Zombie NDS is about survival in a zombie invested environment.

Build your adrenaline up in order to survive, as the little armor you have, won’t last long and there’s no replacement available.

Every frag will give you a little adrenaline boost and some might even give you a real adrenaline kick!

As soon as you get an adrenaline overdose (adrenaline level above 100), there’s a chance, that a frag will give you a rush. Then you can shoot up to three clips worth of ammunition without reloading – if available, two clips are instantly loaded from your inventory into your weapon.

Remeber, that your adrenaline overdose won’t last long, as your body will decrese it back to a healthy level!

This game is currently in demo stage!
