About The Virus: Zombie Hunter
Dive into a world overrun by the zombie infection and become the ultimate zombie hunter in The Virus: Zombie Hunter. Prepare for hordes of infected, plenty of shootouts, and don't forget to plan your next move carefully. As one of the survivors, you follow the trail of your lost family while trying to uncover the origin of the infection so you can get the antidote. Work your way through a gripping story, upgrade your camp and buy new weapons and special inventions that make each mission easier. EARLY ACCESS The game is currently available in Early Access, meaning it is fully functional and all core gameplay mechanics are ready to try. The only limitation is the amount of content, which will be expanded gradually. In the current version you can play 5 of the 11 story missions, try 2 of the 3 planned levels of the wave mode (with 2 changing maps) and choose from 70 items available for purchase. Your feedback during this phase helps us improve and expand the game. Thank you for joining us on this journey! VARIED MISSIONS Complete mission objectives your way. If you like action, charge into the horde and cut them down by the dozen. Prefer a slower approach? Then take the infected out one at a time. Missions play out in varied environments, from the countryside to the city. Collect loot hidden across the maps, earn in-game currency by completing side objectives, and see every mission through. A STORY WORTH FOLLOWING A compelling story about a survivor who lost his family in the first days of the outbreak and set out to find them with the help of others. There is a second thread too: find out as much as you can about the virus that turns people into zombies, and try to get hold of the antidote. THE BASE Your refuge is a former military base where survivors gathered to stay relatively safe from the infected. Meet the other survivors, buy equipment and upgrade the shops for better weapons and inventions. Head out on missions, but watch out — the fuel supply is not endless! WEAPONS Use a wide range of weapons to fight the zombies. Choose from plenty of melee weapons and firearms. You will also have grenades, mines and stationary machine guns at your disposal. If things go well, Hank will build you special inventions that lure the infected away so they don't come straight for you. If you take a beating in combat, or just want a boost from an elixir, visit the field hospital — they will gladly kit you out for the missions ahead. ZOMBIE WAVES If you get tired of story objectives, try another kind of mission: Zombie Waves, which are procedurally generated. They unlock as you progress through the story and you get a new one every day. The point is to thin out the infected in a given area. Complete the mission and you will be rewarded generously. But be warned — it will not be a walk in the park! SCAVENGERS Recruit scavengers, train them and send them out on all kinds of missions. Every scavenger has their own traits and experience, which decide how well the mission goes and how much loot they bring back. So give it a try, send scavengers out and collect the spoils! Choose their missions carefully though — a scavenger might not come back. Step into the fight for survival, become a hero and save the world from the infection!
