Entertainment 4-ever

Alive 4-ever (US$0.99), is a Meridian Digital Entertainment Limited application. This app is another combatant in the very popular RPG genre, and it more than holds its own. I am no expert in RPG games (even though, I should be), but, I do know what the differences in between a high level and lower level RPG application are. In saying that I'm not an expert does mean I don't know what I am talking about, just that I am not fully immersed in the RPG world. So, if you bought that, the reviewing will now commence:

Alive 4-ever is based on a central character who must "dispose of" an almost infinite onslaught of enemies. In this instance, your enemies are zombies (and sometimes wolves [which I don't understand]).  Every one of the 30 available single and multiplayer (via bluetooth) missions has a different objective which must be achieved in order to progress to the next mission. The missions range from eradicating a certain number of a certain type of zombie (there's more than one!), to rescuing a pre-determined number of civilians, to finding vaccines for the disease which created the zombies.

This app has much more to it than shooting a bunch of back-from-the-dead mutants. For instance, you receive financial compensation for risking your life against the ruthless zombie batallion (aka, you get money for completing missions). You can use these financial benefits to purchase more desirable weapons to use against the zombie nemesis. When you complete missions you also are gifted with Ability Points (abbreviated to AB in parts of the app). These wonderful little points can be used to increase your character's abilities. The upgradable abilities include; health points (HP), ammunition levels and curing efficiency. Equipment can also be obtained, these items can also increase the character's abilities. For example, a helmet will increase your character's HP by 100 points. These features aren't even the best part.

The best part arrives when a mulitplayer game is set up. Another member of the MyAppSource team (who shall forever remain nameless) and I set up one hell of multiplayer game. Multiplayer games can be set up through the bluetooth connection between compatible devices. This mode has missions and challenges that must be completed in order to advance on to the next mission, much like the single player mode.

When Alive 4-ever is played with a group of friends (or enemies) it becomes an even more enjoyable experience. This option alone would make this app worth the miniscule price-tag. When the mulitplayer mode is combined with all the other features (missions, challenges, range of characters to choose from and financial compensation), this app approaches legendary territory. The only thing that holds this app back from the coveted MyAppSource Five Star Rating, is that the map is the same for every mission (at least to where I am up to). This app is action packed, challenging and most importantly entertaining. You cannot afford not to buy it!

MyAppSource Rating: Four Stars!
