Not content with infecting every corner of the earth, the App Store zombie plague has now spread to space in the shape of Dead Effect.

If you like being chased by shambling hordes of flesh munchers through the claustrophobic confines of a space station, you'll be delighted to read that Dead Effect will go live on the US and UK App Stores at midnight tonight.

If you don't, well, good for you.

Anyway. Dead Effect is a pretty impressive-looking FPS in which you take control of a member of the unluckily named Unit 13.

It's up to you to clear the ESS Meridian of the zombies that have filled up its grey corridors. You'll also need to figure out what went wrong, and collect chunks of currency and new guns to tackle the ever-increasing zombie threat.

As well as the campaign mode, there's a survival arena mode. To the surprise of no one whatsoever, this mode involves your blasting away waves of space zombies for as long as you can before perishing.

If any of that sounds like your cup of rancid tea, Dead Effect will hit the US and UK App Stores at midnight. It'll be priced £2.49 / $3.99.
