Release Date: August 9, 2017
Production combining elements of endless runner and first person action game. In Into the Dead 2 we pass through various stages, bypassing enemies standing in front of us or eliminating them with the use of an extensive arsenal of white and firearms.
Into the Dead 2 is the second installment of the series initiated by PikPok in 2012. Like the first installment, the title combines elements of action and endless runner games.
The action of Into the Dead 2 starts when the main character suffers a car accident. The protagonist quickly discovers that the whole area is overrun by hordes of living corpses. From now on, his goal is to reach his family as quickly as possible.
Interestingly, the story has a non-linear course, and it depends on our actions which of the several endings we will reach.
The events in which we take part in Into the Dead 2 are shown from the eyes of the hero. Throughout the seven chapters, consising of sixty stages in total, we run, avoiding the zombies or confronting them with the use of a vast arsenal. The devs provided us with a variety of weapons – from melee weapons, through various pistols, to explosives - which we unlock and improve as we progress. It is important to watch out, as ammunition is a scarce commodity here.
On our way there are various adversaries - apart from standard "cannon fodder", which is not a big problem to overcome, in places such as oil fields, military bases, farms or camps, we face, among others, armored zombies and undead that are able to run quite fast.
Three-dimensional visuals of Into the Dead 2 show a decent level of quality. The dark atmosphere is created by gloomy stylistics, scarce colors and atmospheric soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Into the Dead 2 Video Game.
Jack of All Controllers: 2.5 / 10 by Ryan Holler
If you’re going to play this game, I’d recommend simply trying the free mobile version out and making your decision based on that. It’s much better suited for that platform, anyhow. But I cannot personally recommend it on Switch, especially at its current price. With a bland and predictable story, poor presentation, and gameplay that just feels like nothing.
Nindie Spotlight: 6.1 / 10 by Justin Nation
This is one of those titles where you generate quite a bit of excitement and anticipation going in ("Zombie game! Bring it") and then manage to enjoy yourself a bit while grumbling a bit in disappointment nonetheless...
GamePitt: 8.3 / 10 by Rob Pitt
Into the Dead 2 on the Nintendo Switch is just as addictive as the Mobile version, only with no sign of energy or in-App purchases! Despite the very simplistic controls and grindy purchase and upgrade mechanics, I found it incredibly hard to stop playing this game due to the constant progression and multitude of missions to complete. 60 levels of zombie slaughter, 300 missions to complete, 36 additional missions via three Side Stories (60 with the DLC/physical edition), and a whole host of companions, weapons, boosts, and Arcade events – this is simply the definitive edition of the game without any doubt. If you, like me, find yourself easily addicted to simple mobile games, this game will hook you and keep you playing for hours upon hours.
