What is Zombie Tycoon: Protect the Base
In Zombie Tycoon: Protect the Base, every wall you raise and every turret you place could be the difference between survival and being overrun. Gear up for a relentless battle against the undead where strategy is your strongest weapon.
How to Play
Your task is to keep the zombie horde at bay by constructing and upgrading defenses around your base. Manage your resources wisely—spend them on new fortifications, repair damaged structures, and call in reinforcements when the pressure mounts.
Tips for Playing
- Prioritize upgrading your entry points first, as that’s where zombies pile up the fastest.
- Always keep a reserve of resources for emergency repairs mid-wave.
- Study each wave’s composition to counter fast movers with slowing traps.
- Don’t neglect research—unlocking new tech early pays off in later rounds.
- Place your strongest defenses near high-traffic routes, not just around the core.
