Ailment APK download for Android: story and gameplay

The action unfolds aboard a spaceship far out in the galaxy. The ship left Earth on a research trip and to rescue another vessel. After the mission succeeds and the crew returns with their rescued colleagues, something unexplained knocks the hero unconscious for several days.

He wakes up remembering little beyond the rescue, only to find that nearly everyone on both ships has caught a deadly disease and turned into zombie-like creatures. Just a handful survived. Your job is to guide him through dozens of the walking dead, protect yourself and the other survivors, and find out what happened during those missing days.

Gameplay uses a top-down view and is packed with firefights and explosions. Use a range of weapons to keep the creatures at a distance and take them down before they reach you or your allies.

Content and atmosphere

The first thing you notice is the 2D pixel art, modeled on classic games of earlier generations. Fans of famous 90s action titles such as the Rambo series will feel right at home.

The dramatic story is told through cutscenes and dialogue between characters, backed by intense sound design. Hidden items and bonus points are tucked into the levels for players who explore, and you can get help from friends and fellow survivors along the way.

Ailment holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating and has passed 500,000 downloads on Google Play.
