Build. Bind. Hold the gate.

A voxel zombie strategy game for iPhone and Android. Bind the dead with serum, raise a village on a floating island, and raid rivals across one shared realm.

Free to play. In English, 繁體中文 and 简体中文.

Your workers died. Put them to work.

The fall took everyone. It left you a keep, three zombies and a foreman named Mort. One vial of serum turns a wandering corpse into a builder, a hauler or a soldier. Every other survivor in the realm has the same idea, and they can see you on the map.

A 3×3 island and a lot of decisions

You start with the keep and four empty pads. Fill them with the buildings that make scrap, timber, biomass and serum, and a Binding Pit to turn the wild dead into staff. Later you expand the island for more pads, take each building to level 5 and pick a path at levels 3 and 5.

  • Builds, research and binding run on timers while you're away.
  • Run the Scrapworks loud to produce 1.5× faster. The noise carries, and wild hordes follow it.
  • Beat a horde at your gate and the survivors join your horde.

Idle or puzzle, your call

Idle or puzzle: wait for strength to open the next system, or beat its Trial now. Before a build, a research or a binding, you play one quick puzzle. A better grade means a faster job and a better chance of a masterwork. Practise any of them in the Training Yard. The Daily Challenge gives everyone the same puzzle each day.

Plan the march one square at a time

Tap a village on the map and plot the route. Each step takes 5 minutes, and the last step decides which gate you hit. Loop around to the side it guards least. Win and you carry home 30% of their unprotected stock.

When they come, you get 30 seconds

If you have the game open when a raid lands, the fight waits for your orders. Drag your reserve onto the gate that's breaking, burst a spore cloud, call a volley or a rally cry. Lose, and you get a shield, a rally and 24 hours to take revenge.

Saturday night, the moon turns red

Every Saturday at 20:00 UTC the blood moon rises over the whole realm. Three waves hit every settlement, two hours apart, sized to your strength. Hold one, two or all three and it pays 5, 10 or 20 gold.

Squads that level up and mutate

Zombies fight in squads of up to six that earn xp and grow stronger each level. At level 3 every squad takes a mutation. Mix shamblers, runners and brutes, then send hunting parties after the wild hordes roaming the map.

A realm that never sleeps

Hundreds of settlements build, hunt and raid around you. Climb the leagues from Scrap to Warlord and put bounties on rivals. Every Monday the season pays out gold.
