Overview
Zombie Panic is a unique strategy-puzzle game developed and published by Kent Higashino. Released on August 28, 2026, this title blends casual gameplay with strategic depth, challenging players to manage and grow both human and zombie populations. The core loop involves merging buildings to expand facilities, which in turn influences the growth of your populations. Success hinges on careful planning and risk assessment, as a larger zombie horde offers greater rewards but also presents a significant control challenge.
Highlights
- Strategic Merging Mechanics: Players merge buildings to upgrade facilities, impacting production and population growth. The placement and upgrade path of these facilities are entirely up to the player's strategic choices.
- Risk vs. Reward Gameplay: Grow the zombie population for potentially larger rewards upon elimination, but beware of letting them multiply too much, which can lead to a loss of control over the game board.
- Special Summon Mechanic: Merging two maximum-level facilities triggers the summoning of a special girl, adding a unique objective and incentive for players to reach the highest upgrade tiers.
