Zombie Isles is a complete survival game — now on Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad. The full game is on every device, with controls built for each one: the Digital Crown on your wrist, thumb-sized controls and a wide camera on phone and tablet. Your progress follows you across all of them. Play 14 different gamemodes including: CLASSIC Survive endless waves of zombies while going from island to island, finding unique weapons and items to use in battle. Fight bosses and zombies in battles across land and sea! Find secret items that bring your game up to the next level, show off your skills by fighting off hardcore zombies with only your fists, or even explore all nine of the islands. The possibilities are endless! ARENA Fight wave after wave of zombies in the torch-lit Arena! Every wave tests your confidence, getting harder and harder endlessly. No breaks, no chests; no one said it was going to be easy! BOSS BATTLE Face a colossal boss many times your size. A new boss takes the arena every hour, each with its own name, powers, and three escalating phases — teleports, laser beams, decoy duplicates, mega shields and more. Defeat one and claim its exclusive character skin. DEFENSE You don't just fight to survive here — wave after wave of zombies are gunning for the generator, and it's your job to stop them. It's like the Arena… except a whole lot deadlier! GAUNTLET Every floor you clear (up until floor ten) grants a new ability. Stack your powers and master your build, because after floor 10 the buffs stop… and the floors never do. How deep can you go? DISASTERS Zombies aren't the only thing to worry about. Fight the horde while steering clear of tornadoes, keep warm as the blizzard blurs your vision, or fight to stay afloat while the hurricane drags you in. Seven deadly disasters. Try to survive them all! RATED & TOURNAMENTS A 1v1 duel against a zombie of similar skill to you — your equal in size, speed, health, damage and cooldowns, so only the smarter fighter wins. They switch between bow and sword, and a well-timed shield will parry you cold. Gain rating with every victory, fight into tournaments, or challenge yourself to a 1v3, 1v5, or even a 1v10. SABOTEUR The zombies have hired YOU to find the one among them that's gone rogue. Study the crowd, track your suspects, and stop the rogue before it comes for you. One wrong kill and you lose — and the round ends by showing you exactly who it was. SHOWDOWN 100 rivals across twelve islands. Scavenge weapons, outrun the shrinking storm, and be the last one standing — and watch your back, because the zombies fight each other too. CAPTURE THE FLAG Lead your own squad as raiders push the enemy base and escorts guard you. Steal their flag and run it home — but get hit while carrying and you drop it. HORDE NIGHT Pick 3, 5 or 10 minutes and a difficulty, then hold out until dawn. The night only gets darker and the horde only gets bigger. KING OF THE ISLE Hold the crown zone while the island tries to take it back. Step outside and your reign ends. Endless — the horde just gets angrier. AND MORE Lucky mode where every chest is a gamble, a Practice mode to master the parry, and a Prize Vault full of exclusive skins.
