About the Game

The Dead Rise at Your Command

A fast-paced competitive deck-builder where cunning beats strength — and every survivor is just a zombie waiting to happen.

How You Win

Lure. Convert.
Dominate.

Set cunning traps to draw desperate survivors into your base. Once captured, flip their card. Every survivor has a human side and a zombie side. They join your horde, and your deck grows stronger with every turn.

Outmaneuver rival Overlords and disrupt their plans with action cards. Then unleash your minions to overwhelm their defenses and take control of the game. In the apocalypse, there is only one ruler.

Zombie Overlord Key Art
01
Set Your Traps

Lay down cunning traps to lure desperate survivors into your base. Each trap has a unique effect, giving you control over how the hunt unfolds. Plan ahead and shape the battlefield before the first move is made.

02
Build Your Horde

Captured survivors flip to their zombie side and join your deck. Every card has two forms, and every conversion makes your horde stronger. As your deck grows, so does your power.

03
Crush Your Rivals

Outplay rival Overlords and tear apart their strategies with ever growing horde. Disrupt, discard, and destroy as you build devastating combos. In the end, only one ruler remains.

"We make games that put players in command, where strategy, chaos, and personality collide."

Rising Warrior
Games

Rising Warrior Games is an independent studio focused on creating competitive, system-driven tabletop experiences where players take control, not just react..

Our games are built around meaningful decisions, aggressive interaction, and mechanics that reward strategy over luck. We don’t design passive experiences, we design games where every move has consequences.

Zombie Overlord is our first release: a competitive deck-builder where you play as the villain, setting traps, luring survivors, and converting them into your army. It was designed, tested, and refined in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and brought to life by a community of early backers who believed in the vision from the start.

But this isn’t a one-off project.

Every game we create builds on the same foundation: strong mechanics, distinct identity, and systems that reward players who think ahead. We’re focused on refining and evolving our approach with each release, not repeating the same formula.

Rising Warrior Games isn’t about one game. It’s about creating experiences that hold up over time, games players come back to because they stay engaging, competitive, and rewarding.
