Cultivate and grow your own breed of zombies with Doctor Evil at the helm and lead your army to the road to riches by fighting villagers and other humans in various towns and steal their gold.
In Kingdom of Zombies, you play the cretinous role of Doctor Evil, a sinister scientist and agriculturalist who harvests his own zombies on his farm, which doubles as his laboratory. Interestingly enough, if you don’t take care of and supervise your farm often, the new grown zombies will die in the hostile hands of villagers within a matter of minutes. It’s also important to keep their morale at a reasonable level (with “excited” being one of the higher levels) so they will be more effective when they fight.
Once the they have matured and grown, Doctor Evil will utilize his legion of zombies for naturally criminal purposes by invading towns, slaying angry villagers, knights and whomever else might stand in your way, and looting each town and stealing their valuable gold and crystals. Win or loss, you will earn coins and crystals every time you engage in a battle. You cannot advance until you have defeated all the defenders in each level. To get through levels faster, you can make your zombies more effective in combat by upgrading certain attributes such as rarity (to obtain higher-level, less commonly grown zombies more often), attack level and profit gain.
Doctor Evil will not rest until he and his undead army steal gold from every town and island. This game has multiple island maps for you to conquer such as Death Island and Frozen Island and more features including a slot machine game to earn more coins and crystals, daily tasks and the ability to invite friends via Facebook and Twitter to play.
Kingdom of Zombies has the same fun appeal to users of all ages as an RPG game like Plants Vs. Zombies with its simple and animated interface, quirky, funny-looking, miniature characters and light cartoon violence. There are not a lot of games where the user plays as the main antagonist of the game, who is Doctor Evil in this case. Some of the other games where you can play as the bad guy include Shadow The Hedgehog and Batman: Arkham Asylum. The difference between those games and this one is that the two other games have alternate storylines for the hero and the villain, while this game does not.
It would be an interesting addition if the player had the option to play as one of the defending leaders like Black Heart King to defend his kingdom from Doctor Evil and his minions. The one element that impressed me the most in Kingdom of Zombies were how clever the developers are in getting users to play more often with the game automatically killing zombies if they are not tend to immediately once they pop out of the ground. For those of you who were born in the 90s, it is similar to taking care of a Tamagotchi digital pet; they will die if you neglect them.
