About This Game

THE DEAD ARE RAINING FROM THE SKY

Defend a neon cyberpunk district as infected rain from a breached corporate lab. Skyscraper Security: Zombie Rain is a fast first-person action roguelike where survival means more than keeping yourself alive.

Intercept falling threats, protect humans, and strengthen your defenses through 15 escalating waves, culminating in a confrontation with the Scraper.

BUILD YOUR DEFENDER

All four Defender classes are available from the start. Choose the weapon and fighting style that suit your approach:

  • Skyguard: Control the airspace with a stable, long-range rifle.

  • Breacher: Crush close-range ground threats with a powerful shotgun.

  • Deadeye: Line up precise hand cannon shots and pierce through infected.

  • Masochist: Wield a cyber-katana, chain close-range strikes, and commit to a Focus execution charge.

Each class begins with its own combat doctrine. Reach Wave 8 with a class to unlock its alternate doctrine for future deployments, bringing the full arsenal to eight distinct doctrines.

Combine Level-Up cards and System Shop upgrades between waves to shape your build.

PROTECT THE RESCUE GRID

The drones move the Rescue Grid automatically to catch falling humans. Protect those rescues and collect SS Coins to spend on grid and district upgrades.

Defeated infected drop Bio-Samples. Collect them to gain levels and earn SS Tokens for Level-Up upgrades. Balance your spending between personal firepower and the systems keeping the district alive.

BEND TIME. RETURN FIRE.

Hold Focus to slow the world, line up attacks, and regain control when threats surround you. Attack during Focus to unleash your doctrine’s powered attack, spending extra Focus on top of its ongoing drain.

Dash to reposition and parry hostile projectiles with your own attacks. Your gunfire and katana can both intercept incoming fire.

SURVIVE THE SHIFT

Face increasingly dangerous infected, including later-wave Brutes and Jumpers. Prioritize targets and protect the grid: infected that land in it—or are struck by hostile charging projectiles—become Overcharged.

Fight through Wave 15 and defeat the Scraper to unlock Hard mode. Earn alternate doctrines, pursue in-game achievements, and return with new ways to approach the next deployment.

MAKE YOUR CALLSIGN KNOWN

Compare your performance on global leaderboards and follow worldwide Defender statistics.

Enable optional Online Records to publish completed-run scores, achievement unlocks, and anonymous Defender death reports. Your local progression and in-game achievements remain available with online publishing turned off.

  • All four classes, including the cyber-katana-wielding Masochist, available immediately

  • Eight combat doctrines, including four earned alternates

  • Waves 8–15, later enemy types, and the final Scraper encounter

  • Unlockable Hard mode

  • In-game achievements

AI Generated Content Disclosure

Contains frequent stylized violence involving zombies and humans. Firearm impacts produce red blood, and deaths can produce exaggerated, blocky meat and tissue chunks. The gore is non-anatomical; the game contains no torture or realistic dismemberment.
