Introduction to Plants vs Zombies
Players step into the role of a homeowner. They defend a yard from creeping zombies. They choose pea shooters and wall nuts to block paths or mushrooms to slow enemies. Each plant costs sunlight. Players collect sunlight from sunflowers or falling beams. This challenge feels fresh at first, but it demands sharp timing.
A round begins each morning with a grid of soil patches. Players place defenses across the lawn. Zombies march toward the front door in rows. Night brings dense fog, and parts of the yard vanish in gloom. Water pools force a swap to aquatic plant types. Climbing foes appear on the roof. Each wave pushes players to rethink layouts and conserve sunlight.
Cartoon art gives each plant a distinct shape. A soundtrack plays through every challenge. Absurd zombie designs and bright plants create a playful scene. Sequels followed and spin-off titles arrived over several years. Players still arrange peas and sunflowers in each new release.
