## What is Survival City?

Fight for survival in this zombie-slaying, post-apocalyptic mobile smash! Humanity’s time is running out… HOW LONG WILL YOU SURVIVE? 
Survival City is a completely new kind of zombie game - one that dramatically transforms between days and nights. 

Before sunset you’ll need to strengthen your base, set traps, and scavenge for weapons and survivors. When night falls your only goal is to survive, as hordes of zombies will clash with your fortress from all sides!

- Team up, chat and gain bonuses by working together with other players!
- Fight the night away - Command your group as you defend against the horde!
- Over 60 unique survivors to collect and join your cause, all with different personalities!
- Build your own survival base - place watchtowers, traps, and more!
- Dozens of different zombies are coming for you!
- More than 100 weapons to discover!

● HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE?! 
Discover more than 60 different survivors who can join your fight, each with unique stats, backstory and personalities. But stay alert! The walking dead will evolve and adapt to your survivors’ rag-tag battle tactics, with dozens of creatures emerging every night. Luckily, your scrappy squad has more than 100 weapons to fight against the hordes, along with sneaky spike traps, freeze contraptions, and flare guns.

● SCAVENGE. STRENGTHEN. SURVIVE 
Daytime is safetime for your squad of survivors. Send your team on quests for loot, weapons and recruits before night falls. Build and upgrade a sizable base for your savvy survivors, and pimp-out your army with super-weapons and stat buffs. Each time the sun falls your setup is put to the ultimate test. Actively position your team as the battle commences, protect exposed weaknesses in your fortification, and overcome the onslaught!

● DYNAMIC DOWNFALL 
Keep a keen eye on the weather as you survive through the seasons. Your zombie foes behave differently in different weather conditions, from snow to blistering heat, rain and more. 

● OUTLAST THEM ALL 
The fallout from the zombie apocalypse could be catastrophic! It’s survival of the fittest with pockets of resistance all over the globe, all competing as the enemy grows stronger each night. Become a legendary survivor by holding out longer than any other player!

There's no 'I' in teamwork and in this world there's no last man standing either! Join your fellow survivors here:
