City Defense Z: Return to the Original Demo! 🧟‍♂️

[p]Greetings, fellow survivors!

Throughout the development of City Defense Z, we have tested many different demo versions. We participated in various events with each one and carefully examined the feedback we received from you. After all these experiences, we have decided to return to the original demo version, which was the most loved and built on the strongest foundations.
[/p][p][/p][h3]City Defense Z is going back to its roots![/h3][p]This version brings back the core and exciting experience where you place buildings using cards, defend your city against zombies at night, and make meaningful decisions at every step. During the day, you build barracks, factories, and ammo workshops using the cards you receive.By merging buildings of the same type, you upgrade them, balance your resources, and prepare for the night. But when night falls, zombies attack in unforgiving waves.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]From now on, we will continue our development process based on this original demo version.This is the beginning of a new chapter in which the game has a clear vision and steady progress shaped by your feedback. Your comments and playtest insights were the biggest influence in making this decision. So this is not just our decision, it is a collective one. 🤝[/p][p][/p][p]Your support means a lot to us. With new content, improvements, and surprises on the way, we will continue shaping City Defense Z together.
[/p][p]Stay with us, keep sharing your thoughts, and let’s build this game as a community. 🧟‍♂️[/p][p]

City Defense Z Demo Will Be Removed on March 28, 2025

Dear survival experts,

We’d like to let you know that the City Defense Z demo will be removed from access on Friday, March 28, 2025, as its time has come to an end. But don’t worry we’ll be back with brand new content! 🎉

There are two main reasons behind this decision:

1. The Demo Gameplay Loop Is Outdated
Our gameplay loop and core mechanics have evolved significantly since the demo was first released. We believe the experience offered in the current demo no longer accurately reflects what players will enjoy in the full version.

2. The Demo Lacks Key Content
Since the demo's launch, we’ve added a ton of new features and improvements that have taken the game to a whole new level. Defense strategies have changed, resource management has become deeper, and city building is now much more satisfying. Plus, new types of zombies are on their way!

Until March 28, you can still download and play the demo. Your support means the world to us, and your feedback has been incredibly helpful in shaping the game’s development.
When we return, it’ll be with a bigger, better, and even more immersive game!

Until then, stay alive and keep defending your city! 🏙️🧟
