Ashfall Squad
Read full descriptionHide full description
The city fell. Your squad did not. Ashfall Squad is a fast zombie survival game you can play with one thumb. Lead a squad of three heroes into the ruins, hold the line against endless hordes, and grow stronger with every run. FIVE-MINUTE RUNS, ENDLESS CHOICES Your heroes fire on their own. You move them. Every level-up offers three cards and you keep one: new weapons, passives and upgrades. Max a weapon and pair it with the right passive to evolve it into something much stronger. SWAP HEROES MID-FIGHT Your squad is three heroes, and any of them can take the lead. The Gunner shreds crowds, the Medic keeps everyone standing, the Demo blows the horde apart. When a hero goes down, the next one steps up. GIANT BOSSES Every sector ends with a boss: the Warlord, the Behemoth, Patient Zero and the Abomination. Learn their patterns and take them down. 20 SECTORS, THEN HARD MODE Fight from the suburbs to the highway, through the mall and the subway, all the way to the lab where it started. Clear them all, then take them on again in Hard mode. BUILD YOUR SQUAD Six heroes to unlock and level up, each with four forms. Six gear slots and five rarities, with merging to reach the next tier. Field Training turns spare gold into permanent upgrades. Chest odds are always shown before you open one. SOMETHING TO DO EVERY DAY Your squad patrols the wasteland while you are away and brings home gold, keys and gear. Daily Ops with a new Weekly Op every week, missions, a login calendar, a 7-day Boot Camp event for new players, a battle pass, and Game Center leaderboards. Optional reminders tell you when your energy or Patrol is full. PLAY FREE Everything in the game can be earned by playing. Ads are optional rewarded ads, plus an occasional short ad between runs after the first few sectors. Ads are never personalized, and the game does not track you. Optional in-app purchases are available. There are no subscriptions: every purchase is a one-time payment, and the Monthly and Weekly Cards never renew. Questions or feedback: temveno@gmail.com
