## What is SAS?

Elite SAS operatives handle the darkest missions, the worst hot zones - things we are not meant to know. Inserted without backup, either alone or as a 4 person squad, you will be sought by the walking dead, by hordes of unspeakable numbers. Your only option - paint the ground with every last one of them.

From the creators of Bloons TD 5 comes the best action shooter on iOS! Rank up 50 times and unlock awesome weapons and perks with every rank. Dozens of guns and special weapons, 5 unique maps, and hundreds of zombies on screen at a time.

And that's just single player! Play co-op multiplayer at any time with super-easy matchmaking geared to your level. Huge fun to jump into a game at the same time with friends, and doesn't matter what iOS you have - iPads play seamlessly with iPhones.

Based on the ground-breaking flash game by Ninja Kiwi, but completely rebuilt and optimized for iOS, SAS 3 has been battle hardened by millions of plays and undergone extensive tuning and balancing to create the best action shooter available on the App Store!

Killer Features:
- Intense zombie-blasting action shooter gameplay!
- Eviscerate the zombie hordes in single player or in 4 player co-op multiplayer
- 50 Ranks to unlock, each granting access to a new weapon or perk
- 44 devastating weapons like Auto Shotguns, Browning Machine Guns, Flamethrowers, and RPGs
- 2 Sentry gun classes and 3 grenade types for serious room clearing
- 5 challenging maps, each with very different hazards and kill zones
- 9 relentless zombie types, with graphics that support hundreds on screen
- 3 vicious game modes - Onslaught, Purge, and Apocalypse 
- Multiplayer play from anywhere in the world, whether on iPad, iPhone, or other smartphone platforms

### 2/5 — Can’t continue after the first 3 maps

*2026-08-22, version 3.10*

### 5/5 — Revival of Maps

*2026-07-08, version 3.10*

This game is one of the all time greatest by Ninja Kiwi. I would invest in buying all the weapons and armor if I was able to play more than the three starter maps. I’m 27, and still play this on the laptop. Mobile needs a small tweak so we can play more than three maps. I see that happen, you guys can gladly take my money
