Plants vs. Zombies : The Plants' Rescue is a game made by and it took place after the PvZ2 story. It also explains about more returning PvZ2 gameplay mechanics.

Story
After he (Zomboss) got defeated, over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, he decided to "surrender", and decided not to fight Dave, because he said he had better things to do, so the Time Patrol Officers let him go. While he' was leaving, he took some plants from the Present Day time, making the Time Patrol Officers confused. They decided to track those plants' location, and give Dave and Penny the job to rescue them.

Description
The evil doctor, Doctor Edgar Zomboss is planning something, AGAIN... He must be up to something... Confront him and save some plants along the way! This time, Zomboss is really plotting on something, because he isn't the one who attacks you, it's his minions that are more powerful! Go to Time Traveling again, with Dave and Penny!

Adventure Mode
Defeat Zombies from different worlds, Thwart Zomboss' plan, and rescue plants to defeat Zombies!

Free Mode
A side-adventure mode that lets you play Brain Busters or specific levels, with the Plants you pick instead of Pre-picked. Consist of Brain Buster levels, Locked and Loaded Levels, Gargantuar levels and Zomboss Bossfight levels. Always reward you with Pinatas.

Zen Garden (Revamped)
Just like the previous games, you can get coins, but now, this is the place where you can also Level Up your plants. The maximum level is 6 (later 15), and There's a Skill for your plants. Just like PvZ2, levelled-up Plants deal more damage, more health, faster recharge and lesser cost.

Zomboss Special Mode
The story where Dr.Zomboss needs to get a victory for once, he decided to kidnap the player and let the player help him instead. The gameplay is like "I, Zombie", but slightly changed.

Brain Buster Challenge (Upcoming)
A gamemode that allows you to play Brain Busters you've played in a world. Just like Zen Garden, this cannot be accessed through Main Menu, and only from Adventure Mode. Beating them rewards you a Mystery Gift Box and a star. The star will be used as Brain Buster Challenge's Completion Rate. There's 3 stars to obtain from each Brain Buster, and has 3 levels of Each Brain Buster. Getting a milestone of stars will reward you either shards, gems and coins, or a Pinata. Will be added in v.2.0.0.

Sun
Suns act like how they did in Plants vs. Zombies 2. A tiny sun is worth of 5 suns, Small suns worth 25 suns, Normal suns worth 50 suns, Big suns worth 75 suns, and Giga-sun worth 150 suns.

In-game Currencies
There are three types of In-game currencies in this game, which is Coins, Gems, and Elemental Shards.

Coins act like how they did in PvZ2, which is Silver Coins worth 10 coins, and Gold Coins worth 100 coins. There's an additional type of coin, the Brown Coin, which is more common and worth 1 coin. Coins are dropped by Zombies, given by Marigolds in Zen Garden, Lawn Mowers and Money Bags after finishing a level. They serve more roles other than currencies to buy Power-Ups and Plant Foods, now Coins can be used to bought Upgrades, Small and Medium sized Pinata, and Common rarity Costumes.

Gems act like how they did in PvZ2, which acts as its own currency. It's more rare to find the zombie drops, and easier to find by completing quests. They serve more roles than Buying Plants, now Gems can be used to bought Big, XL or Multi Small or Multi Medium Pinatas, Rare and Super Rare rarity Costumes, and Upgrading Plants higher than level 6.

Elemental Shards, or just Shards are by far, the hardest currencies to obtain. They varies in 5 types, which is Pea, Sun, Freeze, Heat and Explosive Shards. The only easy way to obtain this is by defeating the Gargantuar Level, or beating Boss Battle in Free Mode. They can be used to bought Shard-themed Pinatas, or Plants that costs Shards. Shards can also be used to be the cost to level up Plants that costs Shards. They will be in the same type as the type of shard you need to buy them.

Seed Packets and Slots
Seed Packets having the same appearances in PvZ2. While in PC, they are smaller than the mobile version, due to the PC version having capablities of having 10 Seed Slots. While the mobile devices has only 9. In Upcoming Console Versions, depending on the device, they will have either 9 or 10.

XP Packets
XP Packets are having the same concept as they did in PvZ2, which is used to level up Plants. Instead of only by Opening Pinatas to get them in PvZ2, now you can also get it by Playing a level with that plant, and actually use it. Plants now has Leveling Rate, which is from Fast, Medium-Fast, Medium, Medium-Slow and Slow. Plants with faster Leveling Rate has more chance to get more XP, the lower the Leveling Rate, the harder it is to level up. Fast, Medium-Fast and Medium are easily found on normally obtained plants, while Medium, Medium-Slow and Slow are easily found on premium plants.

World Map
The World Map is similar to the ones in PvZ2. The map order is similar to earlier versions, which is sorted from the story, not the difficulty, which offers the dynamic diffuclty. Currently, the difficulty determiner is based on bars, One is Easy, Two is Medium, Three is Hard, Four is Insane, and Five is Extreme. Each World will have the world name, how many levels you completed, and if you download the DLC or not. At the very bottom of the world map, there's a completion rate, which for every level you completed, every obtainable plant via the world, and every worlds unlocked. Currently, there's a glitch for DLC levels that makes the completion rate goes over 100%.
