God Save Birmingham Turns Medieval England Into Zombie Chaos

Tired of the same old modern zombie shooters? God Save Birmingham is shaking things up, by taking the undead apocalypse all the way back to 14th-century England. Developed by Ocean Drive Studio, this gritty survival game throws players into the middle of a medieval Birmingham that’s being torn apart by a horrific plague. Only, this time, it’s not just disease, it’s the dead coming back to life.

|A Medieval Apocalypse You’ve Never Seen Before

Set during the time of the Black Death, God Save Birmingham reimagines what a zombie outbreak might have looked like in the Middle Ages. You’re not a soldier with a machine gun, you’re a regular survivor trying to stay alive with whatever you can find: muskets, makeshift melee weapons, and the environment around you. The city’s cobbled streets and wooden buildings become your battleground.

One of the coolest things about the game is its commitment to historical accuracy. The developers have recreated medieval Birmingham in painstaking detail. You’ll explore iconic landmarks like the Church of St. Martin in the Bull Ring, local smithies, bustling markets, and taverns, all while dodging or fighting off the undead.

God Save Birmingham leans heavily into physics based mechanics, giving you total freedom in how you approach each situation. You can shove furniture in front of doors, set traps, or lure zombies into environmental hazards. Every encounter can be handled in multiple ways, and the game rewards creative thinking and on the fly decisions.

|What’s Playable Now

Currently in Early Access on Steam, God Save Birmingham features a sandbox mode with about 25% of the final map and two playable characters. While it’s still in development, the devs are actively listening to community feedback and plan to expand the world dramatically.

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)

  • Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X

  • Memory: 16 GB RAM

If you’re into zombie games with a fresh setting, or just want to see what it’s like to battle the undead with a musket and a torch, this game is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
