Our take on Red Cap Squad: Zombie Source
The emphasis on squad composition and tactical deployment may suggest a slower command-focused game, but the stated structure centers on surviving a 20-minute run against continuous zombie waves. Its strategic choices are framed within a compact, repeatable survival format rather than a campaign.

Recruit up to 10 soldiers from 16 types, choose one of 4 commanders, and arrange the team using 6 formations.
