He brought the equipment back from the battlefield and sold it at auction, amassing enormous wealth. He was so elated that he went to the next battlefield, but he was shot by a sniper rifle and was killed. The lucky man who takes all the best equipment with a single bullet becomes a legend, but such legends are an everyday occurrence in the game "Badlanders".

Game Video: #ZOZ: Final Hour

ZOZ: Final Hour
The upcoming TPS game "ZOZ: Final Hour" was shown in a video in which the developer himself introduces its unique game system with actual game screens. Up to 15 players take on the role of mercenaries and enter the dangerous zombie-infested city of San Yagah. While defeating zombies, they collect blood crystals, the hope for the salvation of mankind. However, just because they are of the same species does not necessarily mean that they are allies. Players seeking to monopolize the Blood Crystal can also become enemies.

In addition to these PvPvE elements, the greatest feature of this game is that the game does not end when the player is defeated. In SUNYAGAR, dead mercenaries are resurrected as zombies. The goal of the game switches to hunting down the human race, and you can continue to play from a different position. The game does not end immediately when you are killed, so even those who are not good at shooter games can rest assured that they are in good hands.

ZOZ: Final Hour" will soon be available for regional testing. Please follow the various social networking accounts and wait for further updates.
