Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its so awesome seeing some of our favorite games like this. A great mobile game to have on the go. The boards are all SO detailed. Its like every time we play we see something new.
DOOM has to be one of the greatest tables of all time. This collection is the apex of Zens offerings. Zen Pinball World is both gimmicky and awful to play on iPads (including Pro M4) with horrible frame rate and poor use of screen real estate. Zen: if youre listening, this is the one. Build your tables like these and Ill gladly fork over our money, even if we have to re-buy the same games.
This is a very fun pinball game; the matchup mode is fun since you have unlimited balls within three minutes. We especially enjoy the Skyrim game because as you advance through the main quest you get different challenges to complete and this makes it really interesting and because we like both pinball and RPG games like Skyrim then it makes it like Im playing an RPG and pinball at the same time.
We finally got full LOOT on Fallout table, thus giving us multiball and we have to say we were throughly disappointed, we may have done something wrong but the extra balls just instantly exploded giving us 7.5 mil points. Other than that this is a really fun game and we def recommend it.
This game is so sick all the sound Fx makes us feel like Im in the game just makes our heart race lol we love it thanks.
We're not the villain in this story. We do what we do because there is no choice. Our time is up. We can't kill you – but we won't have you standing in our way. Until we see each other again.-Samuel Hayden.
It just works-Todd Howard when talking about fallout 76.
We like just because it has doom in it.
Hey we love the game has amazing graphics for a phone and love fallout and had to problems but we wish yall make a little fallout game for mobile since theres not one we dont mean like fallout shelter we mean like a real deal we think it would be popular now ik thatll take a while we can wait and yes ik the graphics gotta be taken down a lot and have a somewhat small map but we can wait and deal with it! :D and please do this we were waiting for a fallout game on mobile forever and still am but Id love that and we think everyone too will and maybe like have a shop where you can buy mods and make mods and buy caps and guns:) so plz make a fallout game!! :D.
These bundles are a great selection but only 214 rate 3 month since update sad to say for the ones that play this game like us these pinball looks like the nearing there days very sad.
Its a good game good graphics for when it was made and we still play it for the doom segment/ tables but its good so if u like doom of fallout then get the game 1 catch u can only play Like 3-6 times before u have to wait a day for the tables to restore so get the game just be ready for the draw back.
Please hook up support for the Backbone controller. Good fun otherwise.
We hate how theres such a long waiting time for your power to replenish. Twelve hours is too long, you guys need to shorten it.
Its a pretty decent pinball game. We do wish there were records for single player and the fallout one would save your character like skyrims table. We also wish there was a chance for 2 player, but other than that its pretty awesome and havent had a single game crash.
Love all the tables but is there a way to reset your placing on the challenges?been hard getting past top 30. Lol. Wouldnt mind starting over.
Us Gustara Que Sacaran Juegos Como Wolfenstein II, Prey, Rage, Dishonored Y The Evil Within.
Actually, we love the game. Our only issue is we cant go backwards any pages. If we click online match and change our mind, we have to close out the game and reopen it. Its kinda frustrating. Is there any way to fix this guys.
Crashes within a second of opening it. We cant get to the Home Screen. IPhone 13 on latest iOS version.
This is more of a cash grab than anything from EA.
Server connection error has been showing up & it can be glitchy in the menu areas BUT its rreeeaaally cool especially the fact we could chose our Skyrim character to be Khajiit & its reminiscent of a text based rpg! Very cool & its beautifully animated but yeah the server issues arent fun.
You can only play three matches every few hours, or spend gold worth around two matches for single player mode. Or pull out your wallet… This is the kind of aggressive monetizing that is ruin8ng the mobile gaming industry. Also, every other match the sound disappears completely. This is in an Air 3.
When we play the short three minute games to earn coins the game works just fine but as soon as we use the coins to play without the time restriction then the ball immediately shoots straight down the center or goes off the sides in the gutter lanes. At first we thought it was bad luck but after using coins to play multiple games we have noticed the ball tends to shoot to gutter lanes or straight down the middle way more often than the timed games. We get the feeling this is done on purpose to make people get more coins. Makes the game unplayable when in less than three minutes Ive lost all our shots.
Will be a 5 star game when they resolve the bug that makes you have to hit the left (side) bumper several times to get it to work. Almost 100% of our losses so far are because the left bumper not responding.
Great game, we love the Skyrim table, as long as you pay the $3 to buy it so you dont have to deal with the pay to play system. HOWEVER on the iPhone 8 theres some weird crunchy distortion noises every time the flippers flip or a lot of the other pinball sound effects.
We love the game but it says maintenance servers are down and its been like this for 2 days now :( we want to buy another table but am not able to.
So we installed this game because it looked like it was going to be fun, we tried to play single player and it worked for one game but then it said that we needed coins to play it again, and the only way to get extra coins is if we play against others and earn coins. Which is stupid. Why cant multiplayer be different. Or you can just earn other stuff from it. So we have to give this game 2 stars.
Seems as if the devs dont care about improving their product. Ive tried reaching out about an ongoing issue where we are unable to connect our Facebook account w within the game. Which is a shame because that prevents us from playing and competing with friends who also play this game but arent on an iOS/iPadOS device. Also, preventing us from taking advantage of getting free coins so we can continue on with an ended game if we want to. And this isn't a Bethesda issue. It's whoever the lazy, cash hungry developer is that licensed and programmed this unpolished "game". Because they are the same devs who made the 'ALIENS' pinball game (which we'll admit is actually much more entertaining) which, too, suffers from this exact same bug of not being able to connect to Facebook, which has been plaguing it since we originally downloaded it almost 5 years ago. On top of the in-game monetizing system they have in place that costs you an arm and a leg to play in single-player mode.. The issue we stated above pretty much kills any bit of joy and fun we received while playing it. We love the DOOM franchise, but this game tarnishes it's very name and leaves an unnecessary bad taste in our mouth. DONT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME.
This game has always been buggy, but since the last iOS update we can no longer change the camera angle and other options seem to be missing as well. We went to the app support site but this version of the app does not have a thread, so no support. Considering the foolery of Bathesda this past few years we suddenly find ourselves at fault for not deleting and boycotting until CEO olBobby K lets loose control.
This app is Broken AF! Cant even connect to our Facebook account before it crashes, not to mention we already paid for the full unlock when it was newer app…this is sad.
Weird dead spots in the fallout table where if you touch the screen, the flippers dont react. Maybe other tables are better, but the fallout one is frustrating.
Have a long flight and need good games to keep you entertained? Look elsewhere, FAIL. It needs a constant connection, will not work in Airplane Mode.
Seriously, since the last update, the game has become aggravating to play. It is not a consistent behavior, but we have learned to keep our thumb down after ball out, and it is not player error. And dont bother telling us to contact support. That is what we are doing, while simultaneously alerting other players.
This game doesnt run at fullscreen on iPhoneX. And the flippers are not responding well. Some times flippers dont responds.
The game is quite fun but fsr we can no longer play as it says that the servers are down for maintenance and makes it unplayable Please fix the game as it and pinout are the only good pinball games we can find for Iphone.
Bethesda, we know you have problems keeping arms and stuff behind a wall but this is just an embarrassing money grab.
Just Downloaded the game and it wont even start so disappointed!!! It freezes once ZEN appears on the screen.
We have this a one star because.we just completed the DOOM pinball and unlocked a new table and the freaking game is froze up now! Are you kidding us!!!!!! Not happy.
How do we get this to work ? It crashes on new OS.
Wont start. Crashes immediately on opening, on iPhone 11, iOS 15.
Bought the table pack before setting up the Game Center thing on the phone, once we went through it (just to make the pop up go away) its like we never bought anything. When we went to settings and restore purchases, it tells us there are no purchases to restore what? Seriously? Dont give them money unless and until you set up the Game Center username on your device. Feels like these guys straight up stole $10 from us. Ill give it to them that the tables are well designed and a lot of fun. This is absolutely unacceptable though.
IPad Pro 10.5inch. Fresh install of app. Crashes right as it reaches the accept terms pop up. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No help. IPad is on latest update as of this writing.
Cant even get the game to launch.
Bought a table outright and we cant play single player when we want?? We have to win challenges to play a game we PAID FOR?? We have to pay again to play a table we ALREADY PAID FOR?? If it seems like Im upset, youd be correct. We have a virtual pinball machine coming and this scam of a company wont be on our new machine. Everyone should stay away from this money grab company.
They charge 120 coin to play single player that is just sad they really need to just take this down if they are going to be this stingy should be banned.
Ive played this since it was first released And to be honest its a great game with 3 awesome tables BUT after purchasing all 3 tables MULTIPLE times and having to contact support to restore our purchases it once again is trying to charge us for the other 2 tables available , in this case doom & Skyrim AGAIN. Total scam rip off . Dont get stuck paying to play after purchasing the other tables . The app wont give them back to you unless you buy them again. After 2x we said enough was enough Im NOT buying it a 3rd time. F-you zen pinball you are con artists.
We clicked on the shopping cart and bought the doom table for $3.00. We still dont have the table and it is still giving us the option to buy. Game took our funds but did not sync that we made a purchase.
No way am we linking anything to Facebook ever, so we acknowledge spending 10 bucks to get your best deal but am unable to complete any purchase.
Why do we need to be online to play pinball.
Too often the flippers stop working for a second. Could be cool we guess but the controls kill it for us.
This game does not give you a choice to play single player until after you pay extra for that service. Deleted.
