World Z Defense

World Z Defense drops you into a ruined world where the undead press in from every side. Your job is to keep them from overrunning your stronghold. You'll set up a line of turrets and barricades along the approach routes, then watch the action unfold. Between assaults, you collect resources from fallen enemies to repair damage, buy new emplacements, and boost the firepower of your existing ones. Each wave brings more zombies, and some sprout special traits that test your tactics. As you advance, new battlegrounds open up, each with its own choke points and sightlines. You'll need to adapt your layout to the terrain, mix different tower types, and time the deployment of your limited soldier units for maximum impact. The pressure builds steadily, and a single gap in your coverage can be the end. With careful planning and a bit of luck, you can hold the line and see how many waves you can survive.

What is World Z Defense

The dead are rising, and your base is the last safe haven. Build, upgrade, and defend to survive the endless onslaught.

How to Play

Place defensive towers along the zombie pathways and upgrade them to deal more damage. Also, deploy special units to support your turrets and wipe out tougher foes.

Tips for Playing

  • Start with a strong economy—focus on resource-generating upgrades early on.
  • Don't put all your towers in one spot; spread them out to cover the whole path.
  • Watch for special zombies that shrug off certain attacks and change your strategy.
  • Save your unit deployments for when a big wave is about to hit.
  • Upgrade a few key towers instead of building many weak ones.
