The dead don't stop. Neither should you.

Dead Swarm is a fast, top-down zombie survival shooter built for one-handed play. Your survivor auto-aims and auto-fires at the nearest threat, so you focus on moving, dodging and staying alive as the horde closes in from every side. Drag anywhere on the screen and the control stick appears under your thumb.

Every wave is bigger than the last. Clear it, pick an upgrade, and dive back in.

■ CLASSIC WAVES ACROSS 6 DEADLY AREAS
Start in an abandoned city of burning wrecks, police barricades and ruined buildings you can run through, then fight your way out through the outskirts, an overgrown forest, an industrial yard, the wasteland and the ashen ruins. Each area has its own terrain, landmarks and dangers. Walkers shamble, Runners sprint, Brutes soak damage, Spitters attack from range, Bombers blow up in your face and Screamers whip the horde into a frenzy.

■ DAY, NIGHT AND RAIN
Night falls and the rain comes in. Fight by the light of your flashlight, street lamps and burning cars while red eyes close in from the dark.

■ ENDLESS SURVIVAL
No map edges, no waves, just how long you can last. Level up as you fight, pick a new upgrade every level, and face a giant boss every few minutes inside a locked arena.

■ 6 GIANT BOSSES
The Brute Lord, the Venom Maw, the Necromancer, the Screamer, the Bombardier and the armored Juggernaut. Each has its own attacks, and they summon help.

■ DEVASTATING POWERS
Find shrines and call in an Airstrike, burn the horde with a Ring of Fire, summon a Lightning Storm, or use Frost Nova, Cloak and Overcharge.

■ UPGRADE EVERY ROUND
Choose from a rolling shop of upgrades: more damage, faster fire, piercing rounds, extra health, life-steal, double shots and more. Build a different run every time.

■ 16 WEAPONS
Pistol, SMG, Machine Gun, Shotgun, Sniper, Plasma Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Minigun, Gatling, Railgun, Chain Lightning, Devastator and more. Weapons evolve as you upgrade them, and every survivor holds them differently.

■ 6 SURVIVORS
The balanced Soldier, tough Medic, fast Scout, and the Heavy, Ranger and Berserker, each with their own stats and starting gear.

■ ALWAYS SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARD
Permanent upgrades in the Lab, daily and weekly missions, 40 achievements with rewards, daily login gifts and coins from every kill.

■ HITS HARD
Detailed realistic art, screen shake, muzzle flashes, explosions, blood, knockback, exploding barrels, a support drone and orbiting blades.

Free to play. Optional ads for extra rewards, and optional purchases to unlock characters and weapons or remove ads.
