Dead Effect is a first-person shooter video game developed by inDev Brain and published by BulkyPix for iOS and Android.

Players can use explosives, iron sights, reload, change weapons, shoot and enter slow motion mode using virtual buttons on the right of the screen.

[9] In story mode, the player can play as either a male (Gunnar Davis) or a female (Jane Grey), although there is no difference in storyline or weaponry.

Set in 2045, the game begins with Jane Grey[a] awakening from cryostasis 178 days into the flight of the colonization spaceship ESS Meridian.

A member of the elite security team, "Unit 13", Grey is unsure why the computer has awoken her early, and so sets out to learn what is happening.

She discovers that the crew of the ship have turned into zombies; detecting unusual activity on board, the computer automatically awakened Unit 13 as per its security protocol.

Wagner tells Grey that the virus is man-made, developed as part of the "Dead Effect" project, but was accidentally leaked and infected the entire crew.

Although he was critical of the lack of originality in the plot, the poor voice acting, the absence of a run ability and no online multiplayer mode, he concluded that "at its core, Dead Effect is yet another fun shooter featuring everyone's favorite reanimated beings.

He found the voice acting to be so bad, that it helped the game, by introducing unintended comic elements into an otherwise serious story.

"[15] 148Apps' Blake Grundman scored the game 3.5 out of 5, writing "It isn't anything overly special, but it is a passable first person shooter on a platform already littered with far less fruitful attempts.

"[9] MacLife's Chris Pereira was less impressed, scoring the game 2 out of 5, and writing "The weapons, setting, music, and enemies are all uninspired, and the gunplay is too weak to compensate.

Although he praised the sound effects, he concluded that "for every positive element there's something to gripe about on the other end, whether it's the dull upgrade system or unremarkable shooting.
