Best Zombie Strategy Games Ever Made
Zombie apocalypse is one of the most beloved themes among game developers. Most titles are first and third-person shooters (with crafting and open world), but among them, you can also find strategies. In these games, you either manage hordes of zombies or take control of a small number of survivors, building up their base.
In zombie strategy games, you need to keep an eye on the number of resources, which will constantly be in short supply during the apocalypse: provisions for sustaining life, boards and bricks for building, medications for treating illnesses, weapons, and other important items needed for survival.
Almost all zombie strategy games are mobile exclusives, often requiring an internet connection and the ability to attack other players' bases.
