It just so happened that you met the beginning of the zombie apocalypse in the middle of the night forest. Running away from zombies, you accidentally stumbled upon a lonely hut hidden in the very center of a forest full of walking dead. What was the surprise when you found out that there is a fortified basement under the hut, which has everything you need for survival. And from that moment your story begins... The main goal is unchanged - to survive at any cost! During the day, you are engaged in arranging your new shelter, building fortifications, additional rooms and walking around in search of resources, food, equipment and weapons. At night, you will have to defend your shelter from hordes of hungry zombies. It depends only on your actions whether you will be able to meet the new morning. But as soon as you settle down and get stronger, it will be time to find salvation from this cursed forest. Game Features: - the character editor will easily allow you to create a unique appearance for your hero; - a huge explorable map with many locations available to visit; - construction of various fortifications protecting the bunker from uninvited guests; - the ability to create additional rooms that expand the capabilities of your bunker; - discover new locations on the map by searching for distress signals on the radio; - a merchant with a daily updated assortment of goods; - fighting arena with various prizes for defeating zombies or wild animals; - random daily events that can make it difficult or significantly easier to survive; - the ability to build and improve vehicles for faster movement through the forest; - a competent economy (you can sell and exchange items found in raids, vegetables grown in greenhouses or medicines created in a laboratory); - distribution of energy inside the bunker using a fuel generator, solar panels and wind turbines; - gain experience for completing tasks, killing zombies or reading books; - the distribution of experience between the five characteristics of the character and the acquisition of special skills; - a full-fledged player's inventory with the ability to equip up to five items of clothing and two weapons; - 50 units of various weapons (one-handed, two-handed, stabbing, pistols, submachine guns, revolvers, shotguns, automatic and sniper rifles); - 160 items of clothing, differing not only in appearance, but also in the level of armor; - 90 consumable items (resources, ammo, food, healing items, books, seeds, car details and crafting parts); - the ability to improve weapons and clothing; - time is the main resource (each action requires time, your main task is to correctly distribute the remaining time before nightfall). I wish you a pleasant survival! ## Key features - Character customization - Explorable map with multiple locations - Base fortification and room expansion - Resource gathering and crafting - Vehicle building and improvement - Combat with diverse weapons - Daily events and merchant ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 1000 coins | $0.99 | one-time | | 2500 coins | $1.99 | one-time | | 7000 coins | $4.99 | one-time | | 15000 coins | $9.99 | one-time | | Disable Ads | $2.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of Zombie Forest 3?

It’s super addictive! ### 5/5 — My go-to Time Machine *2026-08-24, version 1.0.26* Whenever I have a particularly long journey I replay this and it absolutely flies by; the mechanics are simple to learn but satisfying and the looping loot/build/sell system is hugely addictive - I hope beyond hope there’s more to come in the future of this game but will absolutely be replaying it regardless! (this is about to be my fourth playthrough I’m so sorry it took this long to leave a review) ### 4/5 — GREAT ZOMBIE GAME!!! *2026-08-23, version 1.0.26* Really love the whole atmosphere of the game, Mechanics are fun and there’s no annoying wait times. But please, I would actually consider spending money on this game if you made it possible to recruit companions to the bunker :)))) ### 5/5 — Интересная игра *2026-08-21, version 1.0.26* Очень интересная игра без интернета, надеюсь данная игра будет развиваться в лучшую сторону. ### 5/5 — Really Enjoying the Game, Just a Few Small Issues *2026-08-16, version 1.0.26* Hi! Thank you for making such a fun game! I really enjoyed playing it. I noticed a few small issues, though. The controls on the map sometimes feel a bit unresponsive, and there are times when I hold a button but nothing happens. It would also be great to see controller/gamepad support added in the future. Thanks again for the great game! ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2026-08-15, version 1.0.26* I have really enjoyed the game thus far. I look forward to progressing and seeing more of the game. However there are a few things I would like to see. Firstly, I would like to see an increase in movement speed. I feel the walking through levels feels pretty sluggish. The other is that crawlers feel impossible to kill without taking damage. Lastly, I would like to see the more upgradability of the base. Upgrade rooms for more effocinecy, upgrade the doors and walls to increase defense against attack, stuff like that. All in all, it’s a great mobile games and look forward to future updates. ### 5/5 — Translation I want to know when the game will release the next chapters soon. *2026-08-13, version 1.0.26* The game is very good, but can you update the new chapters very quickly? ### 4/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-05, version 1.0.25* A great game and it is free! The IAP is completely optional and there if you want to support the developer. What’s also great is that the game has two difficulty levels. One for casual players and another one life only mode for players looking for a challenge. There are some odd design choices hence the 4 stars. I really wish the game would tell you how much each item is worth since inventory space is already so strict. The merchant having limited funds is more annoying than immersive. Lastly to upgrade any equipment to 3 stars is annoying, considering loot is random. It can take forever to finally get the best weapons and armor. I look forward to when act 2 is released. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-05, version 1.0.25* Alot of fun, and I look forward to the next Act ### 4/5 — Worth a download *2026-08-04, version 1.0.25* I was just doom scrolling looking for anything to pass time. Well, I’ve been letting time pass by too much. Great game. Very very few bugs. So far this seems like a seal for the content you get to experience and the fact that the game is free. Can’t wait to see where this game goes! Thank you devs! ## Frequently asked questions about Zombie Forest 3 ### What is Zombie Forest 3: Underground about?
