Red Tie Miner Zombie is a follow up release to an earlier XBLA Indie game, Red Tie Miner. Not having played the original there’s no way to say what has been improved or added, however I can’t imagine it being as much fun without the zombies. There are so very many zombies. RTMZ pits the player as a simple mine worker who happened to be in the middle of an underground zombie outbreak, quickly converting all of your other miner buddies into mindless killing machines that need to be eliminated to save the world. The intro video is a quick and quirky little explanation of this, and certainly brings a chuckle with it.
Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "I don’t know about everyone else, but when I think of mining, I think of digging……digging down to be precise. Well, while Red Tie Miner includes plenty of digging in just about every direction possible, the primary goal of the game is actually one of ascension rather than descendancy".
