Not to be confused with the online version of the original Plants vs. Zombies game, Plants vs. Zombies Web Version.
For the earlier Chinese online version of the game, see Plants vs. Zombies Social Edition.

Plants vs. Zombies Online (植物大战僵尸Online; pinyin: zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī Online), abbreviated as PvZO or PvZ Online, was a Chinese MMO SNS Tower defense game with simulation and RPG elements, released by PopCap Games and Tencent Games. It was available to play at pvz.qq.com. In order to play Plants vs. Zombies Online, one had to create a QQ account.

In terms of art style and gameplay features, Plants vs. Zombies Online was nearly identical to Plants vs. Zombies 2. However, unlike it, it was a PC game with an online component with special gameplay elements of its own.

Generally, the game had three modes: Normal Mode where the player defended their house from zombies around many worlds with plants in the original tower defense style; an Adventure mode which had a gameplay that was similar to the popular mobile TCG "I AM MT", in which the player formed their own plants troop to battle against AI, as many as seven plant units which included one from the player's friend could be sent into battle; and a Map mode where the player sent off one of their decks of plants in Adventure Mode into an empty or another user's mining location to conquer it for harvesting for rewards after. After a few levels in Normal Mode or Adventure Mode, the player would be lead into the town. The town was a place the player lives. It contained buildings that the player could unlock and a menu with many buttons, each led to a feature or a mode of the game. These buildings and features had different activities that can resemble one of the three modes as well as rewards for them.

On August 11th, 2018, players were no longer able to log into the game and the entire website as well as the server were removed completely.

History[]

Plants vs. Zombies: Social Edition failed to compete with a similar ripoff game called Plants vs. Zombies Online (not to be confused with the official game with the same name), also known as Plants Gone Wild in English versions of the game. PopCap Shanghai thought Plants Gone Wild was more successful because it was much more local to Chinese audiences compared to Social Edition.[1] In response to this, they made Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition as a more local approach towards Chinese players on Plants vs. Zombies. Later, PopCap Shanghai teamed up with Tencent Games to make their own take on Plants vs. Zombies Online, using the exact same Chinese name, and improving off of criticism they had of the original, such as the game having little proper gameplay with having no sort of player interaction during battles, making the stats of the player's plants being the only deciding factor of who would win. Some of the zombies from Plants Gone Wild also appeared as cameos.

Game Modes[]

The player was first given a choice to pick between Normal Mode and Adventure Mode to play first. After playing a few levels in the chosen mode, the player unlocked the Town feature, which was the main gameplay and also a menu for all of the features, modes, and buildings there.

Trivia[]

  • The game was only available in China, similar to the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Plants vs. Zombies for mobile.
  • Plants and zombies show detailed health bar on their head when they get damaged. Armored zombies like Bucketheads show separate blue bar that shows the armor's health. Zombies and defensive plants still visibly degrade when damaged enough. Boss zombies have a large health bar at the top-right corner of the screen.
  • Ancient Egypt is extremely different from its counterpart version in PvZ2, both in appearance, and music.
    • This area's normal level music is completely different from Plants vs. Zombies 2, but Ultimate Battle and Brainiac Maniac music are identical to their Plants vs. Zombies 2 counterpart. This is also the only area to have Ultimate Battle and Brainiac Maniac music.
  • Some music from the first game appears here: in Days 5-2, 5-3 & 5-4 of Ancient Egypt, the soundtrack versions of Crazy Dave, Loonboon & Grasswalk are played respectively.
  • The second beta added a PvP mode, Racing Minigame, and Soccer Minigame.
  • The seed packets are blue and they are at the top of the screen, similar to the first game.
    • More recent versions of the game seem to have more of a variety of colors, like orange, purple, green, and white. These colors represent the number of upgrades the seed packet has from the Greenhouse.
  • There is a research area and PvP mode, similar to Chinese PvZ2 and Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars, but unlike the other Plants vs. Zombies games.
  • Players no longer need to click to collect sun, they can just hover the mouse over them to collect it.
    • A Sun Bomb still needs to be clicked if the player wishes to detonate it. Also unlike the normal sun, a sun bomb that reaches the ground will automatically be collected.
  • The main game interface is a little similar to Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, as the player can unlock places like Institutes (pubs, supermarkets, etc.). There is also a garden in where they can plant plants.
  • The player can now can choose one plant from other players before a level starts.
    • In this game, the player has only five normal seed slots which the player can freely use. The sixth slot is usable only for borrowing a friend's plant. The friend's plant will not conflict with the player's own seed packet selection so it can be used like an Imitater (for example, the player can bring two Sunflowers in a level). The seventh seed slot is automatically added and assigned to Winter Melon if the player has a VIP subscription.
  • The player can upgrade plants now. (e.g. plant Peashooter on Peashooter to create a Repeater).
  • In PvP and garden missions, the player can select a group of either plants or zombies for an RPG turn-based battle.
  • Pirate Seas and Far Future are currently the only worlds that have the Gargantuar and Imp variant.
  • Stinky the Snail makes a cameo in this game from Insaniquarium and the original Plants vs. Zombies, appearing whenever the game is loading.
  • For some odd reason, there were soundbytes from Angry Birds in the game. This could have possibly been a glitch or a placeholder.
  • The game allows the player to hold up to four Plant Foods at a time. Unlike Plants vs. Zombies 2, the game still allows the player to collect a Plant Food after this limit is reached, but doing so will waste the collected Plant Food.
  • As in an update, the game now plays the Modern Day theme, Neon Mixtape Tour Ballad jam or Zen Garden theme in the town area.
