Zombie survival games for Android and iPhone

Our two zombie games take opposite approaches to the same apocalypse. Let’s Survive is slow and defensive: you fortify a shelter, watch hunger, thirst, health and radiation, and hold the walls when the horde arrives — and it plays fully offline. Dead.io is fast and offensive: a top-down wave shooter where you and two allies clear round after round in an arena, then spend what you earned before the next one. Both are free to download; Let’s Survive is on both stores, Dead.io is on Google Play.

Two takes on the same apocalypse. One is a slow offline survival RPG about fortifying a shelter and holding it through the night; the other is a fast top-down shooter about clearing wave after wave with two allies at your side.

From the studio

Offline survival or arena action

The zombie apocalypse works as a setting for two very different kinds of game, and we make one of each. A survival RPG asks you to live in it: keep hunger, thirst, health and radiation in check, decide when it is worth going out, and build something that will still be standing tomorrow. Sessions are long and most of the tension is in preparation. Let’s Survive is that game, and because it runs fully offline, it does not care whether you have a connection.

A wave shooter asks the opposite. There is no shelter to maintain and nothing to lose between runs — just an arena, escalating rounds and whatever you unlocked last time. Dead.io is that one: a few minutes at a time, two allies beside you, and a clear line between where you are and the next unlock. Neither is the beginner version of the other; they are different appetites.

Straight answer

Which zombie game fits how you play?

  • You want to build something and defend it

    Let’s Survive. The game is about a shelter you make defensible: search for materials, craft weapons and armour, raise barricades and bunkers, and survive story quests and bosses in between.

    Open Let's Survive
  • You want a short, loud session

    Dead.io. A run is a few minutes of wave defence with two allies at your side, and progression is explicit — clear every round to open the next arena.

    Open Dead.io
  • You have no connection

    Let’s Survive. It is playable fully offline, which is stated on the official store listing.
