I've been wondering, how many real-time strategy games are there of zombies? I know there's Rebuild and all that, but what about real-time? I'd be fine with playing as the humans or the zombies

Project Zomboid...but buy at your own risk right now.

[Tilla]

Zomboid isn't an RTS Third Person RPG.

[nenjin]

There's hardly enough difference to qualify. If Zomboid had base building, we'd be calling it a zombie RTS with RPG features.

Atomic Zombies Smasher. Retro-futuristic (60s future, which is rare) zombocalypse sim set in Latin America. You try to evacuate civilians and/or kill the zombies with a small number of units you get. Pretty fun, but costs money. review
Shattered Colony. gather resources and survivors, build towers, kill zombies. Free. And not a tower defense game, those you can find on your own.

Can you get more units? Is the emphasis on character "development" or on resource gathering?

You will only play yourself. But there is a lot of "resource gathering" in the sense you need food, ammo, materials to barricade your home, and a lot of other sundries like medication, pain killers, sheets to make into bandages, and all sorts of combined item creation stuff I never got around to. PZ isn't a game about living though, it's a game about dying, so if you're looking for a game that will let you comfortably turtle up....this isn't one of them.

I suppose you could try Fort Zombie too, but if I'm stretching to describe PZ as an RTS....and I'm tearing myself in two to call Fort Zombie an RTS.

I can't think of a zombie game off the top of my head that is literally a blend of Zombies and Command & Conquer. I'm not sure it's been made yet AZM to me was more like an arcade game gone mad.

Closest I can remember seeing is Attack of the Paper zombies, though it's more RTT than RTS.

There's also a few fantasy-RTS games that have undead factions, but most of those aren't really 'zombie' like (i.e. lots and lots and lots of them ). Of those, the closest to it I've personally played is Heroes of Annihilated Empires.

This is pretty good, it doesn't feature base building, but you gather "places" by clearing out zombies, recruiting survivors, and using builders to push them into your place.

Sorry bro, that's turn based

Derp I just remembered the existence of Atom Zombie Smasher. It's kind of an RTS! There's not really any base building but otherwise it's very RTS-y.

So... real time Cataclysm with graphics? That's an pretty much a survival-RPG (Unreal World and Robinson's Requiem are good non-zombie examples of the genre).

I'm fine with no base-building. It seems fun, I'll look at it.

Correct. Zomboid is a survival RPG

Do so; I got it when it was in the HIB and regret nothing. Although it is honestly more of a TD game than RTS, as snipers are restricted to moving around the rooftop where you placed them, arty is immobile once placed, infantry can only move on streets and parks, and everything else apart from the evac heli falls under static defenses (mines, barriers, etc.). Still very fun though, and the concept is well executed.

Played that demo, it was quite fun. I may or may not get it, I'll look into the modding community next
