How co-op works
Up to four players fight locally or online across Free Play, Survival, Barricade, and eighteen missions. Every kill advances an individual perk build, while the group controls overlapping firing lanes, collects power-ups, and protects the Barricade base from armed mutants and bosses.
About this game
Nation Red throws you into relentless top-down zombie arenas where speed and reflexes matter more than strategy. This is a true co-op shooter built for clearing waves of mutants and bosses in tight, blood-soaked battlefields. Whether you play solo or team up, the action never stops.

The core loop is all about rapid-fire crowd control, constant movement, and unlocking perks as you mow down hordes. Nearly 100 upgrades keep each run feeling different, and the close-quarter design forces players to watch each other's backs. Teamwork becomes instinctive when zombies swarm from every angle.
You can play locally with split-screen co-op or online with friends across Windows, Mac, and Linux thanks to cross-platform multiplayer. Each mode, whether Barricade, Survival, or Free Play, creates short, intense sessions perfect for quick bursts or long endurance runs with a partner.
