Following a successful Kickstarter run, Greenbrier Games is set to release their second core title in the Zpocalypse series this March. In Zpocalypse 2: Defend the Burbs, two to five players will face off against suddenly mutating zombies as they explore a story based campaign in cooperative or head to head scenarios. Can your squads of survivors hold out against the undead horde or will they join the ranks of the flesh eaters? Designed for players ages 14 and up, the game will carry an MSRP of $59.95.
From Greenbrier:
The cities have fallen. Nuclear ash hangs heavy in the air. Suburbia, once the pinnacle of the American dream, is now the bloody battleground of the apocalypse. But how long can the white picket fences hold back the horde? The undead are changing, mutating into horrific abominations. Will you rely on kitchen appliances and garden tools to fend off the monsters, or embrace a few mutations of your own?
Defend the ‘Burbs features a four-part campaign, with each chapter taking 90-120 minutes to complete. Throughout the story, your survivors will need to find a defensible home in the suburbs, and protect it from an undead onslaught every night. While the sun is up, those same survivors will need to be assigned to tasks: Search for supplies with choose-your-path scavenging missions, build fortifications using the crafting system, patrol for daytime stragglers, or even get some much needed rest. But beware – every choice you make during the day determines how many zombies will come a’ knockin’ when the sun goes down.
