In Story Mode, players race to be the first to collect the best materials and weaponry to survive the night. In Mercenary Mode, players are rewarded for taking the offense and eliminating as many zombies as possible. In Versus Mode, there are no zombies. Instead, players take on one another, each hoping to be the last one standing. In every mode, players start with 10 cards and must collect Ammo, Weapons, and Items to bolster their offense. By defeating the undead, players receive Decorations that count towards points at the end of the game. When the most powerful undead is defeated, the game ends.
