Dear Six Guns, this is how to do a zombies and cowboys story!

Published by at

Just to make a point on storytelling and gaming, here's Cowboy Jed: Zombie Apocalypse, from Alexi Garbuzenko. Just like Gameloft's Six Guns (reviewed today), the wild west meets the undead is the starting point, but Garbuzenko has taken a different approach.

The zombies are attacking along three lanes in the sky, doing their best to eat Jed's prized crop of artifical brains. Jed must defend them whatever the cost. Thankfully he has a jet-pack that allows him to fly between the levels, shooting the Zombies (in the head, as all the public information films tell you to).

And as the levels continue, the zombies become more plentiful, and the alien invaders who are controlling the zombies start to show up with their heavily armoured space suits. That means the money you earn on earlier levels (but not available to boost as an in-app purchase) will have to be spent on new skills, powers, and weapons.

No it's not a third person shooter, it's more akin to the old Game and Watch handsets from the eighties, but from the same plot point, Garbuzenko has fashioned a more coherent story than Gameloft, with the following features:

  • 4 scenarios, 48 levels
  • various types of weapons: standard, epic and mystical
  • lot of enemies with different properties: bosses, mechanical, flying, machines, insects
  • unique abilities
  • сonstantly updated scenarios and weapons
  • thrilling comics-like plot
