Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a purely turn-based strategy game may find the real-time combat structure unsuitable
- Players wanting a tightly focused campaign may find the worldwide scope, personnel systems, and many strategic actions demanding

- Players seeking a non-zombie setting may not want a campaign centered on an undead outbreak
Our take on War Of The Zombie
The store presentation emphasizes a worldwide outbreak and a long list of strategic actions, but gives less attention to the split between global management and real-time missions. That structure may matter more to the experience than the headline premise.
What is War Of The Zombie?
Manage Safe Industries as its Global Operations Director during a worldwide undead outbreak.
Recruit, train, promote, and deploy four-marine teams into real-time missions against zombies and rebels. Travel between locations, complete missions across varied maps and climates, explore procedurally generated underground facilities, and use vehicles and air support. Develop marines, rescue specialist staff, research technologies, build weapons, and operate up to four forward bases. The global layer includes interactions with 200 countries, including bribery, infection, scavenging, nuclear strikes, and defense. Missions take place in destructible zones where characters can survive, die, or become undead. Text can be switched from English to several auto-translated languages.
