Our take on Wanna Survive
The store pitch foregrounds fast zombie fights and tactical positioning, while the stated survival loop also depends on food allocation and permanent character loss. These decisions give the journey a resource-management and consequence layer alongside its combat focus.
What is Wanna Survive?
Wanna Survive is a turn-based tactics game set during a zombie apocalypse.
Players make their way toward North City through battles against groups of undead. Combat centers on positioning and unit synergies, with enemies moving simultaneously and attacking from all sides. Decisions in combat and ration management affect whether characters survive; anyone who dies is gone for good. Players choose who gets to eat, adding food allocation to the tactical decisions. The journey may lead to the Sanctuary, while challenging stages test players' tactical skills.
