Zero Survivors: The Hero Must Die

Reverse horde game combining an army you raise with one hero who levels on your kills.

How a run starts

You play the opposing side. A single hero enters, and both of you gain experience from the same fights until dawn.

What you do

You field bats, skeletons, werewolves, and other minions, spend dark powers, and capture graves so the army grows.

What carries over

One hero kill ends the night. A slain hero can return later wearing a counter to the method that killed them.
