Description
"Forget Foursquare and Google Places, this is the check-in app for Android that you should all get if you live in a city." -www.droid-life.com
Outbreak! is a multiplayer online location based game. In order to play the game you must use your actual physical location.
You interact with the game using a map view, where you will see Survivors, Zombies and real world buildings and landmarks.
When you start the game you supply a user name and email address (don't worry, you won't get any emails, it's just for authentication). Once your account has been created you will be able to play the game. You will either be a Zombie or a Survivor, and this is decided based on your surroundings. Click 'Join the war' to view the map. This is where the game is played.
If you are a survivor to must attack zombies, by getting within range.
Zombies must attack survivors, by getting within range. Once a survivors health reaches zero, they will become a Zombie. When a Zombie is killed by a survivor they will have the option to re-spawn as a Survivor. Attack others to gain experience, and earn achievements. You will also level up as you gain experience, increasing your attack range.
Nearby locations are visible on your map as a stronghold. Check-in to strongholds to take them over, and earn inventory items for replenishing health.
Email kbdev.android@gmail.com to request NPCs, as this is a beta feature. NPCs are dummy players, allowing people in remote areas to play the game.

Best Zombie apocalypse game for Android, yet. This game is pretty good, feels real, it would be better if more people were playing it, though. :)
★★☆☆☆
Bad since last update Doesnt work since the last update. Location wrong. Wont allow attack when right next to enemy. Uninstalling.
★★☆☆☆
Eh The first time I played it zombies showed up around me on the map but everytine I tried to play it after nothing would happen after I'd wait for 10 minutes so I just uninstalled it
★★☆☆☆
It'd be a great game, if it worked There's no instructions, but that wouldn't be so bad except the game keeps changing or adding things and you only discover how things work through trial and error. Also, I'll successfully attack another player, their health will go down, but my experience doesn't always increase. I emailed the developer two weeks ago, got the response, "I'll look in to this and get back to you.", but now the game has gotten even worse by resetting my character back to level 1.
