Pinball Zombies
The 'Undead Horde' is a foundational trope in game design, representing overwhelming, relentless forces often controlled by the player or faced as antagonists. In strategy and action games, it embodies resource management and attrition warfare, where individual units are weak but collectively formidable. This concept explores themes of decay, inevitability, and the subversion of life, serving as a versatile tool for creating tension, scale, and moral ambiguity in narratives, from dark fantasy to survival horror settings.
