Card-based zombie RPG Deadman's Cross tops 3 million downloads
Square Enix has struck gold in the free-to-play, mobile gaming market with Deadman's Cross, a roleplaying game where players battle hordes of the undead using their wits and a lethal deck of cards.
A semi-sequel to the similarly free-to-play Guardian Cross, Deadman's Cross has been downloaded over three million times since its debut this past winter. To celebrate, the publisher has unveiled a "Triple Platinum" celebration, during which players will receive a bonus of 300 Deadman coins and the chance to earn special "Gold-Plated Boost Items." The celebration runs from May 27 to June 1, and while those bonus coins are a one-time offer, players will be granted a new chance at those Gold-Plated Boost Items each day until the festivities draw to a close.
If this has suddenly piqued your interest in the game, you can download your own copy of Deadman's Cross via the iTunes App Store or Google Play. As with all free-to-play games, it won't cost a dime to acquire the game, though Square Enix would be delighted if you'd spend real cash on the numerous in-game purchases available to virtual zombie hunters.
