Is Zombies on a Plane worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action players who want zombie combat set inside a passenger aircraft
- Players who prefer short, mode-based survival challenges over a single campaign
- Fans of switching between vehicle control, repairs, weapons, and traps
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-led campaign with a linear narrative may hit a wall when choosing among separate survival and flying modes.
- Players who want quiet exploration may bounce off the constant zombie attacks, aircraft maintenance, and defensive combat.
- Players looking for a climbing, puzzle, or platforming-focused action game may find the aircraft survival structure too narrow.
Our take on Zombies on a Plane
The likely bounce point is the split between captain and passenger systems: players must manage aircraft parts and doors while also handling zombie attacks. Those expecting straightforward shooting may hit the wall when repairs and aircraft control become part of the encounter.
What is Zombies on a Plane?
Zombies on a Plane is a survival action game set aboard a jumbo jet.
Players can act as the captain, maintaining engines and the rudder while knocking zombies from the aircraft, or play as passengers using weapons, traps, and manual repairs. The game includes six modes, including Defend the Cockpit and Flight of 10 Waves. Five characters and three planes offer different abilities and playstyles. Players can unlock 10 weapons through score-based progression, manage doors to prevent new zombie entry points, and fight across the cabin, upper deck, cargo hold, and exterior of the aircraft. Zombies include multiple types, with limb damage affecting their movement. An elevator connects the two added interior floors.
