Who would have thought that you’d get a second chance at getting your dream job? Become the engineer, doctor, or scientist, like you’ve always wanted in Dead Frontier.

Got to be well dressed and armed to take on hordes of zombies

Players have 20 professions to pick from at the start of the game. There are tons of different options to fit various play styles.  A player can pick from the production class and be a scientist who creates goods to sell, the service class and work as an engineer who can sell their services, the stat-boost class and be a formerly famous athlete, or the role playing class and be the toughest of priests. Players can also customize their characters and decide their gender, skin tone, hair style, and facial expression.

Dead Frontier doesn’t offer players any formal tutorials and has one of the steepest learning curves. Players essentially have to learn through lots of trial and error. New players should expect to spend their first few hours testing out the gameplay, exploring, and dying tons.

Regardless if playing the game alone or in a group, strategy is the key to surviving. Players must constantly maintain their character’s health, hunger, and ammo because death will easily strike you down.
