About this game
Zombie Tower Survivor is a top-down, tower-defense game with survival elements set during a zombie apocalypse. Customize a magic tower with various talents and upgrades to fend off the undead. As the zombie waves grow stronger, refine your defensive strategies and adapt to the increasing challenges.
Jump right into the action — choose your tower, which defines its unique features, main ability, and difficulty level. The tower shoots the zombies automatically, so you can focus on buying the upgrades and collecting treasure chests. The game is perfect for all experience levels. Just relax and immerse yourself in a survivor-like gameplay loop that's sure to boost your dopamine.
When you are ready for more, jump into Endless Mode where the waves never stop and the zombies keep getting stronger. Survive as long as you can and climb the global leaderboard to see how your build compares to players around the world.
Take on five increasingly tough difficulty levels. Your mission: survive each level and eliminate as many undead as possible within 20 minutes. Test out different combinations to conquer each difficulty level and kill every single zombie.
As zombies grow stronger, your tower must too! Use gold to buy a wide range of upgrades from the shop, which you can access anytime during the level. Enhance your defense with talents, buffs, auras, and effects. Open treasure chests as you play to get free upgrades. Collect skulls dropped by zombies and complete achievements to unlock new towers, upgrades, and talents for deeper build variety.
No two play sessions are the same. With plenty of upgrades, abilities, and towers to choose from, you can mix and match to create a unique strategy each time. Unlock everything to explore different combinations and find the best way to beat the zombies. Create a game plan that’s perfectly yours and discover the ultimate ways to pass all difficulty levels.

Demo Patch Notes 0.7.0.2: New Incremental mode with a large Skill Tree
We've added a new Incremental mode to the demo. It's focused on build variety (thanks to a massive skill tree), experimentation, and a faster pace.What you can expect from the new modeBuild around up to 4 skills, each with its own branching upgrade tree. Grow your tower through a massive main tree of upgrades and talents. There are 328 nodes across the full tree to explore.Pick your own progression paths and shape the build as you go. You can't take everything, so every build comes with real choices. Failed attempts still move you forward. Gold and Talent Shards carry through deaths and wave retries. Respec whenever you want and try a different approach. Faster, more dynamic runs, with pressure from the very start.The idea is simple: more builds to discover, more ways to progress, and more reasons to start another run. Try out the new mode and let us know what you think here in the comments or on Discord. If there's interest, we'll develop it further for the full version.Read full article on Community Announcements (AlexSloth(ZTS))Patch NotesOfficial
