Dead Trailz

Review

Armed with a machine gun, EMP shotgun, mines and smoke grenades, you are a spotter / sniper. You have to protect your runner - make sure his runs are successful by picking up all supply boxes and return to the train without being torn apart by your friendly Zombies!

Dead Trailz is a first shooter/tower defence game which offers 2 types of modes in this current version (early access). You will be able to play either runner or strategy modes.

In the runner mode, you will have to protect your faithful friend as long as you can, so he can pick up as many supply boxes as possible without being eaten by despicable zombies. In this mode, you will have tasks to achieve so you can earn extra coins which you can dispatch at the shop to add ammunition to your weaponry, especially the mine and EMP bullets. Essentially, you will be able to move yourself to several vantage points on the map so you can effectively protect your runner by shooting at the upcoming wave of zombies. Your runner will have a limited amount of ammunition and he will be able to take care of himself until he runs out of bullets. If he is caught by Zombies, well, it will be game over. Also, within the action, choppers will come regularly and will drop crates and barrels. Shoot all crates before they hit the ground and you will receive extra mines or coins. Barrels are like bombs - shoot them when zombies approach them and you will probably hit a strike! If you reach a certain score, you will unlock an additional difficulty level.

In strategy mode, you have to make sure all survivors reach the train station and jump up onto the wagon to score 3 stars. The further you go, the harder it will become to save them all.

Dead TrailZ has cartoon–style graphics which add to the fun component of the game. The controls are fine and the game runs very well.
