Undead Invasion

A tactical roguelike shooter where every wave tests your limits

Undead Invasion delivers a gripping blend of side-scrolling gunplay and strategic defense building, placing players in a homeland on the brink of collapse. What begins as a simple stand against zombies quickly evolves into a high-pressure survival mission shaped by unpredictable upgrades, limited resources, and daily waves that escalate without mercy.

With its ruined orphanage serving as both headquarters and final line of defense, the game creates an atmosphere of constant urgency - every decision, upgrade, and structure determines how long the walls will hold.

A headquarters in ruins: The orphanage under siege

Your base is more than a menu hub - it’s a living environment that reflects your fight for survival. As you strengthen its failing rooms and fortify key entry points, the orphanage gradually becomes your strategic centerpiece. Each improvement buys you another day; each misstep brings the undead closer to tearing everything apart.

The sense of pressure is intentional. With resources stretched thin and waves growing stronger, long-term survival hinges on how you balance firepower, defenses, and risk.

Wave defense with constant adaptation

Every shift in Undead Invasion challenges you to respond quickly. New zombie types arrive with behaviors that force you to re-evaluate your setup, your weapon choices, and the upgrades you invest in. Each day represents a new level of danger. Enemies hit harder, push faster, and demand sharper reactions. Wave management quickly becomes a game of prediction and preparation.

The currency you earn fuels your entire run—weapon upgrades, structure repairs, trap placements, and purchasing new tools. Spend intelligently, or your defenses will crumble when the undead surge in full force. Survival is never guaranteed. One breach can topple your carefully layered fortifications and end the entire run.

Combat flow and control precision

The action is fluid, swift, and reactive. Mastering your tools is essential:

Click – Fire your weapon
[Q] – Swap to another gun
[E] – Quick knife strike
Numpad 1 – Deploy a bomb for crowd control
Fence Icon – Build structures
[R] – Reload
Spacebar – Kick and create space

Each command plays a key role in keeping your perimeter intact, especially once waves begin swarming from multiple angles.

Every run counts: Unpredictable growth in roguelike play

No two attempts at defending the orphanage feel alike. Randomized upgrades modify your damage, fire rate, defensive strength, and weapon synergies. Sometimes you'll evolve into a high-damage powerhouse; other times you'll rely on durable traps and layered barricades to survive. This shifting progression ensures every run feels fresh, pushing you to constantly rethink your approach and maximize whatever resources you receive.
