Zombie Tycoon has a fun aesthetic, numerous items and a sensible control scheme. But the gameplay runs into too many problems. An overly sensitive camera, frustrating AI and a brutal lack of good checkpoints (play for ten minutes, make one small mistake and start over from scratch) make Zombie Tycoon more of a frustrating disappointment rather than an enjoyable RTS.
