In Return Of The Zombie King, players are thrust into a grim medieval world as a deposed monarch, left for dead and dismembered in a swamp. The core gameplay loop revolves around a unique runner and platformer experience where you must collect gold to buy back your missing body parts.

Starting with nothing, not even eyes or legs, your limited life force propels you forward in a desperate bid to reclaim your kingdom and your form.

Each body part you purchase restores a sense or ability. Buying eyes grants color vision, while acquiring ears allows you to hear the world around you.

To progress further and survive longer, you'll need to invest your hard-earned gold into extending your health meter and other vital upgrades. This intriguing mechanic ensures that every piece of gold collected directly contributes to your character's progression and survival.
