Zombie swarm
About Zombie swarm
Aiming happens on its own here, with your shots tracking toward whatever the mouse is nearest, so the moment-to-moment game is about where you stand rather than how well you click. That frees up attention for the systems layered on top: perks to activate, a shop to spend in, items to craft, and downed allies to revive while the horde is still closing. Reviving somebody is the decision that most often goes wrong, since it plants you in one spot during the exact window when standing still is worst. Movement is the usual four keys or a joystick on touch.
How to Play
- Move with WASD or the arrow keys while firing happens automatically.
- Point the mouse toward the direction you want shots to favour.
- Tap the on-screen buttons to trigger perks, open the shop or craft items.
- Only revive an ally when you have room to stand still for a moment.
Zombie swarm FAQ
Should I stop to revive a downed ally?
Only when the area around you is reasonably clear. Reviving locks you in place, and since the shooting is automatic, standing still is the one thing that reliably gets you overwhelmed. A revive attempted mid-swarm usually costs two players instead of saving one.
