Can you survive the Death Cloud and Zombies in ‘ZED’? [Review]
What happens when you cross Dino Run with the zombie apocalypse? You come up with ZED, a new game that’s recently hit the App Store. ZED is set in a post-apocalyptic world, one in which the dead have risen to feed off the living. Zombies have begun an assault on civilization, and you’re a member of the tattered remnants of a dismantled military, challenged to run to survive. To make matters worse, there’s a Death Cloud chasing you down. So, you’ve got the Death Cloud behind you and zombies in front of you.
The game features terrific graphics, definitely dark and foreboding. The sound effects and background music are top notch, and the game play is just as intense as an endless runner cum zombie killer game should be. ZED really is equal parts Dino Run and endless zombie apocalypse running, and it’s no wonder the game received an honorable mention at IGF China 2014, before it was even released!
ZED is designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and can be downloaded for free on the App Store. There are in-app purchases, though, to load up on weapons and perks to help you survive longer.
