The House of the Dead: Overkill was an arcade-style zombie shooter from Sega on the Wii that came out in 2009 before shambling over to the PlayStation 3 last year. Now the next chapter has shown up on iOS, although the original game remains absent. Ponderously named House of the Dead: Overkill – The Lost Reels the game continues the action from the previous game.
The Sega blog describes it as:
"The Lost Reels puts fans back into the action with Agent G and Detective Washington as they fight their way through Bayou City to Papa Caesar’s Mansion in this gritty arcade shooter. Play in Story mode and enjoy non-stop shooting action as you blow apart mutants across three levels (each with 4 levels and a boss) – it starts off easy and quickly ramps in difficulty. Looking for more challenge? Test your skills in Survivor Mode, which features wave after wave of blood-thirsty mutants."
As is to be expected in these types of games there are also lots of weapons to upgrade and find.
The game is out today on iOS and Android devices for $4.99. Check out the trailer below.
