Sony’s definitely opened the Gamescom 2014 floodgates now, announcing its first new PlayStation Vita title of the week. Developed by small Newcastle upon Tyne outfit Nosebleed Interactive, The Hungry Horde looks like a combination between When Vikings Attack and Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov’s Revenge, in which you must shepherd a growing crowd of angry corpses.
The title originally started life as a PlayStation Mobile release, but has rapidly evolved into a native Vita game. The core gameplay loop sees your mob of undead breaking through the non-infected’s defences in order to escape from the missiles pointed in your direction. You won’t need an especially large group to smash through fences, but when tanks and armed guards come to play, a mass of bodies will help you to maul your fleshy foes.
Apparently, the small indie studio at the helm couldn’t stop there, however, as the title is practically bursting with minigames, too. In addition to an 8-bit isometric shooter, there’s also a rhythm game, where you’ll need to do the conga with a bunch of reanimated bodies. Has this little extra piqued your interest? Groan in the comments section below.

The laughter never ends! Oh this is a thing?
I actually think it looks quite good to be honest
The humour just doesn't work for me, and do we really need another zombie game? With that said.... at least it looks like they tried to do something a little different. Might be a good one for younger gamers and those who like throwaway, fun titles.
These exclusives are amazing really shows off the power of the Vita.
Looks pretty fun actually.
Lol so now the Vita is for the players? That's the first time I seen that.
@Johnnycide How many zombie games on Vita?
@XFsWorld Well there's Dead nation, OMG Zombies, Age of Zombies, I think Plants Vs Zombies was ported too. There's ZRun, The Walking Dead (though I wouldn't call that a "Zombie Game" personally, but there we go)... That's off the top of my head. There's probably more though. There's one that just got announced as well, I forget the name but it looked awful.
Anyway I'm with you on your previous comment. This game looks fun enough, but it's not really something I'd play that much.
This will bomb hard and then Shahid will punch himself in the face.
