The year is 2048 and the T-Virus has taken over the world, infecting most of humanity and turning them into zombies. Can you stand your ground as one of the last survivors and defeat the hordes of undead? If you think you are brave enough, prove yourself in Zombie Killer!
Zombie Killer is a game by Italy Games, a developer who has history in the zombie genre, with games such as Zombie Smasher, Zombie Dash or Zombie Roadkill 3D. They have also created other non-zombie related games, like Marble Mania or Catch the Candy.
Zombie Killer is rated 4.1/5 stars on the Google Play Store and Apple iTunes, with ten millions of downloads behind it. Does it deserve such a rating, does it have enough going for it to entertain people for a long time? Let’s find out!
The game sets you directly into action just as you open it up for the first time. You are told to go and hold out against waves of zombies, without any training whatsoever. Don’t worry, you lose nothing when you fail this first encounter. It’s just a test of your reflexes and adaptibility into the fast gameplay of Zombie Killer.
Whether you succeed or fail the first encounter, you get sent back to the menu and after a short tutorial shows you around the shop and the mission screen, you are free to explore the game.
After hitting Play on the main menu, you are taken into the city selection screen. The first one you have to play in is New York, while the game offers 10 cities overall. Once you reach the city, you are shown a map, with mission markers placed on it. Selecting a mission marker activates the popup menu, which offers you information on what your mission will be. It shows you whether you have a specific number of zombies to kill during the level, or if you have to survive for a specific amount of time. It also shows what kind of prizes you’ll get if you successfully complete the level, along with the general difficulty.
The first level requires you to kill 11 zombies and awards you some bucks, which is the main currency of the game, but also gives you significantly less of the secondary currency, gems. Most of the levels award you with both, while rewards scale based on difficulty.
Once you have looked through your objectives and pressed Play, you are placed into the streets of New York, where you will instantly notice zombies approaching. You have your pistol ready and not much time to think, but shoot. You control your aim by holding your finger on it, then moving it the way you want to look. Shooting is done by tapping a button on the right side of the screen, where you can also find a reload button and one that is for throwing grenades. The gameplay is this simple, try to kill all the zombies and hold out with the aid of things in your possession.
If you succeed with the first level and kill all the zombies, you will get multiple mission markers on the map, with new ones added as you progress. If for some reason you were to fail a level, you can either try beating another, or try it again before progressing further into the city. You can only fail a level by losing all your health, but even if you do, you still get some bucks for it.
There are multiple game modes, which are always specified in the mission information popup menu. After beating a certain amount of levels in each city, you will also reach a BOSS level, where you’ll have to fight a huge zombie boss, but still having to fight normal zombies alongside it.
You will notice that Zombie Killer also features a shop, where you can purchase new guns with bucks or upgrade your already owned ones. The shop has 12 guns in stock, with such classics as the MP5, AK47 or M4, all costing different amount of bucks, some of them being very expensive. The most expensive gun you can find is the weapon named “The Destroyer”, a crazy minigun with a lot of firepower.
Some weapons are also locked by player level, which you can advance in by beating missions and gaining experience for them. So if you are looking to buy one of the more powerful guns, you will have to both hoard a lot of bucks and level up accordingly.
One of the most important things the game features is a non-reusable ammo system. If you go into a level with not enough ammo, you will run out of it and will be left with no way to kill the remaining zombies. You have to purchase ammo for each weapon individually in the shop.
The shop also has an items section, where you can buy things like various fences to hold off the zombies, various mines that will either damage them or slow them down, different kinds of barrels with explosive or corrosive things inside it, that you can blow up near the zombies. If you start a level with these equipped into one of your equipment slots, you will have to place them before the waves of zombies start their march towards you.
Zombie Killer also has a Wheel of Fortune styled game in the menu with items as rewards, which let’s you spin once for free everyday. You can also keep spinning multiple times for the cost of gems. Other than this, the game awards you free bucks once per day when you enter the game for multiple days in a row.
The game allows microtransactions for various things. You can buy bucks and gems in varying amounts with prices starting from $1.99, all the way up to $99.99. Meanwhile grenades can only be bought with gems during a level or gained on the spinning game. They can be used for when zombies have surrounded you and there is no other escape. The game also allows you to refill your health meter for gems during levels.
It also has some ads in it, with a full screen ad popping in everytime you start the game and smaller constant ads appearing in the bottom of the screen when reading mission information.
Zombie Killer is a really exciting action and strategy game to play, but you need a lot of coins and bucks to get the items you need in the game. While you can get the coins and bucks through the app store, you will find out that this gets really expensive. If you would like to get these items for free, then you need to download our Zombie Killer hack tool, which is right here on our website.

In Zombie Killer you can cheat the gameplay in multiple ways. The first and most serious cheat that can help you is that the game allows you to refill your health fully for gems during levels. Use this to your advantage when you are overwhelmed by a lot of zombies. If you have enough gems, you can refill your health multiple times, meanwhile finishing off the remaining zombies or just holding out long enough to complete the mission. The refill happens periodically once you activate it, so while your health starts going up, zombies will be unable to damage you, yet you can still shoot them. If you ask me, this is serious cheating in a shooter, but you are free to use it, since the game doesn’t limit it.
Another optional cheat you have are the grenades, which you can buy with gems during levels. If you throw a grenade into a crowd of zombies, they all instantly explode, leaving you space to breath. You can purchase any amount of grenades, they will transfer over to your next level, if you have any remaining.
A very useful gameplay tip in Zombie Killer is that you should shoot the zombies in the head, which counts as critical hits and do more damage to them. They usually only take two hits in the head, while taking four or more hits if you aim for the body. It’s harder to hit the head, but it’s a risk that might be worth taking, because bullets are costy.
During BOSS levels, remember that you only have to kill the boss and the level is instantly completed, you don’t have to kill all the other zombies. So once you see the boss, just try to focus and kill it as fast as you can.
You should also remember to claim your buck reward for starting up the game daily. If you just hit cancel on the popup screen, you won’t get the bucks, so you have to select “Claim” before cancelling it. Don’t forget the daily free spin either, since it gives you free items.
Well, I must start with the fact that the game forcing me into a level instantly when starting it up for the first time wasn’t such a great thing to experience. I had no clue about anything yet and failed the level pretty fast. The game also locked me out of using any buttons in the menu other than Play during this time.
Afterwards it showed me around the shop in a short tutorial, while just generally highlighting buttons, without real explanations other than the text on the buttons themselves. It’s like the game wanted me to go to the shop instantly.
Looking past that, I started with the first missions, which would’ve been pretty easy, if not for the bad controls this game has. Aiming by holding my finger on the screen could be done well, but something misfired in this game, literally, since the controls are really not too responsive and accurate. Aiming for the head of zombies is very hard and you will waste a lot of bullets doing it. Maybe playing this game for days on end would improve my aim, but it’s just very disappointing that it’s not too accessible, even to me, who has played a lot of first person shooters before and shouldn’t have any trouble with it.
The other problem I soon noticed is that the shoot button sometimes doesn’t even react to my taps and I have to try again and again just to shoot one bullet, while wasting precious time. In a fast paced game like this, it shouldn’t be such an issue.
Other than the problems with the controls, the general gameplay wasn’t that fun to me either. It could be made much better, if not for the disappointingly low resolution backgrounds and the reused 3-4 types of low resolution zombies, who all looks somewhat 2D in a supposedly 3D game.
I have purchased the MP4, thinking that maybe it will help, but it turned out to be even less responsive than the pistol. At least the gun models are somewhat good looking. Well, they are probably the best looking things in the game.
Having these problems, the game really made me not want to continue too far into it, since after finishing multiple levels in New York, I have realized that I’ve seen everything the game can offer, which is the same hordes of zombies advancing towards me, while being unable to move and having to defend one position on every level. Yes, they attack from multiple angles in specific levels, but that doesn’t really make it more interesting.
In my honest opinion, Zombie Killer has such issues that ruin the excitement. Other players also reportedly said that they beat the game in a day or so and afterwards haven’t found much lasting appeal. The constant nagging of the game to rate it 5 stars after a certain number of levels is also very off-putting.
Artwork: I have to give Zombie Killer a 4/10 for it’s artwork. This game is just not pretty. The backgrounds and the zombies are low resolution and not too inspired, with not much variety either. Explosions and flashes are also very basic and not very well made. I really wanted to like it more, but it’s just not pleasing to look at.
Music & SFX: The music gets a 6/10 from me. The same battle music is looped in the menus, yet it’s surprisingly is not annoying, even after a long time. It also fits the zombie genre this game rests in. During the levels the music gets mostly quiet. The SFX is average, with the zombie voices dominating most of the levels, since they are very loud. Gun sounds on the other hand seem to have no real impact.
Story & Originality: The story gets a 5/10 from me. It’s very generic and not original at all. We’ve all heard of the T-Virus before. Have they even tried? I’m not rating it any lower, because it’s a zombie shooting game after all, where your only goals are survival and killing the specified number of zombies. A story in this game wouldn’t be taken too seriously either way.
General Gameplay: The gameplay deserves a 5/10. It’s very simple, yet the control problems, the unresponsiveness and the overall aesthetic makes the gameplay not so great. You don’t get much of a reward for completed missions either, which makes progressing and buying new gear very hard and therefore lowering the experience greatly. Still, if the player can get used to the controls, it might be fun for a while.
Addictiveness: Zombie Killer’s addictiveness gets a 5/10 from me. The game could really give more motives for players to continue. Maybe a more accessible weaponry or better rewards for completed levels could help. If you have no bucks, you can’t complete levels either, because you run out of ammo and have no way to kill the zombies. These issues lower the addictivity of the game, but if you’ve got enough bullets and can look past the other problems, you might find it addicting.
Overall Score: 5/10.
