Zombie vs. AI Witch

Zombie vs. AI Witch is a single-player tower defense and real-time strategy game developed by IndieForge Studios, released in 2022. The game pits a player-controlled horde of zombies against an artificially intelligent witch who defends a central crystal. The objective is to destroy the witch’s crystal before the witch eliminates all zombie units. The game features a top-down perspective, procedurally generated maps, and a resource system based on collecting brains from fallen enemies. The witch employs adaptive AI, learning from player tactics and adjusting her spell patterns accordingly.

Gameplay is divided into two phases: preparation and assault. During preparation, the player spends brains to spawn zombie types: Grunts (melee, low cost), Spitters (ranged, medium cost), and Tanks (high health, high cost). The witch uses mana to place defensive barriers, summon minions, and cast area-of-effect spells. Controls: Mouse left-click selects units; right-click moves or attacks. Pressing 1, 2, or 3 selects all Grunts, Spitters, or Tanks respectively. Spacebar pauses the game for strategic planning. Tactical techniques: Use Grunts as a frontline to absorb spells while Spitters attack from range. Deploy Tanks to break barriers. Flanking the witch from two sides forces her AI to split defensive spells, reducing overall damage. Avoid clustering units, as the witch’s fireball spell deals splash damage. Collect brains from defeated minions to sustain unit production. The witch’s AI adapts after each wave; if the player relies on Spitters, the witch will deploy anti-ranged barriers. Rotating unit types every two waves counters this adaptation.
