Plants vs. Zombies 2: Summon (sometimes referred to as only Plants vs. Zombies 2, 植物大战僵尸2召唤: zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī 2 zhàohuàn) is a QQ and WeChat mini-program released by Tencent, ByteDance, and Baidu in early 2019[1]. It is a spin-off game of Plants vs. Zombies 2. In order to play the game, one must have the mobile application of either the Tencent QQ, WeChat, Douyin, or Baidu Tieba and a registered account for the respective platform depending on the app. In QQ, it is renamed to Plants vs. Zombies 2.
The game plays like a standard tower defense game. You have a 4-by-3 lawn with 5 of the tiles already unlocked, and the other 7 being purchasable with coins. Plants will spawn on the unlocked tiles over time, by watching an advertisement, or by buying a plant in the shop. The player moves plants to open tiles, and moving a plant to a tile that already has the same type of plant will cause them to combine into a stronger plants.
The player must use the plants to defend your house from increasingly stronger waves of zombies following a single path around the lawn towards the back of the house. If a zombie reaches the end of the path, you lose the level and have to retry it. Each level as a specific number of waves, with the final wave being a fight against a boss zombie, which is a normal zombie but larger and stronger.
The lawn with snow, possibly during a winter-related event.
Trivia[]
In this game, certain aspects of the plants are inconsistent with the others under the same franchise.
Twopeater is introduced despite the game featuring Repeater. It is also being referred to as the "Repeater". It also looks different then the on in Plants vs. Zombies 2: Guardian.
Threepeater's heads fires peas one by one instead of all at once.
Gatling Pea shoots one golden pea instead of four normal peas.
Laser Bean shoots a plasma ball instead of a beam of laser.
The game shares many unexpected similarities to an existing mobile game; Merge Flower vs. Zombies, a game most known for its unauthorized/bootlegged use of Plants vs. Zombies characters.
This includes several mechanics, the UI, and the gameplay being either the same or very similar.
Enraged mode and the advertisement however also seem to be directly copied from Merge Flower vs. Zombies.
