Best Zombie Shooter Games of All Time
Zombie shooters are a popular genre of shooters where players fight against entire armies of the undead. This usually takes place in a zombie apocalypse setting, where after an outbreak of a dangerous zombie disease, only a portion of particularly lucky or prepared people remain alive.
Most often, zombie shooters throw players against many aggressive undead at once, so there is no talk of stealth missions: gamers either follow a linear storyline and complete specific tasks, or they enter a completely open world and try to survive.
