Tower Defense: Zombie3D zombie tower defense with first-person action

Build a wall maze, set up turrets and hold the east gate against zombie waves — from above, from the turret seat or on foot.

A tower defense where you don't have to stay above the battlefield: build between waves, then take a turret yourself or grab an AK-47. Free to play in your browser.

A 3D tower defense where you can join the fight yourself

The zombies come through the doors in the outer wall. The town falls if a single one reaches the east gate. Between waves you have two minutes: draw walls to stretch the zombies' path, place turrets on the ground or on top of the walls and upgrade them.

Then the wave starts — and you choose how to fight. Stay in the top-down strategy view, jump into any turret and aim it yourself in first person, or take an AK-47 and a machete and fight on foot. Snipers in the watchtowers pierce every zombie in a line.

The waves never end. Every second wave brings a Brute that smashes turrets and can even throw them at the watchtowers. How long can you hold the gate?

Key features

  • 3 ways to play one battle: top-down strategy, first person from a turret, and on-foot infantry with an AK-47 and a machete or axe.

  • 6 zombie types: walker, fat, runner, armored, exploding boomer and the Brute boss on every even wave.
  • Wall mazes: stretch the zombies' path and put turrets on walls where ordinary zombies can't reach.
  • 2 sniper watchtowers with a scope — one bullet pierces the whole line.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tower Defense: Zombie free?

Yes, it is free to play in your browser on itch.io.

Can I play with friends?

Why does the first battle take long to load?
