Graphics - Like I've mentioned in my review for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, this game has impressed me with what a smartphone device can be capable of, graphically. Regardless, with increasing difficulty with each wave, Arena mode will surely test your survivability against the never-ending hoard of the undead. This is probably the closest thing in the game that you can compare to Call of Duty's Nazi Zombies Mode, except you don't spend money on barricades or buying new weapons during Arena mode. It is a great way to challenge your high scores and aim for higher scores while gaining experience and money. If you'd like a challenge, the game also offers an Arena mode where zombies come in waves, until you die. Might seem unorthodox, under certain map conditions, it may be the better strategy than trying to secure a corner. If a choke point isn't available, consider staying mobile and run around the map while shooting down zombies in front of you. If you can find a part of the map where zombies don't spawn, and has a choke point, it will make your survival missions much easier. Tip: Take a quick look at the map to see where zombies can crawl in from. Later on, you will encounter much faster zombies that can move faster than you, or zombies that spit some caustic blob at you, which can test your ability to react to the change in the situation you are put in. It may be possible to herd them, but when some zombies move faster than others, it makes it more difficult to do. They can also crawl through gaps in the walls, or climb over barricades, giving the zombies more map mobility. The zombies' AI are fairly simple and straightforward walk/run to player, attack. You can change your equipments, go to the shop, and check your user profile, as well as choosing what missions to play from here. You first start off at the main map which is both your menu and mission select. Gameplay - The main flow of the game is simple and basic. But on the Galaxy Nexus with its 4.65-inch screen, the game seems to fit its controls in the screen fairly well.īy going in the options, you can choose to have a stationary move pad that's locked in place, change the aim sensitivity, toggle inverted vertical look, and toggle left handed mode, allowing some flexibility in the control scheme. It is even more of a problem for smaller phones because each time you do, you're covering the screen with your thumb, which might not be the best way to look around effectively, especially in a rush. With there being many buttons on the right half of the screen, you have to touch and drag a certain spot on the right half of the screen just to look around. Now, this could be a problem for people who may have a smaller phone than others. You can also switch weapons at the top of the screen on the right, and use items that you've brought into the map right below that. A big button to shoot, a small button for reload, and a small button to scope/auto-aim. On the right side are three buttons near the bottom. Left half of the screen is used to move your character like with most game's left joystick or WASD, and right half is used for aiming. If you can say that you are good at texting/typing on a touchscreen, there's a good chance you won't be too bothered by the controls, as I was able to jump into Dead Trigger without too much trouble, after having had my phone for a while. However, it may just be a matter of getting used to using a device that runs entirely on touchscreen. I have tried some games out that were on display on tablets at Best Buy, and didn't quite feel right to me at the time. As much as I'd like to compare it to other, popular zombie-survival FPS games like Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty's Nazi Zombies Mode, it isn't quite the same, as the game is designed more towards shorter missions you can play that usually last about 2 to 5 minutes each, instead of a long run to safety across a hoard of zombies.Ĭontrols - Usually I don't talk about the controls, but this was something I was very skeptical about at first playing a FPS game on a touchscreen only. Dead Trigger is your generic, zombie-survival FPS game, but for smartphones and tablets.
