Take on the zombie apocalypse in Gameloft's ARPG Dead Rivals, soft launched now in the Philippines

It's a good way to kick off the (almost) weekend, folks, as Gameloft's Dead Rivals has soft launched on iOS in the Philippines.

Dead Rivals sews together action and MMORPG in the upcoming zombie-slaying ARPG. Take a journey through the desolate wastelands and crumbling cities, and discover the cause of the zombie virus as you band together with other survivors.

Choose from three skill classes, craft and mode dozens of weapons, upgrade your character using multiple skill trees, and explore the infested world with total freedom. Join up with other people to take on special co-op missions, and take down your rivals in PvP battles.

And, try not to bite it in the big boss fights.

If you're in the Philippines, or have a Philippines account, grab the Dead Rivals on the App Store now. If you'd like to join in the fun, check out our handy guide on creating foreign iTunes accounts to get you started.
