Leading the Dead

Leading the Dead is a single-player action game in which you guide zombies through a city and lead them to destroy barricades. You collect blood bags, use them to draw zombies toward the barriers, and avoid the zombies yourself as they attack without regard. Flamethrowers and mobile spinning blades in each stage can kill the zombies, so you need to time your movements to steer them clear.

Story

A sudden virus outbreak overruns the world with zombies. To stop them from entering, people build a huge wall around the city. Alex, a researcher who escaped inside the city, discovers that humans created the virus while developing a therapeutic drug. He announces that an accident released the virus and that the government used the ensuing turmoil to wipe it out, but the people do not believe him. Branded a dangerous person spreading falsehoods and inciting the people, Alex is banished beyond the zombie-infested walls and vows to take revenge through the zombies.

Lead the zombies

You explore each area to collect blood bags, then throw them at the barricade. You can also use flesh and your own body as bait to draw zombies toward it. The zombies attack the barricade until they destroy it, then invade the town and attack its inhabitants.

Game modes

The five-stage tutorial teaches you how to use each item, guide zombies and deal with the special tank zombie. Quest mode has 20 stages, in which you send an avalanche of zombies to break down the barricades and overrun the city.
