ZomDay

ZomDay is a zombie combat game in which you fight off waves of enemies, alone or with teammates. Zombies attack from all directions, and different kinds cooperate as the battles grow harder. You can use terrain and temporary buffs from drops to improve your combat ability.

Survive each wave

Between waves, you can buy equipment, collect airdropped supplies and gather materials dropped by enemies. After each wave you survive, the settlement system rates your combat performance based on factors including accuracy, headshots, injuries and hits. Higher ratings earn more airdropped supplies and experience. You can recycle obsolete weapons and materials for funds, try your luck at a slot machine, or use a gun stock to fight when you run out of ammunition.

Modes and co-op

The game has different difficulty levels and challenge modes, including Sniper, Survival and Hand-to-Hand Combat modes. In online play, you can join an open game and team up with other players to form defensive attack formations, buy them bullets and weapons, or give them a weapon. Teammates’ combat assessments affect each other, and friendly fire is possible.

Character and weapon progression

You earn character experience by killing zombies, collecting dropped XP and clearing combat encounters. Leveling up increases your health and ammunition capacity and unlocks more items in the store. You can upgrade acquired skills to activate Perks, with different combinations producing different effects. Each weapon has its own proficiency level, which rises with use and improves its power, clip size and accuracy.

Weapons and combat

ZomDay includes over 40 guns and more than 10 melee weapons, along with grenades. The arsenal includes pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles and grenade launchers, as well as wrenches, hammers, fire axes and your fists. Enemy hit reactions respond to the force and direction of weapon impacts, using a blend of physical simulation and animation.

Sound and battlefield

Monster cries, gunfire, explosions and footsteps are spatially positioned, with sound affected by distance, reverberation and obstruction. Gun sounds are sampled from real police-force recordings. The battlefield can show many enemies at once, and the game uses optimized AI calculations and rendering for VR.
