10 Best Zombie Games on Android in 2018

There’s a lot of this fixation for killing zombies in games going around. If you search the Google Play Store for zombie games, you will find A LOT of them. Zombie games in Android have probably been around since games in smartphones became a thing.
Burn them with fire, shoot them with guns, shoot them with heavy artillery from a plane, run them over with a car, or just smash them with your fingers – you will find that if you could kill a zombie in whatever way, it’s all available on Android.

Shoot those undead, survive longer in the game.

I understand that there is a measure of satisfaction you get when you fire a shotgun into the face of a zombie – even if it’s just in your smartphone. If you could shoot guns at something, why not zombies? Faultless logic.

So here’s a list of the 10 best Android zombie games you can find on the Play Store, some of them free-to-play zombie games, which you should be able to download and enjoy immediately.
Some of these games are premium ones, but don’t worry. If you’re paying for it, there’s a lot of reason to expect that the game will be worth the money you’re spending.
Guns at the ready, bring on the undead.

   One can get tired with the zombie shooter gameplay, unless you have the guts to innovate on it, like what GameResort did with their Stupid Zombies franchise. Stupid Zombies 3 is a zombie shooter, of sorts.
   The innovation in Stupid Zombie 3 is with the novel side-scrolling gameplay and that you don’t have a lot of bullets to spare to shoot up these zombies The gameplay is mostly of a puzzle game than a shooting game. You will go through levels which are essentially side-scrolling rooms that have zombies as obstacles.
   
   
   
   

   
   

   Ricochet your way to survival in Stupid Zombies 3.

   You realize that you have guns in your car. So the solution here is obvious – run these undead over or shoot them until they’re no longer moving. This is basically what Zombie Highway 2 is all about.
   
   
   
   

   
   

   Drive fast and shoot them off your car.

6. The Walking Dead by Telltale Games

   
   

   
   

   The Walking Dead is a zombie game from the hit TV series.
   If you are not familiar with the uber-popular zombie TV series The Walking Dead, I may have to ask you where you’ve lived for the past 8 years. Everybody is sure to know about the TV series, and it has spawned a number of Android games.
   The most notable of these is Telltale Games’ point-and-click adventure series of the same title, and no zombie game list for Android would be complete without it.
   
   
   
   

   
   

   Telltale Games has perfected the point-and-click storytelling.
   Telltale Games have been the kings of the point-and-click episodic adventure games, and The Walking Dead games are now at 2 seasons with 5 episodes each.
   The gameplay is pretty simple – it is story-driven, and the game queries you to make simple actions when the storyline needs a decision from the characters. The game will ask you to tap, swipe, or repeatedly tap in any number of situations, especially ones with zombies in them.
   
   
   
   

   
   

   There are zombies in the game, of course.
   The Walking Dead Season 1 will give you 1 episode to play for free, and the next episodes will cost usually around USD$5.00 per episode. That’s a bit expensive, but Telltale Games usually delivers on their games, and they positively do so here.
   

7. Plants vs. Zombies 2

   
   

   
   

   Where would we be without Plants vs. Zombies?
   Electronic Arts hit the jackpot with the original Plants vs. Zombies game, such that having a smartphone at that time became synonymous with being able to play the game. But that was years back.
   Electronic Arts has now released a sequel – Plants vs. Zombies 2 – improving on the same simple gameplay to give you a hit zombie strategy game.
   Plants vs. Zombies 2 gives you better graphics, but has the same simple gameplay from the original game. Protect your home from zombies by positioning different types of plants on your lawn, with different capabilities that will ultimately stop these hordes of zombies.
   
   
   
   

   
   

   Plants vs. Zombies 2 is bigger and better than the original.
   Plants vs. Zombies 2 is a bit old for a 2018 zombie game list, but it still holds up because of the updates the developers have been regularly adding to the original game content.
   There’s a reason why this award-winning game has gotten over 100 million downloads – the game is just that good. Simple and casual gameplay for casual zombie game fans.
   Download Plants vs. Zombies for free from the Google Play Store:
   

8. Death Road to Canada

   
   

   
   

   Death Road to Canada guarantees you’ll never play the same game twice.
   One of the best games to come out of Noodlecake Studios (and there have been a lot) is Death Road to Canada. It’s a casual game, randomly generating a new road trip each time you play the zombie game.
   You travel from Florida to Canada, killing zombies along the way. But what happens each trip
     is almost entirely up to you.
   
   
   
   

   
   

   Survive and avoid getting eaten by hordes of 8-bit zombies.
   Noodlecake Studios designed this little game with tons of replay value, easily exceeding the USD$10.00 you pay to play it. The graphics bring are 8-bit and 16-bit nostalgia, but it is the random system of characters, survivors, and situations that will totally draw you to it.
   Make no mistake, the object of the game is still to survive and not get eaten by hordes of zombies along the way. But how you get from Florida to Canada is totally up to you, and should be an enjoyable ride each time.

9. Unkilled

   
   

   
   

   Unkilled may just be the ultimate zombie shooting game.
   It’s no surprise that Unkilled – a relatively new zombie shooter game by MADFINGER Games – has already racked up over 10 million downloads to date. This game is highly addictive, even for an Android zombie game environment that has a lot of these zombie shooters.
   The developers have really put extra effort into making Unkilled a highly playable game. In a
    zombie first-person shooter (FPS), you would need a lot of guns to keep players happy.
   
   
   
   

   
   

   Shoot the zombies before they kill you.
   Unkilled has around over 40 different types of guns to meet your every fancy, all you need to blast these zombies to oblivion. And if you tire of shooting zombies, the game also has an online PVP mode so you can gauge your skills against other players.
   Unkilled is a very polished zombie FPS game, and I’m pretty sure that you’ll keep the game installed for a good long while, because the action is quite addictive.

    Zombie Smasher is heck easy to learn and highly addictive.
    I reserved the last place on our list for the most accessible zombie game you can probably download. That place belongs to Zombie Smasher, made by Italic Games.
