Plot
Plants vs. Zombies: Game of Groans takes place during a stalemate during the Garden War, as the Zombies have halted their attack on Neighborville to target a new location-the peaceful region of Cropsville, filled with fresh air, calm farmland, giant crops, and...a huge wave of zombies? And that's where you come in! Will you get every last ghoul out of Cropsville as the plants? Or will you leave no brains unbitten as the zombies? The war is in your hands, so get growing!

Gameplay
Plants vs. Zombies: Game of Groans is a third-person, top down shooter comparable to previous shooter games in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise (ex: Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare). In this game, you play as either a Plant or Zombie class in cooperative or competitive game modes, where players must work together and coordinate their efforts to complete objectives such as capturing bases or vanquishing members of the enemy team. Along with gamemodes, there are many different maps to play on with unique layouts and tiles to spice up gameplay.

There are a variety of different classes you can play as, each character being in a specific faction-either Plants or Zombies. Each character is capable of actions such as moving, shooting, and using abilities to help them win battles. With each class having a unique set of attacks and abilities, even having character variants to customize their playstyle, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

When you open up the game, you'll start out in Cropsville Center, a hub area which has everything you need for battle and is a great place to start out at. It is your exclusive place to explore, where you can swap out your character, get target practice, play minigames, find secrets, and more! There's plenty of stuff to see and do here, sometimes there even being Events to partake in. Cropsville Center can also change appearance as time goes on. Who knows? Maybe it could turn into a winter wonderland during Feastivus, or maybe some not-so-friendly gnome invaders could take over. Just remember to hop back into the Battle Portal when you're ready to continue the fight for Cropsville!
