Hmm just tried it out on Google Play. It's a basic zombie shoot-em-up, which I wasn't expecting. Crashed on me 3 minutes into the game though.

In the game, players take on troops in scenes the developer says are similar to real life

Fucking what sort of zombie shenanigans are going on over there.

I did notice the BBC was going with "the developer says" a lot there.

The article says the game had to be modified to stay on the app store. Maybe the play store version was also modified?

Must have been a substantial change. Zombies are melee only and move slow. I doubt the PDF's actual enemies do that.
