Thank you for your suggestions and corrections. Since PVZ mods are in a massive legal gray area, most of this stuff is undocumented online and incredibly difficult to research, and I went into this pretty much only having played PVZ1 and PVZ2. If someone would like to make a video chronicling the history of these mods for the English audience, I would love to watch it. And yes, I am Vietnamese and I live in Vietnam. Click on this comment's channel to find the (rushed) Vietnamese version of this very video!
The anime girls are taken from another mod. Pvz magical hybrid probably took those sprites from that mod. But, I don't know I've only played the mod with only the anime girls. *don't ask me why*
@Luigicat11 its 植物娘大战僵 尸. Its title just translates to "Plant Girl vs Zombies" and there are only few plants that got reskinned. Cattail's seed slot moves so I love this mod.
Well I don't know what it is, and it looks exactly like PvZ, the UI and functionality is almost exactly the same, so I thought it was some sort of engine port. If it's fully original, kudos to them.
@popov9651 it ain't, but since the modding fanbase kinda find out how a lot of things work, BlueFly just put it all in it, with hiccups like the animations and particles being janky
Fusion is still my favorite one. Mainly because the challenge is just right(even a difficulty slidee), unlike other mods making things too easy or unfair by default. AND ENGLISH PATCH
Correction: Giga-Football {the black Football} isn't exclusive to China. It's from a web-game version/demo of the official PvZ1 Also, if you're invested into the mods, why not dive into a similar rabbithole?: PvZ OFFICIAL {I repeat, OFFICIAL} games from China! Edit: 11:40 Hybrid which also has English Translations if you know where to look: *insert disappointing cricket fan meme here*
There's a lot of stuff proving against it being a mod. Like having entirely different programming language or not being compatible with some pvz1 scripts.
Great video, really enjoyed it. But a couple corrections: Pvz plus is a completely different mod from brutal mode. And brutal ex is a difficulty setting in the brutal mode mod.
@@Carbine64 Yeah his names are better. Oh and brutal mode also has a ton of super original minigames and even it's own level editor(albeit pretty clunky). Don't take it to heart, i am just very nitpicky, as i said i enjoyed the video very much. Good luck with your future projects :)
Small tangeant, but the Journey to the West inspired levels and boss in Crazy Multiverse is based on two of the Chinese exclusive PVZ Versions, Endless Edition and Great Wall Edition. Both had content from the original story as a whole side adventure. The boss theme is likely based on a theme used for the trailers of Endless Edition, which are itself based on the song you talked about.
The anime girls are taken from another mod which i think it's called "Plantgirls vs zombie". Even Pvz fusion has the cattail anime girls from that mod. That mod(plant girls vs zombie) also has animated cutscenes for the plantgirls introduction and it has lore.
The anime girls in the background of magical hybrid 2.3 seem kinda ai generated to me so uh. It's not stealing from 1 artist, it's stealing from EVERY artist! Yay!
i like this video but i have a few gripes which are mostly just my autism i think but anyway firstly, "brutal mode ex plus" ia actually called unnamed. rcch made that name up for it. secondly, the "rats from ratatouille" (and the whole levelset you showed in general during that part) are actually from an old chinese equivalent to pvz called "food vs mouse" (there's a pvz mod that makes it like the game though if you wanna check it out sometime) thirdly, there is a video that exposes the guy that made hybrid. it talks about stolen ideas and uh.... well... let's just say he's a *piano sounds* mustard on that beat yo
PvZ Fusion is a FAN-GAME not a mod, How? PvZ Mods are the og game but changed. PvZ Fusion is in Unity Engine. So PvZ Fusion is a FAN-GAME... ( ok? we good? .... cool!) ( oh and i make pvz mods so.... yea... )
There's a lot of conflicting info even in these TH-cam comments about that, and functionally it doesn't change anything for the player, so I think it's fine.
pvz hybrid is made by a person who (mostly) steals code and art from others without giving credit thats probably where the disliking of the mod is coming from

Oh, is _that_ where the Cattail Girl from Fusion came from?
Where's the anime boys?
China really be having the pvz2 of all time
really good video, thought i was watching somone with at least 5k subs, you have most certainly earned yourself a sub.
Thank you very much, hopefully I can get to 5k soon!
I've always been very curious about these strange mods, and no one ever talked about them, thanks for the video!
There's definitely not enough content about them. Thank you for watching!
really well made and documented video ngl, i might have just went and called Fusion a fangame but you did say it was made in unity so i digress.
Well I don't know what it is, and it looks exactly like PvZ, the UI and functionality is almost exactly the same, so I thought it was some sort of engine port. If it's fully original, kudos to them.
@@Carbine64It is a port. Heard pvz 1 source is on the web or smth
@popov9651 it ain't, but since the modding fanbase kinda find out how a lot of things work, BlueFly just put it all in it, with hiccups like the animations and particles being janky
5:27 Goodness that's a niche Binding of Isaac joke
Glad someone caught that
People need to make more essays about pvz chinese mods bro, its so versetile.
Very true, and the same applies to a boatload of Chinese games or Chinese mods for games. There's so much to explore there.
Fusion is still my favorite one. Mainly because the challenge is just right(even a difficulty slidee), unlike other mods making things too easy or unfair by default. AND ENGLISH PATCH
Fusion is not a mod. It's a fan-game on unity.
Only 500+ subs with this quality of a video?!? Yep subbed.
Thanks for the support!
10:27 "Hutts look, i'm in a video about Chinese PvZ."
Wow I am GLAD someone caught that 😁. Big fan of Hutts.
Orochi Zombie just exist... It's so random, I love it!
This is peak, subscribed and liked
Thanks for watching!
Correction: Giga-Football {the black Football} isn't exclusive to China. It's from a web-game version/demo of the official PvZ1
Also, if you're invested into the mods, why not dive into a similar rabbithole?: PvZ OFFICIAL {I repeat, OFFICIAL} games from China!
Edit: 11:40 Hybrid which also has English Translations if you know where to look: *insert disappointing cricket fan meme here*
Giga-football Zombie was also in PVZ: Social Edition
@nectarinna They basically implemented it there, yeah.
0:26 correcting that those are peashooters
I know they are, I said "trees" to avoid word repetition
@@Carbine64 okay
I can get over how engaging and entertaining this video is for such little views, imma cry, hope you get the recognition you deserve bro
You CAN get over it? 😭 Thanks for watching!
I really liked the video and the absurd mods out there is kinda crazy. Also, I like the Gungeon pfp.
Great video but just want to clarify:
Fusion is not a mod, it's a fangame
fusion has source code from the original game, pvz fusion is a heavily MODDed version if pvz
@@sertiee Where did you get this info from? Just curios.
There's a lot of stuff proving against it being a mod. Like having entirely different programming language or not being compatible with some pvz1 scripts.
Great video, really enjoyed it. But a couple corrections: Pvz plus is a completely different mod from brutal mode. And brutal ex is a difficulty setting in the brutal mode mod.
Also the original name of brutal mode is beta and the original name of brutal ex plus is unnamed . Yeah the Chinese are not that good with names
That's why I just went with the RCCH names. Also because I literally can't find their source to verify.
@@Carbine64 Yeah his names are better. Oh and brutal mode also has a ton of super original minigames and even it's own level editor(albeit pretty clunky). Don't take it to heart, i am just very nitpicky, as i said i enjoyed the video very much. Good luck with your future projects :)

Zombie wanda hahaha
Btw Hybrid and Fusion did a collaboration a burger king on fusion that is in hybrid and on hybrid the king Threepeater
UNDERATED!!!
Hehe you posted right before pvz fusion 2.2 came out : P
These mods update so often I can't keep up lol
Pháp sư trung hoa never fails to deliver once again 🙏 Thanks for the link to fusion, definitely checking this one out
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
im WATCHING PEAK RN!!!! what a amazing video
Bro why the bedding is tidier in this channel 😂?
Ai will never replace chinese peoples game
these mods/fan games look pretty fun.
They were very fun. Thank you for watching!
@@Carbine64 np
Hey, uhh, at 7:04, that's actually a reference to a pvz rip-off named mouse vs. food.
@Carbine64
"Pháp sư Trung Hoa" yes
PEAK
The anime girls are taken from another mod which i think it's called "Plantgirls vs zombie".
Even Pvz fusion has the cattail anime girls from that mod.
That mod(plant girls vs zombie) also has animated cutscenes for the plantgirls introduction and it has lore.
The imp gargantuar is inspired from pvz2
This video is a fucking banger, love your style keep it up, great fucking video cheers
Thank you very much!
@Carbine64 no problem loved the bret hart reference too
Yea it's one of the jokes I removed in the Vietnamese version cuz it doesn't work 😭 glad some ppl know wrestling
@@Carbine64 yeah, how can we not love the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be!
Bro have you heard of Samen's pvz mod. It's so balanced and it's full of passion and quality content.
Yes, but it didn't really apply to my topic of specifically Chinese mods. Great mod though.
Great quality video for a low sub channel
Đậu má giọng ông này hay vãi :))
Cảm ơn bro :)
Unemployment to the next level!
Pvz fusion updated a few days ago and added a zomboss fight and more plant fusions
These mods update so often I can't keep up
@Carbine64 fair enough lol
Tho the devs take their time with fusion compared to other pvz mod/fangame devs
Still more balanced than pvz 2 arena plants
I T ' S H I G H Q U A L I T Y very good content. instant sub.
i didn't this video felt like an ad
Pvz brutal mode ex plus is classic with its hardest level being unsodded and raining seeds 5:14
ok
in your opinion
which chinese pvz is better?
pvz 2 china or pvz fusion?
The anime girls in the background of magical hybrid 2.3 seem kinda ai generated to me so uh. It's not stealing from 1 artist, it's stealing from EVERY artist! Yay!
best video in 2025 (also 6:38)
i like this video but i have a few gripes which are mostly just my autism i think but anyway
firstly, "brutal mode ex plus" ia actually called unnamed. rcch made that name up for it.
secondly, the "rats from ratatouille" (and the whole levelset you showed in general during that part) are actually from an old chinese equivalent to pvz called "food vs mouse" (there's a pvz mod that makes it like the game though if you wanna check it out sometime)
thirdly, there is a video that exposes the guy that made hybrid. it talks about stolen ideas and uh.... well... let's just say he's a *piano sounds* mustard on that beat yo
Thank you for your corrections. Also, Not Like Us has horns in the beginning not pianos 😭
@@Carbine64 the not like us part is just a reference to a funny reply that people memed on for a bit
PvZ Fusion is a FAN-GAME not a mod, How?
PvZ Mods are the og game but changed.
PvZ Fusion is in Unity Engine.
So PvZ Fusion is a FAN-GAME... ( ok? we good? .... cool!)
( oh and i make pvz mods so.... yea... )
Need to remind you that PvZ Fusion is fangames, not a mod. I dodn't think the pvz 1 mod can adding garden gloves to move plants and fuse them.
There's a lot of conflicting info even in these TH-cam comments about that, and functionally it doesn't change anything for the player, so I think it's fine.
hybrid glaze in big 2025. give up lil bro
Sorry I don't speak your language. Please go to another video.
@@Carbine64 dont worry about that guy, that guy is something people called new gen
crazy
Is this person Vietnamese? The lip movements don't look like a dub!
I'm Vietnamese, and I did both English and Vietnamese versions of the video! Thank you for watching!
Pvz fusion is not a mod tho
Is it lil bro
@Sussblack It's not thats why you see the unity logo at the beginning in the game "lil bro"
try pvz fusion now it just got a INSANE update
Not going to lie pvz hybrid is like a grandma she give you so much good content till you dont want more of if ylbut she says just a little bit more
You are Vietnamese?
Yep
@@Carbine64 same
