You control an aircraft carrier that you are responsible for stocking with weapons, airplanes, etc that travels around the world fighting zombies and human rebels. The world map has a diverse resource management component where you acquire funds from completing levels then designate resources to combat material, research, squad development, etc (screenshot 2). From the world map (3rd screenshot) you can select any destination you chose, there is a good open world vibe. Each destination has combat that is handled in traditional real time strategy mechanics. You have a team of 4 individuals that you are selected from your roster (screenshot 4). Each field member is equipt with a primary weapon and a secondary weapon, weapons are progressively unlockable through gameplay (wait to you see the rocket propelled grenade) and there is a mix of gun and melee options (machetes!). The levels have a top down view with environmental obstacles like vechicles in the road or building that you can enter (which may house hidden zombies) or there is the ability to drop missles (see screenshot 1), quantity permitting, on designated map areas. The gameplay is open ended and there is so much content it unending. This might strike some as aimless but I really enjoyed the sandbox feel of a hopeless zombie pandemic. Each city can be handled by real time strategy combat but there are a limited number of city maps that appear randomized (so geography eventually repeats, but enemy composition and objectives change). Two new maps are already promised as well as a necessary focus on fleshing out the research component more than it is currently (research is somewhat bare). The developers seem credibly committed to continually updating the game and adding further levels designs. War of the Zombie is well worth $2.99 and there's little else like it on App Store (the best comparison might be the turn based strategy Aliens Versus Humans). The real time strategy gameplay feels tactical and combined with a satisfying simulation component War of Zombies is a good game with unparalleled depth for the RTS genre. Recommended.

I'm guessing you can probably go into more detail now that the game is officially released undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,486 2 36 Houston, TX #6 undeadcow, Jun 26, 2013 Last edited: Jun 26, 2013 Since levels are real time strategy based sometimes it's possible to just run 'n gun yur way through arcade style without regard to strategy. For those who are more strategy minded, there are options. You can control your 4 unit squad individually or as a group so it's possible to see one subteam in one direction and the other somewhere else (or even all 4 units ont heir own). You can use a unit to draw out zombies into a clustered and call a missle to strike them down. Missles destroy buildings and environmental obstacles too so you can carve pathways. Your field team is equipt with weapons of your choice so you chose between melee weapons, different styles of guns with various attack ratings, or even longer range destructive weapons like RPG (so your field equiptment also determines some strategy). You can dig in by camping out or hiding within a building to cut off zombies coming your way. The level ends when you chose to call in a helicopter for extraction so you can kill all zombies or just some. Different enemies (human rebels, zombies) have different attack styles so your approach will need to vary. There are also human survivors in each leve that you can rescue, some of them can be recruited and contribute to your progress.

Since I believe you fire automatically, do different guns have different range radius? (Like Walking Dead Assault) Like theoretically, could I have two guys positioned outside a building then send two guys in to lure the enemies outside into a crossfire?

If auto-fire is on they fire when within range (weapon range varies by item), if auto-fire is off you tap on enemies to fire when they are in range otherwise units are passive. No IAPs. Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #11 Bronxsta, Jun 26, 2013 Perfect. Sold. I had thought it was always auto-fire, didn't you could toggle. Definitely sold. And always helps to support a dedicated dev who releases a premium game with no IAP and promises regular updates Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #12 Appletini, Jun 26, 2013 Lies. There's clearly no rooster in that screenshot. This is the single aspect that ensures I'll pass on this title for now; I don't like games that just keep going until you inevitably lose, with not even a remote chance of an ultimate victory. It'd be like playing a version of XCOM where you could never actually defeat the aliens, or a version of Plague Inc. in which you could never infect the entire world, both of which would feel pretty pointless and unsatisfying to me.

So you just keep playing and playing until either you're dead or bored? Is there any goal to the game you're trying to reach, or just to stay alive? Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #20 Bronxsta, Jun 26, 2013 @undeadcow - really there's no end? Won't stop me from purchasing, but even Plague Inc and X Com have a definite end/victory goal Eradicating the zombie threat a la World War Z (the book) would be very satisfying --- And I'm guessing that because the graphics aren't that intensive, we can encounter some pretty large hordes?
