About the Game

Zombie Metal Band is a dynamic Action RPG where you step into the shoes of a manager of a bizarre metal band composed of zombies! Your task isn’t just to fight off hordes of the undead but also to possess four of them and turn them into loyal members of your band.

Once successfully possessed, the band immediately starts working on a new track, but its quality depends on several key parameters: IQ level, hunger level, and their thirst for another round of booze. You can influence each of these stats using magic spells and independently develop each character.

As a manager, you must care for your undead needs and well-being, as their condition directly affects the quality of their tracks, and ultimately, your chance of topping the music charts.

You'll explore mysterious dungeons filled with artifacts and attacking zombies, armed with an axe in hand. There’s also a moonshine distillery to supply your band with life-giving alcohol and a cryptocurrency mining rig generating funds for food and further band development.

In the basement lies a magical portal leading to dungeons filled with zombies. Every defeated zombie grants you magic energy - the key to summoning obedient undead musicians.

But beware: not every zombie is a virtuoso. Some play their instruments like drunk lemurs on roller skates.

Managing such a band feels like trying to extinguish a fire with gasoline - loud, messy, and with no guarantee of success. But hey, who said building a metal band would be easy?

Your zombies, like true musicians, have long traded fresh brains for pizza and beer. Manage their diet wisely by ordering online and paying with mined cryptocurrency.

  • Pizza – A hungry zombie metalhead buzzes like a glitchy digital amp.

  • Beer – Balance is key. Too sober, and they’ll start philosophizing. Too drunk… well, they’ll start philosophizing loudly.

Remember! A hungry or thirsty zombie produces nothing but chaotic noise instead of stadium-worthy anthems.

Your cryptocurrency mining rig is the financial backbone of your band. But electricity isn't free - use your magic energy to temporarily boost its efficiency. Unfortunately, no spell can generate enough profit to cover more than electric bills and a bit of zombie chow.

Your mission? Dominate the charts, grace magazine covers, and claim your spot in metal history!

But beware: the road to stardom is full of obstacles. Especially when your guitarist's arm keeps falling off mid-solo. Suddenly, "tone from the fingers" takes on an entirely new meaning.
