Dead City: exploration and zombie survival in Zombra
The Dead City combines exploration, zombie waves and helicopter rescue. In Zombra, you land to survive until the aircraft returns, then need to reach it to complete the mission.
Survive until the helicopter returns
The Dead City mission begins with a helicopter arrival in a zombie occupied area. You land and fight waves while waiting for rescue. The map lets you move through streets and explore buildings, with enemies competing for the same space.
Where you fight affects the route out. A seemingly clear street can fill with more zombies, and staying in one place may stop working as pressure increases. During the match, you need to follow the horde’s movement and keep routes open for your survivor.
Search houses and prepare your equipment
You can search Dead City houses for resources. Entering a building gives you an opportunity to prepare for combat, but it also calls for watching the entrances and events outside. Exploration belongs to the survival experience, with time and space contested by the horde.
Between waves, the weapon machine lets you buy equipment. The arsenal includes melee weapons, firearms, explosives and traps, alongside each class’s exclusive weapons. Compare range, fire rate and damage to choose a response to the next wave’s threats.
Waves, bosses and cooperation
Waves become more dangerous as the mission advances, with a boss at the end of each one. Enemies behave differently: some approach slowly, others run or use attacks that call for a different fighting distance. The bestiary helps you learn those differences before facing them.
You can play alone or form a group of up to four players in total. In online co-op, each participant chooses a class. The squad can combine healing, weapons and explosives to clear a path and cover a teammate; coordination depends on the players’ decisions during the match.
The last wave leads to extraction
Defeating the final wave leaves one more step. Extraction starts with a minute and a half to board the helicopter. Zombies remain in the city during that movement. Leave your fighting position and reach the aircraft before the deadline.
The Dead City brings together Zombra’s zombie survival loop: land, explore, prepare equipment, fight waves and complete the extraction. The game is in development. Its devlog presents missions and features for players who want to explore the experience before release.

Sobreviveu? Agora corre!
Tô construindo o Zombra. Na Cidade Morta, você chega de helicóptero e precisa segurar as ondas até o resgate. Parece tranquilo, né?

A horda cresce, os chefes aparecem, e aquele lugar que parecia seguro vira a pior ideia da sua vida.
Você pode ir sozinho ou com até três amigos. Um segura o caminho, outro cobre a fuga. Na teoria. Na prática, todo mundo grita.
E sobreviver às ondas não encerra a missão. O helicóptero voltou? Corre até ele, porque os zumbis também querem pegar carona!
Quem do seu grupo ia ficar pra trás? Segue o Zombra pra acompanhar o projeto. Mais em zombra ponto online!
