Dead Trigger 2 out now on iOS and Android

The graphical show-off of a mobile game, Dead Trigger, finally has a sequel. Unceremoniously titled Dead Trigger 2, the game is out now for iOS and Android devices. The game is available for free on Apple’s App Store and Google Play Store. Since it’s free, the game features in-app purchases and microtransactions. Studio Madfinger Games has released a trailer for it. Check it out:

As the name might imply, Dead Trigger 2 is the second game in the Dead Trigger franchise. While the original Dead Trigger was a single player game, Dead Trigger 2 has some multiplayer components. Players can essentially be play alongside hundreds of other players in a persistent world. Everyone has the same enemy—zombies. There are solo missions, but the emphasis is on the bigger picture.

For instance, when some players make progress in the game’s world, new players who join in can able to pick up where the older players left off without having to go through the whole game from scratch.

Much like the previous game, Dead Trigger 2 has special Tegra chipset-related features. If your device runs on a Tegra 4 chip, you can get advanced graphics including real time reflections in water, dynamic vegetation, cloth simulation and enhanced ragdolls. These effects are toned down if you are using a non-Tegra device.

The company had earlier done this with the original Dead Trigger and Tegra 3. If you had a device running on Tegra 3, you’d be able to switch on advanced graphics options that made the game look much better.
