Survival Tycoon: City of Zombie
Survival Tycoon: City of Zombie drops you into a crumbling urban landscape overrun by the undead. Your job is to turn a ruined neighborhood into a thriving, defensible stronghold. Start by clearing debris, salvaging scrap, and setting up basic structures like shelters and storage. As your population grows, you'll need to expand your territory, erect walls, and train armed guards to keep the zombies at bay. Every decision matters—where to put a watchtower, when to send out scavengers, and how to ration your limited supplies. The game blends base-building strategy with resource management. You'll constantly balance immediate needs like food and medicine against long-term upgrades that unlock better defenses and new technologies. The zombie hordes get smarter and more numerous over time, so passive play won't cut it. You'll need to plan your layout carefully, prioritize research, and respond to threats as they arrive. The city won't rebuild itself, and every survivor you recruit adds both hands and mouths to feed. It's a tense, rewarding challenge that asks you to think like a leader in a world gone wrong.

What is Survival Tycoon: City of Zombie
Survival Tycoon: City of Zombie puts you in charge of a last refuge in a zombie-infested city. Build, manage, and defend your settlement as you fight to keep hope alive.
How to Play
Start by collecting resources from the surrounding ruins and constructing basic facilities like barracks and farms. Upgrade your buildings to unlock better gear and defenses, then assign your survivors to gather, build, or fight as the situation demands.
Tips for Playing
- Prioritize food production early so your survivors don't starve.
- Build walls and traps before expanding your territory too far.
- Send scavengers out in the morning and bring them back before nightfall.
- Upgrade your watchtowers to spot zombie hordes earlier.
- Keep a reserve of medicine for when a horde hits your walls.
- Train a mix of fighters and builders—combat alone won't sustain your city.
