10 Zombie Games for Horror Fans to Experience for Free


It is well noted that the horror movie industry does not lack for zombie titles. There are 100s to choose from: Some good, some bad, and some so bad they are good. But the wide choice available is nothing compared to the number of zombie game titles out there on the internet. There are literally 1000s of zombie games to choose from. Spoilt for choice? Perhaps. But there is a lot of dross out there.

Below, we will count down ten titles that are worth playing. Note that the titles are all free-to-play, although some might require an account or later prompts for in-app purchases. Here’s the list in no particular order:

  1. Unkilled

A cracking Zombie MPS (Multiplayer Shooter), Unkilled invites you to team up with your buddies to hunt zombies in a dystopian New York City. It’s big and bold, and a little bit silly, but it’s arguably the best all-rounder zombie game for smartphones and tablets.

  2. Dead Venture

With graphics and style lying somewhere between Lego and Minecraft, Dead Venture is pretty mindless fun. However, it gets harder as the levels progress. Our main criticism of Dead Venture is that it’s a little bit short. Still, it’s plenty of fun.

  3. Plants Versus Zombies 2

The most successful game on this list, Plants Versus Zombies 2 is a viral hit (over 20 million downloads). The key to enjoying the game is embracing the silliness, amassing your army of plants to thwart the army of zombies. It’s aimed at kids, but adults can enjoy this one too.

  4. Taco Fury XXXtreme

A fun-filled zombie food mash-up from NetEnt, Taco Fury XXXtreme is a charmingly silly title that invites players to spin for exploding wild symbols, bonus features, and gory hits. A crossover with zombies and Mexican food might seem a little strange, but this slot title is a winner.

  5. Last Day on Earth: Survivor

Let’s move away from the silly zombie games to something a bit darker – Last Day on Earth: Survivor features a lot more blood and guts than the other games on this list, and it has a more compelling storyline woven through the gameplay. A good choice for fans of serious zombie movies.

  6. SAS 4: Zombie Assault

A big, boisterous game that marries fast-paced action with strategic gameplay, SAS 4: Zombie Assault is a must-play for those who like action horror. Full of explosions, guts, and gore, you’ll be able to customize your character and grow with the game.

  7. Dead Frontier 2

Perhaps the darkest title on this list, Dead Frontier 2 invites you to scramble to survive in a zombie-ridden apocalypse. The key to this one is the social interaction with other players, with whom you can trade, learn, and upgrade your skills for the looming battle with the undead.

  8. Codename CURE

Play with up to five friends in this co-op title, where you will strive to cure the blight of the undead by planting bombs around the city. Codename CURE is a solid option for those who enjoy tactical games, although it is a little bit light on the slashing and gore.

  9. Zombie Highway 2

What’s the best way to kill zombies? Run ‘em over with your car. That’s just about all you need to know about Zombie Highway 2, as the title suggests. It’s a little bit repetitive, but it is also unnervingly addictive.

  10. No More Room in Hell

This is a sophisticated and complex title, particularly for a free-to-play game. No More Room in Hell delivers on some of the realism of zombie movies, notably that provisions and ammo are scarce. You can play with up to eight friends, strategically charting your way through the maps to escape the apocalypse.
