Digital Spy said "Into the Dead is one of the best uses of the first-person perspective on iOS, and an absolutely fantastic infinite runner for mobile devices." Gamezebo said "With Game Center online scoreboards and achievements that we will no doubt be struggling to top for weeks to come, and more modes promised in the near future, Into the Dead is a bit of a must-have for mobile - especially if zombies hit your spot." TouchArcade said "When it works, it works unbelievably well - and with no asking price for those early, heart-pounding moments, there's absolutely no reason not to get this game." Multiplayer.it said "Into the Dead breathes some fresh air into the endless run genre, delivering an atmospheric, intense and nonetheless free experience for your iOS devices." TouchGen said "One minor annoyance is the functionality of weapons; these cannot be aimed and are predominantly effective against zombies that are right in front of you." AppAdvice said "A refreshing take on the zombie game that while simple, and perhaps without longevity, is full of immersive atmosphere." VideoGamer.com said "Endless runners rarely offer up too much variety, but there is something oddly appealing about Into The Dead. Let's keep it simple: if you like zombies, buy it. Yeah." iFans said: "If you enjoy a zombie game on mobile and want the next level thrills and graphics then Into the Dead 2 is perfect for you."
