Nation Red

Nation Red is an arena-based shooter with fast, close-quarters fights against armies of zombie mutants and their bosses. You can play alone, in local co-op or online co-op, earning nearly 100 perks as you fight.

The zombie outbreak

In August 1977, groups of zombies infiltrated remote Midwestern towns. They could not use tools or weapons, and were driven back into the desert. Special elimination posses hunted the survivors; six weeks after the search began, the last known zombie was killed.

More than 30 years later, a truck driver on a desolate Arizona road crashes into a wall of undead. Before losing his phone signal, he reports that some are carrying guns. The zombies have returned, and now they are hunting people.

Modes and missions

You can play Free Play, Survival or Barricade, or take on 18 missions that grow increasingly brutal. In Barricade mode, you defend your base against zombie attacks. Online and local co-op let you face the horde and earn perks together.

Weapons and upgrades

The arsenal includes machetes, axes, jackhammers, dual Uzis, flamethrowers, grenades and poison, as well as a Steam Hammer that rips the skin off opponents. Zombies can wield weapons including axes, cut-off saws and AK-47s. You can combine 100 player modifiers with two dozen power-ups, and earn close to 100 perks.

The game includes over 100 Steam achievements, a dozen leaderboards and 30 additional perks designed by Steam users. Steam user-designed weapons include the Minigun, AA-12, MP5, Beretta 93R and Super Shorty.
