Vanilla zombie attacks see you (and, when you recruit them) a buddy, take down a group of unsuspecting walkers. Even better is the ability to teleport to other places in the country to help out others - a boon for rural gamers.Īt this point, Our World only seems to have three specific gameplay loops to experience. You can play the game fairly easily from the comfort of your home, only having to go farther when you've killed everything in the vicinity. Our World has a few obvious advantages over Pokémon Go, including the fact that it's not as focused on getting you moving. On your first play, you'll get the odd hint telling you how to get around the world, but you're mostly left to feel out your playing style through trial and error. The biggest challenges offer more cards as a reward, which include better weapons, companions, energy and money. These form the basis for the game's upgrade system. Success in-game is rewarded with playing cards.

Plus, you can team-up with heroes from the TV show who can help you take down the hordes of the undead by your side. There's also the opportunity to rebuild the shattered world, creating trading posts, warehouses and armories for survivors to hide in.

You can walk around looking for zombies to gun down, human civilians to rescue and infestations to clear out.

The Walking Dead: Our World plunges you into the same hardscrabble apocalypse that features in the AMC TV show of the same name. Sadly, after a couple of hours dipping in and out of the game, I'm not sure I want to spend a lot of time fighting the undead. Next Games' The Walking Dead: Our World uses Google Maps to turn your local area into a hostile, zombified environment, and I just had to give it a try. I don't like The Walking Dead, or zombie-related content, more generally, but I'm a sucker for a location-based mobile game like Pokémon Go and Silent Streets.
