About

Greedwave

Features
Read full description

A top-down zombie shooter where the hard part is leaving. The horde grows in five phases. A helicopter comes down once per phase after the first, on one of three pads, and which pad it picks is decided when the wave starts. Never the same pad twice in a row. Everything you found this raid sits in a pocket that only that helicopter makes real. Everything you bought stays yours no matter how badly it goes, so the question is never whether you can survive another phase. It's whether you needed to. Three maps. A house in daylight, grass yard, five doors you can barricade. A motel on a rainy night with fifteen doors, which is more than you can hold. And a quarantine post that fell, spread across five separate buildings. Shambler and Runner are the crowd. Brute goes through barricades. Bloater poisons the ground where it dies. Armored won't take damage from the front, so you move. In the last phase the Colossus arrives, too wide to fit through any door, and the only place it can be hurt is its back. Weapons run from a silenced pistol to a minigun, three upgrade tracks each. Barricades, turrets, grenades, two vests. You can play without a vest. People do. Between raids: coin, levels, a shop, a loadout, an appearance screen. All of it checked on the server, not on your phone. Free. No ads, no purchases. Turkish and English.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Greedwave at none against Nightmare's shown. Greedwave also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
