Where Dead Target, listed among the alternatives, is a single-mode precision shooter, Zombie Hunt folds that idea into one of six modes in a single free game. VNGGames Studios released it on October 1, 2024, and Google Play shows over 10 million installs. Version 1.16.0 needs Android 6.0 or later.
First steps after install: pick a mode and go offline
The game opens onto six modes: Zombie Hunt, Dead Target, Zombie Survival, Zombie War, Zombie Catcher and Sniper Challenge. Zombie Hunt is the story-driven one, so it is the natural starting point.
Every mission, gun and mode is described as working without Wi-Fi. That means you can start a session without a connection and test the other modes from the same menu.
What the six modes and the gun list cover
The modes differ in pace. Survival throws endless waves, War sets large battles against hordes, and Catcher swaps shooting for trapping with tactical tools. Sniper Challenge focuses on long-range missions.
The weapon list includes sniper rifles, shotguns and heavy weapons, and guns can be upgraded. Enemies include crawlers, sprinters and zombie bosses. The game uses 3D graphics.
Google Play gives it 4.9 from about 165.8 thousand ratings, a very high score for a game of this size.
When Zombie Tsunami or Last War suit you better
Zombie Hunt is a shooter with a Teen content rating. If you want a lighter runner, Zombie Tsunami is on the alternatives list. Plants vs. Zombies fits players who prefer tower defense over aiming.
For strategy and base building, Last War:Survival Game is the closer match. Dead Target and Zombie Catchers are listed too, if you want one idea in a dedicated game.

Is Zombie Hunt safe?
Zombie Hunt is made by VNGGames Studios, whose website is deadtarget.com. Before installing, compare the developer name and the package ID com.zombie.gun.shooter with the store listing. The game is free but contains ads and in-app purchases, so expect interruptions between missions and optional spending. Its Teen rating fits the content: shooting and zombie violence run through every mode, which suits older kids and adults more than young children.
