Turned pay-2-win after Kabam acquisition

Top Pro

Fun and addictive

The mechanics of navigating the screen area aren't all that easy to understand, so it's as much about figuring out the limitations of the board as it is about running away from the big guy. See More

Top Pro

Survive the Post-Apocalyptic horror your way

You are left to survive in a world taken over by the living dead. With a plethora of weapons, armor, and skills, take to the streets of the undead nightmare with your own choice of fighting whether it be rifles, machine guns, or even a nice, sharp object.

Difficult if you don't know what you're doing

This game has RPG stat elements via leveling up. Your play style and how much you're planning to play this game dictates your stats. If you mess up your stats in the beginning, you'll have a much harder time down the line. Try googling "The Ultimate Dead Frontier Guide" online for a general idea of how to build your character.
