About the Game

'Queen of Zarkov' is an 'indie-3rd-person-shooter' that combines elements of 'Escape from Tarkov' with zombies.

You embark on missions and loot everything you can, while surviving against different types of zombies and other deadly threats. All your Equipment will be lost if you die, so you have to choose to play it save or risk everything to get better loot. Use the money you make to upgrade your castle and unlock better gear and new levels, and become the Queen of Zarkov.

Play how you want: Choose the location you want to enter (varied difficulties and loot quality) and how much you want to invest and risk in gear for preparation. Stay silent, snipe enemies from a distance with a silenced gun and lure enemies away with a distraction or go in loud with a heavy armor and blast everything. Try to go for one of the mission-keys for valuable loot and risk dying or leave the mission to save what you could get so far. Use 'Drone Scouting' to modify the next mission for the chance of increased loot or get unlucky and struggle with additional threats.


Features:

-over 20 different weapons with multiple attachments and levels
-randomised loot and enemies
-buy and use mission-keys to find special loot (if you can survive)
-upgrade your castle to get access to more weapons and better gear
-modify levels by activating 'Drone Scouting'
-2 additional game modes: 'endless' (survive as long as you can) and 'spec-ops' (find the antivirus while being hunted)
-collect rare 'Tech Shards' to unlock something special
-secret bonus mission
-gamble at the zombie minigame
-survive many different threats: zombies, witches, blobbers, maggots, mines, poison gas, bleeding and fog
-place mines and turrets to prepare for engagements
-choose your style with one of many hats and have fun!
