Command soldiers, survive zombie waves! A light strategy game mixing turn-based & real-time strategy, bullet hell, and backpack-like mechanics. Fit troops into limited backpack slots, build max firepower, challenge difficulty levels, and defend the last beach. Perfect for tower defense & fans.
A creative game blending Turn-Based Strategy + Bullet Hell + Backpack-Like Mechanics.
As the king of a coastal island, you will command your soldiers to defend the last beach defense in a zombie-infested apocalypse.

The game features turn-based combat, but the outcome of each round depends on how you arrange your troops in the "backpack."
Each soldier occupies a different number of grid slots:
🧙 Mage, ⚔️ Swordsman, 🛡️ Hammer-Shield Bearer, 🙏 Cleric, 💉 Doctor, 🦍 Giant, 🏴☠️ Pirate, ⚡ Lightning Mage, 🔮 Summoner, 🎺 Horn Blower, 🎣 Fisherman…
With over 12 unique soldier types, you must strategically arrange your forces within a limited grid space—just like organizing a backpack—to fend off wave after wave of zombie attacks.
When battle begins, your soldiers automatically attack, forming a dense bullet hell firing net.
Zombies surge from the beach ahead. You must allocate resources, position your troops wisely, and combine their skills to ensure your line holds.
Each wave brings deadlier enemies → testing your real-time strategy and long-term planning.

Can’t get past a wave? No problem!
Every battle earns you resources → open chests → upgrade the King and your soldiers.
The game features 8 difficulty levels:
Earn soldier shards with each run
Upgrade existing soldiers
Unlock higher-tier units
From a basic Swordsman → legendary Summoner, every step of growth is clear and rewarding.
