Facebook Social Games Zombie Party new
One of the first things you’ll think of when playing Zombie Party is Dawn of the Dead. Whereas the game name may indicate, Zombie Party isn’t much of a party, but a battle of survival in your own home, fighting off the undead with improvised weapons and whatever you can get your hands on.
At the start, it’s just you and a weapons engineer in your house, along with several pieces of manufacturing equipment. The initial tutorial shows you how to research and manufacture new weapons, and build barricades. Researching new weapons such as catapults and crossbows will consume items such as wood and rope. These can be gained from defeating zombies.
After you have researched different weapons, it’s time to build them. The more you wish to produce, the more it costs and the longer it takes. As you level up, you can start purchasing more machines. With your weapons in hand, it’s time to start killing some zombies. You must place attractors in your yard, and start attracting hoards of zombies. Whilst they are busy trying to attack the attractor, you take your pot shots and start taking them down. Initially, the only attractors you can use are Pumpkin heads, which seem to attract the more, say, slower zombies. As you level up, you can use different items, such as Roulette tables, which will attract the tougher businessman zombies. You can also recruit employees, and weapon them up to help you in your fight. Automated machines can be places around your home, as well as different traps for the zombies to wander into.
As it is a Facebook game, you are encouraged to visit your friends, where you can exchange items with one another, and employ them to help you fight. The more friends you employ, the more special items you can unlock.
What does disappoint however is that the game isn’t a survival race that it makes out to be, no crazed frenzy that is usually with such games. Instead, the game plays out more like a simulation game, with the majority of the player’s time required to be spent tending to the different machinery. This could be taken in a positive way however, as it is different to other zombie games, without all the frantic clicking and button mashing involved.
