Zedfest (v1.0)

Zedfest is a brutal cooperative shooter set in a twisted game show where players face off against relentless hordes of grotesque creatures known as Zeds. These bioengineered monstrosities, designed with flawed artificial intelligence and infused with animal DNA, are programmed solely to stop contestants from completing their objectives—and to provide gruesome entertainment. Whether playing solo or teaming up with up to five friends, players must survive wave after wave of these vicious enemies by completing various mission types, including escorting allies, destroying deadly viruses, or simply holding out against endless hordes. The game offers a diverse experience through its selection of five distinct classes, each with unique weapon loadouts and attributes, alongside a wide arsenal of over 30 weapons, grenades, and equipment available from the early access release. Players can customize their playstyle further with different perks, tailoring their role to be either a self-sufficient fighter or a supportive teammate. Zedfest’s persistent blood effects add to the visceral atmosphere, leaving lasting splatters throughout the environment as limbs are blown off in combat. The AI is designed to challenge players with a mix of melee and ranged attacks, occasionally coordinating in groups to increase the threat. For those seeking competitive edge, an online leaderboard tracks performance across waves, difficulty, kills, and scores, encouraging players to push their limits in this chaotic and gory battleground.
