Our take on Swarm the City: Zombie Evolved
The defining premise is role reversal: the player commands the King of the Dead, converts living creatures into soldiers, and uses the resulting zombie force to attack human cities.
What is Swarm the City: Zombie Evolved?
Play as the King of the Dead in a real-time strategy game focused on building zombie armies.
Infect humans, animals, and mutants to expand the undead forces, then command them against cities defended by modern weapons. Captured weapons include sniper rifles, armored vehicles, helicopters, and submarines; zombies can gain weapon knowledge by consuming human brains. Levels require different approaches to defeat varied enemies. Zombie generals can be rescued, evolved with crystals, and changed into different forms. The King can also draw power from fear, restore Divinity, and cast spells. Weapon Memories and Memory Fragments are collectible resources. The game uses quick-to-learn controls and a stylized dark fairy-tale setting.
