Zombie games

Are you too, like billions of other people around the world, passionate about horror movies and games? Do you have a particular fondness for stories that have zombies as protagonists? Well, I have some tips on how you might enjoy yourself over the next few days.

Below, in fact, you will find a series of zombie games that you can download on your PC, on your smartphone or play directly online at no cost. There are many shooters and FPS but also strategy games and other very original titles that I highly recommend you to try. So what are you waiting for?

If you are looking for online zombie games that you can play directly from your browser, I recommend that you take a “trip” to Kongregate . If you follow me closely, you already know that it is one of the best Flash games sites where you can find a wide range of free titles of all kinds, including those with a zombie theme. I’m not just talking about fast-paced shooters, but also strategy games, RPGs and even some racing titles.

To play, all you have to do is click on the preview image of the video game to be launched and wait a few seconds for it to load. If you want to keep track of the progress made in the various games and want to participate in multiplayer titles, you must create a free account on Kongregate by clicking on the Facebook button located at the top and fill in the form that is proposed to you.

There are also other free browser-based zombie games to keep in mind. One of them is Shambles , which was developed in just 7 days by Markus “Notch” Persson, one of the creators of Minecraft. It is a first-person shooter with retro-style graphics in which the main purpose is to collect the largest number of yellow balls released by the eliminated zombies. To underline the fact that to get weapons and ammunition you have to annihilate the zombie cops, while to increase your health you have to collect the first aid kits left by civilians. To play, you need the free Unity Web Player plugin installed on your PC: just download it on your computer (Windows or Mac), launch the installation package and click first on I agree and then on Finish .

Definitely worth a look is also Zombie Warz , a 3D shooter with a first person view in which you have to get rid of all the “living dead” encountered along the way. The game has a fairly accurate graphics and a fairly high level of difficulty that is able to satisfy even the most demanding gamers. It works on all major web browsers and also requires the presence of Unity Web Player on your computer.

Leaving the context of browser games, I can recommend some more complex zombie-themed titles that you can download / purchase from Steam . The first that comes to mind is No More Room in Hell , a free-to-play online multiplayer FPS (therefore free to download and play) based on Valve’s Source Engine. It takes inspiration from the works of George Romero and is set in a world on the brink of chaos due to a disease that turns its victims into zombies. The graphics are excellent and there is really no reason not to try it. It is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Do you love to play on the go? No problem, there are dozens of very valid zombie games also for smartphones and tablets. Here are some titles that I recommend you download immediately from your store.
