Shambling Again For Brains
Plants vs. Zombies™ 3 (also known as pvz 3) is a tower defense game developed by PopCap Games and published by Electronic Arts. The strategy game retains the core mechanics of placing weaponized plants and defending the base from hordes of special zombies.
From Sleazy To General Audience
PopCap Games is a Seattle-based video game development company. Before their initial success, they were once incorporated with the name “Sexy Action Cool” and their first game title was “Foxy Poker”. Their first attempt was to capitalize strip poker with a sleazy branding. After re-branding as PopCap Games, their next target market was “general consumers”. The best description of most PopCap Games titles is simple, casual and addicting. Some of their other best game titles are Bejeweled, Bookworm, Feeding Frenzy, Insaniquarium, Peggle and Zuma’s Revenge. PopCap Games expanded by purchasing game developers and hosting a collection of arcade games for computers. Electronic Arts acquired PopCap Games in 2011.
Tried And Tested Game Series
Plants vs. Zombies has been a winner of more than 30 game awards for its vast contents and engaging gameplay. The game was first released in 2009 for Windows and Mac. The game has the same hook of Angry Birds with their fresh gameplay at that time. Players would spend hours for the right strategy whenever they encounter a very frustrating but challenging level. Beginners can grasp the gameplay while introducing new mechanics along the way. Players can also take a break from the hectic tower defense through the minigames, puzzles, survival mode and Zen Garden. The basic premise of Plants vs. Zombies is repelling waves of the hostile undead from the garden. Players collect sunlight from plants and summon more defensive plants in the garden. Each level has different challenges like terrains, day-night cycles, and boss fights. The charming gameplay, whimsical premise, likable characters and the recognizable music video “Zombies on Your Lawn” made Plants vs. Zombies a classic hit among gamers. Its success leads to the development of mobile sequels and console spin-offs such as Plants vs Zombies 2 and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare.
Third Installment Of The Zombie Tower Defense
The third game features newly-revamped visuals in 3D but retaining the game mechanics. The screen is oriented from the usual landscape to portrait. Progression takes place through a linear map. Players can expect plants from the previous sequels. The sunflower automatically gathers the sunlight and there is no need to plant in the field. There are also three options like feeding the sunflower, moving a plant or removing it from the field. Each plant can be upgraded once the power-up replenishes. Power-ups give plants a variety of effects. Players are rated at the end of the level depending on their zombie-slaying efficiency and defensive fortifications. They also earn Pinata slots as packs of rewards.
Lawn Zombies Beware!
Plants vs. Zombies™ 3 brings back the classic zombie tower defense after years of waiting. It retains the same gameplay in new visuals. The game mechanics are also modernized for easier gameplay and accommodating new fans. Players still hope that the third installment is not very dependent on microtransactions.
