The Walking Dead: Assault

The Walking Dead: Assault is a Apple mobile game for downloadable November 30 2012 from the iTunes App Store to a desktop, iPad or iPhone for an introductory price of $1.99. The game is produced by Skybound and Skybound Asia, in collaboration with Gamagio.

The Walking Dead: Assault, like the comic book series first installment, Days Gone Bye, begins at the moment when disoriented Sheriff Rick Grimes awakens in the hospital without knowing how he got there. The player is transported to those first isolated moments to revisit the early days through Atlanta, the campsite, and all the fan's favorite locations.

Players assemble and upgrade teams of four, chosen from The Walking Dead characters: Rick, Lori, Carl, Glenn, Shane, Andrea, Carol, Sophia and Dale. Players utilize the characters' unique abilities while completing bonus objectives and challenges to unlock exclusive content from The Walking Dead including artwork, wallpapers, behind-the-scenes trivia, and Game Center achievements. The game allows players to collect future episodes that parallel the ongoing comic timeline. Players can prove their skills to other players with Game Center leaderboards, four levels of difficulty.

Players can trigger distractions including flares and car alarms in order to keep their team safe from walkers.
