Our take on RunningDead
Rather than making zombies the targets, the game places them under player control and turns their movement into part of the puzzle. The unusual setup combines chasing and biting humans with shots that can affect bouncing groups, replacing a conventional zombie-shooting structure.
What is RunningDead?
RunningDead combines puzzle play with shooting while placing the player in control of zombies.
The objective is to chase and bite humans, with groups of small zombies bouncing together so a single shot can hit several at once. Keeping the zombies too close to people can get them killed. Dr. Dead provides access to skills, including specific zombie types, an infectious virus, and stronger items. The game includes 6 zombie types, 13 achievement-based zombie skins, 9 human or human-like characters, 10 items, and 14 abilities. Its available languages are English and Simplified Chinese.
