Undead Walking
Description
Undead Walking is a survival shooter with a grim little story at its core. You play as Brando, one of the last survivors in a world crawling with the undead. They took his family, his friends, even his dog, and now there is nothing left to do but pick up a shotgun and kill every walker that shambles into view. Your only real objective is to hold on as long as you can.
The action is straightforward to pick up. Aim with your mouse or by dragging on a touch screen, and click or tap to fire your shotgun into the advancing horde. Walkers come at you in waves, and each blast that connects drops them in satisfying splat-and-gore fashion. The pre-rendered 3D graphics and animations give the carnage real weight, and the music keeps the tension up while you fight.
Survival is where the challenge lives. Early waves trickle in slowly enough that you can pick targets at leisure, but the longer you last, the more crowded the screen becomes and the less room you have for sloppy aim. Between waves you can increase your weapons, and choosing upgrades wisely is the difference between a short run and a long stand. Your best performances are recorded on the local scoreboard, so there is always a personal record to beat.
Smart shooting stretches your survival time dramatically. Aim for the densest part of the pack instead of chasing single stragglers, and take down the closest walkers first before they crowd your position. Do not waste shells on targets already falling, and when the pressure spikes, keep your shots deliberate rather than spraying in panic.
Undead Walking is a solid pick for players who enjoy wave-based zombie shooters with simple controls and a scoreboard to conquer. It plays free in the browser on desktop and mobile alike.
