Our take on The Typing of The Dead: Overkill
The store text presents the typing mechanic and zombie outbreak prominently, while the included original PS3 edition receives only a brief mention. The package therefore combines a typing-focused game with a separate included edition, but gives little detail about how that second component fits into the offering.
What is The Typing of The Dead: Overkill?
This horror-comedy shooter places players in Bayou County during a mutant outbreak.
Typing words fires the weapon, while randomised kill-words vary the text used between games. The game includes 9 stages in which players fight zombie hordes and investigate the outbreak. Three difficulty levels and a separate hardcore level provide different typing challenges. Two-player co-op lets players tackle the game together. The package also contains a port of the original PS3 edition of House of the Dead: Overkill. Its shooting mechanics are built around keyboard input, with the words on screen determining attacks against the zombie hordes.
