The fever of Augmented Reality games that invite us to explore our environment is a fact. If you thought that Pokémon GO was just a fad, take a look at its most macabre version: The Walking Dead Our World A game that seeks to drink from the success of the series from AMC and the comics on which it is based, but presenting a current experience in a game where your environment is mapped. Kill zombies, help survivors, collect resources... Almost almost as if you were in this post apocalyptic universe with the walkers.The game is now available for free for both Android and iPhone.
As soon as the game starts we find a moment of action to learn the mechanics of combat. It is what you will do the most in this game: shoot zombies The gameplay in this aspect is really simple and suitable for all kinds of players. And it is that you only have to click on the part of the screen (of the zombie) to shoot there. Preferably in the head. Something more or less simple when there are few of these beings on the ground and you have a powerful and fast weapon to load.
Of course the game is designed to move around the city. The playing field is your environment and it is full of evidence and ammo boxes Walk the streets to find simple missions and hordes of zombies.The good thing is that, unlike Pokémon GO, it is not necessary to walk specifically to where the mission is. We can move about 100 meters away and continue playing. All these missions offer rewards if they are carried out. It is the main mission: get improvements for your weapons, your equipment and even get better adventure companions.
All these improvements are obtained in the form of letters recovered from each of the missions. Whether it's wiping out hordes, saving survivors, or simply liberating the city from zombies. Each player level unlocks certain weapon cards such as the pistol, a type of shotgun, a submachine gun or some companion or even a famous character from the series The more cards from the We have the same type, the more we can improve these weapons, characters and equipment, which will help us face more and better hordes.
Of course, The Walking Dead Our World is a free game or free-to-play, but with a lot of paid content. It has an energy system that recovers itself by collecting ammunition from the environment, but it depletes when carrying out missions. There are also coins to pay for the improvements of the cards that we collect and other goods of the title. Items that can always be earned by playing, but the process can be sped up by purchasing all of this content with real money.
From the game we must highlight the modeling of characters and weapons. Everything is represented with a very high level of detail in its forms. And even the textures give the feeling of realism, with metallic materials on the weapons and bloody rags on the zombies. Also especially recognizable and detailed are the models of the characters from the series, with their characteristic clothes, faces and weapons.
We don't forget the Augmented Reality section An optional addition, as already happens in Pokémon GO, that gives a different perspective to the missions in which to kill the zombies. The game forces us to aim towards the ground when we activate this mode in the upper left corner before starting to shoot. In this way, he recognizes the terrain and raises the action on the environment. It works quite well and is capable of creating the situation in a more than correct perspective. However, it is still Augmented Reality, so the zombies and the rest of the elements are superimposed on the real world. Something that does not always give realistic or appropriate results to the environment. The good thing is that, at the end of the mission, the title allows us to share a video of what happened and even rewards us with extra coins for it.But most likely, this function will remain as an anecdote within the game
