Hey, I'm looking for a zombie survival game, which survival being the key idea here. I've paid countless mindless duel stick zombie shooters, however not one which requires much otherwise thinking. I'm not sure one such game exists at this point, however if there is that would be awesome! If there is no such game, I'd also like a zombie rpg/roguelike/strategy game. Thanks heaps!
You can try N.Y. Zombies 2 or wait for 2013 infected wars to release(i think it will come soon about 25th july)
That Walking Dead game (black and white strategy-ish one) is pretty good, well worth having a look at
tactical soldier rebuild both are turn based, but contain zombies. the second is a favorite of mine. you run a city that is constantly attacked by zombies.
I had my eye on tactical soldier, I guess I'll try it. Rebuild is also and amazing game, and I'be lived the many hours I've sunk into it.
Yeah, I played that on release. It was fun because of the immense amount of weapons you could use, however it still ended up boiling down to a twin stick shooter
Check out Zombie Escape. It's a legacy (2010) app that I had fun with it. The app description accurately states it's a "combination of tactical line-drawing and offensive attacks, manage the survivors from a top-down view, guiding them toward their rescue helicopters while eliminating the zombie onslaught with a combination of clever diversions and permanent destruction."
Has no one mentioned Aftermath? The OP references "dual stick shooters" and Aftermath is an atmospheric "shooter" with auto-fire where you dodge zombies while your character fires them at a set rate so there's emphasis on avoidance rather than button mashing or attack. You have to dodge around when zombies sneak behind you to face/fire at them.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I guess most ios zombie games are just action games. Whilst there are games of brilliance such as rebuilt, but just seem to boil down to aim and shoot. I can't really expect too much from a platform like this one to give me the experience I'm hoping for.
I'm not really clear as to what exactly you're looking for. Is the general idea that you want games that require you to use strategy to survive in a zombie setting? If so Organ Trail comes to mind. Perhaps you'd like Survivor Z or ZDAY Survival Simulator?
