New weapons are on the way to Dead Trigger, the zombie gore-fest launched by Mad Finger Games a few weeks ago. The teaser trailer for update 1.1.0 includes a chainsaw, some kind of lawn/face mower, a lever-action shotgun, and a WWI-era machine gun. Best of all, there are going to be zombies wearing body armor - you can expect that they'll be tough to kill the second go-around. There are a few other nice little gems nestled in the feature list.

  • experience personally four new savage weapons (including two melees): Chain Saw, Lewis Heavy Machine Gun, Marine Engine with sharp-edged blades and Repeating rifle, a classic of the American West
  • enjoy the new funny and handy gadget -- the Head-Flator X100 enables to inflate the heads of zombies to XXL size and... Headshot!
  • meet new zombie creatures -- mutated mobsters or armoured SWAT members
  • explore new fantastic environments -- underground car park or secret research base institute
  • try out new gadgets or get more money - reveal deadly survival arena, that is tailor-made for massacre of hordes of zombies
  • visit Casino and try your luck with a slot machine
  • and finally safe game data with cross platform cloud backup
  • This huge update brings Dead Trigger also to Adreno 205, including Sony Xperia Play!

I'm pretty excited about new Dead Trigger content since a lot of the time Mad Finger's titles feel more like tech demos than games. Dead Trigger in particular is a little pushy with the in-app purchases, but on the whole, it's just some great, solid zombie-killing. Besides, it's hard to go wrong for a buck. How much time have you pumped into the game? Which of the new Dead Trigger weapons are you itching to try out?

I heard about this update this morning...been checking the Play Store ever since. I love this game.

Trevalkin says:

the game is very good but the IAPs are required to get all these cool guns and whatnot which is a real bummer....

casperi says:

You know I wanted to like this game but I tested the real fun factor
at what it really costs to rock this game and it's 15 bucks for your avg
weapons layout. Spending more puts it in console level gaming on the
PS3. Sure you can run around trying to stay alive just to get enough cash
and gold for your next weapon but that's lame. So with that said I rate
the game an d- and won't be buying any madfinger games to come.
Just not worth it. They should have sold it for 10 bucks or maybe a loaded edition for 10 bucks.

My thoughts exactly. Just not feeling like I want to invest that much into it.

Plus the controls seem un-intuitive and often un-responsive.

Simon Sage says:

You know you earn the premium currency over the course of gameplay, right? Spending more money is rarely a hard and fast requirement for games with IAPs.

Murdered over a matter of $40

I just want them to fix the bug that causes my character to randomly turn 90 or 180° when I'm trying to kill a hoard of zombies. It makes the game unenjoyable because it happens a lot on both my TF300 and Galaxy S3. That, plus the fact that the look joystick doesn't move continuously, so I have to make several small, frantic swipes to turn back toward the zombies makes the game much less appealing. I hope this update brings some improvement in playability.

icebike says:

Yup, controls are a mess.

casperi says:

oh your talking about the death spiral lol yes I get that too on my Xoom and
S2. Not a lot fun that's for sure.
