Dead Army – Radio Frequency (v1.5)

An undead horde becomes the weapon in a compact real-time strategy campaign built around overrunning defended human territory. Dead Army – Radio Frequency casts you as the commander of zombies attacking military outposts, isolated settlements, and service-station strongholds packed with armed soldiers and law enforcement. Its mood is grim but more tactical than horrific: success depends less on brute force than on directing a vulnerable, expanding mass through gunfire and defensive positions. Rather than holding the line like a traditional tower-defense game, you are the invading force trying to break it.

Each mission starts with a set number of undead, and you issue orders to individual zombies, selected groups, or specialized squads through keyboard shortcuts. The basic loop involves advancing on enemy positions, choosing targets, managing health, and infecting humans to swell your ranks as resistance intensifies. Objectives are not limited to eliminating every defender; some scenarios ask you to collect resources or keep a key hero alive while the battlefield grows more dangerous. Early stages explain the controls, while later maps add fresh human threats and stronger zombie types with their own tactical uses, encouraging you to rethink formations rather than simply sending everyone forward.

What gives the game its identity is the reversal of familiar zombie-survival rules: soldiers are the entrenched defenders, while the undead must exploit numbers, infection, and careful unit control. Visible health bars make engagements easier to read, and the ability to isolate one zombie or organize unit-type squads gives the action a more hands-on feel than a simple swarm simulator. The campaign’s changing objectives help prevent every level from becoming the same base-destruction exercise, even if its presentation and scope remain firmly indie. Players who enjoy the accessible command style of classic RTS games, the lane-pressure logic of tower defense, and zombie fiction from the aggressor’s perspective are the best fit, while strategy veterans may appreciate it most as a focused, mission-based tactical diversion.
