Build a team of zombie hunters and save humanity in Beyond the Dead

It's hard to breathe new life into zombies - figuratively or literally - but Gree's latest squad-based RPG Beyond the Dead just might be the game to do it.

In the vast world of Beyond the Dead, your job is to rescue and recruit a team of survivors to battle hordes of the restless dead.

Ex-military types and axe-wielding toughs are all on offer, but they're positively dull compared to the types of characters available for you to recruit.

LARPers, blood-spattered brides, sassy waitresses, and skateboard-wielding punk girls can all be added to your party, and each comes with a brace of unique skills, weapons, and abilities.

In addition to zombie hunting and leveling up, you'll also have the chance to build up a settlement for your survivors to call home.

Depending on how you build this base, you can generate extra resources or add stat bonuses to your team when they go into battle.

There's a deep, story-driven single player campaign at the heart of Beyond the Dead, but it also gives you the chance to square off against other teams of survivors in PvP matches. If this sounds like the sort of zombie-hunting RPG you'd like on your iPhone or iPad, you can download it from the App Store for the ever-tempting price of 'free'.
