Some zombie games take a kind approach. They use cartoony visuals and funny noises to make their dead characters as likable as possible.
And then there’s Judgment Day: Last Survivors, which features zombies in all their grim, diverse, mind-bending glory. Watch the trailer below to see what we mean.
Developed by IGG.COM, Doomsday: Last Survivors is a zombie-based post-apocalyptic strategy MMO with elements of exploration, tower defense, resource management, and more.
It sees you play as the commander of a group of survivors in a world that appears to be made up of blood, fragments, body parts and fire.
You’ll need to create a shelter for your cargo, then make sure it’s well-fortified against both zombies and human invaders. Of the two, humans are by far the most dangerous.
Offense is the best defense
It’s not enough to create a shelter in Doomsday: Last Survivors. You also have to explore your environment, fend off the fog of war, and raid other players’ shelters to loot their resources.
Of course, they will try to do the same to you.
Fending them off involves creating defensive formations of heroes and soldiers, tower defense style.
During battles you can tap and drag your units to redeploy them in real time. There are also tons of different troop types to manage, as well as a variety of unique skills to deploy.
Survival in the zombie wasteland involves not only a strategic master plan, but also being a brilliant tactician on the battlefield. Doomsday: Last Survivors covers the spectrum from patient resource management to bloody action.
It also looks the part, with attractive character designs, some hideous zombie monsters and a bleak post-apocalyptic setting.
You can zoom in on receivers too, and navigate the game world using a smart spherical terrain system, so it’s a joy to explore.
