About the game
What you do in a play session
In DCeased: Gotham City Outbreak, Gotham’s streets become a battleground where the last line of defense is the uninfected heroes. The game brings the classic Zombicide mechanics into a streamlined, DC‑themed format. Each player controls a DC character with unique powers—from Batman to Spider‑Man—and must use those super‑abilities to the fullest to defeat hordes of zombies and heroes corrupted by Darkseid’s Anti‑Life. The modular board can be set up as standalone missions or as part of a larger campaign, letting players dive into different Gotham stories. Gameplay is cooperative, but there’s also a solo option where you face the threat alone, testing tactics and endurance. Components are simple: standees instead of miniatures, a modular board, and health tokens that replace traditional hit‑point counters. The game captures the horror‑action vibe of comic books with vivid artwork and easy‑to‑learn rules that still demand tactical thinking to survive the undead waves. If you love heroes, zombies, and a good cooperative challenge, DCeased: Gotham City Outbreak is a solid pick to test your team.
