Medieval Apocalypse is a fast paced, action packed Windows Phone 8 game that has you playing the role of a Medieval Knight who has to battle Zombie hordes. The goal is to complete the various quests within the game and leave no Zombie standing. Graphics are nice (a little on the dark side though), game play challenging and in the short time we’ve played Medieval Apocalypse it comes across as an appealing addition to the Windows Phone 8 gaming library.

Game Play Medieval Apocalypse’s game play is scattered across two scenarios, a cemetery and catacombs. When you first launch into a game, your quests are displayed briefly in the upper left side of the gaming screen. The quests usually include collecting a set number of coins, minerals, and wiping out a set number of Zombies.



Medieval Apocalypse Game Screen

Along the top of the gaming screen is your health, experience, coin count and diamond count. Just below and to the left of these stats your quest progress will be displayed (number of Zombies to kill, number of minerals to collect, etc.). There is also a timer that appears from time to time and it is unknown if this is a countdown timer until the next wave of Zombies, time you need to complete the quest or some other measurement. There isn't a help section so my guess is the timer is counting down until the next wave of walking dead attackers. Gaming controls line the bottom of the screen with a virtual joystick to control movement in the left corner and four action buttons in the right. Action buttons include attack, defend, whirlwind attack and leap. The attack button is a straightforward hack and slash move. The defend blocks attacks in between slashes. The whirlwind attack is a power attack where your knight spins around like a whirlwind. The leap sends your knight into the sky and when he lands, damage is inflicted on the Zombies in the immediate area. The leap is a great escape tool when you are cornered. The leap, whirlwind and defend buttons do have delays in between uses so you will need to pace their use.
