About Fort Zombie
FORT ZOMBIE IS BACK!
Back by popular demand, the ground-breaking cult classic indie game that kick-started the modern Zombie Survival genre: Fort Zombie.
“We have one chance. Find a strong place, and band together. Build our defenses. Gather supplies. Arm ourselves for the fight and save as many souls as we can. Take back our town, our lives, our world from the hungry dark.
That wave will break over this town like a tsunami and take the last of us with them… unless we fight back.”
NOTE: THIS GAME IS THE ORIGINAL LEGACY CODE FROM 2009, RELEASED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PLAYERS WHO WANTED ACCESS TO IT.
WARNING: NO FURTHER UPDATES are planned for this version of Fort Zombie.
Fort Zombie was released in 2009 as a game without a genre: no one had ever attempted this combination of game mechanics before! It is a focused-scope, casual single-player RPG and strategy title of survival during an epic zombie Apocalypse.
The game world revolves around a single building – your Fort. Secure your base of operations and then spend the game visiting the mission-specific chunks of Piety, Indiana, the small American town that surrounds you. Search for weapons, supplies, ammunition and the most important resource of all—fellow Survivors.
Instead of a major city or a sprawling countryside, the player must focus effort on building up a single structure, finding and training Survivors to battle zombies, and venturing out into town on missions…all while the clock ticks steadily down toward zero hour, when an Apocalyptic wave of zombies from a neighboring city will crash over the town.
Targeted directly at the after-work gamer, Fort Zombie was the first debut of many game concepts and features that would be picked up and popularized in the games that followed afterward, including Day Z, Project Zomboid, Dead Rising, State of Decay.

Features
- Choose one of three buildings – the school, the prison, and the police station – as your Fort Zombie, each one with its own strengths and weaknesses!
- Real time movement and combat keep the tensions level high while trying to achieve objectives before your characters run out of ammunition, food, or luck!
- Dozens of zombie types, some with special abilities derived from their half-remembered lives before becoming undead!
- Piety, Indiana, a variable 3D town, created using Kerberos’ mix-and-match tile system, for maximum replayability. PhysX® engine adds to the mayhem!
- Dozens of town locations to search (stores, restaurants, gas stations, ruins, homes) and countless items to find and use in building up The Fort or building up your group characters (food, fuel, generators, tools, guns, etc.)
- “Collectible” NPC’s and Survivor families give players access to the Lore of the game, and unlock surprising new abilities—try to find them all!

a very buggy, yet fun game needs a lot of work mostly for the crashes. love this game reguardless
Buyer beware! Many players report not being able to launch the game, even despite attempted troubleshooting. I would like to also inform you that this seems to be entirely luck based, as even if you did have a potato of a pc, it still risks not running. Fortunately, with the attached specs you should be fine. I even used a third-party save editor, and modified game files, yet as far as game-breaking issues go I have so far faced none. Remember, this game is from 2009, and it is unique compared to major survival zombie games like 7 Days to Die, State of Decay, Unturned, or Left 4 Dead 2. Story: 2/10 (Small journal entries from the player character after each day, practically non-existent) Controls: 4/10 (Clunky, and the skill mechanic will make you think your aim sucks.) Graphics: 6/10 (Of it's time; however, Mirror's Edge released the year before and that game is gorgeous) Replayability: 7/10 (This game features a mechanic akin to 7 Days to Die, in which on Day 14 a wave of zombies attacks your fort, hence "Fort Zombie," and the game ends.) World Design: 6/10 (Structures will repeat, but each mission is procedurally generated) Sound Design: 8/10 (I will never not be te…
Awesome game. Sadly, it no longer works on Windows 10+ without doing a lot of work.
It's buggy. but it's that kind of game.
Years ago I had a potato PC that could run this game without it being a genuine headache. My friend TRIED to convince me to play it but I was like nah man this game sucks ass. Now years down the road I wanna play the game that sucks ass cause it sucks ass in a good way but it actually doesn't because it sucks ass so hard you have to perform surgery to get it to run, and in my case no amount of surgery seems to get this work of art actually functional.
Doing my part because the game currently doesn't work AT ALL for my PC and many others as you can see if you sort by recent. Would definitely be worth the two dollars if it did but it no longer functions and thus you basically pay two dollars for a crash screen.
