Who wants to kill some zombies? The zombie genre, once only a niche genre, has blossomed into a real pop culture phenomenon that has proven its staying power over and over again. Zombie games can be a lot of fun and manage to span almost every genre that you can think of. However, the two most popular seem to be shooter and survival for obvious reasons. The category is in a bit of a lull after a strong mid 2010s, but it’s tough to follow up after such a massive push. Here are the best zombie games for Android!

The Dead Effect series is a decent zombie shooter series. It has beautifully done graphics and you’ll be shooting down hoards of zombies, monsters, and all kinds of other sci-fi creatures.

There’s a lot of content here and it’s one of the decent zombie games. This is as close to a Dead Space game as you can get on mobile.
Dead Trigger 2
Price: Free to play
Dead Trigger 2 is one of the older zombie games. However, updates kept the game relevant even today. It features a metric ton of missions, decent graphics, and pretty good first-person mechanics. There are also a bunch of weekly missions, hardware controller support, and plenty of weapons to collect. As we said, it’s an older game. Those looking for the very latest in gaming are taking a step back with this one. However, it still plays better than most newer zombie games and FPS games in general.
Into the Dead 2
Price: Free to play
Into the Dead 2 is one of the newer zombie games. It’s an infinite runner with survival mechanics. Your run for as long as possible and try not to die. The game provides you with implements of destruction. There are also a bunch of other missions, challenges, and even dog companions. The graphics are pretty decent as well. It’s more of a casual game than anything. It’s also free to download with freemium style in-app purchases.
Kill Shot Virus
Price: Free to play
Kill Shot Virus is one of the newer zombie games comparatively speaking. It’s a first-person shooter with a ton of zombies to shoot and kill. It features decent graphics, simple shooter controls, multiplayer content, and leaderboards. You also get over 100 missions, plenty of gear to collect, and more. It’s a freemium game and has a lot of the same problems as other freemium games. However, it’s a good alternative to long-time favorites and older zombie shooters like Unkilled and Dead Trigger 2. Most user complaints are about the freemium elements. The gameplay is good.
Last Day on Earth
Price: Free to play
Last Day on Earth is a survival game with zombie shooter, adventure, and open-world elements. You build a base of operations, scrounge for items and materials, steal things, and kill zombies before they kill you. It also features seasonal landscapes, crafting elements, and plenty of extra stuff to do. This is an excellent survival game with some zombie game elements. We wouldn’t blame you if you thought the zombie influence was minimal, but we enjoyed the rest of the gameplay enough and it’s nice seeing zombies in a game that aren’t the main premise of the whole game. In any case, it’s a freemium game.
Plants vs Zombies 2
Price: Free to play
Plants vs Zombies 2 is another zombie survival game. This one is a lot different from Last Day on Earth above. It features retro graphics, hectic but enjoyable gameplay, and tons of stuff to do like crafting and base building. Your character also needs a decently consistent supply of food, rest, and water. Of course, there are a ton of zombies to either run from or kill as well. It’s 2D with simple controls. It’s a surprisingly fun game for how simple and retro the graphics and controls are. The game had a rough start, but recent reviews seem to indicate that it’s better than its 4.1 rating (at the time of this writing) suggests.
They Are Coming
Price: Free to play
They Are Coming is an arcade game where you take out a bunch of zombies. Basically, you go into a level, slice or shoot your way to the end, and progress through the game. There are various tools and weapons to collect, which you then use to progress through the game further. Death is permanent, so you have to start over if you fail. The consistent zombie killing and the threat of permanent death add some nice tension to the game, and it’s actually quite fun to play. It’s free to play, but you can remove ads and increase your rewards forever with a single in-app purchase.
Unkilled
Price: Free to play
Unkilled is the spiritual successor to Dead Trigger 2. It features slightly better graphics, a bunch of missions, boss fights, and online PvP. It also supports hardware controllers. You perform missions, collect weapons, and more. There are also two types of online PvP. The first is an FPS shooter and the other is Skirmish Ops. It provides a good base FPS experience along with a bunch of extras for variety. It is a freemium game, though, and has a lot of those same pitfalls. However, it is easily the most polished zombie shooter on this list.
Zombie Gunship Survival
Price: Free to play
Zombie Gunship Survival is one of the newer zombie games. It’s the next game in the Zombie Gunship series. This one has the base mechanics from the first game. You sit in a helicopter and mow down zombies in order to save people. It also includes some new mechanics, You can build a base, deploy troops, and kill many more zombies than the first game. The graphics are good for what they are and the game feels unique. It’s a freemium title, but that’s really the only bad thing about it.
Zombie Roadkill
Price: Free to play
Zombie Roadkill is a fun little zombie-themed arcade game. Players drive their way through the zombie apocalypse. You kill zombies, avoid death, and shoot zombies that jump on your car. It reminds us a lot of Zombie Highway, a game no longer available on Google Play. This is as close as it gets these days. The game also includes ten weapons, five vehicles, a story mode, an endless mode, and seven types of zombies. It’s not bad for a free-to-play title.
