GREE's New Zombie iOS Game Invades US App Store

Japanese mobile social gaming giant GREE (TYO:3632) has just released Zombie Jombie, the first game to come from its North American studio. What’s interesting here is that GREE has opted for a card-based game, a genre that has worked well in Japan, but it remains to be seen if overseas audiences will be as enthusiastic.

The game let’s you ‘harness the power power of the undead’ using a deck of zombie cards, which you can trade with friends by taking advantage of the game’s social features. You can customize your own collection, and even fuse zombies together. GREE International’s SVP of social games comment on the game’s features:

Zombie Jombie invites gamers into a new and darker world where zombies are the good guys and it is humans you have to watch out for …. [It’s] an innovative game experience that ties together strong gameplay and great social features, an approach we plan to implement for all of our games moving forward.

The game is available for download from the App Store now if you’d like to take your Zombie army for a spin. Check out the trailer and pictures below.
