comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: There are Victory Points milestones rewarding each side at determined amounts. The game tends to snowball in favor of whoever reaches theirs first (the tech tree for the player, increased amount and virulence of zombie invasions for the zeds). |

Diminishing Returns for Balance: Upgrading the same asset repeatedly costs more tech points and the improvement is smaller each time. Mercenaries with more than one stat also suffer from this if you raise one high enough. |

Save Scumming |
| | Atom Zombie Smasher (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f |
comment |
Save Scumming: Your game saves every time you win, lose, or concede a level, making it impossible to 'undo' an action. Unless you realize that, as noted here, your savegames are saved in the App Data folder. Amazing how much Fake Difficulty can vanish when you can Set Right What Once Went Wrong? While you can restart a mission, the permadeath option prevents you from doing so. However, there's an exploit (save the game via the menu) that bypasses this no-restart restriction. |

Luck-Based Mission: The random unit lineup and level generation sometimes results in cities that are very hard to clear (though it's hard to find an outright impossible mission). Level-4 outbreaks are a different beast entirely, and one might want to stay away from them until weather and roster are ideal. |

Alternate History |
| | Atom Zombie Smasher (Video Game) / int_a86069f |
comment |
Alternate History: It's 1961, electrical computers have been around for decades, and you were trained in orbit. The Zedpedia is almost too seamless to look like alternate history, but one of its fake references slipped up and calls an European city by its real name. |

Giant Mook: Arriving later on in the game, they are essentially Bosses in Mook Clothing. Only explosive damage can harm them. |

comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: This game is in love with this trope. The entire soundtrack is super-cheery beach music, perfect for blowing up cities and watching little dots get eaten by Zeds to. |

Pyrrhic Victory |
| | Atom Zombie Smasher (Video Game) / int_ad9fbc1e |
comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: Rescuing just the minimum amount of civilians required will often result on the zeds outscoring the player on that mission, even though it was "won"note Should you lose and/or concede defeat properly, though, your mercs will not earn any experience. On the late game, not scoring a huge amount of points can feel like this because the zeds will catch up quickly thanks to them infecting territories for free each turn. |

Too Dumb to Live |
| | Atom Zombie Smasher (Video Game) / int_b58b4e3c |
comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Some civilians decide to run straight into the attacking zombies instead of to the helicopter 20 feet away. A news post at Blendogames's website describes how civilians run either A) Towards the helicopter, or B) Away from the nearest zombie, and in both cases ignoring whatever might be in the way, because they are scared shitless. |

Video Game Cruelty Potential |
| | Atom Zombie Smasher (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4 |
comment |
Videogame Cruelty Potential: Accidentally (and "accidentally") blowing up civilians close to the zombies is not infrequent. The nature of the game also means choosing which civilians to evacuate, and which become zombie fodder. The author has stated that putting the player in a position of making difficult decisions is part of the design. You can accidentally blow up your snipers or infantry, too. They get better. |
