Looking for a quick strategy game? Tower Defense Zombies runs in the browser and needs no download. The core of it is zombie, strategy and sandbox & building. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Tower Defense Zombies
Get ready for hordes of zombies that only care about eating brains! Use your brain against them and build your defenses. Create towers of mass-zombie destruction to confront various enemies.
How to play Tower Defense Zombies
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select units and place buildings |
| Left click | Confirm placement |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Plenty of strategy games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Tower Defense Zombies does not — it is playable from the first second. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
