Zombie Rails
Zombie Rails puts you on a steam train crossing 80 km of zombie-infested desert on the way to Mexico. You'll hop off to loot towns for coal and bonds, sell your finds at the General Store, then climb back aboard before the zombies catch up.
When night falls, the danger gets serious — you'll need to hold the line and keep the furnace fed to keep moving. Zombie Rails online is free to play, needs no download, and works right in your browser on phone, tablet or computer.
With towns like Dusty Gulch, Tombstone Flats and Dead Man's Bend along the route, every stop is a chance to grab loot before the train brakes and moves on without you.
