World Z Defense - Zombie Defense

43 votes

World Z Defense - Zombie Defense lets you plan a strategy against the oncoming hordes of undead who are here to eat you and everything you hold dear. There's been a zombie outbreak, and you have no choice but to hold the line. The zombies are contained within the city, but you must work hard to keep them from breaching the barricades. You can enforce them, but you're better off eliminating the zombies as they get closer by calling any able-bodied soldiers to the frontlines. Using their different weapons, you must arrange them to destroy the zombies and buy time for their allies to lock and load.

About World Z Defense - Zombie Defense

We've seen people trying to defend themselves from zombies in multiple ways, and building a barrier is a classic one. In this game, your barrier is the main line of defense that protects any survivors from the zombie uprising. Your soldiers are capable enough to fire and take out the zombies as they approach, and even from a distance. However, bullets are finite, and soldiers need time to reload between volleys. You must use strategy and correct placement to make the most of your soldiers' shots so that the zombies can be swiftly dealt with before they overwhelm your defenses.

How to Play

World Z Defense - Zombie Defense is a 3D isometric defense game about fighting back the zombie hordes with the mouse. To interact with your units and the gameplay UI, move the cursor over to them and click the Left Mouse Button. Hold the button and move the cursor to drag the selected unit to where you want it on the field. Your units' reload bar will appear above their heads, and the barricade's health will appear when attacked. The goal is to defeat each wave of zombies. If the barricade falls, it's game over.

The main menu serves as a hub between waves, where you can buy more deployment spaces and new soldiers, and upgrade the ones you have. When you're ready, you can start the battle, and the zombies will start coming. When soldiers are on their base spot, they'll automatically reload one shot after another. When you want them to fight, you must move them from the base spot to an empty spot on the field. You'll be able to see their field of fire, and once they're deployed, they'll fire all their shots at the nearest targets and into the distance, before returning to base. You can deploy multiple soldiers at once as long as they have shots to fire. Zombies will approach and, depending on their type, can be faster or tougher. Keep slaying zombies until the wave is defeated, and you can collect coins from your victory.

Tips and Tricks

Timing is the biggest issue when planning an attack since your soldiers will all need plenty of time to reload a sizable number of shots to be effective. You should always have at least one soldier in reserve who is constantly reloading shots, and then rotate duos in and out of deployment. Ensure you buy more base spots before moving on to soldier upgrades.
