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
