Zombie Busters: Last Stand

"Zombie Busters" is a top-down survival shooter where players navigate through waves of zombies using a virtual joystick. Players do not manually shoot; instead, the character automatically targets nearby enemies, allowing the player to focus on movement, strategy, and survival. The game emphasizes fast-paced action, crowd management, and character growth through upgrades and weapon enhancements. Players collect coins and crystals by defeating enemies and picking up items, which can be used to improve weapons, unlock new abilities, and enhance overall survivability. Core Gameplay
