Player-Survivors use realistic pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, and assault rifles to kill hordes of zombies throughout the game chainsaws, machetes, axes, and baseball bats can be used in frenetic close-quarter combat (i.e., melee attacks).
Groups of one-to-four players (i.e., the 'Survivors') work cooperatively to battle the 'Infected' zombies and reach safehouses at the end of each round/chapter. Infected zombie-like creatures roam the bayous, backwoods, streets, and parishes of a distinctly Southern United States in this first-person shooter set in the aftermath of apocalyptic pandemic.
