❤ Turn-Based Combat

The turn-based combat tasks players with navigating through stages, fighting off waves of zombies, and managing the food and survival of their group of survivors. Each stage presents a tactical puzzle, with enemies attacking from multiple angles and limited actions and resources available each turn.

❤ Unit Placement and Synergies

The combat system emphasizes unit placement and synergies between the diverse cast of characters. Players must carefully position their units - each with unique weapons and abilities - to maximize their offensive capabilities while minimizing exposure to the relentless zombie horde. Effective teambuilding and understanding each character's strengths are key to success.

❤ Survival and Resource Management

After each stage, players return to a camp where they must decide who gets to eat the limited rations. Letting characters go hungry for too long results in permanent death, adding an extra layer of challenge and consequence to the decisions made in combat. Balancing combat effectiveness with food consumption creates tense moments as players weigh the needs of the group against the imperative to keep as many characters alive as possible.

❤ Challenge and Replayability

Reviewers praise the game's high level of difficulty, describing it as more of a puzzle game than a traditional tactics experience. The meticulously designed stages require players to discover the optimal solutions through repeated attempts and a deep understanding of the mechanics. The permanent death of characters also adds to the replayability, as players must adapt their strategies to account for the unique strengths and weaknesses of their surviving party members. No two playthroughs are exactly the same, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging.
