The Walking Dead: Aftermath – Roleplaying Game Review
The Walking Dead: Aftermath is a Roleplaying/Action/Entertainment game from Ares Interactive, Inc., first launched in 15th July 2026.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 2,247+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes The Walking Dead: Aftermath Stand Out
THE DEAD WALK. SOCIETY HAS FALLEN. SURVIVAL IS ALL THAT REMAINS.
Rick Grimes woke from a coma to find the world transformed. Cities abandoned. Families torn apart. The living forced to become something new just to survive. Step into the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead universe and begin your journey where it all started, in an action game shaped by the characters and stories fans know and love!
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN.
Begin your journey on the outskirts of Atlanta, where a fragile camp struggles to endure against the constant threat of the walkers. What starts as a desperate fight for survival quickly becomes something more. A test of leadership and who you are willing to become.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Fight as iconic survivors from across the universe of The Walking Dead, including Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Michonne, Glenn, and Maggie. Each survivor brings unique weapons, abilities, and combat styles into every run. Some excel in close combat, while others strike from a distance. Choosing who you fight as can mean the difference between survival and defeat.
EVERY SURVIVOR HAS THEIR STRENGTHS
Build your camp and assign garrison survivors to strengthen your defenses, generate resources, and support your long-term survival. The right balance between combat survivors and camp leadership is critical to staying alive.
EVERY DECISION MATTERS. EVERY RUN IS DIFFERENT.
• Fight through relentless swarms and herds of walkers, including armored, burning, and other deadly walker variants
• Face dangerous human enemies, desperate to survive by any means necessary
• Take control of powerful combat survivors, each with distinct abilities and playstyles
• Assign garrison survivors to your camp to unlock bonuses and strengthen your defenses
• Grow stronger every run with new abilities, upgrades, and evolving strategies
• Build and defend your camp, turning a fragile shelter into a place worth fighting for
• Explore locations inspired by the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead
SURVIVAL IS NOT JUST ABOUT FIGHTING THE DEAD. IT IS ABOUT PROTECTING THE LIVING.
Fans of survival games, roguelike progression, and action RPG gameplay will find a fast-paced experience built around skill, growth, and replayability.
THE WORLD HAS ENDED. THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN.
How long can you survive?

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Exactly as advertised!! Thank you.
Good game. Like challenge tough game.
We love the Walking Dead series its our favorite and a game awesome.
Honestly having a great time, for all those playing free and expecting to be overpowered for later levels should know by now that NOTHING is free. We like to support devs that make good content in the gaming world, purchased both 30 day passes and have been absolutely loving it so far. If it gets too predatory Ill change our review and stance on it but honestly its been incredibly fun, Only complaint which is minor is the graphic cards when you upgrade in the game feelscheap. We guess we expected higher budget for a big license but its a small complaint, lets see how this progresses but so far so good and well worth your time if you enjoy survival aka bullet heaven shooters. 8.5/10.
We are loving this game but please removed the forced ads. We will pay for progression and even pay to remove all ads if we need to.
Awesome game so far been playing it for hour or so really fun love walking dead.
Very good and fun to play we love the Twd so much its perfect.
This is an excellent game. Its definitely one of our favorite mobile games now we love the free room in every chapter. We can see ourselves play in this for a while.
This very different cool game for walking dead.
So far been a fun game not to many bugs not a bunch of ads so far not any pay to win stuff.
Very good and very addicting game we love it.
Very cool game so far just started playing though.
We love the graphics for the game.
Vampire Survivors meets the Walking Deadwhats not to like? Addictive gameplay. We recommend you at least try it and see for yourself.
This game is fun to waste some time.
We enjoy it , even got the no ads.
This is THE arcade zombie Walking Dead game. We just started by we are we. Love with it all ready! What a fun gameplay loop and a great franchise to dress it up.
We like how challenging it is you really have to dig into your strategy toolbox.
Listen, Ive always been a fan of the walking dead as well as rogue lite games like this, so we were actually excited to see TWD just did this! However, Im pretty strict on which games gets our money, one of our rules (personally) we do not spend money on games thats passively earning from forced ads Im sorry but this kind of game, should not have forced ads. Archero didnt do it; they was a small time company and made it pretty big, even made a sequel without ads. Im sorry but Im almost tempted to delete the game already, Im really enjoying the gameplay, we think it needs a little work, but overall Im happy to say the game itself is really good and we actually almost bought Rick, but wanted to wait to see how everything is.. Then that ad hit us yes, 15 seconds bothers us. Im a parent with very limited play time. Please, just get rid of the ads. Im not sure if AMC is supporting the game but we know yall make enough money to not force it. Keep the optional ads those are fine, thats a choice. But forced ads cause irritation to everyone. Im not tryna tell yall what to do exactly but please take our comment into consideration, this kind of game does not need forced ads. We will spend money for progression. Like seriously.. Was very disappointed to see the ads.
Greatest game and tv series ever Im the biggest walking dead fan so we love any walking dead mobile game or console game.
Absolutely love anything the walking dead and this game is really good.
With a little tweaks a paid xbox version would be amazing.
Fun game, simple mechanics (vampire survivors) give it a go.
We recommend this game it may have spoilers but the game is fun and it is just like the show so we recommend to play this game so play this game.
PLEASE PLEASE DONT CHANGE EVERYTHING! We like this original! We love it.
Its so much fun we cant stop playing.
Love this game ! Keeps our mind of things we stress about ! So thank you! For finally making a game its actually fun.
This game is very good the story is good best TWD game ever.
They did a great job! Movement is smooth and enough upgrades to keep the action. So far we love the game.
Ive only been playing this game for a few minutes and its THE zombie survival upgrade game that youll ever need! Its the walking dead for crying out loud! Excited to get Daryl Dixon and have him be our main go to. Cant wait to see how this gets better.
Okay we really not into survival games but this one is great so far we dont really care for most of them because the zombies are either too fast or there too many but this game has balance there not to fast or too many to handle.
Theres a reason we pre ordered this.
Characters look good, and the music is nice. The gameplay is very fun and we enjoy the upgrades you get during gameplay.
We like it. Anything walking dead.
Awesome game! We love it. Im a huge fan of the walking dead.
Having a lot of fun so far. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Fun game with good potential. Timed waves instead of play til failure. We have not hit a point that demands for money yet, but Im sure its coming.
Its entertaining and fun to play.
Hi! Our name is Suave Prince and we are a Digital Content Creator that loves all forms of gaming we check out new games often and upon playing this game first release we love it. We are working on a video for and believe many should most definitely download and play. Keep it up.
Its hella fun, only been playing for a little bit but it is soooo addicting.
This actually fun we recommend it if you like similar games.
This is the best TWD game in the whole series of games.
Its been fun so far. Its different for a walking dead mobile game and we like it.
We dont really like the energy depletion but liking the game not gonna lie.
Love the game its just having to wait a full day for daily rewards to come in just so we can upgrade a piece of gear a few times seems a bit extreme. The power requirements for levels jump so high its a struggle to keep up without spending money. Id give it a 5 if the requirements of things lowered abit and the push to spend money to play is watered down at least.
The game has good gameplay but very little character and things to do but keep up the good work.
Some of the top character, Negan, Carol, Maggie, and even Glenn arent there, which is really upsetting. We think theyd get more players if they had those four.
So far so good!! Been playing most of the day. Hoping there is more content.
Love it will give it five stars once you add a chat system then itll be perfect for us. This day and age all mobile games should have chat in it thanks.
