“So far, we’re loving every second of our time with The Walking Dead: Assault. If you’re into the Walking Dead universe or squad-based strategy games, you can pick this one up with confidence. Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to dive back into the post-apocalyptic world.” – Chris Reed, Slidetoplay.com
“One of the best games I have played. Ever… Walking Dead!!!” – Jonathan Ross, entertainer
