Our take on Atom Zombie Smasher
Its defining structure is the evacuation mission: tactical units are used to move civilians out of randomly generated, destructible cities before the zombie threat overwhelms them.
What is Atom Zombie Smasher?
Atom Zombie Smasher is a strategy game about evacuating civilians during a zombie apocalypse.
Players direct large-scale rescue missions and deploy mercenary groups such as snipers, demolition teams, and orbital bombardment crews. Mercenaries can be hired and upgraded as campaigns progress. Cities are generated randomly, so each campaign uses different layouts and situations. The environment can be destroyed during operations, including through explosive attacks. Campaigns support cooperative play for up to three people, and mod support allows players to alter game rules. The central objective remains evacuation: civilians must be moved out before zombies overrun them. The game combines unit management, tactical intervention, destructible locations, and procedurally varied campaign structure.
