Train Defense is an exciting zombie game that combines the thrill of survival games where you defend yourself against a zombie horde with traveling on a train in a post-apocalyptic world! You're a brave survivor: protect the train and its passengers from the zombie tsunami, fortify the walls, get to the rescue, and don't let zombies infect you! - Zombie defense! Here you should revolve around defending a train from a zombie horde. Your main task is like in a casual zombie shooter game – dunk all the zombies! This is the only way to survive the zombie attack! There are many opportunities to survive, use them all! - Build a train! To enhance your chances of survival, strengthen the train by upgrading its defense power and weapons. As you fight through the levels, you earn gold that you can use to rebuild fortifications. Zombies are very hungry and will show up everywhere. A zombie crowd can break fragile walls, so save up time and resources to rebuild them! Build fortifications and obstacles to prevent zombies from getting on your train. - Heaps of locations! The train moves through different locations: from abandoned cities to desolate highways! But there are practically no people left – you're the last survivor. Almost every location is infested with zombies. - Different weapons! Use various weapons and defense mechanisms to keep the zombie horde at bay while ensuring the train continues on its journey. - Powerful bosses! In addition to regular zombies, the game also features powerful bosses that must be defeated to progress through the levels. You must use all their skills and resources to defeat them and protect the train! Train Defense is an incredibly fun and engaging zombie game that combines elements of zombie defense and survival games. So if you're looking for a new mobile game to play, give Train Defense a try and see if you have what it takes to survive the war Z against the zombie horde."
