One Angry Gamer "The real-time, combat strategy, zombie survival game Survivor Squad: Gauntlets just nailed down its official release date. The game is scheduled to graduate from Early Access and officially launch on Steam starting May 1st."
TwoDashStash: "Survivor Squad: Gauntlets strategy-action zombie killing game by Endless Loop Studios currently in Early Access on Steam. Played from an overhead perspective, you command a small squad of characters trying to make it to the end of each “gauntlet” (level) while taking as few hits as possible from the numerous zombies. Controls are simple enough, basic RTS style controls, but where character facing is much more important. As you run through each gauntlet you’ll have a few basic puzzles to solve along the way, your basic “stand on switch here to open door over there”. You can also search various desks and boxes for better guns and equipment. Some gauntlets even have traps, like sentry guns and flames that you can lure zombies towards."
TouchArcade: While King of Thieves from ZeptoLab launches worldwide this week, it appears that they're hard at work at multiple games beyond the Cut the Rope franchise they're most well-known for. A pair of new games have appeared under a pseudonym that soft-launched King of Thieves before it was revealed as a ZeptoLab game: Survivor Squad and Slide Fight. Survivor Squad is a top-down shooter where you and 3 other players try to fight off hordes of zombies, upgrading your weapons and items to help fight off ever-more-difficult hordes. Interestingly, this one promises real-time multiplayer.
