Biters

About

Biters puts you in the shoes of an unnamed police officer defending the seaside town of Claymouth from a zombie outbreak. The story kicks off after a mysterious gunman starts shooting civilians, leaving chaos in his wake. You soon meet a colleague who reveals that a green monster has already taken out their squad, forcing you to fight alone. This pixel side-scrolling shooter mixes platforming with heavy hacking and slashing mechanics as you clear streets of undead threats. The game focuses on fast combat rather than deep narrative twists. Ratings from the community show it scores around 7.4 based on player feedback. Players appreciate the tight controls and the retro visual style that matches the classic beat em up feel. It does not hold your hand through the story, letting you figure out what happened in Claymouth as you progress. The green monster threat adds a specific urgency to every level since you are essentially running a one man rescue mission.
