Not specific, just want to know if this even exists: a city clearing zombie game
Has anyone made a zombie game where you actually clear/retake an infested city? Lots of games have you raid a city to build a base somewhere else, (7D2D, unturned, now Vein, etc.) or just do things in an infested city (Dying Light, RE, etc.) sometimes culminating in some sort of big climax that results in or implies the end of the zombie times, or maybe you just leave, but are there any that have that element of progression where you slowly take more of the map and the zombies aren’t just randomly spawned in a radius around the player regardless of how many you knock down? The closest I have ever found was an old flash game from when those were a thing, based around worker placement and resource management.
There’s a fun indie game called Atom Zombie Smasher where you kind of do the opposite. Each stage has humans wandering around an urban area and zombies start streaming in and converting people. Your job is to move rescue assets around to evacuate as many people as possible before everything is overrun. Fun game, fun sound effects, graphics are like MS Paint.
I see there’s a sequel now, too.
Not quite it but interesting in its own way.
