Dead Zone
Survive endless zombie waves on a moonlit street in this top-down twin-stick shooter. Scavenge shotguns, SMGs and flamethrowers, chain kill streaks and pick a perk after every wave.
Dead Zone is a top-down twin-stick zombie survival shooter played on a dark, moonlit street. Your flashlight cone and a few flickering lamps are the only real light, so glowing eyes in the gloom are often your first warning that something is shambling closer. Abandoned cars and barrels give you cover and block bullets, but the horde will happily push you into a corner.
Each wave sends more of the dead from every edge of the screen. Slow shamblers come first, then sprinting runners, spitters that lob acid puddles which slow you down, and hulking tanks that soak up dozens of shots. Your pistol never runs dry, while supply crates hand out a punchy shotgun, a rapid SMG or a flamethrower that sets whole crowds alight, each with limited ammo. Kill fast to build a streak multiplier up to six times the points, grab medkits when you are low, and after every cleared wave choose one of three perks such as hollow points, quicker hands, a sprinter's stride, bigger magazines or a stronger floodlight. The waves keep getting bigger, faster and tougher.
It is made for fans of arcade zombie shooters who like short, intense runs with a little build planning between rounds. Tip: keep moving in wide circles and save flamethrower fuel for the moment a crowd bunches up.
How to play
Move with one hand and aim with the other to shoot the zombies coming from every side. Survive each wave to earn a bonus and pick a perk. Walk over crates for a shotgun, SMG, flamethrower or medkit; special weapons run out of ammo and you fall back to your endless pistol. Quick kills build a streak multiplier. You have 6 health and the run ends when it reaches zero.
