About this game
Can you survive amongst the nibbly creatures you find yourself surrounded by after a recent chemical spill in the area?
Take on the challenge for staving off the undead using a variety of weaponry, all in the glorious first-person perspective. Share the fun with up-to 4 of your buddies and see who can smash the most Zeds to shreds! If you can survive until extraction is available, then you get to keep the loot!
They Bite! offers two modes for taking on the undead - in the Arcade Mode mode you and upto 3 friends can try to survive until you are able to extract from the area, fighting off endless attackers across a variety of interesting maps. Gain points and experience to unlock new paths and areas in each map, and uncover the secrets and missions hidden throughout for a real challenge (and a reward for your efforts of course)
In the single-player Adventure mode (coming soon), you take on the Zeds and explore at your leisure travelling from map-to-map to gain resources to help survive for as long as you can in the world.
Both you're avatar and your weaponry can all be improved as you gain experience. Level up your stats to make you faster, stronger and tougher than before. In addition, gain proficiency with each weapon through gameplay, meaning as you gain experiencing using a weapon, you can increate its stats such as range, damage, ammo capacity etc to help you take on the Zeds, and win!
You start off with your trusty pistol and an axe, but you will find weapons to rent scattered around the maps and once you have enough money, you can purchase new, better guns and equipment to help you out next time.
