This week on Critical Arcade, Dave and Nick swap out shotguns and swords for watering cans and fertilizer as they take on the quirky, strategic chaos of Plants vs Zombies. Released in 2009, this tower defense classic turns your backyard into the frontline of the undead apocalypse, where survival depends less on firepower and more on creative landscaping. The duo must carefully balance planting sunflowers for resources while deploying an army of quirky plants—from pea shooters and wall-nuts to potato mines and cherry bombs—all in an effort to keep the relentless zombie horde from breaking through their defenses.
But these aren’t your run-of-the-mill zombies. No, these shambling invaders come equipped with screen doors, buckets, pogo sticks, and even dolphin mounts to make things extra weird. And just when Dave thinks he’s finally got the strategy nailed down, a disco-dancing zombie arrives with a backup crew of backup dancers, throwing the entire plan into disarray.
Between frantic lawn management, resource juggling, and screaming when a Gargantuar shows up uninvited, the question remains: can Nick keep his cool long enough to master the rhythm of the game, or will his entire backyard end up overrun? And will Dave ever stop laughing at the fact that his “ultimate defensive strategy” involves nothing but a solid row of spud Walnuts? Tune in as the guys discover that sometimes, the line between gardening and warfare is just a little too thin… especially when your opponent is already dead.
