The Boxhead Games are a somewhat original series of zombie survival games created, published in flash, and available to play for free online on many gaming websites. There are currently 5 games in the series and the latest and most successful is Boxhead The Zombie Wars. They were created by Sean Cooper, published by Crazy Monkey Games and can be classified as third person shooters or zombie survivors.

The first addition, Boxhead A Halloween Special, varies with the rest in relation to the objectives of the game. You must guide civilians to safety through zombie-infested streets using all means necessary to defend them from carnivorous attacks. Your task is aided by a variety of powerful weapons, the first being a pistol with unlimited ammunition and upgrades including an Uzi and a shotgun.

The first Boxhead game is fairly simple to play and does not provide the player with any sense of urgency or challenge. It’s still pretty fun to shoot the slow meat-eating specimens with all sorts of weaponry, but I’d recommend playing one of the other top sequels.

The second game, Boxhead The Rooms, removes the idea of ​​protecting others and turns to self-preservation as the main goal. By choosing one of the 5 rooms, you must avoid and get rid of zombie attacks using one of many different means, including powerful weapons like the shotgun, grenades, explosive barrels, and proximity mines.

The second game has been polished very well compared to the first and is much more aesthetic. New weapons and upgrades are obtained gradually by killing a certain number of zombies. One of the best weapons is the rocket launcher, which is extremely powerful, however the power carries great caution and firing it too close to you can result in a great loss of health.

Although the goal of the game is self-preservation, the real goal is to score high. Shooting a zombie earns you 100 points, for each zombie you kill in an allotted time, your score increases exponentially. If you fail to kill your next zombie in the given time, your next score will be lower than the most recent. Obviously with more powerful weapons it is much easier to get a high score per kill.

The second game is worth a play or two, but it can get a bit tedious after a while and this also applies to the third addition in the series: Boxhead More Rooms.

The title says it all; it is the second game everywhere but with more rooms. There are some additional features in addition to the new levels, such as difficult settings that were not available in the second game.

You can choose from 4 difficulties, Beginner, Intermediate, Expert and Nightmare, with Nightmare proving to be incredibly impossible.

Boxhead 2 Play adds more weaponry, new upgrades, a choice between 4 characters, specific level settings, and more levels. All of this almost makes up for the poor main additional feature of More Rooms: the multiplayer options.

Although played against each other or cooperatively, it works without a hitch, there is an extreme lack of variety of levels and space. Co-op doesn’t even have a split screen, which means that both players are left fighting in a static one-screen environment.

Boxhead The Zombie Wars is surprisingly not the best of the bunch, with game option 2 out of the box and the focus being on better gameplay, a wider variety of monsters, superior graphics, and improved sound effects.

I recommend playing this addition to the maximum of all 5. It will give you a real feel for how far flash shooter games have come, with flash developers and publishers now designing high-quality free flash games that rival paid games. .

Game verdict

To conclude, The Boxhead Game series provides a twist on the zombie survival genre, but that twist isn’t enough to bow down to the creators of the games.

The graphics will be delightful though, especially in the final addition and, along with great gameplay and sound effects, plus very challenging difficulty levels, Boxhead Zombie Wars will certainly satisfy your thirst for shooting masochism.
