Studio Jogamedev recently released the strategy game Zombies Aren't Real on PC on Steam. The developers offer players the chance to deploy military forces to stop the rapidly spreading zombie infection and save as many civilians as possible.
Players will observe what is happening in the city from above and will have time to prepare for defense. If the zombie horde breaches the defensive perimeter, bombers and helicopters with machine guns can be used to hold back the onslaught:
As soon as you are ready — the chaos begins. Zombies will scatter and start infecting the population. You can adjust your plan on the fly. If zombies breach your perimeter, you can call in air support to try and stop the infection before the situation gets out of hand.
If a player in Zombies Aren't Real manages to destroy all the zombies, they are awarded a victory, and the score depends on how many civilians they managed to save.
The game is currently in “Early Access,” and the developers plan to release the full 1.0 version in the first quarter of 2027. The current version includes missions in different cities and supports the Steam Workshop — fan-made maps can be used for gameplay; for example, modders have already added London, Berlin, Moscow, and Tokyo.
The page for Zombies Aren't Real on Steam is available at the following link. Early reviews are “overwhelmingly positive,” and the peak concurrent player count exceeded 7,000 players.
