Aliens vs Zombies: Invasion

Active defence, not passive tower watching

Aliens vs Zombies: Invasion is a strategy game for players who want to manage a defence while staying directly involved in the action. You control a flying saucer, move around the battlefield, consume objects for resources, and use what you collect to build and improve cannons against incoming zombie waves. It suits players who like tower defence but want more to do than place structures and wait.

Two jobs to balance

The game’s central loop combines movement with base management. Your saucer gathers the resources needed for construction, while your defensive cannons handle the advancing threat. That creates a constant choice: spend time collecting, or return to protecting the area before the next wave becomes difficult to contain.

• Fly around the map and devour objects to gather resources.
• Place cannons where they can cover important approaches.
• Upgrade your defences as the invasion develops.
• Improve the saucer separately to support different play styles.

Short decisions under pressure

Aliens vs Zombies: Invasion is built around a clear move, consume, build and defend rhythm. Resource positions matter, and cannon placement is more than a routine upgrade screen: it determines how well your base can respond while you are away gathering. The flying saucer also gives the game a more active feel than conventional tower defence, with positioning and timing affecting each encounter.
