Zombie Horde: Build & Survive

Barricades go up, turrets swing into place, and the horde keeps coming anyway - that's the loop in Zombie Horde: Build & Survive, and if you're the type who'd rather reinforce a wall than run past it, this one's yours.

You're not just holding a gun here. You're shooting zombies with whatever weapon you've got while also placing turrets, barricades and traps around your base, which means every wave is half combat and half construction site. Miss a gap in your defenses and that's exactly where they'll pour through.

It runs free in the browser on Android, iOS or desktop, no download needed, so you can go from idle scrolling to base-building in about the time it takes to load the page. If turrets and traps are your thing, Trap Games and Horde Survival Games scratch the same itch, and Strategy games fans will feel right at home planning their next barricade line.

For something with more plant-based firepower against the undead, Plant Merge: Zombie War is worth a look too.

Defend your base from waves of zombies by shooting them down and building up your defenses before they break through.

On mobile, drag your finger on the screen to move your character in that direction. On PC, use WASD or the arrow keys to move around the base.

Between attacks, spend your time wisely - place turrets, barricades and traps to cover the weak points in your perimeter. A gap you ignore now is a gap the horde will find later.
