About the Game

At its core, Space Pirates and Zombies is an action based, skill oriented, top down space combat game. It’s similar to the ones we knew and loved in years past, but now using full physics simulation and modern graphics for those oh so pretty explosions. But as you dig deeper, SPAZ becomes much more.
Instead of flying a single ship, you are in charge of an ever growing and evolving fleet, unlocking the rich tactical elements of SPAZ, all accessed at the touch of a button. Issue orders, change ships, apply fleet AI settings, all on the fly. At any moment the battle can change, and the Tactics Panel gives you the tools to make the battle turn in your favor.
As a layer on top of the action and tactics, we have a detailed technology and levelup system akin to what you would expect from an RPG. Learn to build new ships by destroying your enemies. Explore the galaxy to find components, use your hard earned research points to unlock their potential, and then customize every aspect of your new fleet.
Finally, there is the universe in which all this strife and adventure takes place. SPAZ features a persistent randomly generated Galaxy populated with story elements, factions, enemies, missions, items, to provide you with a unique experience each time you play. While you are struggling to survive, uncover the secret of an ever expanding Zombie infestation that spreads by establishing its own real time multi-tiered ecosystem.

Key features:

33 ships to research, build, outfit and pilot.
70 unique components to discover and customize your fleet’s performance.
Totally physics based combat system.
Fight Zombie infestations, battling a full zombie ecosystem comprising four stages of un-life.
Explore a persistent randomly generated galaxy containing hundreds of star systems.
Freedom to explore the galaxy and take on challenges at your own pace.
Aid, flee, or exploit the warring factions in each star system.
The unique event system lets the player change the balance of power in any star system
Carefully spend your hard earned research points on hundreds of upgrades across 15 categories.

Around a decade ago I played this game, still a teen, had no money so the game was pirated, had fun, was frustrated by the grind or the somewhat stupid AI, good times. The game still holds up somewhat okay, but there are more frustrations than there used to be: The resolution does not go beyond 1920x1200, and even if it did the UI scale would be pretty bad since there is no adjustment. No windowed fullscreen and the game freezes for a few sec every time you tab in or out. Crashed close to 10 times this playtrough, and the performance is not amazing even on a good system if there is a lot of stuff on screen. Worst of all - the forums and the mods are gone. You can still find a few biggest ones since some people shared what they had on steam, or you can find some info on internet archive since there were some snapshots made, but a bunch of stuff is just gone. Still it's a great game especially for it's time.

You got yourself big and nice ship with a ton of gunpower, armor and shields? Get shit on by a bunch of tiny snots who circle around you. Moronic balance through and through, literaly every ship is useless. And controls - just another level of unbearable ugliness.
