❤ Establishing and Expanding Your Base

Players take on the role of the Center for Epidemic Research and Control (CERC), tasked with containing a devastating viral outbreak on Treasure Island. A core part of the gameplay loop is constructing and upgrading your base of operations. You'll need to capture key map locations to generate income, which you can then spend on buildings, technologies, and a diverse roster of military units. The base building mechanics are quite deep, allowing you to strengthen walls, build defensive emplacements like guard towers and turrets, and manage critical infrastructure like power and supply lines.

❤ Coordinating Tactical Combat

Combat is fast-paced and requires careful coordination of your specialized squads. Unit types include riflemen, snipers, engineers, helicopter pilots, and the directly controllable "Operator" class. Positioning, line of sight, and suppressive fire are crucial factors in engagements with the mutated infected forces. You'll need to learn how to effectively leverage the strengths of each unit to overcome the threat.

❤ Containing the Viral Outbreak

At the heart of the experience is the need to stop the spread of the Pangu virus and eliminate the infected threat, led by the powerful "Patient Zero." The infected will constantly attempt to capture and hold strategic points, spawning increasingly dangerous mutations to defend their positions. You must balance offensive pushes to reclaim ground with defensive measures to protect your own holdings, all while managing the resource demands of your forces.

❤ Replayability and Customization

The gameplay offers a good degree of replayability, with the ability to customize various parameters such as the infected types, difficulty level, and victory conditions. The open-world map also encourages different approaches on each playthrough. The developers have also been actively updating the game with new content and features, further expanding the possibilities.
