Please put on headphones for the best experience. Dive into intense, non-stop combat in Zero Hour Assault, an online first-person shooter where strategy, skill and teamwork are the keys to survival, whether you hunt alone or with your team. Fight on your terms: drop into a battle royale where the safe zone keeps shrinking, plant or defuse the spike in Search and Destroy, survive zombie hordes with your team, or prove yourself in duels with only snipers, swords or your bare fists. Key Features: 22 Match Modes: Nine new modes (Battle Royale, Search and Destroy, Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, Gun Game, Infected, Blackout and Squad Rounds), where everyone gets the same equipment, plus thirteen classic modes such as Capture the Flag, Zombie Survival and Knife Fight. Bots can fill empty seats in most modes. Freedom Fight in Brackenford: Parachute into Brackenford, an open city where the fight never stops. Enter about 60 buildings, climb stairs to the roofs, shatter windows, loot chests, and race for airdrops, control points and helicopter extractions while red zones push you around the map. Build and Defend Your Base: Form a group with friends, get a walled base on the freedom fight map, store loot in its chests, and defend your turf from rival players. If all the bases of your group are destroyed, your group is gone forever! Deep Tactical Gameplay: Aim up and down, land headshots and leg shots, carry a weapon in each hand, fit a silencer, and use a weapon melee attack to disarm and down your foes. Walls stop every bullet. In freedom fight and several modes a fallen fighter is knocked down instead of killed, and friends or teammates can lift them back up before they bleed out. Extensive Arsenal & Gadgets: Rifles, shotguns, pistols, sniper rifles, knives, swords and explosives, plus motors and bikes. Become invisible with the Invisibility Shield, lay traps with TM62 mines, create cover with deployable Barricades, or track your enemies with the Spatial Amplifier. Fair Progression & Rewards: Earn zero tokens by playing and spend them in the store. Every character has the same health, speed and damage; your character is your voice and identity. Climb the rankings and the season pass, unlock titles and cosmetics, complete missions and daily events, and spend event points in the event store. Free to Play: Optional in-app purchases offer zero token packs, a paid account, character voices, cosmetics and other extras. A paid account adds comfort and cosmetics, never combat power. All purchases are made inside the app. Integrated Voice Chat: Coordinate with your team using positional audio to hear nearby allies, or use community voice chat to talk with your whole community across the game, regardless of distance. Your Language: Play in English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese or Turkish, with more languages translated by players. Chat has 27 language channels and can translate messages. Made for Touch: On iPhone and iPad you play with touch gestures, and "View touch screen gestures" in the main menu explains every one. iPhone and iPad use the mobile server, built for touch play.

Your clan is under siege. The forest has turned against you. And the crown weighs heavier with every decision you make. Step into the armor of a Queen, a ruler fighting a desperate, relentless invasion threatening to erase her ancestral people from history. Survival demands more than strength. It demands instinct, timing, and the will to make choices no queen should ever have to make. The shadows are closing in. What kind of ruler will you be? YOUR STORY. YOUR COMMAND. Edge Born is not a game where the story happens around you, you are the force that drives it forward. Every decision made at critical narrative crossroads reshapes the world around you. Destinies splinter into entirely different futures. With a deeply branching storyline and multiple distinct endings, no two playthroughs lead to the same fate. Step back into the story at any time, and carve a different path, because sometimes, the crown must be earned more than once. MASTER YOUR ARSENAL. DEFEND YOUR BORDERS. The forest is no longer safe, and neither are the roads into your kingdom. Face waves of warrior infantry and hunt down the Forest Demons, ancient, merciless forces of nature that demand everything you have. Your blade weakens with every battle. A weapon at half health deals half its power. Repair early, or watch your costs spiral at the forge when your steel reaches critical condition. KEY FEATURES - Branching royal narrative with multiple distinct endings shaped entirely by your choices - Real-time tactical combat with directional swing mechanics and cooldown discipline - Dynamic enemy roster including standard infantry and high-threat generals - Weapon health and degradation system with exponential repair cost scaling - Accessibility via audio cues and VoiceOver compatibility for visually impaired players. Your people are calling. Your town is burning. Pick up your blade and lead.

Zero Hour Assault is free to download; Edge Born costs $3.99 up front. Zero Hour Assault sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Edge Born sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Edge Born holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zero Hour Assault has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Zero Hour Assault's written reviews are positive against 50% of Edge Born's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zero Hour Assault ships an update weekly, Edge Born every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
