Reception

[edit | edit source]

The iOS version received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3]

Digital Spy said, "Into the Dead is one of the best uses of the first-person perspective on iOS, and an absolutely fantastic infinite runner for mobile devices."[10] Gamezebo said, "With Game Center online scoreboards and achievements that we will no doubt be struggling to top for weeks to come, and more modes promised in the near future, Into the Dead is a bit of a must-have for mobile - especially if zombies hit your spot."[4] TouchArcade said, "When it works, it works unbelievably well - and with no asking price for those early, heart-pounding moments, there's absolutely no reason not to get this game."[8] VideoGamer.com said, "Endless runners rarely offer up too much variety, but there is something oddly appealing about Into The Dead. Let's keep it simple: if you like zombies, buy it. Yeah."[9]
