May NOT work on older devices! ######################### "The triumphant return of a fan favorite sidescroller, ZKW-Reborn stands on the shoulders of its predecessor to achieve even greater heights of awesomeness" -SuperGameDroid Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn is a challenging, fast paced, 2D survival shooter! And when we say fast, we mean breakneck, flat-out, adrenaline fuelled fast! What’s different from the other shooters is your goal isn’t to run through levels and finish the game, but to survive for as long as possible under increasingly frantic conditions (we say as long as possible because ultimately you will die!). Seems simple enough, but where Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn really takes off is in the added layers of depth and huge variety of features and customisation available. Players earn money for slaughtering the zombies (money might not bring you happiness, but it does buy you guns!). We live in a consumer society after all, which is useful, as you can spend big on over 25 different weapons (including chainsaw, katana, mini-gun, RPG, D.O.M. and many others!). You also need cash to open doors, activate jumps, buy new weapons, or hunt for the magic fridge and see what loot drops are inside! In short… the longer you survive, the more weapons and prizes you get. Surviving longer also gains you ZKW-Points which you can cash in to totally customize your character, customize your weapons, buy new weapons, buy different perks, open new maps, and a lot lot more! Players also earn XP as they play, allowing them to level-up their character and develop them to fit their chosen gameplay skills. Survival is all about the margins, and every little extra helps! ## Key features - 2D survival shooter gameplay - Over 25 different weapons - Character customization - Weapon customization - Unlockable maps and perks - XP and leveling system ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: $1.99. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 33 ZKW-Points | $0.99 | one-time | | 100 ZKW-Points | $1.99 | one-time | | 900 ZKW-Points | $3.99 | one-time | | 2500 ZKW-Points | $9.99 | one-time | ## Chart rankings - #185 in Top Paid · Casual (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 43) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zkw-reborn/id1063112780/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Developer with pure Heart *2026-07-05, version 1.4.01* Love it since it’s out Played it so many times with my Brother and Friends ### 5/5 — Improve AI *2026-06-02* Please improve the bot’s ability to revive when you are in different zones ### 5/5 — Juegazo *2026-02-23, version 1.4.01* Juegazo ### 5/5 — Must have Game! *2026-02-08, version 1.4.01* I play this games since years!
