Dead Alliance is a side-scrolling bite-sized shooter that takes some of its cues from the Metal Slug series. Unfortunately, it lacks the sparkle and polish of SNK's classic.

Each level lasts about 30 seconds. You buy a gun, jump around a zombie-infested stretch of platforms, and grab enough key cards to open the exit.

There are boss battles too, and they're about as generic as you might imagine. You unlock more zany weapons as you complete stages, and there are multiple characters to choose from.

There's some fun to be had here, but it just doesn't pop in the way you want side-scrolling shooters to. And some slightly jarring graphics don't help matters.

A muddled attempt at an arcade shooter. Dead Alliance has its moments, but they're few and far between

Harry used to be really good at Snake on the Nokia 5110. Apparently though, digital snake wrangling isn't a proper job, so now he writes words about games instead.
