Brookhaven
Brookhaven - Play Online
If you've ever played the peaceful Roblox Brookhaven town simulator and thought "this needs way more zombies," well, here you go. This is a third-person zombie shooter that drops you into a Brookhaven-style city overrun by the undead. Your goal is simple: blast through waves of green zombies, rack up kills, earn ranks, and unlock better guns. It's horde survival stripped down to the basics—no crafting, no story, just you versus an endless swarm.
Key Features
- Rank Progression System: Earn XP by killing zombies and level up through 15+ ranks to unlock new weapons.
- Works on Anything: Low-poly graphics mean it runs smoothly on older phones and basic laptops without lag.
- Wave-Based Combat: Each round sets a kill quota—hit your target to move to the next wave with tougher enemies.
- Multiple Weapons: Start with a pistol and work your way up to rocket launchers and heavy guns as you rank up.
How to Play Brookhaven
Jump in and start shooting—there's no tutorial, just you and a street full of zombies.
Master the Movement and Shooting
You control your character with WASD keys on desktop or a left joystick on mobile. The camera follows behind you in third-person view. On PC, just aim with your mouse and click to fire. On mobile, you get a right joystick for shooting plus an auto-aim button that locks onto the closest zombie—lifesaver when you're surrounded. Keep moving because standing still means getting swarmed fast.
Clear the Kill Quota
Every wave gives you a target number displayed in the top-left corner, like "Killed 4/15." You need to mow down that many zombies to advance. The green-skinned enemies shuffle toward you in groups, and while they're slow individually, they overwhelm you with numbers. Circle-strafe around hordes, back up constantly, and don't let them corner you against buildings. There's no ammo counter I could see, so just keep firing.
Rank Up and Unlock Arsenal
Each completed wave awards XP that pushes you toward the next rank. The rank badge on your screen shows your current level—I saw Rank 1, Rank 10, and Rank 15 during my time playing. Higher ranks unlock new weapons that appear in a selection menu. Click the available guns to equip them before the next wave starts. Better weapons mean faster kills, which you'll need because later waves throw more zombies at you.
Who is Brookhaven for?
This is aimed squarely at younger players—probably ages 8 to 14—who want quick action sessions on mobile or low-spec devices. If you're looking for a five-minute adrenaline burst between classes or during a commute, it delivers. The simple controls and forgiving difficulty make it accessible for kids, though anyone expecting depth or strategy will bounce off hard. It's not challenging in a skill-based way; it's just about shooting the same enemies over and over.
The Gameplay Vibe
The vibe is pure arcade repetition. The low-poly aesthetic looks exactly like basic Roblox games—blocky characters, flat textures, zero shadows, and sterile city streets. There's no music that stood out to me, just gunfire and zombie groans. It feels less like a polished indie game and more like a user-made experience you'd find browsing community servers. The action is constant but monotonous—zombies spawn, you shoot them, repeat. There's no environmental destruction, no variety in enemy behavior, and the city map feels static and empty aside from the horde. It's functional but forgettable.
Technical Check: Saves & Performance
The game saves your rank progress automatically through browser storage, so you can close the tab and come back later without losing your level. Just don't clear your cookies or you'll start from scratch. Performance is solid—the stripped-down graphics mean it runs at a smooth framerate even on older Android phones or budget Chromebooks. I didn't experience any crashes or stuttering, which is honestly the game's biggest technical win.
Quick Verdict: Pros & Cons
It's a no-frills zombie shooter that does exactly what it advertises, nothing more.
- ✅ Pro: Instant action—no downloads, no account required, just click and start blasting.
- ✅ Pro: Runs perfectly on weak hardware, making it accessible to anyone with a browser.
- ❌ Con: Gets repetitive fast—the enemy variety is nonexistent and the map never changes, so boredom sets in after 10 minutes.
Controls
Controls are responsive but basic—no sprint, no melee, no dodge roll. Just move and shoot.
- Desktop: WASD to move, mouse to aim, left-click to shoot, P to pause.
- Mobile: Left joystick to run, right joystick to shoot, swipe right side of screen to look around, tap auto-aim button to lock on.
