Global Invasion

Read full description

Zombies and monsters are invading fourteen cities at once. Pick a job, bring a pet, and fight from the Mara grasslands to the polar night with your friends. FOURTEEN MAPS AROUND THE WORLD The Mara, Hong Kong, the Vancouver coast forest, a Paris graveyard, a Kathmandu shrine, New York, the Dungeon, Storybook Wood, a drowned research station, the buried city of Dubai, Waikiki Beach, Hill Town, a Sichuan old town and the Polar Night. Every map has its own monsters, weather and day cycle. Saucers hang over New York. NINE JOBS, NINE WAYS TO FIGHT Modern Army, Sword, Ninja, Knight, Magic, Shrine Maiden, Summoner, Elf archer and Engineer. • Gun jobs carry a full arsenal: pistol, shotgun, AK-47, sniper rifle, alien laser and more. • The three blade jobs each have their own combo: the Knight opens with a shield bash, the Ninja finishes with a dash, the Sword cuts three times. • Casters turn Intellect into spell damage and mana. • Five stats to build, skill trees, marks and awakenings, and a reset when you change your mind. • Dodge roll: one button, and you cannot be hit while you tumble. FORTY KINDS OF ENEMY Shamblers, runners, spitters, brutes, hounds, jiangshi, revenant samurai, greys, mimics, slimes, spike blobs, deep ones, lantern jellies, crab guards, sandworms, tundra bears, ghouls, giant hornets and more. Goblins and skeletons fight as warbands: with a captain alive they hold a line; kill him and they scatter. Bandits, berserkers, dark knights, cultists and skeleton mages come out of the villages and graveyards. Every tenth wave brings a monarch: the Knight, the Ant Queen, the Butcher, the Wyrm. PETS Six elements, twelve pets. Legendary pets — the Fire Dragon, Frost Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Jade Rabbit and the Demon Lord — evolve through three forms, each with its own look. • Pets cast their skills on their own, or on your command. • Send them to fetch loot and to scout the battlefield. • Pets have their own Strength, Intellect and Vitality: Strength for bites, Intellect for magic. • Evolve with orbs or evolution stones. LOOT AND BOOSTS Monsters drop weapons and armour, and what drops stays yours. Five gear tiers with affixes. Thirty-second Haste, Might and Frenzy boosts turn a round. CO-OP • Quick Match with players worldwide. • Host a room and send friends the four-character code. • Nearby: everyone on the same Wi-Fi finds each other, no account needed. • In co-op you go down instead of dying; a teammate beside you for three seconds brings you back. Bigger party, bigger horde. SQUAD AND SETTLEMENTS Solo, AI teammates follow, cover you and take orders. Villages have settlement missions: treat the wounded, hold the siege. ALSO • Day and night, rain, fog, thunderstorms with lightning. • Full English and Traditional Chinese interface, one tap to switch. • Single player works offline. IN-APP PURCHASES All optional: Starter Pack, All Weapons, Gate Pass, cash, respec tokens, a Legendary Egg and Evolution Stones. Every weapon and every evolution can also be earned from drops. Contains cartoon violence. Rated 17+.

About

Windy Route

Features
Read full description

Windy Route is a co-op survival driving game. Your car is broken down in the middle of an endless desert road — repair it piece by piece while fighting off the dangers of the wasteland, then drive as far as you can before it breaks down again. FEATURES • Endless Desert Road — Every run is a race against distance. Push your best km further with each attempt. • Repair Your Car — Find and reattach all 7 car parts (doors, hood, trunk, windshield) scattered across the world to get moving again. • Fight or Flee — Zombies, armed raiders, and wolves roam the wasteland. Arm yourself with pistols, rifles, shotguns, and sniper rifles, or just outrun them. • Day & Night Cycle — The desert gets a lot more dangerous after dark. • Tornadoes — Random tornadoes sweep across the road, lifting and throwing cars and players. Keep your eyes on the horizon, steer clear, or take shelter inside a building. • Manage Your Resources — Keep an eye on fuel, food, and ammo. Running out in the middle of nowhere is never good news. • Loot & Sell — Scavenge valuables from the road and sell them at trading posts for coins. • Customize — Spend your coins on cosmetics: hats, sunglasses, backpacks, car paint, and more. • Play Solo or Co-op — Host or join a friend's game with a simple code, or add friends and invite them straight from your friends list, and take on the road together. • Checkpoints Every 5km — Rest stops and bridges mark your progress up to 30km and beyond. • Leaderboards & Achievements — Compete for the longest route and unlock achievements as you play. How far can you make it?
