House of the Dead OVERKILL: The Lost Reels

The House of the Dead OVERKILL: The Lost Reels is a continuation of the original House of the Dead: OVERKILL that first came out on Wii and a few years later on Playstation 3, now adapted to touch screens with some interesting extra features.

For those who don't already know, The House of the Dead: OVERKILL is a first-person rail shooter where players have to shoot everything that moves on the screen, and most often it's zombies (or mutants, as they're called here).

The essence of this game, then, is practically identical to the original, which has a story composed of three different campaigns (Papa's Palace of Pain, Ballistic Trauma, and Naked Terror), plus an additional one exclusive to this Android version called Jailhouse Judgement.

The most significant change to The House of the Dead OVERKILL: The Lost Reels is the new control system. Now you can choose between using the accelerometer on your phone for a smoother but less precise experience, or touch controls where you just have to touch the screen to direct your view.

Besides story mode, which will entertain you for a good few hours, The House of the Dead OVERKILL: The Lost Reels includes an endless survival mode where you can kill zombies until you get bored ... or the zombies beat you, which is also quite possible.

The House of the Dead OVERKILL: The Lost Reels is a highly entertaining first-person action game, a perfect combination of excessive blood and humor, which makes it a refreshing experience within the genre.
