Game Review
Zombo Buster is the latest tower defense game brought to you by FireBeastStudio, aka the maker of Evilgeddon Spooky Max and Bois D'Arc. This time round it's about killing incoming hordes of zombies. Which involves a lot of explosions, lightning, lasers and rapid firing. Are you ready to protect Medan City from the awful zombification?
The goals are straightforward in Zombo Buster. Eliminate any zombies coming from the right trying get into the doors on the left, by leading the anti-zombie squad in groups of three... Camping in elevators! These elevators can be swapped back and forth between different floors which is required in the later part of the game. For those who find micromanaging objects isn't your thing. A quick solution would be to purchase new ones. Afterward click the walkie-talkies to call in any soldiers you can afford to hold them off. The cost of different soldiers varies slightly, as does their strengths and weaknesses. If you've got the coin to spare, you can even upgrade them to a higher tier which makes even more powerful than previous. Basically, implementing the right strategies and unit management is crucial, else you will find difficult to repel stronger and stubborn zombies.
The game is pretty unique, a kind reminiscent of Plant vs Zombies, with horizontal alignment. Overall, it's a fresh approach to the genre especially the lane-based defense gameplay felt really solid. The only downside is the difficulty/progression. After the first level or two the difficulty spikes enormously simply because of how many zombies begin swarming you. Some may find it punishing then get stuck in a matter of minutes. Firstly because the unit upgrades do not compliment the increase in difficulty, and there are a limited number of gems. You basically can't grind for upgrades... Can be pretty frustrating to some, however I see nothing wrong with a challenge. I enjoyed the game. :)
A neat game. Keep up the great work! I hope to see more soon.

Zombo Buster Walkthrough
The only effective unit in the game goes to Bombard's Squad! Thanks to its area damage, it can clear swarm of zombies quickly unlike other solo targeted units. Simple math, if there are three zombies (there are usually a lot more), and the bombard unit does 10 damage, then it does 30 damage with every hit. On the other hand, the other two units shoot only one zombie at a time. For them to keep up, they'd need to do around 30 damage in the time it takes the bombard unit to shoot once. Bombard squad is OP!
Generally, you will build as many Bombards as possible, until all the elevators are full. Slowly and steady upgrade them until you have 2 Chief Stun and 1 Repulsor in each elevator. This will work with all stages, only if you follow my recommended build above! Else, you can also try 1 Bombard and 2 Agents. They are good except for the last stage. ;)
Pro-Tip: Clicking a zombie lowers its health a small bit. Get an auto clicker from the internet to click 100 times a second and bosses are a cakewalk.
