Zombie Infection

About

Zombie Infection is a 2D mobile shooter from Gameloft that drops you into a zombie-riddled New York City. Playing as a member of a TV crew, you navigate crumbling streets and buildings while firing weapons to survive waves of the undead. The controls are simple but responsive, balancing movement and shooting in tight quarters. The story frames the chaos as a fallout from failed government security, with private groups like the Freedom Fighters stepping in, though your main goal is just staying alive long enough to report on the mess. Released in late 2008 for Java phones and later Android, the game has aged but remains playable via emulators. A sequel and a 3D iOS spinoff followed, but this original version leans into a leaner, faster experience. It’s part of Gameloft’s Classics collection now, which speaks to its lasting appeal among mobile gaming nostalgia fans. The lack of modern polish doesn’t hurt its replayability, especially if you miss the days of quick-fire zombie brawls on tiny screens.

Storyline

The year is 2011 and New York is hit by a wave of terrorist attacks. The U.S. Government wasn't able to hold all the terrorism, so private security forces emerged such as the Freedom Fighters. You control the staff from a live TV program named Inside Action and must survive a zombie outbreak in NY.
