One barricade. An army that never stops.
Dead Stand is an offline zombie defense shooter. Hold your position, build a squad, unlock heavier weapons, and survive endless waves.
CHOOSE HOW YOU SHOOT
Turn auto-fire on for automatic shooting, or switch it off and hold to fire. Tap or drag to focus your squad on the threat you want to stop. Music and sound effects have separate on/off controls.
BUILD YOUR ARSENAL
Work from a pistol through SMGs, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, rockets, and plasma. Keep improving plasma ranks after unlocking the arsenal. Recruit troops, train their damage, and reinforce your barricade with no designed upgrade cap.
GET STRONGER BETWEEN RUNS
Earn scrap from kills, waves, and milestones. Spend it in the Armory on permanent firepower, defenses, scavenging, and grenades. After defeat, start a new run or retry the current wave with your collected gear and earned cash. Progress is saved on your device.
FACE A CHANGING HORDE
Fight shamblers, runners, armored zombies, crawlers, and huge juggernauts that march through freezes and stuns. Big Brother joins from wave 10, Dad arrives at 15, and Angry Mom leads paired attacks from 20.
Starting at wave 8, the Rotary Reaper brings a minigun. Tap its exposed ammo drum during the warning, or time a grenade to interrupt its burst. Choose Easy, Hard, Extreme, or Nightmare difficulty.
USE THREE TACTICAL ABILITIES
Blast crowds with grenades, boost your guns with Overdrive, or deploy a three-person riot squad. These shield-and-baton guards fight up close and buy time, but heavy enemies can smash through them.
COLLECT UPGRADES DURING THE FIGHT
Tap glowing caches dropped by defeated enemies while the battle keeps moving. Rewards can grant several upgrade ranks, recruit specialists, strengthen defenses, or complete weapon evolutions.
PLAY OFFLINE
No account is required. This version has no advertisements or in-app purchases. Pause when you need to and return to your saved run. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes local progress; saves do not sync between devices.
Hold the line, recruit your squad, and upgrade against endless zombie waves.
