What is Zombie Horde: Build & Survive

Build, scavenge, and survive as waves of undead close in on your last safe haven. Every choice matters when resources are scarce and time is not on your side.

How to Play

Start by gathering wood and metal from the surroundings, then construct walls, traps, and turrets along the likely attack paths. Control your survivor to repair structures, fend off zombies, and manage inventory between waves.

Tips for Playing

  • Prioritize wall upgrades early; stronger barriers keep zombies from reaching your core.
  • Scavenge during calm periods but always leave enough time to return before the next wave.
  • Place traps in choke points to maximize damage on clustered undead.
  • Upgrade your weapon before investing in cosmetic upgrades; firepower saves lives.
  • Watch for armored zombies that require focused fire to take down.
