Fight the dead

Fight the dead - Play Online

Dark fantasy warfare. Choose humanity or the undead. Fight the dead throws you into an eternal conflict where every swing counts. Wave-based combat. Upgradeable allies. Tactical chaos.

How to Play Fight the dead

The Mission: Pick a faction. Humans or skeletons. Your choice shapes everything—hero appearance, available allies, battle style. Survive endless waves. Push back the horde. Crush commanders. Simple goal: Don't fall.

Core Combat Loop

Move with WASD or arrows. Press Spacebar to swing your sword. Normal strikes handle grunts. But waves get dense. Hold Left Shift for spinning attacks (unlock this first). Spinning clears crowds. Infantry rushes you. Archers stay back. Mages throw spells. Leaping skeletons close gaps fast. Each enemy type demands different timing. Don't tunnel vision on one target.

Army Upgrades

Recruit allies mid-battle. Archers pin ranged threats. Mages deal area damage. But they're weak without upgrades. Spend resources on three stats: Health (yours and theirs), Damage (hero output), Ally Damage (squad power). Balance matters. A tanky hero with glass cannon allies dies fast. Strong allies with a weak hero can't clutch.

Wave Strategy

Branching paths show up between waves. Choose routes carefully. Some paths give easier enemies but worse loot. Others spawn elite units with upgrade drops. Early game? Farm safe routes. Build your base stats. Mid-game? Risk the hard paths. Late game demands maxed allies. Focus fire archers first—they shred health bars. Use terrain. Corners force enemies into tight groups. Perfect for spin attacks.
