Zombie swarm

Zombie swarm combines top-down shooting with the decisions you make between waves. Choose a hero, survive the undead attacks, gather resources and develop your equipment and skills. The game includes solo and duo play, alongside a Defense mode in which a card deck supports your effort to protect a drill.

Movement, shooting and survival

On PC, move with WASD or the arrow keys; shooting is automatic or mouse-aimed according to the active setup. On mobile, use the virtual joystick with auto-fire. The on-screen buttons provide actions such as using perks, opening the shop, crafting items and reviving an ally.

Keep track of the space around your hero as the wave grows. Positioning matters because different zombie types have different behaviour. Choose a route that gives you room to respond instead of allowing the horde to close around you while you focus on a single target.

Build for the next wave

Use collected resources to craft equipment and review the available skill upgrades and perks between battles. In Defense mode, think about the drill as well as your hero: a choice that improves personal survival may still leave the objective exposed. Chests, rare keys and different worlds add further things to explore.
