Featuring... Command a Zombie Horde: Your zombie horde will obey your every command without any strike risk or complaints … On the downside; you can’t have any heated conversations about late night movies or cool books anymore tough! Contaminate: Do you need a bigger horde? Well, just convert Humans to your cause then! You don’t necessary need to bring flowers and be charming, as a single bite right into the neck (or anywhere that pleases you) should be enough to do the trick! Unique Mutation System: Take advantage of our mutation system to overcome the enemy’s defences, by creating powerful new zombie types. Combo System: We spiced it up allowing you to combine those and see what your enemies are made of (literally). Let’s show those pesky humans how to have fun! Destructible Environments: In times of a zombie apocalypse, humans love to take their time playing hide and seek. However when the hunger for tasty flesh is this painful, you don’t have time for such childishness. So use the power or your horde to destroy their playground and spread terror among them.
