There are four playable classes for each the Zombies and Plants factions, each with its own set of unique abilities and variants.įor the Plants, there are the heavy hitting Peashooters and sniping Cacti, the Sunflower medic and the melee brute known as the Chomper. All of the modes are competitive or co-op based, reliant on EA's own servers, and players evolve their playable characters by completing challenges. We should state up front that Garden Warfare features no single player mode, nor does it use the traditional system of collecting experience points for progression.
The stickers are a smart idea to keep players feeling rewarded, and continuously offering secondary goals to strive for, and there are a lot of character customization options to unlock.
Everything players accomplish earns them in-game credits dubbed PvZ coins that can be spent on Stickers and it's these collectible items - that you can track in your Stickerbook - that provide the consumables used in the game's multiplayer modes, vanity items to dress up characters, alternate versions of characters and buffs for their abilities. There are no microtransactions in the game yet, but it's clearly designed with that in mind. Zombies: Garden Warfare is a simple game, designed like its mobile/social predecessors with easy controls, easy goals and an addictive progression system for all audiences. Does Garden Warfare earn its franchise name and does it deserve a spot in your game collection? Read on for our review. Zombies: Garden Warfare represents a major expansion of the stylish franchise that maintains a few tower defense elements from its roots and blends it with third-person shooter gameplay. Using that brand power, PopCap and publisher Electronic Arts made the surprising unveiling last summer at E3 when they opened their press conference with Battlefield theme music, but using it to tease a third-person PvZ action game. Zombies by PopCap Games and its 2013 followup are some of the most popular casual games of all-time, taking the simple tower defense formula and infusing it with personality and charm like none other.
