Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville

About this game

It's been a few years since the zombpocalypse turned the world's cities into graveyards and sent the few survivors into hiding. Now you must gather them up and restore civilization to a ruined city, one building at a time.

Rebuild 3 is a strategy sim game with a good helping of narrative and dark humor. It's a thoughtful game that'll make you fond of your survivors before you send them to their deaths for the greater good. As you expand your fort to new buildings, you'll decide between farms or fortifications, housing or hospitals, and make tough decisions to fend off raiders, illness, starvation, and madness. And the dead are still out there wandering the streets, hungrier than ever.

Ratings and reviews

Rebuild 1 was a darling in the era of free flash games. Its successors have managed to take that already enjoyable game and make it amazing. Rebuild 3 is on the complex side for a game you can take a few minutes at a time. The story mode is excellent and the quick play makes building a lasting team a fun long term goal. Deluxe is pay to win, there's no denying that, but it's done in a fun way.

Really good and fun game, I sort of burned out on it but that's just me. If you like Strategy managing games with good dialogue then you found your game also it's nice to see a game that feels complete for once. Picked it up again recently and quite saddened by the fact my save wasn't automatically saved, I suppose I'll get to rediscover this gem again.

Good game, definitely worth the price tag. I like the strategy behind dealing with Gangs and micromanaging survivors. I would often find myself trying to expand as fast as possible to cut off other gangs from expanding. First 2 difficulties are easy, I recommend playing on the 3rd if you dont want to just breeze through the game, otherwise its easy to get an abundance of resources and you will nearly never lose survivors. If not for gangs the game would be dry and repititive by the 3rd city.
