[Top 15] Best Zombie Games of All Time
15. Dying Light
Dying Light Graphics
This fantastic zombie game is a high-paced, action, and story-driven game that will leave you satisfied when finished. Not only was it one of the first games to introduce a parkour element into a horror game, the story follows many difficult challenges and choices of Crane; a soldier dropped into the middle of the outbreak, given one target to hunt down, and told to survive.
Dying Light features great graphics in a high-paced, parkour environment filled with enemies.
14. Left4Dead
Left4Dead Graphics
Left4Dead follows the story of four immune survivors that face all manner of monsters to survive. With basic reload and gameplay mechanics- this game is a fun revisit with its four-act missions and endless horde modes. Endless graphic novels, movies, shorts, and YouTube species have features a near-classic like this one.
With a team, you can survive anything with enough ammo.
13. The Walking Dead Saga
The Walking Dead Saga Graphics
The Walking Dead series has multiple games across several platforms. Most people are familiar with the Telltale app, but they have expanded to VR games for their next generation of gaming. Bringing a new and improved element into horror games. Most of the games span the different stories of the people in the television series, tying up loose ends or just showing how people got from Point A to B behind the scenes. Each game has its own unique play style and mechanics.
She may not be yours, but you’d do anything for her.
12. State of Decay
State of Decay Graphics
State of Decay covers several fun areas that haven’t been touched on a lot as the horror genre has grown, such as survivor management and leadership roles. In SoD, you play as a survivor that can make or break the world they are spawned into. Help or hurt other survivors, bring back supplies, clean infestations, and maybe even take back your city from the clutches of the undead locals.
New meaning to being stabbed in the back...
11. Resident Evil Series
Resident Evil Graphics
Like the Walking Dead, Resident Evil has a long history of delightful scares, interesting stories, and moments that we definitely can pinpoint in the timeline as major childhood memories. There are several games in this series ranging from apps, card games to entire movie franchises; and each has their qualities whether you want something a little older like the remake of Resident Evil, or something a little newer like Resident Evil 3 or 2. Each new game, the graphics, and overall push to do something never seen before gets better and better.
Ankle biters, corner huggers, and just regular chewers- no zombie is fun.
10. Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid Graphics
As an independent project that didn’t much of a following until a few years after the beta was released, Project Zomboid has come a long way. In this pixilated art style, you play as the only survivor left in your town. Break into your neighbor’s houses, local stores, and fight said locals to continue on. Random events in the neighborhood will keep you on your toes; including helicopters, house alarms, and horrible new enemies.
Some stories tell themselves, while others only leave ruins in their wake.
09. Dead Rising Series
Dead Rising Series Graphics
You play as wild and slightly unhinged Frank West! A man who had no hope of a career until the zombies actually helped him out- now his entire employment issue is solved. Save the locals and bash in a few heads with this classic. While there are several games for this title, all follow the same premise. Bash, crash, and bring on the smash.
Sometimes the job just doesn’t pay enough, especially on Black Friday.
08. Days Gone
Days Gone Graphics
Days Gone follows the story of Deacon St. John, who still survives in a world two years after it supposedly ended. Losing his humanity after the tragic loss of his wife, he slowly tries to find himself again to help other survivors and people in the wilderness. Fighting off monsters, wildlife, and the unturned locals… the only thing you can count on is your gun, Boozer, and your bike.
Wolves aren’t the only problems out the woods...
07. They Are Billions
They Are Billions Graphics
They Are Billions is a surprisingly scary game that covers the idea that the horde will come- no matter what you do to prevent it. Try to build and upgrade your settlement as fast as possible- because eventually the billions of undead will come knocking. With interesting events and storylines to follow, you can play easily with a short or long specialized and/or customizable playthroughs.
Literally the populations of countries come for you- to beat down your walls.
06. Dead Island
Dead Island Graphics
With very similar attributes to Left4Dead, this game follows four immune survivors through the beautiful tropical islands- where a zombie outbreak has sent the world into chaos. With one of the most iconic intro scenes for horror games, this game leaves you wanting for nothing with its story and graphics. Interesting character development and found family elements make this game a surprisingly fun combination of a rapper, mercenary, football champion, and a hotel desk clerk who part-times as a private operative.
Oh, that’s not a good thought- swimming zombies. There goes the island plan.
05. DayZ
DayZ Graphics
A zombie version of PUBG or Fortnight- who can go wrong with that? With very similar survival aspects, team up with strangers or stay alone to fight over limited resources in a post-apocalyptic world. With several different versions available across a variety of platforms, this game is good for practice, a solo playthrough, or with friends!
They are no longer your friends, now you’re just their Happy Meal.
04. World War Z
World War Z Graphics
This third-person shooter follows the story of humanity on the brink of extinction. Banding together in this slightly new twist to zombie games. Thousands of zombies to fight off with stunning graphics, almost 17 different environments, and co-op missions with endless horde mode. Based loosely on the award-winning movie and book, this game outshines both. Now you just have to outlive the dead.
Clear the streets, and check your surroundings. Loot and enemies could be anywhere...
03. Killing Floor
Killing Floor Graphics
This team-based survival horror game is set in devasted cities and agencies of England after cloning experiments by the military go terribly wrong. You and your team are sent in to try to stop the zombified clones before it’s too late. With the customization and over a hundred and fifty achievements, this is a great game to enjoy with friends!
These terrifying creatures will be unrelenting every single floor.
02. The Last of Us
The Last of Us Graphics
The game that managed to make us cry in the first ten minutes now officially has a sequel! The Last of Us followed the story of a father who had lost everything only to be given a second chance during the middle of the zombie outbreak. Surviving alone is never fun for anyone, let alone when things go bump in the night- follow new environments and dark storylines to get to the truth of why the world ended.
She was your second chance... Did you do right by her?
01. The Organ Trail
The Organ Trail Graphics
This great twist of the original Oregan Trail is not as much scary as a fun revisit. This game is the exact same as the previous, only now you will have to fight zombies when you hunt for food. You’ll have several new events and sicknesses that are possible. You’ll have certain times when you’ll be stuck in one spot due to a horde coming past- and much more!
This retro game is still popular- an undead spin of the Oregan Trail.
