Invasion: Brain Craving casts the player as one of the few people immune to a pathogen, while friends and family have become flesh-eating zombies. Its premise mixes bleak apocalypse with a wry tone, setting up a survival adventure in a wasteland rather than a conventional fantasy quest.
The game combines zombie combat with JRPG elements, using a traditional side-view battle system and a roster of recruitable characters. Survival also depends on keeping stamina high and teammates healthy, so the journey gives attention to the condition of the group as well as fighting. A randomly generated world offers 729 possible combinations, while random event seeds are intended to make playthroughs differ.
Its listed format is single-player, giving the player a solo journey through the outbreak, with battles, team management and changing world or event setups shaping the experience.
