About This Game

In Zulu Response play either as a British soldier or Zulu warrior in first person in a simulated tactical game for singleplayer, 4 person co-op or 8 person mulitplayer.

The game is based off true stories from the African Anglo Zulu wars of 1879 where each player has a squad of intelligent AI plus reserves at their command.

Command a Squad of AI

There are different classes of player with each having a unique squad of Zulu or British AI to command. The AI can be commanded as a whole unit, smaller groups or individually.

The size of a squad and number of reserves depend on the player class and whether they are Zulu or British.

The player can:
  • assign rally point destinations, generic target areas or have AI follow you
  • command the British AI to form up in battle lines of standing and crouched
  • assign British AI target locations and order them to fire on command
  • Command each line of AI to fire at once or alternate between standing and crouched soldiers to create a constant hail of bullets
