We are really proud to announce that we are soon going to release our new
game: Audio Defence: Zombie Arena
It has all the cool stuff you'd want in a zombie game, but is quite unlike
anything you've ever played before. Unless you played our last game Papa
Sangre II, which was Metacritic's iOS game of the year 2013 (and had Sean
Bean doing voice over). We see it as the quicker, dirtier successor to Papa
Sangre II. We've kept the horror and immersion, but chucked out almost
everything else in favour of SPEED AND FURY so you can just pick up and
play.
You are the Blind Warrior, trapped in Dr Bastard's arenas, forced to fight
off wave after wave of his zombies. As you progress you'll need to master
the Pistol, the Sawn-off Shotgun, the Hunting Rifle, the Machine Gun, the
Bazooka, the Grenade Launcher and the Sonic Cannon, among others. If the
zombies get too close you'll have to resort to a range of melee weapons . a
Wok, a Banjo, some Golf Clubs, a Cattle Prod and a Claymore. Reassuring?
It will be quite unlike any zombie game you've played before. The zombies
and playing environment are all rendered in high fidelity binaural sound.
There are no graphics to represent them. You can only hear them, which is
why gameplay is so immersive. Because the sound is binaural (3D audio),
using only ordinary headphones you actually hear the zombies in the world
all around you, and you are situated right in the middle of the game. It's
like AR* for the EAR. Oculus thrift.
This game has no In App Purchase - everything you need to complete the game,
is available within the game itself. How long will you survive? That is up
to you and your aural shooting skills.
Did we mention that the evil Dr Bastard will do anything in his power to
entertain its crowd, even if it means throwing you to the mercy of lurching
zombies?
We are a few days away from release now.. your patience will be reward Blind
Warrior.
Here is a List of the Zombies in the game:
Classic Zombie
The show is called 'Dr. Bastard's Zombie Arena', so he has to deliver some
classic zombies. That means the slow, feet-shuffling kind. They can take a
couple of bullets more than a Reject, but are easily beaten if they come
alone.
Berserk
A formidable Zombie you don't want to mess with. The Berserk is a blind
zombie who looks for his prey by sniffing around. If you don't shoot him, he
will go away in a few seconds. A single bullet that hits him will cause him
to go into a frenzy and charge towards you very fast, and be warned: he can
take a lot of bullets!
Chainsaw
The crowd's favourite. This crazy undead is smart enough not only to wield a
chainsaw, but also to run at you moving sideways. You want to keep your ears
on him, ready to notice which direction he's turning, to make sure your
bullets keep hitting him!
Clown
Dr. Bastard likes to dress his craziest zombies as clowns. He likes to give
them rusty knives, too. The Clown's main mission is to annoy the Blind
Warrior running in circles around you, but don't let that fool you. Clowns
slowly close in and will eventually attack if left alive for too long!
Colossus
Dr. Bastard's masterpiece, a gigantic zombie so big its tiny brain can only
handle two motor skills: walking towards the closest human and smashing the
closest human with a massive club it carries. The Colossus is the toughest
zombie you'll ever meet. If you don't focus on it the moment it appears, you
won't have enough time to sink enough bullets into it to down it.
Farty
As a fan of old action movies, Dr. Bastard likes explosions on his show. So
he filled some of his zombies with obnoxious amounts of methane gas, to the
point that these zombies are inflated like ballons. Unfortunately, there's
no way to keep al the gas inside their bodies, and so they leak it out in
the form of burps and farts. Which is why Dr. Bastard thought it would be
HILARIOUS to call them 'Farties'. When a farty gets shot a few times, the
gas will ignite and generate a huge explosion, which can take down nearby
zombies. If it explodes near you, however, it will deafen you for a few
seconds, so watch out!
Hulk
The Hulk is a regular zombie injected with an overdose of adrenaline,
testosterone and quinoa. It's fast and it can take a beating.
Reject
Dr. Bastard is always trying to create the ultimate super-zombie. Thank
goodness that hasn't happened yet. Instead, most of Dr. Bastard's
experiments end up being a poor mess of undead flesh barely held together.
Once it's clear the experiment is a failure, these Rejects end up as cannon
fodder for the next show. They're slow and stupid, but usually come in great
numbers and can overwhelm even the most proficient zombie fighter.
Riot Gear
Riot Gear Zombies are, well, dressed in full riot gear, complete with a
thick metal shield. Shoot them once and they will stop and hide behind their
shield for a few seconds. They'll be invincible while they're hiding behind
the shield, so you'd better use that time to kill other zombies in the area
before
turning you attention to the Riot Gear Zombie again!
Snufflehog
Dr. Bastard made a deal with Papa Sangre to snatch these creatures from the
underworld and unleash them on his show. Snufflehogs are made of the tissue
of nightmares and run as fast as a chill down your spine. They're the
fastest creature you'll find in the arena. They're fairly easy to take down,
but only if your aim is quick!
Whisperer
Whisperers are very quiet zombies. You'll need to be alert to their
serpentine whispers or, when it's too late, they will be too close to you,
and will let out a chilling scream as they reach for your neck. One well
placed melee hit will take them out faster than bullets at this point, but
you have to face them first!
Zombie Dog
The Zombie Dog isn't as fast as the Snufflehog, but it's smarter and
tougher. It will charge towards you until you shoot it. Then it will
side-step before continuing its approach. Listen carefully to the direction
it moves and keep your aim on it!
