Overview

Humans vs Hordes: Simulator is an intense, browser-based survival strategy game inspired by the classic Zombie Outbreak Simulator (2009). Take command of civilians, police, soldiers, and emergency teams as you fight to outsmart and outlast a relentless zombie horde. Experience a seamless blend of tactical management, dynamic outbreak behaviour, and striking visual feedback, all crafted to deliver a gripping survival challenge with deep strategic possibilities.

How It Works

Every play session unfolds on a dynamic outbreak map, supported by a responsive HUD and intuitive action panel. Deploy soldiers, call airstrikes, launch rescue helicopters, build safehouses, or unleash additional zombie threats for an extra challenge. Powerful simulation systems track survivors, infected, casualties, rescues, and combat stats as the city shifts between calm, chaos, and all-out battle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pause the game?

Yes! You can pause and resume at any time by pressing SPACE or clicking the pause button. Take as long as you need to plan your strategy.

How long does a typical playthrough take?

A single session typically lasts 15-60+ minutes depending on your playstyle and difficulty settings. Some players prefer quick 15-minute challenges, while others engage in extended 2+ hour survival runs.

Is there a tutorial?

Yes. New players start with an interactive tutorial that teaches you how to deploy units, use tools, and read the HUD. You can skip it anytime if you prefer to learn by experimenting.

Will this run on my laptop?

The browser version runs on any modern laptop with 4GB RAM and an updated browser. For best performance, we recommend a dedicated GPU and 8GB RAM. See System Requirements section for full details.

Can I customize difficulty?

Yes. You can adjust zombie spawn rates, unit effectiveness, and challenge modes. You can also enable "Survival Mode" for unlimited zombie pressure, or select timed challenge scenarios.

Does it work on mobile/tablets?

The browser version works on tablets with landscape orientation. Mobile phones can run it but the small screen may make control panels cramped. A dedicated mobile app is planned for future release.

Can I restart a game I'm losing?

Yes. You can restart at any time using the restart button in the HUD. You can also load previous saves (on desktop version) to try different strategies.

Is there a sandbox/creative mode?

Yes. In Custom Scenarios, you can spawn unlimited units and toggle zombie threats on/off to experiment with strategies without survival pressure.

How often do you update the game?

We release updates monthly with new features, balance adjustments, and community feedback. Check our Changelog or follow us on social media for latest updates.

Will this game run offline?

The desktop versions (Windows, macOS, Linux) run fully offline. The browser version requires internet connection to load, but no internet required during play.

Are there graphics settings?
