About This Game

Dead On Arrival is a gritty top-down / first-person zombie survival shooter where you must outlast relentless waves of the infected in a barricaded town on the brink of collapse. Scavenge weapons, build defenses, meet allies and hold your ground — or die trying.

Whether you're fending off the undead solo or with friends, survival means more than just shooting your way out. You'll need strategy, timing, and a plan… because there may be a way to escape.

Your town is overrun. Your supplies are low. And your only option is to fight your way out — or be Dead On Arrival.
