Introduction to Flower Defense – Zombie Siege
You’ll start off with a simple patch of dirt and a handful of petals, but before you know it, you’re knee-deep in waves of shambling zombies. Flower Defense – Zombie Siege cleverly mixes garden charm with a bit of undead chaos. You plant bright blossoms that fire off sunflower seeds or sticky pollen bombs, and every time those hulking, moaning creatures shuffle forward, it’s oddly satisfying to see a spore burst right in their face.
The variety of flowers keeps things feeling fresh. There’s the basic Sun Sprout that churns out rays of light for more blooms, the Prickly Thornflower that slows any baddie within range, and my personal favorite, the Petal Blaster—a flower that fires rapid shots but needs a little sunshine caffeine break now and then. Upgrading them unlocks all kinds of new effects, like splash damage or a temporary shield that really messes with the zombie’s advance.
On the other side of the soil, the undead get more creative as you progress. You’ll face arm-clad skeletons who laugh at your flimsy little petals, tanky brutes wearing police gear, and even clumsy balloon zombies that drift in above your defenses. Night levels introduce creeping fog that hides enemies until they’re almost upon you, and frost rounds freeze your sun production, so you’ve always got to stay on your toes.
What really sells it is the pace—each level feels like its own little story. You plan your rows, watch the chaos unfold, tweak a few flowers, and suddenly that harried garden is a fortress. The cartoony art style makes it feel laid-back, even when your adrenaline is kicking in, and I’ve caught myself humming the background tune more times than I’d like to admit. It’s a blast to dive into for a quick session or lose yourself in a full zombie-smashing, flower-cultivating marathon.
