Description

84 148apps: "For fans of the side-scrolling shoot-em-up, Apocalypse Max delivers quite a lot in a fairly compact package. Requiring a fair amount of concentration, but never overly harsh, it wants you to be a survivor and will equip you with the appropriate weapon to do so."

TheVerge: "With the zombie shooter, Wandake Game Studios reminds us why we love killing undead, by doing what everyone else has done. Just better."

TouchArcade: "We're digging Max. The production elements are off the wall good, which helps. But more importantly, we're clicking with its action. Solid pacing keeps you moving, while sharp level design keeps introducing interesting choices."

PocketGamer: "Enter the no-nonsense star of Wandake's new blood splattered side-scroller Apocalypse Max: Better Dead Than Undead. He's got guns. He's got knives. He's called Max."

Modojo: "When it comes to iPhone and iPad, 2D graphics don't get much better than Apocalypse Max: Better Dead Than Undead, a side-scrolling zombie shooter from Wandake Studios."

The iPhone App Review: "The overall graphics and images of Apocalypse Max are pretty stellar. Animation is also spot on."

Apptudes: "“…Max is an high quality action title for any iPhone or iPad user looking for some run and gun gameplay.”

Apocalypse Max is right up there with games like League of Evil 2. It is one of the very best platformers out there, if not the best. The graphics are fantastic, the controls are a dream and the action is sharp and fun. Our only real problem with the game is that it’s somewhat short, and there’s not a whole lot of replay value. That being said, if you want to play one of the very best games for the platform (or any platform for that matter) than you can’t do much better than this one. Date: September 25, 2012

From The iPhone App Review

At the time the app was reviewed, pricing was not set in stone yet. However, given the pretty decent graphics and entertaining game play, even if the app was not offered for free, it would still be worth getting. It is an app that would appeal to younger and older users alike, and people of backgrounds as well. It is a great, fun app that would definitely help keep you preoccupied for hours on end.

From Modojo

That said, two things bug us, starting with the tiny jump button. An option to enlarge it would be much appreciated. We also have trouble wrapping our heads around Max's health. Just can't determine how much is left, since he can absorb damage with no medkits. These, however, are small issues compared to the overwhelming number of positives. Apocalypse Max doesn't break new ground in the 2D platform/shooting genre, but its high-level of polish puts it right up there with the best iOS has to offer. You can't call yourself a zombie fan without downloading this entertaining game. Date: September 14, 2012

From iFanzine

From the rip roaring adrenaline fueled gameplay to the eye-strokingly lush visuals, Apocalypse Max oozes quality from every festering pore! Seriously, this is the quality benchmark any future iOS side-scrolling shooters and/or zombie-themed games should be judged against. Date: September 17, 2012

From AppTudes

Playing Apocalypse Max feels like a I’m playing a true update to the bullet-filled platformers of yore on Nintendo and Sega consoles. For any platforming fans who want some Contra-esque action on their iOS device, Max is a must buy – and even for those who aren’t familiar with those old titles, Max is an high quality action title for any iPhone or iPad user looking for some run and gun gameplay.

From Crazy Mike's Apps

Apocalypse Max: Better Dead Than Undead is a challenging game, but Wandake has done a great job of making the range of difficulty bearable which made me want to dig back into the game and keep going. Another worthy note is the amazingly detailed graphics that appear in this game — all hand drawn and very well done. This game played really great on my iPhone 4S, but I have yet to try it out on my iPad 3rd generation. The only small issue I have with the game is that there are only 20 levels.

From iPhone Life

The game takes a simple concept and a familiar game format and manages to keep things very interesting and entertaining with a steady rotation of different Zombie types and a wide range of environments, each with its own set of unique challenges and obstacles. Date: October 08, 2012

From touchArcade

Still, the control issues mentioned above, while frustrating, don't detract greatly from the rest of the game. Apocalypse Max is still a great hybrid of platforming and shoot-em-up elements. Sure, zombie themes may have become tiring, but a great game will excel regardless of superficial thematics. In that vein, action fans looking for something new should simply check out Apocalypse Max. Date: September 26, 2012

From Pocket Gamer

Violent and entertaining in equal measure, Apocalypse Max is a fitting homage to Metal Slug, and a great way to waste a few hours. Date: October 05, 2012

From TouchGen

Apocalypse Max is not the action shooter I had hoped for, and only the presentation really shines. Where it matters most the game is a bit shallow, and disappointing. The level design is too simple, and the enemies are too easy to avoid and kill. Overall it feels like if you took the first level out of a Metal Slug game, and then stretched it out as a standalone title. Apocalypse Max is still a cool shooter for those looking to just run about slashing zombies for a couple of hours. Date: September 14, 2012

From AppAddict.net

Apocalypse Max has a huge potential to be a terrific iOS game, but until the controls are fixed, I just can’t recommend it. That said, if they are fixed in the first update, this immediately becomes a must-own title for any zombie fan or shoot-em-up fan. Date: September 14, 2012
