This is pure undead carnage mixed with satire, explosive sandbox fun, and brutal, janky brilliance.

Whether you're dropkicking a corpse across the room or turning crowds into flying zombies with a grenade, AOTD is designed to make every encounter feel fun, violent, and stupidly satisfying.
Kill zombies, Watch them fly 200 meters, Get points, Spend it on insane weapons, perks, and nonsense machines, Repeat until you’re the god of moshpit madness.
