Into the Dead 2 Review for Appolicious

Into the Dead 2 is a recently released first-person infinite running game from developer PikPok for iOS and Android. Players step into the shoes of Henry, a man who is desperately trying to make his way back to his family on foot, after crashing his truck and being overrun by the undead. For a mobile game, Into the Dead 2’s graphical presentation is rather impressive, and includes short but well-produced cutscenes and satisfactory voice acting. However, if something sounds too good to be true, it often is – the incredibly polished free version of this game is laden with microtransactions that are heavily encouraged, with frequent prompts to subscribe and pay for additional in-game resources. This significantly marred an otherwise great experience.

An “infinite runner” is basically what it sounds like – the player constantly runs from the start of the level to its end, with the ability to move left and right to line up kill shots and avoid hostiles. You equip a main weapon as well as a backup weapon, and ammo for the two is acquired by running over supply crates that are clearly indicated by smoke and a green light. This setup is well-executed, and tensions rise when hordes of zombies begin to accumulate in front of you and your bullets are depleting.
