About This Game

Hold the Line. Survive the Apocalypse.

The city has fallen silent, the streets are crawling with the undead, and your base is the last thing standing between the horde and the survivors who are still holding on. Z-Defender is a wave-based first-person zombie shooter and base defense game with a bold, blocky military style. Grab a rifle, man the walls, and keep that base alive for as long as you can.

Fight the Horde

Every day brings a new wave, and every wave hits harder than the last. Zombies pour in from the streets and charge your defenses, and it is up to you to stop them before they break through. Aim fast, shoot straight and keep moving, because if the base falls, the run is over.

Watch out for the bigger threats too. Hulking special zombies like the Glutton soak up bullets and demand everything you have to bring them down.

Earn It, Then Spend It

Every kill puts cash in your pocket. Between waves, decide how to spend it to get through the next day: bigger guns, stronger defenses, extra hands on the line, or firepower from above. Spend wisely, because every choice you make between waves decides whether you see the next sunrise.

Man Your Posts

Your defense posts are the backbone of the base, and the people on them are what make them hold. Spend your cash to hire police units onto your posts, then upgrade them so they hit harder and last longer. A fully staffed, upgraded post holds its ground, opens fire on anything that moves, and buys you precious seconds when the horde surges. The more you invest, the stronger your line becomes.



Call In the Heavy Stuff

When the wall is about to break, look to the sky. Support strikes rain down fire on the densest packs of zombies and turn a losing fight around in seconds. Time them right and clear the street; time them wrong and the horde is at your gate.

Why I Made This

I got tired of watching the military lose to the zombie horde in every movie, show and game. Tanks get overrun, soldiers panic, and the base always falls. Z-Defender is my answer to that: a game where the army digs in, holds the line, and shows the undead what real firepower looks like.
