ZomChess
A turn-based tactical chess game where you're outnumbered, outpaced, and always one bad decision away from death.
Game context: The world you know no longer exists. The disasters, both natural and man-made, have turned the Earth into a dangerous planet with unpredictable weather phenomena along with dozens of hungry zombies hunting for humans. You are a lone survivor on a battlefield with a limited arsenal and limited time. Each turn, you spend stamina to move and to attack the zombies — then they close in.
The zombies are blind, but they can feel you via your smell. They are not simply brainless walkers. Make sure you take their special abilities into account. Remember the environment is not meant to be against you, but neither your ally — it doesn't care about you or the zombies, it is unpredictable and just does what it wants. So plan every action before you commit. THERE IS NO UNDO!
Features:
- Many zombie types with different special abilities
- Many weapons and tools providing more space for your planning
- Dynamic terrain: different terrain types, and they can transform into each other, requiring you to constantly re-calculate your tactics
- Different weather phenomena: an out-of-control variable that may save you, or kill you faster.
- Different difficulty presets + fully customizable game settings
- Built-in map editor: you design custom scenarios from scratch — handcraft the terrain, place the enemies, set the conditions. Then export the map file and send it to a friend. Can they survive what you built? Can you survive what they built back?
- Survival mode: keep fighting until death, how many waves can you stand?
Every run is a puzzle. Building the map means you're also setting the trap. You will almost never play exactly the same game twice.
