A Army Base

A Army Base is a 2D side-scrolling shooter with a third-person perspective. You manage a squad at the A-troop base, produce supplies, equip your team and defend against increasingly numerous zombie attacks each night. When the squad is killed in battle, new A-troop soldiers arrive by helicopter to take over the base and continue the fight.

Squad and multiplayer

You can play alone with a keyboard and mouse, or locally with up to four gamepad players and one keyboard-and-mouse player. Use a radio to call AI-controlled teammates into your squad, and switch control between squad members. Each has a customizable appearance, individual equipment and a backpack; you can also exchange items between team members.

Survival and injuries

Human characters have needs including hunger, thirst, fatigue and sleep rather than traditional health bars. They can bleed, become angry or scared, and recover from injuries on their own. Bleeding and injuries are visibly reflected in their physical condition, and characters grow weaker until they may crawl or faint. Use bandages to stop bleeding, medicine to aid recovery, or sleep to regain health. The game also features ragdoll physics.

Base and equipment

The base has cabinets for storing supplies and equipment, workbenches for producing necessary resources, and a research lab where you research which items can be made. There is no money system. You prepare firearms, melee weapons, grenades, armor, backpacks and vehicles, and expand your team to get ready for combat.

Vehicles can be found as transportable wrecks. Place one on a vehicle repair station to fix it, then customize its appearance; vehicles have weapons and a trunk for ammunition and other items.

DLC modifier

A separate DLC modifier offers enhanced options for customizing the game and battles.
