If you wanted the complete The House of the Dead: Overkill experience but didn't want to pay five bucks for it, now is your lucky day as The House of the Dead Overkill -- The Lost Reels has gone free to play on iOS. It comes with a gigantic, King Kong-sized caveat, however. Sega isn't simply giving it away out of the kindness of their own heart, but instead have converted the entire game to be supported with ads and microtransactions.

Microtransactions include things like in-game currency and weapons (some of which were available before), but by far the biggest offender are the advertisements. Every death is rewarded by a 15-20 second video ad for other iOS games like Deer Hunter 2014.

Maybe you should have paid the $4.99 after all.
