The best (in my opinion) PVZ mod

There are many PVZ2 mods out there. Many, many mods out there of PVZ1, too. These are all valid in their own way, but I do think AltverZ is the definitive PVZ experience and I love it for that reason. I think it deserves the spotlight, at least, and should be a major talking point. With that said, I hope you enjoy this one, this is probably the most edited video I have done, will try to incorporate this style more in the future I think.

  • The best thing about Alterverz, Nightcast and Reflourished is the fact that, unlike eclise, is actually improving each new version instead of making it worse.
  • @_Whyro_
    The only thing odd about this mod is the art in my opinion. Most exclusive zombies doesn't really capture the pvz2 artstyle except for the chili bean event zombies.
  • @trashley5972
    Played through everything this mod has to offer (minus some community levels) and this is so damn fun. Like you said its a great middleground mix of 1 and 2 and the level design is so damn fun (except for that one nmt level that does fill a horizontal row with plants and dont lose to many)
  • Well after missing literally every one of your streams on this game i cant do anything other than play this. Youve got my attention.
  • @ED-gw9rg
    Thank you for making this, really helps me appreciate it a bit more. Good reminder that twisting a carelessly designed set of hard-coded core mechanics into something neat is really hard work.
  • Ah, Altverz. The perfect PvZ2 mod. Practically PvZ2 with the things I LOVE about PvZ1. Zombies don't come as quickly, giving you time to set up sun production early on. The plants are practically rebalanced around each other instead of some plants being more powerful but locked behind paywalls. I also found the gimmicks (such as the potions in dark ages), which I would normally hate in vanilla, actually kinda fun. Must play for any PvZ fan.

    I started playing AltverZ after you reccomended it some time ago. Seamless install process, fantastic difficulty curve with straightforward early levels and viciously difficult Community Levels, and meaningful currencies to buy plants with. Genuinely had a lot of fun with it!
  • @EVenture_XD
    This is great to hear! I'm a pvz 2 veteran and haven't touched the game since daisychain's release, because there really was nothing left for me to do anymore. Maybe this will be the mod to get me to play pvz 2 again! Thx for sharing 🎉
  • My first experience with pvz mods was eclise which i in fact did not like as I kinda felt forced to do specific strategies to win so i hope i dont run into this problem with altverz
  • @eggsnham.
    I tried altverz as my first pvz mod and I really liked it, and some of the harder levels felt just the right amount of hard for a more casual player like me to be able to just make it past
  • Awesome! I've been wanting to get into a mod for ages but couldn't decide or figure out which one to do, thanks for this
  • @The4DRY4N
    i've completed altverz as my first mod and gotta say, i hella loved it! 100% would recommend it
  • @jeal5022
    Might I say that this is well written! Something that I actually listened and understood throughout the video.

    I am currently playing through altverz, I used to play vanilla pvz2 a lot and I love the changes made so far, because I’m bored I’m just gonna list off ones I like. Also, I need to specify, I’ve done pretty much everything up to dark ages except WWEX-X and all of the extra far future levels. First of all, the dialogue is much better here, and the tutorial has new zombies surprisingly. I love the new placements for plants and premium plants on the world map, progression feels much more realistic when it comes to difficulty. I’m happy they made ae gravestones do something, even if ae necromancy is rare. Extra levels are almost always a joy to play and the finales of each world are great. I love how most plants have been reworked or changed in some way, it makes the game feel so fresh. I love how a lot of zombies are now huge threats, like poncho and jetpack aren’t just filler specials anymore. I love the new premium and coin systems. The amount of new zombies is crazy, because of videos like this, I’ve seen what new zombies there are to come. While I love most of the new levels, some are not so great, such as WWEX-IV, fuck this level. The difficulty really adds to the experience, and having a challenge makes it generally more fun then the base game. In general, this is basically vanilla pvz2 with some tweaks, changes, and additions making it much better overall, 9.5/10 lost .5 because of WWEX-IV specifically. Edit: 5 days later, I still love the mod, but im convinced most of these levels were not playtested, NMT-V, NMTX-V and FC-X are good examples.

    what I love about Reflourished is how it wants to keep that vanilla feel when you're playing it, the buffs and nerfs aren't necessarily overthought and the overall gameplay feels natural
  • @AceandBlast
    ah yes, the donut segment, had a lot of fun talking about donuts banger video btw
  • @Arkal
    I started playing this after seeing the corn cult video, it is pretty challenging but it is a lot of fun
  • @clash9087
    6:44 Game Theory's next video: Void Orchid is the Pale King?!
  • I've been wanting to play PvZ2 again for sometime but I really didn't want to deal with it's monetization and it's other various problems so I'm totally playing AlterverZ now. Thanks for the recommendation!
  • @thetarr2
    I burst into tears when Creeps20 said "This PV2 is better than the original! We must be in some sort of an Alternate UniverZ!" truly one of the videos of all time
