Zombo Buster Advance is a tower defense game taking place inside buildings with interchangeable elevators. Deploy, swap and shoot like a boss!
The game lets you deploy up to three units per elevator and then swap the elevators around to send your firepower where needed most. This mechanic adds a layer of strategic positioning, as you must carefully consider the best placement of your units to counter the incoming zombie hordes on each floor.
The game offers over 16 distinct unit types, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities. As you progress through the 50 levels, you can unlock and upgrade these units using a badge system. By combining badges, you can create more powerful versions of your units, allowing you to craft your own customized "super soldiers" to take on increasingly challenging enemies.
Prepare to face over 45 different zombie types, each with unique behaviors and abilities that you must learn to counter. The game also incorporates environmental hazards, such as escalators and travelators, which can aid the zombie advance if not properly managed. This variety of enemies and obstacles keeps the gameplay feeling fresh and requires you to adapt your strategies accordingly.
In addition to your deployable units, you have access to a variety of supportive gadgets, like dynamite and "kill-with-snap" gauntlets. Use these gadgets to turn the tide of a battle, especially during boss encounters or the final waves of a level. You must also manage your limited supply of consumable items, further emphasizing the need for strategic planning.
The game offers a solid progression system, allowing you to earn points and currency to upgrade your units and gadgets. While the main campaign can be completed relatively quickly, the game encourages replayability through a series of challenging achievements that require you to experiment with different unit compositions and tactics.
