Designed and developed by UFO Interactive Games internally, Zombie Slayer Diox puts you into the jeans and leather boots of a samurai guitarist in the year 20xx. Zombies have taken over most major cities in the world and our hero, Diox, is on a quest to put an end to the undead. Diox lures the zombies with his sweet songs and sick guitar solos, and he cuts them down with his mighty katana when they get close. There is a rumor that deep within zombie territory, a super guitar amp exists that can be used to kill thousands of zombies at once with a strum of a simple power chord. Rhythm games and zombie slashers both have the potential to be a lot of fun, but their marriage here in Zombie Slayer Diox is one of conflict, and the weaknesses of both genres are far more vividly on display than the strengths. The music is passable and the visual presentation is clean enough, but the repetitive gameplay and clumsy controls turn the experience into a chore. We could possibly recommend it as a time-waster, but with less expensive and better options already in strong supply in the eShop, there’s nothing that merits a special mention for Zombie Slayer Diox.
