About this game

Welcome to the real apocalypse. After Long Night is a sandbox survival RTS where you take on a world completely overrun by the undead. Scavenge a ruined city, build your shelter, and lead a survivor army in the face of overwhelming zombie hordes. Will you fortify your defenses—or strike first? The choice is yours.

Bad news: the city's crawling with zombies.

Good news: the whole place is a goldmine of resources. Skyscrapers? Break them down for bricks and beams. Street signs? Scrap metal. Abandoned cars? Take'em apart and haul the steel home.

In the apocalypse, "reduce, reuse, recycle" isn't a virtue—it's how you stay alive.

Fear comes from a lack of firepower. But you've got options. Train and command units with distinct roles:

Frontline gunners mow down the infected, RPG crews blast through zombies, and tanks roll through the undead like a wrecking ball. Let the roar of engines drown out the screams of the damned—because nothing says survival like overwhelming force.

No civilians to please. No happiness meters. Just survival.

Put every idle hand to work—craft weapons, grow crops, cook food, and build defenses. Raise walls, mount turrets, and create a safe haven sturdy enough to survive the endless nights.

When the radar turns red and the dead flood your gates, it's do-or-die time.

Strategize your defense: deploy barricades, place towers, organize units into specialized squads, and launch coordinated assaults. Infantry, tanks, artillery—your tactics decide who walks away from this fight.

Tired of fighting tooth and nail? Try Challenge or Endless modes—or go wild in Cheat Mode.

Spawn unlimited units, build the impossible, and bomb the zombie hordes just for fun. Or start your own post-apocalyptic cricket tournament. No rules. No mercy. Just chaos.
