Running Dead is a puzzle & shot game. Shot your zombies and get coin from human.
The core gameplay of this title revolves around players shooting undead creatures into a crowd of humans. When an undead character hits a human, it bounces back and hits nearby humans, allowing players to rack up combos and high scores. However, players must be cautious, as the humans will attack and kill the undead if they get too close.
As players progress, they can unlock 6 different undead characters, 13 unique skins, and 14 powerful abilities from the in-game character "Dr. Dead." These upgrades, purchased using coins earned from biting humans, grant players new strategic options and the ability to tackle increasingly challenging levels.
Many reviewers praise the game's satisfying and intuitive gameplay, fun visuals, and variety of shot types. Players also appreciate the sense of progression that comes from unlocking new upgrades and skins, though some note that the gameplay can become repetitive over time, and the progression system can feel a bit slow.
With its procedurally generated levels and permanent upgrade system, this title appears well-suited for quick, casual gaming sessions. Reviewers frequently mention using it as a "coffee break" game, highlighting its replayability as players work to continually improve their scores.
