Zombie Evil 2

Since it's Halloween, it seemed appropriate to review a game that involved zombies.

Zombie Evil 2 by FT Games is a castle defense game centered around your character having an enormous machine gun turret thing that mows down hordes of zombies and infected animals.  Each level throws waves of the unruly undead at you, and you have to gun them all down before they attack and deplete your health bar.  To aid in your campaign you can purchase defenses, such as extra walls and turrets, as well as new weapons.  Both can be upgraded to serve you better at surviving.

At your base, you can choose which missions to go on, what defenses to upgrade, as well as purchase weapons and buy items.  Luckily it forwent having you build a town or whatever, as it just simply would not have fit the bill.  You can place defenses on the game grid before each match, but you're not planting crops or raising livestock or doing favors for NPCs.  Speaking of, the game is odd in terms of being a badass zombie mower, since all of the human characters are stylized chibis, but of course sexier for the female ones.  Because nothing is more arousing than a sexy soldier woman who looks like she's eight.  In contrast, dead zombies explode in a pool of blood and guts.  It's an interesting art direction, but it does allow the game to not be taken too seriously.

The gameplay itself is quite simple.  On the game grid, simply hold your finger down and drag to where you want the spray of bullets to fire.  You can switch to an alternate weapon by tapping it, and then controlling it the same way.  It could not be easier to hold off the demon spawn.

For an interesting take on the zombie genre, Zombie Evil 2 is simple and easy to pick up.  If you like castle defense games, or a male viewer of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, give this one a try.
