Zompiercer is a 3D zombie survival game where most action happens on the rails. Take control of the train and scour the world for resources to craft equipment. You can also use these resources to build a suitable base inside railway cars. Developed by DDDimanN, Zompiercer might not have the stellar graphics like many others, but its unique take on the zombie survival genre is enough to warrant a playthrough.
Anyway, the game received Update 14 recently which introduced the Boss Zombie. You'll find this formidable foe randomly in one of the locations in the game. Before venturing out, be sure to pack the strongest weapons you have because the Boss Zombie is surely going to give you a hard time.
The Boss Zombie is not alone, though. Six new unique zombies have been added as well. On top of that, the zombie AI has been refined. Now, the zombies will move around and are less likely to stay in one place just waiting to get hit.
Because of the addition of new zombies, the developer has added a "Zombestiary," a compendium you need to tackle these mindless beings.
