Zombie Waves

Zombie Waves is a portrait-oriented, intense zombie shooter where players run and shoot waves of enemies. The core gameplay loop involves upgrading weapons and characters to survive increasingly difficult levels. Players often cite the high grind and pay-to-win elements as significant drawbacks, despite the game's otherwise fun and addictive nature.
