Maysalward has just announced the release of its Free to Play Mobile game, ShaqDown 2, in partnership with One Spear Entertainment. The game is a massive 3D action/fighting episodic game experience, sequel to the 2D runner game ShaqDown which featured Shaquille O'Neal. In ShaqDown 2, he is joined by fellow legends: five-time national Wushu champion of China, Jet Li, three-time world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, three-time amateur wrestling champion Lee Kemp, and two-time winner of the competition “World’s Strongest Man” Brian Shaw.

This game represents yet another example of the larger entertainment ecosystem that Shaquille O'Neal hopes to build. “Being featured in a game with Muhammad Ali and Jet Li is a very exciting opportunity," O’Neal said. “The three of us are joining forces so zombies better be ready for a ShaqDown!”

Jet Li joins ShaqDown 2 as both a trainer and a playable character. His gaming character and power-ups are heavily influenced by Tai Chi and meditation. “As my fans know, I’m a gamer. The opportunity to team up with Shaq and Ali in a global gaming franchise like ShaqDown is very special,” Jet said.

Inside ShaqDown 2

ShaqDown 2 is certainly not the first in the zombie-killing mobile game, but it is the only 3D  zombie-killing game that uses hand-to-hand combat and power-ups as a primary tactic. The game has 3 modes of play: 

- “Story Mode” follows a series of episodes and different challenges.

- “Survival Mode” tests players’ endurance and shows them how long they are able to last

- “Training Mode” allows players to try out different moves in an easy setup.

Maysalward promise that they will keep adding different levels and maps for all three modes of play. On the downside, the download size for the game is huge at 233.9mb, so make sure your phone is capable of handling it.

The ShaqDown 2 zombie apocalypse game delivers a fast action-packed experience with impressive 3D graphics, responsive fighting controls, and video content taking place on the new battlefield of Los Angeles, California.  The game offers different outfits and power-ups for each character which can be immediately bought through in-app purchases.

Download & Play

ShaqDown 2 is available to download for free on the Apple App Store, Google Play and Amazon Appstore.  It is available to play in Arabic, English, Chinese and other languages and updates coming in the near future.
