I’m a huge fan of zombie games. If it has zombies in it, I’ll most likely attempt to play it. I’ve played casual games like Plants vs Zombies to hardcore zombie games like the Left 4 Dead series. I even bought Call of Duty: World at War just to play Nazi zombie mode.

When I heard that Zombie Flick was free in the App Store (for a limited time) I had to download it. I really didn’t know what the game was about at all. I just saw the word zombie and free and figured might as well. Now I’m not really sure why its free right now as it started off being a $1.99 title, then a week or so later became 99 cents, and now its free for a limited time. It’s probably just a marketing ploy to get the game some better ratings and higher up in the top apps list. Regardless of the pricing, Zombie Flick is a solid game that is pretty fun to play.

The objective is to defend your little square from the never ending zombie horde. There are four sides you need to defend. Zombies come from all sides so you’ll have to constantly turn left or right to defend any given area. Zombies are killed by swiping any part of their body either straight up or in a diagonal left or right motion. The latter produces combo kills which increase your score. Control wise, Zombie Flick is really simple to play. All you do is flick with your finger at the zombies or press left, right or down to switch to the different side of your square area. That’s it.

Zombie Flick isn’t terribly hard either. It’s possible to just keep flicking away with your finger without even really aiming at anything and get pretty far since it seems like your “ammo” is unlimited. This isn’t a bad thing though as the farther you get in the game, the more hectic it gets so you’ll want to just flick away as fast as you can anyways without having the added stress of properly aiming.

Zombie Flick isn’t a very deep game and in fact it barely has a story at all, but it is very heavy on action and fun, which in the end is what is most important especially when it’s on a platform such as the iOS where most people just want to play something quick while they are waiting for something happening in the real world.

If you love zombie survival games, Zombie Flick might be right up your alley. As of this posting, Zombie Flick was still free so you got nothing to lose by downloading it.
