Digital Reality and developer Candygun Games today announced that their zombie defense game, Dead Block, is available now on PC across several distribution networks.

Dead Block is an engaging, campy and humor-filled title that mixes zombie killing with tactical defense strategies, letting players defend their territory by discovering new weapons to strategically rock ‘n trap the invading zombie horde.

Dead Block is reminiscent of the 1950s when rock ‘n roll was the devil’s music, causing an apocalyptic musical plague to turn the deceased into the rocking dead! Strategically secure your home base by finding the most creative way to kill zombies using a variety of upgradeable weapons, and even rock them to shreds with awesome guitar power! Players will fight against the zombie onslaught as one of three players— Boy Scout Mike Bacon, construction worker Jack Foster, and no-nonsense meter maid Foxy Jones— each with their own unique “Smart Bomb” attack.
