Has anyone made a zombie game where you actually clear/retake an infested city? Lots of games have you raid a city to build a base somewhere else, (7D2D, unturned, now Vein, etc.) or just do things in an infested city (Dying Light, RE, etc.) sometimes culminating in some sort of big climax that results in or implies the end of the zombie times, or maybe you just leave, but are there any that have that element of progression where you slowly take more of the map and the zombies aren’t just randomly spawned in a radius around the player regardless of how many you knock down? The closest I have ever found was an old flash game from when those were a thing, based around worker placement and resource management.
There’s the Rebirth mod available for 7 Days to Die, which has a Purge varient where you have to clear the remaining zombies from all the POI’s. Ramsay recently released the 2.0 version, which I haven’t tried, but should be updated for all the changes that have been made to the vanilla game.
