City Z

City Z is a top-down shooter set six months after a virus devastated humanity and toppled governments. You lead a resistance group, taking on missions to eliminate the infected from cities across the region. The game supports virtual reality natively, but you can also play without a VR headset.

Missions and cities

Each new game randomly generates its scenery, objectives, weather and date. Missions take place in different cities and feature varying characters and objectives. Cities can include houses, buildings, skyscrapers, parks, forests and monuments. Mission objectives include killing all zombies, resisting an assault, killing a boss, rescuing and escorting a VIP or family member, and testing an antidote prototype on infected civilians.

Survivors and infection

You may encounter survivors who can help if they trust you. You can form groups, share weapons, ammunition and antidotes, and manage their faith in you. An infected bite may turn you into one of the creatures you are fighting.

Attributes and weapons

Your character has attributes including stamina, virus resistance and social skills, as well as a starting weapon. You can use pistols, shotguns, grenades and knives.

Game modes

The game includes randomly generated missions to clear the virus from cities in the region, as well as a Survival mode. In Survival, you kill as many zombies as you can, choose from different difficulty levels and compete on leaderboards.
