How to parley with zombies, step 1.
Papa Sangre and its Sean Bean-starring sequel are two of the most unique games on the App Store. They eschew graphics and, instead, exist only in audio. It sounds like a gimmick, but it actually works to create an incredibly deep and immersive experience.
Publisher Somethin’ Else has just released Audio Defence: Zombie Arena for Halloween and it holds true to the Papa Sangre formula of sound-only except, instead of a creepy horror game, here you just blast the hell out of zombies. Audio Defence works using the gyroscope inside your phone, so you can physically turn while listening for zombies. When it sounds like they’re in front of you, shoot. It’s not difficult to figure it out, but my 9 year-old has been playing for over a half hour now and he’s loving it.
If you don’t want to stand in the middle of the room and spin around, there are options for swipe or tilt controls as well. The game offers 20 levels, over a dozen different weapons and power ups as well as a slew of different zombie types. It’s currently available for iOS at $5.
