<p>There are 50 types of weapons to play with while you run around the 10 regions of 33 unique zombie infested environments.

<p>This game also features super zombies such as Rampagers, whose goal in its afterlife is to smash you into submission; Kamikazes who have explosives strapped on to them; Radioactive Scientists who are dangerous when you let them get too close; and Vomitrons who will spit out blood clots to your face. Kill em with grenades, or better yet, a rocket chicken.</p>

<p>This game will challenge not just your shooting skills, but also your moral compass.</p>

<p>Get enthralled by the gripping Neo-Noir crime drama told in comic book style cutscenes. It tells the story of a mysterious assassin with suspicious motives entering the ‘Assembly, a criminal organization.</p>

<p>Developed by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/fdg-entertainment/">FDG Entertainment</a>, the game starts off simple, prompting you to kill the person in the picture. But, sooner than later, the game starts to get more challenging as the mission turns into a time-sensitive puzzle where you must kill someone before they hit the alarm, or kill some guy in a car so their body hits the horn or even one that makes you kill a man in the hospital. You use more than 20 different weapons such as Sniper Rifles, Assault Rifles, Pistols, Bombs, and even your bare hands just to get the job done.</p>

<p>After a successful mission, you get rewarded with money which you can use to buy new sniper rifles, scopes, and other helpful items which you will definitely need as each new mission grows more difficult.</p>

<p>Uncover Lonewolf’s past in an exceptional game worthy of a playscore of 8.82</p>
