I can’t inform you how or why Plants Vs. Zombies – that verdant tower defence factor – turned an area shooter. It appears to have labored out nicely for Popcap, no less than – particularly contemplating that older factor was this mobile monstrosity. I’m positive these shooters they maintain making are good.
Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville was introduced as we speak. It appears fairly nifty, isn’t packed to the brim with cell skinner field nonsense, and – most significantly – is out as we speak.
It’s been not-so-quietly lurking for the final 12 months now, however Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville was formally introduced, and launched, earlier as we speak on Origin. There’s loads happening, right here, so I’ll allow you to check out some gameplay first.
I’m notably into this entire staff class jam, the place you and two mates morph into one absolute unit. The Plants one appears nicely good – one in every of you will get to stomp about as a large murderous tree-stump, whereas two acorns run about your head like gun-toting tree dandruff.
There’s nonetheless the standard 24-player staff combat stuff, however I suppose Plants vs Zombies is now gunning for Destiny 2‘s crown? There’s an enormous world map stuffed with whimsical places like Dave Manor, Mount Steep and, uh… Town Center. Outrageous stuff. This map is affected by social hubs for dressing up in, PvE horde mode spots, and new co-op free roam areas for operating quests in with pals.
Interested? Lucky you, then, that Battle For Neighborville has simply gone stay. Blimey. Picking up the Founder’s Edition for £25/$30 nets you entry as we speak, 6 weeks forward of launch. Over that month-and-a-half, Popcap will roll out PvP arenas, open-world zones, lessons and new modes on a weekly schedule.
