It is a product of its time and we love it all the more because of it. Yes, the tank controls are still tricky to get your head around and some hair-pulling inventory management may be more off-putting than the zombies themselves to many, but it’s worth bearing in mind that this isn’t a modern game. Long corridors, quick-solve puzzles, B-movie vibes and an overwhelming number of zombies make this a prime candidate for the Granddaddy of the genre. This 2019 Switch port (leaning heavily on 2002’s GameCube ‘REmake’) has all the hallmarks of a classic survival horror and that’s arguably because it invented them in the first place. You didn’t think we’d forget this one, did you?įor many, the first Resident Evil is the definitive zombie game. With the bunker prepared, it’s time to dive right into the crème de la crème (or should that be ‘braín de la braín’?) of zombie games on Switch: Reanimated corpses or infected living hosts, we need to look at these guys and say, undeniably, “yep, that’s a zombie” So, we have chosen to focus only on titles where the enemy is indisputably zombified.

This leads us on to our second board: what do we mean by ‘zombie’? We can’t just focus on the green, peeling skin kind, but, again, if we were to add anything that staggers after you with its arms stretched out front then we could go on forever.
If we started banging every game with zombie-like creatures onto the list then we would be here for days and we couldn’t, with good conscience, go saying that something like Minecraft is one of the best zombie titles on Switch now, could we? Firstly, what do we mean by a ‘zombie game’? There was a lot of debate on this one, but we decided that we were only going to include games where the zombies are the focus.
There are a lot of zombie games on the console for you to sink your teeth into, but the number of them that we would actually recommend playing? That’s a much shorter list.Ī zombie invasion is all about preparation work, so we are going to hammer up the following boards across the doorway before we bunker down. The Switch, for the most part, has steered clear of these big titles. Yes, there are the two aforementioned series, but the list of great zombie games goes on. This fascination with these brain-munching beings has inspired games by the boatload. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead in 1978, the publication and subsequent adaptation of The Walking Dead, the hugely popular ‘Zombies’ mode in the Call of Duty series, or the meteoric rise of The Last of Us, we love a date with the undead. Every decade or so, something big happens to bring zombies back into our lives.
