This game mode, of course, mirrors similar horde-based modes in games from Gears of War to the more recent Overwatch PvE (player versus environment) modes. Once the plants have defeated the final wave, they must escape to an extraction point and survive until the clock hits zero. Furthermore, as players can choose their plant-based class, gameplay offers a large variety of opportunities. Here, the gameplay stays fresh with “boss waves” whereby a slot machine spawns different boss zombies and rewards players with coins. And, as if that wasn’t enough, players can find Flower Pots and Bone Piles around each multiplayer map in which they can place defensive turrets to further support their team, harking back to the series’ origins.Ĭooperative play offers “Garden Ops”, a game mode whereby four players take control of the Plants in order to defend their garden from waves of invading zombies. Each of these classes has three unique abilities, be it launching area of effect attacks or burrowing underground, which provides that extra punch to spice up the gameplay. The Peashooter and Foot Soldier are the standard ranged grunts the Chomper and the All-Star engage in close-combat the Cacti fight at range while the Sunflower, Scientist and Engineer support their teams in the fight to victory.
