Judge Dredd Comes to iOS

I'm starting to lose track. Are zombies in right now? Pirates? Ninjas? I know The Walking Dead is a bonafide hit, but have zombies jumped the shark? Judge Dredd doesn't think so.

Fuse Powers Inc. and Rebellion have announced the release of Judge Dredd vs. Zombies for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. For $0.99.

In Judge Dredd vs. Zombies, players take on the role of Judge Dredd in his effort to judge an invading horde of zombies. It uses simple, "single-stick" controls to allow said player to shoot zombies in over thirty levels. There's even the requisite weapon and equipment upgrades earned for your passing justice.

Those weapons include the judicial Lawgiver, the Spitgun, the Scattergun and the Hi-Ex Launcher. Yes, the Lawgiver will be making an appearance.

“When we met with Rebellion to discuss bringing their Judge Dredd brand to iOS, we saw right away that Judge Dredd vs. Zombies was a winning formula,” said Jon Walsh, CEO at Fuse Powered. “In one corner, you have an iconic character from one of the most-loved comic book series of all time, and in the other corner – an endless horde of zombies. Rebellion is a proven world-class independent console developer and we’re thrilled to bring The Law to the iTunes® App Store.”
