What Makes Overrun Zombies Tower Defense Stand Out
Overrun throws you into a post apocalyptic world to manage a group of survivors while they are bombarded by attacking zombies in waves. Build the ultimate defense to hold them back. Use grenades, first aid kits, and other useful items to help your survivors while they fight for their lives.
PREPARE FOR BATTLE
A highly contagious virus has infected 99% of the population of the planet. Those that are infected become crazed, bloodthirsty monsters. As the leader of a brave group of survivors, it's down to you to prepare them to fight the hordes of zombies.
Each time you successfully complete a wave, your survivors will scavenge some loot from the battlefield. Often minor items like first aid kits and grenades but sometimes you find a real treasure like a cluster strike or napalm strike. As the waves go by you’ll eventually unlock these items to buy in the shop but it's still a great bonus.
BUILD THE ULTIMATE BASE
Unlock new structures as you progress through the waves and use them to improve your defenses. The undead approach from every direction so you’ll have to make sure you’re prepared for anything.
Each wave you complete rewards you with new structures and items to defend against the horde.
COLLECT USEFUL ITEMS & WEAPONS
Collect Z Bucks from every zombie you kill and use them to better prepare for the next wave. You can buy new items to use mid-wave such as explosives, distractions, power ups and much more. Alternatively you can use your Z Bucks to buy more defensive structures to protect your survivors from the hordes of zombies.
The weapon shop will restock its inventory every single wave, giving you the option of trading Z Bucks for a new weapon or two. Make sure you keep enough money saved up for that rocket launcher or 50.cal rifle you’ve always wanted.
MANAGE YOUR TEAM
New survivors will hear of your accomplishments with the zeds and may want to join your group. They will bring a weapon with them and will often have improved stats when compared to the survivors in your group. Careful though because you can only support a limited number of survivors so you may have to make a difficult choice.
You can also manage your group of misfits by levelling them up to improve their health and stats, giving them body armor, and healing them if they were damaged in the previous round. Doing so before starting a wave will give you a huge advantage as the zombies get harder and harder to kill.
FIGHT THE HORDE
Control where your survivors focus their firepower and move them out of tricky spots while they hold back the oncoming waves of the dead. Use grenades, molotovs and other useful items you have collected to help them fight off the hordes of undead.

Community Insight:
IM NEVER GETTING OVER THIS GAME IM NEVER BORED.
Ive spent at least 10-15 bucks so far cause we loveeeeee this game is a fun little game but Ive bought cash like two or three times and the removal of ads and we havent got any of that cash and we still have ads. So like please guys help out.
Good quality and responsive. Played for 4 hours straight.
Idk its just so fun we could play this for hours and w to the person that made this game.
Its been very fun so far. We can play on our free time.
We cant stop playing this game. Its so fun. Theres so much potential and it should be like in the top 50. In the world. But there is a little bug thats really annoying so they need to fix it.x.
10/10 love the idea if you guys end up actually going somewhere with this game this could be our favorite game hands down.
Enjoyed all aspects of this game.
This game has to be the best game Ive ever played.
Its ad free for free and its amazing but we would recommend making it more realistic.
We really like the game we give it a five star we like how the waves get harder and you can get money to buy more stuff and make it so you can also have more guys. Its really fun and we really recommend playing this game.
Very fun affordable prices and good quality.
New to the game but so far its fun. Havent had to worry about pesky ads coming out in the middle of our gameplay.
Really fun t.d game. We like the repair button after a wave so we dont have to manually rebuild our defense. The art style is nice to not another ad game. It actually has some work that was put into it.
Pretty easy and isnt repetitive.
This game is not only fun but amazing the graphics and quality are pretty good compared to a lot of other games we play and use to play.
Feels like Resident Evil for toddlers. We guess we like this game.
Turned out to be a pretty cool game.
This game is offline we can play it for hours W games.
Really a good game and we love it.
It reminds us of all the other base defense games we used to play its a lot of fun.
Fun premise good mechanics would be great with controller support.
Nice game to enjoy and pass time.
Cool game but controls are sticky.
Games amazing for what it has, crazy potential to any tower shooter and first person. Need more games like this that keep developing tower games into first person its very interesting and different.
This game is cool the developers should include multiplayer.
We like it. Its very easy to play and it to pass the time.
We Just Got our Survivor Band Made a Base we Used The Tutorial Anyways Cool.
We just started this game and Im obsessed rate it to aslo developers thank you for making this game.
Pretty good game we have play and has zombies 100 lot more better.
This game is amazing actually (gimme da helicopter).
The game is very fun and difficult from the other games.
You dont need wifi to play it lol.
The game is awesome, the first wave makes you think about your choices. The second round, just reminds you about the control survivor button. The other rounds are just harder, and you need some survivors for assistance.
We LOVE this game like we cant stop once you get it you cant stop.
The only ads Ive seen was for rewards.
We thought this would be a horrible mobile game but its actually good.
We like killing games.. But sometimes stressful- But its very fun.
Ok so there is this bug glitch where your survivor can get 56130% Damage Can you believe it Ok so how we got this glitch is we got the level 24 survivor and the marksman rifle thats it.
We love this game sure it has its ups and downs but its a nice build survival shooter game we like most the pleasure of seeing a team of survivors you can recruit them banish if you want bad move though but overall amazing game.
Good game, simple tutorial love it tbh.
Nice game to kill time. The game can be glitchy with movement but like we said good game to kill time.
We really like the game so we bought the no ads pack. It said our purchase was successful yet the option is still in the store and we still have an ad after most levels. It would be nice to see a fix for this.
When we were a little kid Im time and we are still playing it. We really recommend this game. If you are chilling and you wanna play a game this is the game for you.
We were at map 6 (Suburbs) after just finishing map 5. We were building a small protection square with stuff like barbed wire and things we usually use. We didnt notice that our survivors were being harmed until two of them died while we were building. In other maps, they were never harmed by any type of buildable item, so this was shocking to us. We went to go heal the dead ones after we removed the three remaining ones to find that they had completely disappeared- leaving us with 3/5 survivors in the barrack. We were able to keep the guns they were equipped with, but it was still very annoying since they were both high levels and good designs.
If you looking for a Game that Lets you Sit back and watch this is it ! And You can also control your Troops if you dont want to watch but its to easy in our opinion because Im on (map 8) Wave 126 with our first 6 hours playing and we have 4 Ray guns which are the strongest in game which does 999 Damage compared to what they start you off with are guns that do 7.0 damage and the ray gun has perks of instant kill and Hits multiple zombies but this is a cool game tho we wouldnt say its for Pro gamers or adults who game alot . We love how they built the game but decs focused to much on looks and not gameplay. This is a game for sore losers.
Fun time killer. Tutorial is a terrible.
Unless Im missing something, this game is way too easy. We beat the game with lvl 70ish survivors, and never needed to use any power ups, or spend money to level up our peeps. Even changed the game to hard in the settings. One of the levels we didnt even really watch the game and just kinda mindlessly mashed the start wave button till it got to wave 100. Now we have too much money. We can afford all the best weapons and turrets and traps, so the zombies never even get within sight of our survivors. Theres also a few bugs. Several of our survivors have suddenly died out of nowhere during the build phase. Or they arent even visible and will come sprinting from the edge of the map only to die when they reach the center. 4 stars being a fun free time waster. Would be 5 if there was any challenge to it.
Its a very cool concept and the system is very rewarding.
