- South Africa’s Mooncrust Games Unveils New Zombie Survival Game
- A mobile zombie defense game where you explore and build during the day and fight zombies at night.
South African indie game studio MoonCrust Games announced the zombie tower defense game ‘Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming’ .
The game is characterized by a departure from the conventions of the traditional defense genre, where players stay in one place to defend a base. Players experience a unique journey as they travel through various regions, repairing a broken-down camper and fending off relentless waves of zombies.
The developers stated that they were deeply inspired by the popular indie games ‘Thronefall’ and ‘Project Zomboid’.
‘Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming’ is currently under development with the goal of launching on the global PC game platform Steam in 2027. The official Steam store page has now opened, and users can add the game to their wishlist and receive the latest updates.
Repair the camper van and head to the next destination
The engine has broken down and the player is injured. The forest is not quiet. ‘Death Falls’ is a small-scale zombie survival strategy game that starts in this situation.
The setting of the journey changes with every location visited, ranging from a forest campsite and a roadside gas station to a small village where four roads meet. After defending each area, you repair the camper van and set off for the next destination. The developers introduced the game by stating that swarming hordes of zombies are lurking behind warm lights and secluded spots.
Build and explore during the day.
During the day, gather wood to repair the camper and build watchtowers in strategically advantageous locations. At the gas station, you can install an entire fence with gates in a single construction step. It is also possible to equip the camper with floodlights and roof guns.
If you go outside the camp and clear out a heavily guarded stronghold, you can obtain weapons from a locker. Examples of weapons introduced include pump-action shotguns, hunting rifles, flamethrowers, chainsaws, grenades, and stop sign shields. Weapons are not selected from a menu but must be found directly in the outside world.
At night, they fight directly on the defensive line.
When night falls, hordes of zombies surge in from multiple directions. Players must not merely watch from behind defenses but must step directly into the battlefield to support the towers by moving between access routes. It is also the player’s responsibility to prevent the infected from reaching the camper.
Special infected creatures also appear. Screamers drive surrounding swarms into a frenzy, while Bloaters approach defenses and explode. Brutes breach fences and push their way in. You must devise a defense strategy tailored to the characteristics of each infected creature.
You can recruit survivors to accompany you on expeditions or assign them to guard specific locations. While not under zombie attack, they repair damage and investigate nearby anomalies.
