Dead RoadSurvivors

Features

Everything on the dead road

Drive, ram and crash through the horde while your guns aim themselves. Get out to loot in first person, build a camp, bring a friend and come back stronger every run.

Steer, ram, survive

Arcade driving

Driving is the skill. The car has weight, body roll and real crashes, and the road throws everything at it.

The Dune Buggy from Dead Road Survivors: a roll-cage off-roader with red suspension, a roof minigun and jerry cans strapped to the back.
  • Arcade physics

    The car leans into turns, dips when it brakes, slows uphill and runs away downhill. The handbrake and hard slides leave black tyre marks.

  • Ramming

    Hit zombies fast to kill them. Fast ones get scooped up over the bonnet, and rams hit harder on the tougher stages, so the bumper never goes out of date.

  • Crash damage

    Trees, wrecks, houses and concrete roadblocks are solid. Crates, barrels and tyres get shoved about, and signs, fences and lamp posts snap off and fly.

  • Hills and jump ramps

    The land rolls in long hills, roads and all. Steel ramps and dirt kickers sit in the lanes: hit them fast for big air.

  • Nitro and Repair Pulse

    NITRO gives 45% more top speed for 3 seconds. REPAIR fixes 20% of the car and sends out a shockwave that throws back every zombie within 10 m.

  • Fuel

    A full tank lasts about six minutes flat out. Run dry and the engine cuts out: get out, find a fuel can in a house and carry it back.

  • Smoke, lights and wear

    The engine smokes grey, then black, then burns as the car takes a beating. Tail lights glow when you brake and headlights cut through rain, fog and night.

Six roof guns and more

Weapons on the car

The turret does the shooting so you can do the driving. Pick a roof gun, a rear weapon and two perks before every run.

See every gun, its unlock level and price in the garage.

  • Six roof guns

    Machine Gun, Shotgun, Flamethrower, Tesla Coil, Railgun and Laser, each opened by your Player Level and bought with Scrap.

  • Rocket Launcher

    Sits on the hood and fires four rockets at the thickest part of the horde, then reloads for 5 seconds. Rockets blow holes in house walls too.

  • Rear weapon slot

    A Mine Layer that drops mines behind you, or a Tail Gun that covers your back.

  • Survivor gunners

    Up to three rescued survivors ride in the windows with rifles, each covering their own side, and keep guarding the car while you're out on foot.

  • Real reloads

    Every gun has a magazine: 150 rounds for the machine gun, 12 shells for the shotgun, 5 railgun slugs, and a laser that has to vent its heat.

  • Every weapon kills its own way

    Bullets knock them back, flames set them running, the tesla coil locks five up shaking, the railgun tears a line apart and the laser cuts them in two. Big kills freeze the game for a blink and the phone buzzes with every hit.

Leave the car

On foot in first person

Stop the car, get out, and the camera drops into your soldier's eyes. A mini first-person shooter while the car waits outside.

The survivor soldier from Dead Road Survivors in front, side and back views, with a rifle, plate carrier, scarf and backpack.
  • Look, aim and shoot

    Drag to look, walk with the joystick, and the rifle fires when the crosshair is on a zombie. Head shots do double damage and a flashlight comes on at night and indoors.

  • Three guns, grenades, medkits

    An M4 with a 30-round magazine, a pistol that never runs dry, and a pump shotgun you can find. Grenades bounce, roll and blow holes in walls.

  • Search everything

    Shelves, tills, coolers, lockers, ammo crates and cupboards hold rounds, shells, grenades, medkits, Scrap or the shotgun.

  • Walk-in stops

    A gas station store, an army tent, a site office, a radio hut and a fallen shipping container, each with zombies asleep inside.

  • Alarms

    Rob the till or the safe and the siren goes off: a horde closes in from every side, so grab what you can and run for the car.

  • Run goals

    Rescue survivors waving from inside houses and carry fuel cans back to the car for Scrap and a bonus for the whole list.

No two roads the same

An endless world

The world is built around you as you drive: roads, forests, small towns, wrecks and places worth stopping for, on and on.

  • Four biomes

    Pine woods, desert dunes (zombies 12% faster), the frozen pass (the car slides, zombies slow down) and the ashlands (+25% Scrap).

  • Day, night and weather

    A whole day passes in six minutes. At night twice as many zombies come. Every run rolls its weather: clear, rain with lightning, or thick fog.

  • Places to loot

    A gas station, a military checkpoint behind sandbags, a scrapyard, a crashed army convoy and a radio tower that calls in supply drops.

  • Road events

    Ambushes, supply drops, blood rushes for double Scrap, roadblocks, fog banks hiding zombies and full hordes from every side.

  • AI Director

    Doing well brings more pressure. Nearly wrecked, you get a breather and a supply crate. Sit still too long and a mega horde comes for you.

  • Roaming herds

    Zombies stand and shuffle about the roads in groups, and herds of a dozen or more cross the map. Get noticed and the whole herd comes.

  • A living roadside

    Wrecks still burning, crows that scatter, power lines over the hills, rain that darkens the road and puddles in the ruts.

Build a home by the road

Survivor camp and base

Everyone you rescue moves into your camp. Build it up for bonuses that last every run, and defend its walls when the raids come.

The camp's base growing through five levels in Dead Road Survivors: Survivor Camp, Road Camp, Fortified Outpost, Survivor Stronghold and Dead Road Fortress.
  • Four camp buildings

    The Workshop (car health and ram damage), the Clinic (soldier health and medkits), the Armory (damage for every gun and volunteer gunners) and the Scavengers (Scrap while you're away).

  • Five base levels

    From a palisade with one machine-gun tower to concrete walls with four automatic railguns.

  • Raids

    Zombies hit the base every minute and a half or so. Drive back and repair it with the run's Scrap before it burns.

  • Walk in

    Get out of the car at the gate and it opens for you. Walk round inside among the tents, the buildings and the people who live there.

Bring a friend

Two-player co-op

Play with a friend, each in your own car, on the same Wi-Fi or online from anywhere with a join code.

Top-down co-op gameplay in Dead Road Survivors: two armored cars fire into a horde of zombies on a forest crossroads while a Brute closes in.
  • Same Wi-Fi or online

    Host on the same Wi-Fi with a 4-digit code, or online from anywhere with a 6-letter code.

  • Everything works together

    Clear houses side by side on foot, share run goals, and see the same road events, supply drops and looted places on both phones.

  • Revive

    If one of you goes down, the other pulls up and stops for 3 seconds to bring them back. The run only ends when you're both down.

  • Race head to head

    Race mode turns into a two-car race through 12 checkpoint gates.

Level opens it, Scrap buys it

Progression

No level-up cards mid-run. You go in with the build you prepared, like a mission, and come out with Player XP and Scrap.

    Health, armor, turret damage, fire rate, collision damage, nitro, repair pulse and the Rocket Launcher, five levels each and five more from Player Level 15.

  • Daily missions

    Nine groups with bronze, silver and gold medals and three secret ones, worth 1,295 Road Coins in all.

  • Collection

  • 12 leaderboards

    Survival solo and co-op, race, Road Trip, Base Defense, World Boss, kills this week and Player Level, weekly and all time. Every run is checked on the server.
