Kingdom: The Blood Is Here And Dark Souls Lovers Might Be Interested
droidgamers.comZombies? Kingdom? Soulslike? If any of these call to you like the undead toward brains, then we’ve got wonderful news for you. Kingdom: The Blood just arrived on Android, and it’s a grisly romp through an Unreal-powered world with plenty of guts and glory.
For the uninitiated, let me introduce you to the world of Kingdom. Picture a zombie apocalypse. What do you think of? Hazmat suits, shotguns, disused malls. Think again! Kingdom is very much a zombie apocalypse, but it takes place in 16th Century Joseon, the Kingdom (heh) that would one day become Korea.

It’s a free-to-play game, and there are all the trappings that might be a turn-off for some gamers. Different currencies, dailies, and the like. There’s no escaping it.
If that doesn’t put you off, and you’re eager for some hacky-slashy undead mayhem with a historical flair, then Kingdom: The Blood might be worth a look.
