Trail of the Dead: a soldier faces a horde of zombies on a city road while a jet and a helicopter fly overhead

Free to play · Desktop and mobile

Hold the road.
Don't let them drop the nuke.

You're our last hope. Shoot your way through endless waves of the dead, scavenge supplies, call in air strikes and get the humvee running. If you don't make it, we drop the nuke. Good luck, soldier.

Your objective

Survive

Hold the road

The dead never stop coming. A new wave starts every 30 seconds, and every wave is faster and hungrier than the last.

Call in air support

Send a gunship to clear the road. Hold up to three strikes and earn another for every 40 kills.

Drive the humvee

Pull parts from wrecked cars, fire up the humvee and plough straight through the horde. Watch the armor.

Scavenge supplies

Medkits, ammo, food, clothes and the occasional bazooka. Grab them before they scroll off the road.
