Hardcore Droid: "In the spirit of the comic book, I’m going to abstain from using the zed word for this review. You know the one I mean. Personally, I relish the opportunity, as I’m sick to undeath of the trope. Besides, the gameplay in The Walking Dead: Assault is standout enough that to lump it with the banal would do the game a terrible disservice. Sure, there are swarms of reanimated corpses moaning “Uhnngh,” but this is not just another riff on the same. At heart, The Walking Dead: Assault is a masterfully-executed squad-based tactical game that happens to have—ahem—walkers as the central antagonists. It would probably still be fun if the enemies were spiders or Nazis or whatever, but matched to a great IP with style out the ying-yang, what you’ve got here is a hit that deserves hyping."
Of the back of a successful limited-time switch to making The Walking Dead Assault free to download, Skybound, publisher of The Walking Dead: Assault and Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, Invincible, Thief of Thieves and Super Dinosaur, has hit the switch for players to grab The Walking Dead Assault, for free, until 11th December, 2013.
John Bedford (Modojo): The biggest Cyber Monday deals on the App Store today.
After looking at The Drowning, here is another zombie game for the mobile platforms that should keep you entertained. However, this is no first person fare, so you don’t have to contend with awkward movement controls this time. All you have to do is to tap where you want to go and what you want to use as The Walking Dead: Assault is a top-down game that’s much easier to understand and perhaps also easier on the eyes as well.
