+# Jugabilidad Básica

+Plants vs. Zombies es un juego de defensa de torres, en el que los jugadores usan Plantas inspiradas en diferentes tipos de plantas y [hongos](/wiki/hongos), cada una con sus propias capacidades [ofensivas](/wiki/ofensiva) y/o defensivas únicas, para defender su casa y sus cerebros de los Zombis. Estas Plantas se pueden plantar en una [cuadrícula](/wiki/cuadricula) con el costo de Sol, recolectado a medida que cae del cielo o generado por Plantas productoras de Sol como el [Girasol](/wiki/girasol). Las muchas variantes diferentes de Zombis se abrirán paso por el césped del jugador, en su mayor parte en una [línea recta](/wiki/linea_recta), comiendo y destruyendo las Plantas que se interpongan en su camino. Las [Cortadoras de césped](/wiki/cortadora_de_cesped) resguardan el final del césped como una última línea de defensa, pero si los Zombis logran pasar todas las defensas del jugador, entran en su casa y se comen sus cerebros, haciendo fallar el [nivel](/wiki/nivel).

+Como un juego típico de defensa de torres, nuevas Plantas se desbloquean y nuevos Zombis aparecen a medida que los niveles progresan. Las Plantas se pueden elegir en el menú "Elige tus semillas" antes de que comience un nivel, y no se pueden cambiar después sin reiniciar. El número de ranuras de semillas disponibles se puede mejorar mediante la moneda del juego. Además, el juego presenta 5 etapas diferentes a lo largo de su Modo Aventura, cada una con 10 niveles, incluyendo un nivel de mini-juego en X-5 y una "Batalla Definitiva" en X-10. Cada una de estas etapas también introduce sus propias mecánicas únicas, haciendo uso de los diferentes rasgos y habilidades de las Plantas y los Zombis.

+Cada nivel normal comienza con Zombis básicos, dando tiempo adecuado al jugador para establecer su defensa, e introduce Zombis más difíciles a medida que el nivel se vuelve progresivamente más complicado. Los Zombis aparecen en oleadas en lugar de individualmente, y una "gran oleada" de Zombis aparecerá cada pocas oleadas, indicado por banderas en la barra de progreso del nivel. Una vez que todas las oleadas de Zombis han sido derrotadas, el nivel se gana.
