The game-play revolves around scores and chaining combos.
The top left corner displays your current combo and the combo level.
The higher your combo is, the more you will score by killing.
Combo lasts for 7 seconds after each kill, failing to score another kill within 7 seconds will end your combo chain.
Your team-mate can contribute to chaining your combos, a great team-work will result to a more satisfying combo.
Currently, there are 2 game-modes available.
Survival Mode, and Versus Mode.
Survival is a PvM Arcade game, on where you will fight hordes of zombies alone, or together with a team.
Versus is a semi-PvP game, on where you fight in a team of 2v2, or 1v1v1v1, there will be half zombie count in this game, and the team who scores the most within the time limit wins. While normal enemies won't drop item supplies, in this mode, each team are expected to fight for the supply drops that are signaled every 3 minutes. In versus mode, each member are given the option to choose different classes of mercenary soldiers.

In both of game modes, players are tested with a "Night Time", on where the horrors of the zombies are at its peaks.
Zombies are highly more aggressive during Night Time, not only that, player's visions are limited to the amount of "Light Sources" available in the middle of a deserted village.
In Night Time, this is where each team is tested to the end of their wits, whether or not the team will survive to see the next sunrise, depends on the team-work of all members of the team.
Some item may provide light-sources, such as Flashlight, Grenades, and Signal Flares. You can also provide light by using the muzzle of your guns, it is recommended to stay together as a team in Night times, to ensure the safety of your back.
The main weapon can be switched into 3 different modes :
Rapid Mode - High rate of fire, accuracy falls as you keep shooting. Consumes 1 ammo.
Burst Mode - Spread fire, while slow, it deals high fire power to enemies which are close. Extremely effective against big targets. Consumes 4 ammo.
Sniper Mode - A high precision mode, deals high damage, and accurate targeting. Consumes 3 ammo.
Each mode have different statistics and targeting system.
Each mode has different piercing and damage, piercing indicates how much enemies or walls you could pierce through, and will stop when piercing reaches 0.
Piercing reduces damage and critical rate of your bullet.
Reloading, spam the reload click button to increase reload speed (How fast reload is depends on your clicking speed or hot-key spamming speed.)
Movement is disabled during reload, but you can cancel reload any-time.
There are 4 combo strikes in melee combat, with its own specialty.
You can change direction within each combo, or freely move, as the unit is not paused on melee animations.
1 is a Frontal Stab, while leaping forward (Within 2.3 second of casting this, pressing melee again will cause you to go into 2nd combo strike)
2 is a Slash, leaps a "little" forward, while slashing enemy, wide area, but lower range compared to stab. (Within 2.1 second after casting this, pressing again leads to 3rd Combo strike).
3 is a double stab, doesn't leap, but takes one step forward, deals damage twice if striked twice by the tip of the weapon. (Within 1.1 second of casting this, pressing again leads to 4th combo strike).
4 is the same as 3, but cooldown a 5 second cooldown is triggered.
if you didn't cast another melee hit within 2 second, the combo reverts into its 1st combo strike.
Various item can be stacked and combined!
Items are dropped by enemies or special zombies, and some spawn by events or supply jets.
Some item can be stacked by right clicking on one, and right clicking on the other of the same type, there are different stack limit for items.
Some items can be "Combined" !, By right-clicking on one item with the other, Experiment on to find more combinations!.
Example :
(As many Resident Evil fans knows) Green Herb + Green Herb = GG Herb Green Herb + Red Herb = GR Herb
and many more!.
Each objects can be used to its own advantage, such as bouncing grenades with walls, jumping through sandbags/windows, shattering Molotov glass to bricks/walls.
