Ed-0: Zombie Uprising

About

Ed-0: Zombie Uprising drops you in a zombie-infested Edo-era Japan where you play as one of three combatants: a Samurai, Sumo Wrestler, or Ninja. Your goal is to clear procedurally generated dungeons teeming with undead hordes, collecting weapons and abilities to survive increasingly brutal waves. Combat is fast and chaotic, requiring quick reflexes and smart resource management. Every session reshapes the world, ensuring no two runs feel alike. You’ll face tough choices, risk everything for rare loot or play it safe and prolong your survival. The game thrives on its relentless tension and unpredictable design. Randomized encounters and scarce healing force you to adapt constantly, balancing aggression with caution. While the art style and historical setting stand out, the real hook is the grind, each death teaches what works and what doesn’t. With a 78% on Metacritic, it’s a tough but replayable romp for fans of roguelike action. Survival isn’t just about strength, it’s about knowing when to push and when to retreat.

Storyline

The year is 1854, in Japan at the end of the Edo period. At the time, Japan was in the midst of its isolation, but Western countries were undergoing a technological and labor revolution called the "Zombie Industrial Revolution," and were eagerly watching for new colonial settlements with a power unmatched in Japan. Soon, the Black Ships arrived in Japan and demanded the opening of the country to the outside world. This allows the zombies to invade Japan.... The zombies that entered the country created more zombies, and the zombie infestation spread around Edo. At such a time, a group of people with mysterious powers, unaffected by zombies, appeared. People rumored them to be the "Zom-beings." Now, the hunt for zombies by the three "Zom-beings" has begun in order to restore Japan to the way it was before the country was opened to the outside world!!
