Fans of the original Earn to Die franchise will surely love the latest iteration of the game. The current update offers loads of new features, add-ons, and a new gaming interface.

The story of Earn to Die 2 starts in the abandoned Exodus military base in Texas. In the original game, the base was the designated evacuation point to escape the rapacious zombie hordes. Unfortunately, Exodus has been abandoned and there is a new evacuation point: Florida.

So from Texas to Florida, you have to battle your way across the urban roads of America to prevent the zombies from eating your brains. This is where Earn to Die 2 becomes more interesting.

At the start of your journey, you will drive a beat up car to smash boxes, road blocks, and zombies. Your car, however, has limited fuel and you need to earn points to get to your destination. Your car is also destructible so you need to protect it at all cost.

The best part about Earn to Die 2 is the availability of new cars. As you travel down the road, you can pick up new cars and equip them with power-up upgrades including guns, armor, boosters, and other protective tools.
