Global Outbreak: Doomsday Edition combines Real-Time Strategy and Top-Down Shooter in a unique and exciting package. Fight back the infection from above on the tactical globe, and then send in your troops to battle off the infected on the ground and destroy the devastating “Zompods” that are spreading the mutant plague throughout the world.
Strategic Global Gameplay
The globe provides the central HUB of the game where you make your vital tactical decisions. To control the infection you must build "Outposts" in key locations. Using a variety of different air units and turret installations, you will manage the global infection from the air, and transport in troops to tackle the infection on the ground.
Intense Close Quarters Top-Down Shooter
Fighting from the Air will only get you so far, you will need to get boots on the ground to truly defeat the deadly virus!
Build up a roster of soldiers and deploy them in a variety of locations. As they gain experience from ground missions they will turn from new recruits into elite mercenaries by levelling up their various skills. Take your men from campaign to campaign, building up an army of ultimate warriors to fight the infection.
Increase your firepower by unlocking new weapons and researching and immense ranges of upgrades in the extensive research tree.
