SAS: Zombie Assault is a famous series of {{Shoot Em Up}}s by Creator/NinjaKiwi. Currently, there are four main games (Five if you count [[ExpansionPack Insane Asylum]]) and a TowerDefense SpinOff. Alternatively, the guys down at the SAS Zombie Assault Wiki have created a list of tropes for SAS 4 which can be accessed [[http://saszombieassault.wikia.com/wiki/Forum%3ASAS_4_Tropes here]]. So far there are 4 parts of the game made in the following order: [[http://www.saszombieassault4.net/sas-zombie-assault1 SAS 1]], [[http://www.saszombieassault4.net/sas-zombie-assault2 SAS 2]], [[http://www.saszombieassault4.net/sas-zombie-assault3 SAS 3]] and [[http://www.saszombieassault4.net/ SAS 4]].

* {{AKA 47}}: '''MASSIVELY''' [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Every weapon that you can find in RealLife has its real name. Except for the M249 SAW, but that's just what the UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks call it, so it doesn't count.

* BigBad / FinalBoss: Averted. Even though the Ruin or Necrosis are very strong, there is no zombie leader, as far as declassified SAS reports go.

* DeadWeight: Bloaters in SAS2, Insane Asylum, SAS3, SASTD, and SAS4. Also, Regurgitators in SAS4.
* ExcusePlot: The first two games and Insane Asylum have a plot that runs like "You are in a church/military base/insane asylum that is being attacked by zombies. Survive." The third game had a plot that was AllThereInTheManual. (If you look at the loading screens, you can get some info as to what the story is about.
** Averted in SAS 4. The missions clearly tell you what the objectives are and the story of the game.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The first two games and Insane Asylum feature [[FleshEatingZombie Flesh-Eating Zombies]], but the rest of the series has [[PlagueZombie Plague Zombies]], with a few [[ParasiteZombie Parasite Zombies]].

!!Tropes specific to [[http://www.unblockedgamesroom.com/sas-zombie-assault-2 SAS2]] and Insane Asylum here:
* ActionBomb: The [[MonsterClown clowns]] in Insane Asylum.

* {{BFG}}: The [[MoreDakka M60 and MG4]] in SAS2 and Insane Asylum.
** Also from Insane Asylum is the [[SniperRifle .700]] [[OneHitPolykill Nitro]] [[UpToEleven Express]].

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Even more so than SAS1, as shotguns do RIDICULOUS damage to zombies in this installment.
** The M1014 appears in Insane Asylum as what may be the best non-premium weapon aside from the M60.

* SniperRifle: The AWM returns from SAS1 in SAS2, and Insane Asylum has the [[{{BFG}} .700 Nitro Express]].

!!Tropes specific to [[http://www.unblockedgamesroom.com/sas-zombie-assault-3 SAS3]] here.

!!Tropes specific to [[http://www.unblockedgamesroom.com/sas-zombie-assault-4 SAS 4]] here:

* FaceHeelTurn: The [=HVM=] soldiers after shooting down the ambulance in the Ice Station mission.
-->'''[=HVM=] Captain:''' "Do it." [the [=HVM=] soldiers start firing at the ambulance]
-->'''SAS Soldier:''' "[[YouMonster What have you done? Those people could have been saved!]]"
-->'''[=HVM=] Captain:''' "[[IDidWhatIHadToDo We have our orders]]. [[HeKnowsTooMuch And there can be no witnesses.]]"

--->The truck is about to blow!

* UpToEleven: The achievement ''Goes up to 11'' requires reaching level 11 with a character.

-->"I'm this close to putting a bullet in the guy's face..."

** Assault Rifle: L85A2 in SAS; Lee Enfield, G3, and HK417 in SAS2 and Insane Asylum; AK-47, [[Franchise/{{Aliens}} M41A Grendel]], and SCAR in SAS2, Insane Asylum, and SAS3; M16A4, REC7, ARX160, Steyr AUG, FAL, M1 Garand, Beowulf .50, and [[ManOnFire ZCS Wipeout]] in SAS3; Z-1 Assault, Mixmaster, Ronson 65-a, Raptor, CM 405 Planet Stormer, CM Gigavolt, [[MagneticWeapons Sub-light COM2]], CM 451 Starburst, RIA 20 DSC, RIA 20 PARA, [[ManOnFire RIA 20 Striker]], and HVM 006 G-Class in SAS4

* ArtificialStupidity: The buddy. Sure, he gives you some extra firepower, but if you die while he's still alive, [[YouAreAlreadyDead you've pretty much lost]], since he's [[WhatAnIdiot incapable of shrugging off the zombies that can swarm him]]. Unless you can revive fast enough, however.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: A large, muscular zombie sometimes appears that [[FlunkyBoss spawns in skeletons from fallen zombies.]] Nobody is really sure what exactly it is, but a popular FanNickname for it is "Demon", due to the appearance.

** Pistol: P226 Sig Sauer in SAS, SAS2, and Insane Asylum; Glock 17, Ruger P97, Desert Eagle, IMI SP-21 Barak, MAC-10, Beretta 93R and Glock 20 in SAS3; HVM 001, RIA 313, CM 205, Ronson 45, and Sabre in SAS4.
** Revolver: Raging Bull and [[HandCannon .600 Nitro Express]] in SAS3, Trailblazer and Poison Claw in SAS4
** Shotgun: M870 in SAS, SAS2, and Insane Asylum; [[MoreDakka AA-12]] and Benelli M4 in Insane Asylum and SAS3; Stoeger Side-by-Side, Winchester 9140, SPAS-12, Saiga .401K, Striker, UTAS UTS-15, and [[PlagueMaster SCM]][[FlechetteStorm ITR]] in SAS3; HVM 004, [[ManOnFire RIA 30 Strikeforce]], [[HandCannon Mus]][[SawedOffShotgun tang]], Stripper, [[MoreDakka Hard Thorn]], and 1887 Shockfield in SAS4.

* GatlingGood: The Proposition and the HIKS [=M1000=].

* RealityEnsues: Your character starts moving slower the longer you stay alive in Apocalypse.

** SentryGun: Light and Heavy Sentries in SAS; Vickers and [[MoreDakka ADWS]] in SAS2 and Insane Asylum; [[GatlingGood GECAL50]] and ADWS in SAS3; HVM Heavy Machine Gun Sentry, Ronson Cryogenics Turret, HIKS Heavyshot Protector Turret, Flugkörper, [[FireBreathingWeapon Ronson Mk. V Flamer Sentry]], [[FrickinLaserBeams CM Supernova]], and [[MoreDakka CM Zeus Exclusion Zone]] in SAS4.

* FrickinLaserBeams: While the Hotspot just fires a solid one, the HIKS 3100 fires these despite being classified as a rocket launcher.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: Justified. [[TropesAreNotBad The incredibly detailed graphics and sections of levels all load at once.]] Averted for the mobile version, because the graphics and animation quality is downgraded, and it loads one section of a level at a time (Vaccine mission only), which means the loading times are significantly shorter than the online version.

* NintendoHard: [[{{Understatement}} Nightmare]] mode. The maps are designed to look scarier, the enemies hit harder with nightmarish zombies, major bosses can appear [[WakeUpCallBoss in the middle of the mission]], and zombie pods are almost everywhere, '''and they can contain nightmarish zombies.''' Oh, and [[BladderOfSteel you can't pause]], given that this is a multiplayer game mode. You think Adaptive is an unnecessary augment for your guns in this mode? '''Think again.''' [[HardModePerks On the other hand, killing the bosses in this mode will net you with a lot of loot]].

* ShoutOut: One of the power ups is [[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch]], which works as a SmartBomb.

* [[ArmorPiercingAttack Armor Piercing Zombie]]: Dark Minion zombies disregard all damage reduction from armor.

* {{AKA 47}}: '''MASSIVELY''' [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Every weapon that you can find in RealLife has its real name. Except for the M249 SAW, but that's just what the YanksWithTanks call it, so it doesn't count.

* ChainsawGood: One of the [[BrigingYourWayToVictory premium weapons]] is a chainsaw. It's AwesomeButImpractical, as it's exclusively melee.

** [[MoreDakka SMG]]: MP5 in the first three games; MP7 in SAS2, Insane Asylum, and SAS3; Skorpion, Vector,, Minibea PM-9, [[MoreDakka ZCS Seizure]], PP19 Bizon, and P90 in SAS3; Z-2 LMP, CM 307, RIA 7, [[ManOnFire RIA T-7]], Ronson 55, CM 351 Sunflare, and Phantom in SAS4.

* BangBangBANG: The MP5 sounds significantly deeper in this game than in the previous 3.

** The mission Vaccine. You have to extract the vaccine before the jolt ships, sent by the Trans-System President, who didn't know about the vaccine, destroy Aartis.

* NintendoHard: [[{{Understatement}} Nightmare]] mode. The maps are designed to look scarier, the enemies hit harder with nightmarish zombies, major bosses can appear [[WakeUpCallBoss in the middle of the mission]], and zombie pods are almost everywhere, '''and they can contain nightmarish zombies.''' Oh, and [[BladderOfSteel you can't pause]], given that this is a multiplayer game mode. You think Adaptive is an unnecessary augment for your guns in this mode? '''Think again.'''
** HardModePerks: On the other hand, killing the bosses in this mode will net you with a lot of loot.
* NoFairCheating: If you get an error that says "Unknown error: account data exception", you definitely cheated, preventing the game from loading. And of course, all progress on the account you were using to play this game is now LostForever.

* ObviousBeta

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The first two games and Insane Asylum feature FleshEatingZombies, but the rest of the series has PlagueZombies, with a few ParasiteZombies.
