About Everdark: Undead Apocalypse
Everdark: Undead Apocalypse is a single-player shooter and adventure game developed by Everdark Labs and published by Dojo System. Released on October 24, 2025, it blends 80s horror aesthetics with survival mechanics. Set in a city overrun by vampires, you play as a survivor armed with stakes, garlic, and firearms. The game leans into claustrophobic tension and rapid combat, mixing melee and ranged attacks. It runs on PC, Xbox Series, and PS5. Think fast-paced action with resource scarcity, set to a synth-heavy soundtrack. Ideal for fans of horror-movie pacing and gritty combat loops.
Gameplay
Combat in Everdark revolves around switching between melee weapons like stakes and ranged options like shotguns, often in quick succession. You scavenge for garlic rounds and holy water to weaken enemies while managing a limited ammo pool. Each level forces tough choices: conserve resources or risk aggressive play. The camera tightens during close-quarters fights, amplifying tension. Boss battles feature multi-phase vampire encounters requiring precise timing. Movement feels responsive but not floaty, with a focus on cover-based positioning. The game’s difficulty spikes in later chapters, demanding memorization of enemy spawn patterns and weapon reload speeds.
What Players Think
Everdark holds a 4.3/5 average on PlayPile, with 87% of players completing the main story. The community moods are split: 62% rate it “intense” and 33% “frustrating.” Average playtime is 10 hours, though hardcore players hit 15, 20. Reviewers praise the “unrelenting atmosphere” but criticize inconsistent enemy AI. One player wrote, “The combat is chaotic but fair,” while another griped, “Reloading during a horde feels punishing.” Achievement completion sits at 78%, with 42% unlocking all 50+ trophies. Critic scores average 84/100, calling it “a love letter to 80s horror fans.”
PlayPile's Take
Everdark: Undead Apocalypse is a high-energy survival shooter best for players who thrive on tension and resource management. Priced at $39.99, it offers solid value with a 10, 15 hour playthrough. The achievement system rewards persistence, especially for the 23% who complete 100% of trophies. While not perfect, enemy spawns can feel unfair, it succeeds as a chaotic, stylish homage to retro horror. Skip if you prefer relaxed gameplay or polished mechanics. For its price, it’s a worthwhile purchase for genre enthusiasts.
