Games like Cod Zombies

These days it’s not difficult to find a good zombie game. They’re everywhere, just like… the zombies. Some are better, some worse, but a good one is not a particularly rare sight.

Those games may belong to a variety of genres, but most of the time it’s some kind of survival. Open-world or arena-based, with base building or without, with crafting or without, more realistic and stealth-oriented or more fast-paced and arcade-like; there’s quite a lot to choose from so one can’t possibly complain about the lack of zombie games.

Call of Duty originally started as a World War II FPS, but since its original release in 2003, the series has gone through a lot of different settings, exploring a variety of possibilities and providing players with unique experiences that revolved around not only real historical and modern events but also some fictional scenarios, like a zombie apocalypse, which came mainly in form of an optional playable survival mode, but also community-made maps and mods.

CoD Zombies first appeared in CoD: World at War in 2008 and, due to positive reception, came back regularly with newer games from the series. The mode, just like the series in general, leans more toward fun gameplay rather than a realistic experience. If that’s what you’re looking for, there are similar games that may satisfy your needs. But if it’s a more realistic survival you’re looking for instead, those exist as well.

If you’re ready to explore the possibilities, here’s a convenient list of some of the best standalone games like the zombie mode from Call of Duty.
