The Desert Isn’t Your Friend
It’s bad enough when zombies show up in your backyard. It’s worse when they follow you into the desert — a place where the ground cracks under your feet, the sun stabs at your eyes, and the air feels like it’s been preheated in an oven. There’s no lush green lawn here. Just sand, dust, and heat shimmering on the horizon. And in that shimmering? Figures. Shuffling. Coming closer.
Plants With Attitude
The plants you’ve brought aren’t your average garden variety. They’re sun-hardened, grit-covered, and ready to throw down. Some spit cactus needles instead of peas. Others bloom with explosive seeds that burst like tiny sand grenades. You’ll need to pick your lineup carefully — water-loving plants wilt here, while desert-adapted ones thrive under the relentless sun. The wrong choice, and your defense will crumble faster than a sandcastle in a dust storm.
Zombies Who Dress for the Weather
They’re not the slow, clueless undead you remember. These zombies have adapted to the desert. Wide hats shield them from the sun. Scarves cover their cracked, dusty faces. Some even ride skeletal camels, trotting over your defenses with unnerving speed. And then there are the worst ones — the ones that burrow under the sand, popping up behind your plants when you least expect it.
The Sun Economy Is Different Here
In the suburbs, you could rely on a steady drizzle of sunlight for your sunflowers to soak up. Here? The sun is abundant, but the heat makes it tricky. Sun drops are more frequent but disappear faster, forcing you to be quick with your clicks. You’ll be balancing your economy with the constant pressure of enemies that seem to come from every angle.
Hazards That Play Favorites
The desert itself doesn’t care about your strategy. Sandstorms sweep across the board, temporarily blinding plants and pushing zombies forward a few steps. Random patches of cracked ground can’t hold plants, forcing you to plan around them. And in some levels, the heat ramps up so much that your weaker plants literally shrivel unless shaded by taller ones.
Moments That Catch You Off Guard
Sometimes you’re in control, with neat rows of armed plants mowing down anything that moves. Then — a camel-riding zombie barrels through a lane you thought was safe. Or a sandstorm clears, and suddenly you realize a burrower has been gnawing on your back row. These moments keep you on edge, making every wave feel like it could be your last.
Why It’s Hard to Walk Away
Every round in the desert feels like a puzzle you almost have figured out. You swap plants, adjust your setup, and try again — convinced this time you’ve got the perfect defense. And when it works, when the last zombie crumbles into the sand, you feel like you’ve tamed the wild. Until the next level, when the desert shows you it’s got a few more tricks.
