What to Expect From Ebbtide
Ebbtide is a real-time zombie survival strategy game that puts players in command of TF-1 "Ark"—humanity's final carrier task force. The campaign begins in Los Angeles, spanning everything from the Hollywood Hills to the Port of LA, before expanding globally.
The game stands out for several distinct tactical features:
- Seamless Operations Map: Zooming into any street turns it into a live battlefield without any loading screens.
- Dynamic Simulation: There are no separate missions or hidden auto-resolves. Every casualty and destroyed building directly impacts the broader map.
- Intricate Supply Lines: Units require continuous ammunition, fuel, and building materials. The zombie horde actively hunts convoys and disrupts supply roads, requiring players to secure forward operating bases and protect supply routes.
- Heavy Firepower: Players can deploy M777 howitzers, HIMARS rockets, carrier-based aircraft like F/A-18s and F-35Bs, and AC-130J gunships to push back the horde.
