When we think of zombie games, we consider zombies as our enemies, someone we must kill to survive the zombiepocalypse. In Brrrainz, we’ve swapped the equation variables. You start out as a lone zombie survivor in the woods of 60s-70s Middle America looking for other undead friends who hopefully will join your horde because there’s imminent and unpredictable danger out there along your journey—humans.
Humans who range from simple farmers to hippies to businessmen to hardened soldiers can react to your horde’s coming in different ways. Some run away, others run right at you. Some are shrewd once they realize there’s an army of the undead approaching them; they will do their utmost to defend themselves and their fortifications.
There are also bosses—inspired by iconic zombie hunters and heroes from our pop culture cinema—with special and unique skillset and way of killing their arch enemies. There’s the Lumberjack who ragingly throws logs at your horde from afar. When you’re close to him, he effortlessly hacks you with his axe. The Sherriff is well respected amongst his small town community. He is an expert at shooting from his powerful magnums and compelling when it comes to rallying support from the townsfolk to fight the horde with him. Meanwhile the Exterminator is a secret government project. He is ruthless and loves to play with fire setting the horde ablaze with his massive back-mounted flamethrower. And that’s just a few of the many.
It’s important for you, as a player, to think strategically when it comes to dealing with and defeating these vicious foes. Should you go on a rampage hoping to stampede them with your numbers? Or should you give tactical commands to each individual zombie to outsmart your target? There is no all-size-fits-all!
Keep in mind that when you start off, your zombies are weak and need to be fed with human brrrainz as much as possible so they don’t lag behind your horde and eventually die. You can also collect DNA Points which allow your horde to upgrade their abilities such as speed, damage, health, and maximum number of zombies you can carry. The human enemies you kill and feed on can potentially turn in the afterlife and join your undead army, which is always a good thing—the more, the merrier!
You can’t do it alone and sometimes regular zombies aren’t strong enough. That’s why Freaks exist. They are zombies who in previous life were so powerful they carried their abilities to the afterlife. They’re very rare, however, and should be used sparingly. Our few favorites include: the Glutton, the Barbarian, and the Jester. The Glutton used to be a fry cook and would often stuff his face with food while his boss wasn’t looking. In the afterlife, his belly is full of fried food which he can vomit in a large line in front of him that slows your enemies and increases zombie movement speed. The Barbarian was once a tough and trained body builder. As a zombie, his bulky size helps him shield the smaller zombies from harm. When he’s angry, he smashes the ground wounding any enemies in his path. And lastly, the Jester is a former circus clown who got fired because his creepy costume and disturbing smile made all the children cry. His special ability is to charge towards his enemies, expand, and explode dealing massive amount of damage around him. Freaks have their own upgrade path as well.
Sincerely,
