1. Dying Light

Dying Light is a first-person survival horror game set in the middle of a city besieged by the dead. Although many games let you fight for your survival in a zombie apocalypse, none do it quite like Dying Light.

The open world setting of the game gives you endless options for dealing with the undead masses. Whether you are scavenging for survival, fighting against the zombies, or parkour-ing across rooftops, Dying Light keeps you on the edge of your toes at all times. Despite being given a mission to accomplish, the game never feels restrictive.

Finally, the day and night system, which determines the aggression of the zombie,s turns the game into a unique game of predator and prey. During the day, you serve as the hunter, but at night, you become the hunted. This constant switching of roles keeps the game fresh and prevents you from becoming complacent. The enhanced 10th anniversary edition of the game is on a 70% sale for $8.99.

2. The Walking Dead

Telltale is well known for their choice-based games, where the decisions you make have a major impact on the game. Among the many games Telltale put out over the years, The Walking Dead is arguably the best of them all.

Set in the eponymous universe of The Walking Dead, the game mainly revolves around the story of Clementine, a young girl struggling to survive in the apocalypse after losing everyone close to her. The story, divided across four seasons, is one of the most riveting and emotional in video game history. This is the perfect time to get into the game, especially because the entire collection is available on a 78% discount for $12.57.

3. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile

Vampire Smile was first released in 2011 for the Xbox 360 as the sequel to The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai.  In 2017, it was made available on other platforms as well. Vampire Smile is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up game where you brutally massacre hordes of enemies.

The game is a marked improvement over its predecessor in every way, featuring more weapons, better gameplay, a more detailed story, and more. On top of this, it even adds a second playable character, that being the sister of the protagonist of both games. For players who enjoy games with tight combat and a helping of violence, Vampire Smile is an excellent option. It is currently on a 75% sale for $2.49.

4. The Last of Us Part I

The Last of Us is a game that needs no introduction. The dynamic between Joel and Ellie is one of the most compelling and heartwarming things you are likely to see.

Additionally, the story of the game, which sees Joel transporting Ellie across America while beset by zombies and humans alike, is simply a masterpiece of writing. The Last of Us Part I is one of those games that everyone should play at least once. The game is currently half off being priced at $29.99.

5. Vampire Survivors

Vampire Survivors was released in 2022 and became a smash hit. And it’s not exactly rocket science to see why. The gameplay loop, which is essentially a reverse bullet hell, is highly addictive. Using a randomized set of weapons to clear multiple screenfuls of enemies tickles some part of the brain just right. And that keeps you coming back again and again and again.

Moreover, the game, which is loosely based on Castlevania, has led to the popularization of reverse bullet hell (or bullet heavens). In fact, such games are often called Survivor-like. So, if you wish to experience the “original” Survivors-like game, then right now is as good a time as any (it’s probably better.) The game is on 2a 0% discount for $3.99.

Those were five of the many games you should consider buying in the Steam Zombies vs Vampires Fest 2025.
