What Makes Zombie Fortress: Trap Defense Stand Out
BRAINSSS
The walking dead are on the move, and it’s your job to take them out in this zombie tower defense game that is chock full of collectible weapons and strategy. With each new zombie wave you’ll have a chance to merge weapons and move them around to find the best combos thanks to the simulator aspect of this zombie shooter game. Along the way, collect all sorts of exciting weapons, towers, equipment, and more to help you blast these zombies off the face of the earth.
THE BEST DEFENSE IS OFFENSE
This simulator strategy game will really get your gears turning! Each level will involve waves of zombies trying to attack your tower – your goal is to defend your tower and wipe these creatures out. Carefully pick your weapons, merge them to form powerful versions, and try moving them around with each new round to see how that affects the outcome.
Fantastic features:
-
Top strategy – Usually simulators are more mundane, like hotels, but who says they can’t be about the zombie apocalypse? Face your foes in abandoned lots and strategically funnel them towards all of your carefully placed weapons, while also making sure to maintain a good defense of your home base! This zombie shooter also allows you to change up the weapon placement in between rounds, adding an extra layer of fun as you try different methods and see which will ensure your survival.
-
Endless waves – What good is a simulator if you can’t actually test your great ideas! Thanks to the wave upon wave of walking dead, you’ll never run out of targets to practice on. Like all good zombie survival games you’ll have to make sure that you don’t end up as one the bad guys too, so make sure to shore up your tower defense.
-
Collectible fun – weapons, clothing, equipment, towers, you name it – you can collect it, level it up, and use it to fight back in this zombie apocalypse shooter! Use your gold and coin wisely to level up during rounds, and make sure you check out your inventory afterwards to see what all you got and how you can best use it in this survival game.
THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IS NOW
Grab your weapons, man the towers, and strike before they can bite! Combine survival games, strategy games, and tower defense games into one, add a hefty dose of zombies, and you’ve got Zombie Fortress! Collect weapons and try out various strategies as you fight off waves of the undead, and along the way enjoy building out your character and their tower. With great graphics and lots of customization, you won’t want to miss trying your hand at this game!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We really would have liked to have liked this game. Played for about an hour, watched about 45 min of ads.
The game is great until you get to we think level 5 then its just forced adds after adds. We get the adds make you money but why force them. Having adds with rewards makes sense forcing an add because we merged a tower is ridiculous.
The ad portrays a mazing game where you might place obstacles to guide the monsters through, and utilize the weapons in the game. But the zombies just walk up to your towers and start destroying them whether you are blocking the path or not. It turns a potentially awesome game of strategy into a mindless merging grinder better suited for some one who likes to see zombies die without having to think or act.
We really enjoyed this game, then we were presented with the No Ads promo, and it ruined the game. It became zero challenge and we lost interest immediately after. Unfortunately, it was a cash grab. Maybe others like how easy it is afterwards but it killed the fun for us.
Just charge us $10 to skip all ads and Ill be happy. Cant play again till they add that ability.
The game is really fun but the adds during gameplay that are not optional to watch kill the fun and make it boring we believe that if this is changed more people will stick to playing it.
Love the game please keep expanding the levels would love to crush 40 more.
Okay so, we love the game. Its fun. But an ad popping up at every corner is ruining our experience. We dont need to have forced ads ontop of the ads we have the option of watching. Not to mention its THE SAME ads EVERY time. And we mean EVERY time. 5 stars IF and we say IF the forced ads get removed and just leave the options to watch.
The game itself is awesome, so great job to the dev team. We were sad to see that we completed all levels and theres no way for us to go back and enjoy the content other than rerunning the final level. Just hoping new levels or game modes come out before we forget about the game and move on to something else. Went googling for a game roadmap but didnt find one. One small suggestion that we think would be cool is if there was a zombie counter in the corner of each level so you can see the number dwindle down as you take them out. Anyway, great game! Hope to enjoy it more soon.
We mean now we cant even get our cannon we retooled 50 times and now you wont even give us the cannon we have it equipped but all you give us is the freakin fly swatter or the cross now that only fires 1 freakin arrow or the trap you wont give us all the equipment we have equipped.
The game over all is decent but like most there is loads of ads. We even got an ad in a loading screen. Normally ads arent a big deal to us since you can pay a couple dollars to get rid of them but, from what we can tell this game does have a way to get rid of them.
So can we go back and replay levels? Cause there are no new levels after 40. About to uninstall if we cant at the very least replay old ones while we wait for some new ones.
Its just another game that is fun to begin, but the fun gets quickly lost when you just endlessly need to grind the same level to slightly progress, the unit selection randomization and prevention from adding towers doesnt even add to strategy but the need for more grinding, and you have to purchase the No AD function, otherwise you watch more ads than even play the game. Also only having so many points to play at a time will really only cause us to forget about playing it in a few days since Im more frustrated with it already. It could be really fun, but theres too many annoyances to keep trying to enjoy it.
We deleted an app similar to this after finding out it is a pay to win game. This had promise but the last update took away nearly everything good about it. Now its too difficult to pass levels, they took away two towers, and you have to pay money to upgrade. Dont waste your time.
We got a forced AD today. Thats a no no. Please dont give us the ADs keep the game free PR. If it kept it free then it wouldnt have a cash shop. Likes tv sub going up in prices and adding Ads to the paid ad free subs just to make a new teir sub with ads free for more money.
We have been having a good time playing it, but is stage 30 the highest it goes.
We have come to love this game. A lot of fun to play and a reasonable price to remove the forced ads. Suggestions to improve: 1. When you defeat a 7 boss, it took us a while to notice that the prize is hidden almost off screen and hard to drag. 2. Seems like lost opportunity to involve new strategies by placing towers in different spots. You cant get enough to towers on screen, even with the +500 ad view start reward, to make it make possible to defend more than one good stronghold within range of your hero. 3. Difficulty needs serious adjustment. Ive been on stage 30 for what seems like days and it never changes. You either get a good first draw of spike wall or spikey roller and can build from there, or you get nothing useful and have to watch the +500 ad. Either way, due to the way the zombies travel, the same strategy applies. We try to handicap ourselves and set challenges, but once you hit stage 7, if you dont have a standard defense in place, youll die. Make it way harder and punish people for doing a 2x spike wall with 2x spikey roller in front, with 2x taser trap in front. And then either an ultrasonic behind all or a log roller. Then add build up levels and add supporting rifles on the side of your 2 wide by 4 deep column of towers. 4. Equipment is a cluttered joke with no real useful purpose at this time, it seems. Ive only merged 1x and have 53 different cards. Take the card management system from Fortress Merge. It works really well and is much better. 5. Tower management is also a clunky mess to view what you have in terms of cards and stuff. 6. Make it HARDER!!!!! But also give enough towers to have a chance without having to watch and add if you draw a bad starting hand of 3 research! Lolz 7. Make 2x speed perm for a reasonable fee, like for no forced ads. At least you have a great time system that doesnt tick when you are away thank you for that! 8. Energy seems fine. You get enough diamonds to buy more if you really want to. Overall, we really do enjoy the game and encourage anyone to give it a try and burn it out after a few days and move on the next gameunless they add a new element soon or adjust mechanics and difficulty. Thanks dev team for a fun game.
You cant get past lvl 19 without buying something.
Only 30 levels, cant go back and play previous levels, arent any kinda challenge/hard modes, cant do quick search more than once, and need mods for towers. Overall great game. Just needs somethings added to it to make it even better. Cant wait for more updates.
We beat the first 30 stages of the game, but there appears to be nothing past that. Are there more stages? Also how do you even unlock challenge mode? We want to play more but Im jot going to repeat stage 30 a hundred times and we cant even play previous stages.
We hit level 30 and cant proceed any further.
Constant ads. Mid game ads not even attached to perks, ads pop up when are clicking through the main menu screen. Just ads constantly.. You are never safe. The game is fun when you can play it.
Its great, some forced 5-15 sec ads which is annoying, like 3 per level of 10 waves. Beat in 1.5 weeks and waiting on more than 20 levels.
Hello, we are kinda disappointed at this new update, overall we kind of liked it because of the new rarities and new upgrading method which helps use bolts better and you dont need to collect hundreds of cards for a better tower. However, there are some problems, we think it would be great if you could still go back to chapters youve completed as it has certain zombies that need to be killed for gems, there is also another problem of scouting. We dont know if this applies to everyone but we are at stage 30 and we receive very minimal rewards from scouting, about 1/10 of the stage every 8 hrs which means it will take about 3.34 days to get some rewards that are just from playing the stage once and completing it. There could be some stuff to add as we looked on other reviews and saw that some people lost their progress, we think this could be fixed by adding accounts we can maybe create so we can login and it is saved. We dont know if the scouting thing is bugged for us b/c we havent done previous stages to get more rewards in it or if it is universal. Sorry for the essay, we really love this game and would like to see it develop into something great. If youve read this far, Thank you.
It was fun till we had to start watching ad before level was done.
Fun game but forces you to watch adds that you cant exit out of even if you watch them all the way through.
Ive completed stage thirty empty park multiple times and it doesnt advance to stage 31.
Fun game until the mandatory mid level ads around level 5. Later, uninstalled.
Hate this update. Wish we could get a refund for the little bit of money we spent. This isnt the game we wanted to play. The upgrading of towers was needlessly changed. Thanks for ruining your own game for us, will be deleting.
You guys had a PERFECT little game and then you did this recent update and its not even fun anymore. We cant upgrade our character, we dont get buy as many towers so its not as much fun. There are 3x as many ads its just annoying now.
The game was very fun with a lot of strategic options it had its flaws but was pretty good overall then they recently updated it destroying the gameplay and making it extraos luck focused and we decided to uninstall. Hope they can fix things cause it can be a fun game.
You can barely play this game without getting bombarded with videos. It takes away from the game play, Its way too much. Shame on the developers.
Everything costs more now, towers removed, what the heck guys.
We came back after like a day and all of our stuff is now gone we were and still am extremely shocked by this even though we didnt have many hours in the game we still think that its kinda stupid that we lost everything.
Because of this new update all the towers, traps, etc that we use have been nerfed. The game was great before this update.
The tutorial is long, but it is good.
