About the story
The year is 1854, in Japan at the end of the Edo period. At the time, Japan was in the midst of its isolation, but Western countries were undergoing a technological and labor revolution called the "Zombie Industrial Revolution," and were eagerly watching for new colonial settlements with a power unmatched in Japan. Soon, the Black Ships arrived in Japan and demanded the opening of the country to the outside world. This allows the zombies to invade Japan.... The zombies that entered the country created more zombies, and the zombie infestation spread around Edo. At such a time, a group of people with mysterious powers, unaffected by zombies, appeared. People rumored them to be the "Zom-beings." Now, the hunt for zombies by the three "Zom-beings" has begun in order to restore Japan to the way it was before the country was opened to the outside world!!

By Jacob SandersonEd-0: Zombie Uprising is a very odd title which is relatively hard to recommend to many people, however it most definitely has an audience. If you're willing to put up with the game's many quirks, you may find something to love here.

By Chad JohnsonIt scratched the itch I have for more Elden Ring without feeling overly difficult for the sake of being difficult.
Niche Gamer
By Fingal BelmontA morbid reward awaits the gamers who persevere. In the face of such adversity, within a devilish allure emerges a dark humor that grins from the corners of this bizarre game. Even moments of drunken stumbling and unfettered puking can take on a certain charm, a testament to the unapologetic absurdity that thrives within Ed-0: Zombie Uprising.

By Matt SainsburyThere is a lot to admire about Ed-0. Conceptually it’s spot on, the gameplay is taut, albeit “classical”, and the atmosphere is thick and entertaining. Unfortunately, it’s also a story of missed opportunities, and what could have been a truly stand-out experience ends up being just a flashy B-grade roguelike. Is it worth the time investment? Sure. Is it going to be something you remember for many years to come? Sadly, no.
