About Samurai vs. Zombies Defense
Players are challenged to assume the role of the Samurai Hero, protecting his
village's sacred gate against a horde of zombies and ancient Japanese demons
thirsting for its sacred powers. The Samurai Hero's unique magical abilities
along with traditional weapons like the katana and bow will be used to defend
the village gate against wave after wave of enemies. As the zombies and demons
attack, the Samurai Hero can summon village helpers to aid him in battle, with
more powerful helpers joining the fight as the game progresses. Through each
wave of zombie attacks, players earn coins and gems, allowing them to upgrade
their hero, weapons, troops and abilities.
