Though the golden days of the zombie world are over, the gore and grunts still hold sway, and the mobile world is none exception. Zombie Age 3 is the third title in a successful saga that has already had more than 5 million downloads only on the Play Storeof Google. It's also available on the App Store, and in any case, it's free.
The premise of this game is quite predictable: in a post-apocalyptic world, without much explanation, we put ourselves at the controls of a character who unscrupulously will destroy the zombies that get in his way, seeking to complete the mission assigned to him.
Game Description
In Zombie Age 3 we continue the classic arcade style of the other titles in the saga. With a cursor that mimics a joystick more than a pad, we move quite easily around the 2D stage. Besides, with the two lower buttons, we can choose whether to hit with a hammer or with a firearm.
In addition to the movement and shooting commands, we also have buttons to select the type of weapon (we have pistols, shotguns or assault rifles). The bullets are limited, so we recommend the use of the hammer for individual melee, and shots for medium distances and especially hordes. We also have some upper buttons that allow us to use a first-aid kit to heal ourselves, reload ammunition or launch grenades.
Depending on the mission, we will have to secure the perimeter of fortified areas, protect a defenseless child, or simply empty the magazines until not a single zombie remains. The difficulty of the levels is increasing, although in general it is an affordable game. Of course, if we don't have a good rhythm of killing zombies, work can accumulate, and that's when we'll start to have a bad time.Sound and FX
Special mention deserve the soundtrack and sound effects. The music, which we mainly hear in the menus between phases, has a certain similar to that of The Walking Dead, for being composed of disturbing sounds, which we they are reminiscent of shuffling footsteps, a wind hitting our faces, and some blows somewhere nearby.
However, when we are in the phases proper, the protagonists are the FX.Our shots ring out with enormous volume, just like the casings of the bullets falling to the ground. The grunts of the zombies accumulate and help maintain the environment, without in any case scaring us.
In-app purchases and
To facilitate the course of the games, in the start menu we can improve the characteristics of our character with paid functions that make that we run faster, be invincible for a while, or shoot more accurately.
On the side, if we watch some videos or download games, we can also get coins to help us make those improvements. Finally, in the start menus and between phases, a lower strip of . always appears.
To conclude, Zombie Age 3 is a very good arcade game, entertaining and difficult enough to get us hooked, but not enough to make us let's leave it as impossible.
