Reviews

“Been playing for a couple days. Hella fun. Incredibly nerve-wracking. But that just keeps you coming back for more. It's challenging. You will die. You will lose everything and have to start over. But there's so many items, and so, countless potential strategies that you'll want to try it again... and again.”
5/5 – Google Play Player

“This game reminds me of the good old days. The gameplay is super smooth and addicting.”
5/5 – App Store Player

“If your looking for a boredom killer or to test your skills and see if you can survive in the zombie apocalypse yea the first couple levels are easy but once the runners and the boomers (throwing up) start showing up the difficulty becomes challenging yet still fun.”
5/5 – App Store Player

About This Game

They Are Coming is a hybrid game that combines roguelike, tower defense, and base building in a side-scrolling shooter format. It offers a straightforward gaming experience for pure enjoyment.

Gameplay

In the "Defense" mode, you are a post-apocalyptic survivor, returning to the orphanage where you grew up. With the responsibility of safeguarding your younger siblings, you must be willing to give it your all, erecting a formidable defense to prevent your hometown from transforming into another undead wasteland.

Faced with an ever-increasing horde of zombies every day, you are fortunate that the orphanage has left behind an incredible arsenal of weapons and tools to empower you in your battle against these relentless foes. However, you must purchase these vital supplies from the administrator. Armed with your acquired weaponry and tools, you embark on the grim task of systematically slaughtering wave after wave of zombies.

In the "Playground" mode, you can play with unlocked in-game items without the looming threat of death. This allows you to assume the role of an omnipotent creator, crafting defenses against the very zombies that have claimed your life countless times. It's a unique opportunity to experiment, strategize, and turn the tables on these persistent adversaries, or just for fun.
