Zombie slaughter-’em-up Dead Island has made a comeback this week, although perhaps not in the form you would have expected.
Say hello to Dead Island: Survivors, a new spin-off romp for smartphones that’s free to play and flips the series on its head by taking the form of a tower defense game. And yes, there are zombies.
The premise is pretty simple in that you must cobble together various zombie-killing devices such as traps and turrets to send the shambling coffin-dodgers back to their graves permanently.
Dead Island: Survivors lets you go about killing the undead in a few ways. You can obviously wait behind your walls and guide them into traps to dispatch them from a distance, or you can venture into the field yourself and cut a bloody swath through the lumbering hordes with your hammer and other consumables.
Dead Island: Survivors launches today FREE!
Fight zombies, build your base, survive.

So, not exactly Dead Island 2, but it’s free and should pass the time nicely on the commute to work.
