Tired of games that play themselves? Welcome to MALATH... where survival requires brains, tactical planning, and fast reflexes! You are trapped in a dark, industrial underground bunker. The power is failing, and hordes of mutated zombies are coming for you. Weapons alone won't save you... you must build defenses, manage your resources, and watch your weapon's heat meter to stay alive! GAME FEATURES: โ€ข Deep Tactical Action: Build power generators, barricades, and auto-turrets to survive the swarm. โ€ข Realistic Weapon Overheat: There is no reload button! Manage your fire rate carefully. If your gun overheats, it will jam at the worst possible time! โ€ข Sinister AI: Enemies aren't dumb.
