Finding games…
Zombie games use an undead threat in survival, action, defence and exploration. The challenge can centre on scarce resources, positioning or preparing for the next attack. What sits under this tag covers most of the spectrum the genre has fragmented into. Top-down survival shooters where building smart defenses matters more than aim. First-person browser shooters where it's just you, a shotgun, and a hallway full of bad decisions. Tower-defense variants where the horde walks instead of runs. Side-scrollers through ruined cities, base-builders where you fortify between waves, light RPGs where you scavenge and upgrade between expeditions, and absurd physics games where you launch zombies for distance instead of fighting them. A few even let you play as the zombies, building outbreaks across populated maps.
