## Description

War of the Zombie is a globe-spanning zombie outbreak strategy game that blends turn-based planning with real-time combat.

## Review summary

War of the Zombie is praised for its deep tactical depth, hands-on unit control, and ongoing developer support, with offline play and strong value. However, recurring drawbacks include AI/pathfinding issues, overpowered rebels, unreliable saves, and a desire for more content (sandbox mode, maps, weapons). Some call for UI improvements and tutorials, plus concerns about currency grind and balance to unlock nukes. Overall, a solid strategy zombie game that could benefit from polish and more content.

### Pros

- Deep tactical depth with hands-on control over units and reloadable missions for adjustable difficulty.
- Active developer support with regular updates and ongoing improvements.
- Offline play with strong replay value across missions.
- Good value for money / worth the price.

### Cons

- AI/pathfinding issues and rebels that feel overpowered, making some battles unfair.
- Unreliable saves and save UI problems, including lost saves.
- Desire for more content: sandbox mode, more maps and weapons, varied missions.
- UI/UX shortcomings: confusing interface, limited information, and few tutorials.
- Currency grind and balance concerns, slow to earn money to unlock powerful nukes.
