PayPalRespect The Horde mixes together survival, tower defense and horde games to interesting effect - and now it has a Native Linux playtest. Originally written about here on GamingOnLinux back in earlier September, it's improving rapidly.
In Respect the Horde, survival is about using the horde's predictable behaviour against it. Build barriers to redirect its path, lure zombies where you want them, and funnel entire crowds into barbed wire, fire and deadly traps. Explore abandoned locations for weapons, equipment and resources. Decide where to make your stand, then turn the environment into a defensive setup built to handle hundreds of infected at once.
See the original trailer below:
