Community Insight:
Great game just started crashing after 10 seconds after going past a certain level.
Love the game from the first 2 stages we played but when equipping the m16 the game crashes and continues to over and over. Please tell us a fix if possible or help in anyway we really want to play more.
Nice and simple artwork, fitting soundtrack, helpful and short tutorial, and great intense gameplay.
We know the arrow helps but you get it for too much time its annoying just get rid of it no please just thank you BECAUSE YOUR FIXING IT.
We use to love playing this game but we slowly got annoyed and sick of the spam of mini bosses and bosses it just throws out your way and it takes weeks just get past a single level even with the help of upgrades.
We started the game to the normal tutorial most games use to familiarize one with the game, but we finally got to level 7 when we realized it wasnt an adventure shooter, but a tutorial with animations.
This game takes all actions for you and doesnt let you make any choices. Whats the point of a game that plays itself.
Ive played this game for a month now and Im stuck on 55 the amount of enemies to the out put of damage is very low and the zombies have too much damage and range.
The mini bosses are too hard remove them or we delete the app.
Update: changing our original rating from 4 stars to 5 since the developers added back the ability to play old levels and skip around on the campaign map. This is crucial for those times you are stuck and need to either practice or get a really good zombie killing fix without playing defend your home for 40 minutes. Mind you, we love playing defend your home but we dont always have 40 minutes in one sitting to kill. Sometimes we need a quick fix. We still wish the following: 1. The developers would answer emails or communicate some way with players. 2. The developers would add more explanation to features, especially when changes are made. 3. The arena and challenges would also come back. The variety was good. 4. That the Zombies were more diverse in skin tone. We seriously do love this game though so let us say a few good things: 1. Graphics are amazing 2. Game gets progressively harder in a good way and with good variety 3. You arent forced to pay to play…there are other ways to earn what you need to have better weapons etc. We have made a few purchases to show our appreciation and support the game. We never made a purchase because we had to. 4. Ads are annoying but we super appreciate that they arent forced on us. We feel Im given a choice to watch them or not. Watching them saves us from forking out more $$ for the game but we feel we could choose other ways to progress without watching ads. 5. The game is what it advertises to be. Our original review: New version limits play, otherwise we miss the challenges, the arena, and being able to go back and do old levels new ways (using different characters). We also cant get as many chests as we used to. The new version also introduced new things without explanation, like the nuances of the token and the new online chest. For example, when we earn another online chest does it replace our existing online chest or add to it? If we do really well, Im afraid to negate our chest so we just stop playing (note: in the previous version we lost checks all the time unlike we had a slot to activate them inthe online chest cant be moved to one of those spots). Im also forced to buy tanks and certain enhancements that Id sometimes earn or could watch an ad to acquire if we needed it that badly. Heres the bottom line on the changes: we went from playing this all the time to hardly at all. We can only play campaign, defend your home and enemy territory. We play the later two once a day now, worried that we will negate that earned chest. We have been stuck on campaign day 60 for days. Since its tough to beat, we can't proceed. We cant go back to an earlier day and practice. We cant earn chests. All of a sudden, we are bored. Im hoping some of this functionality will come back and/or some explanations will be given. Also, we once sent the company an email and never got a response back. This is why Im not bothering to email again. Our question had been, why are all the zombies black? Let us explain why we asked this: when you start out playing a white guy (Don) with guns and all the zombies are black….um really?? Why not add a little multiculturalism to the zombies. Its great that the characters we can earn instead of Don give us some diversityyay for that.
The latest 1.2.3 increased the ad time to around 30 seconds for the majority of ads. Before the update ads were between 5 and 18 seconds mostly so this is very unwelcomed. Im currently rank 14 and received the BFG weapon which is very enjoyable. Once we reached rank 14 our experience points reset and went back to 0 of out 50,000. Its fine that our experience points reset but one question…what happens once we hit 50,000 points again? Im currently at 43,000 experience points but rank 14 is the current highest rank. We dont want to hit 50,000 expensive points again just to receive nothing. We have 3 stars on every campaign level, beat all the Challenges and finished the Arena. Im so bored of playing Enemy Territory and Defend Your Home now. Game is enjoyable but constantly pushing the in-app purchase is a headache. Please release the big update that includes the rest of the levels and hopefully more weapons, ranks, etc.
The game is very fun. We recently purchased the vault of gems and woke up the next day and it didnt save our data we dont normally write reviews but we emailed them and Ive been ignored after showing proof and nobody wont help us resolve the issue Ive waited a week for a response.
You people need to fix some of the crap that goes on in the game! Ive opened chest with gems only for the game to crash and when the game is reopened its showing that we never purchased anything. Either give us our stuff back or make up for the problems.
This game is amazing. We love the simple designs and how aesthetic pleasing it is. Although this game only has back and forth movement, you guys manage to make this game challenging. Some levels are kind of hard but the more you try, the faster you see the pattern to beat it. We love how this game makes you think and plan ahead to beat the level flawlessly. Simple and fun. The hardest challenge is challenge 14, which took us a long time to figure out how to dodge the attacks. We really enjoy this game and we hope you guys continue the good work and also add new maps/levels to it.
Games fun as all hell ! Dont make you wait a stupid amount of time to accumulate more $$ . Weapons kick ass , and those little helper gadgets really make a difference ( 4got what they called) BUT!!!!!!! The cards needed to upgrade weapons (good 1s) never show up. At the store its been the same 4 cards since we started. Even spent all $$ to see if a new one appears NOPE. Help us out guys.
This game is so fun and intense. When we downloaded this game we played it all day. The only thing they need to add is more traps and guns and vehicles. Also when you are fighting you should be able to pause the game. In the game if you get to a certain point. You are a sitting duck because the some levels are so hard that you have to buy drones and vest but they still dont help. Can you just add difficulty level to make it easier.
One of the best games Ive played on mobile in a while, but there is room for improvement. 1st of all we hope in the future the developers incorporate weapon skins and don skins, thats really it, love this game.
Good job guys! Please keep making updates and upgrades.
We love this game! A few ideas are: 1. Bosses Instead of the bosses going back and forth, add some more mobility to them! Jumping, flying, and maybe digging and coming back up. Something to make fight more like fights. 2. Different types of zombies Add some fast ones, some tanky ones, maybe some radiative ones(?). Just something! 3. Secondary weapons Everybodys saying this game needs melee weapons/ secondary weapons and we agree. This would make the game much more enjoyable and better. 4. Ammo Maybe make it take longer to reload or once you run out you have to use ammo boxes because even the shotgun is overpowered. 5. Squads You probably cant do this, but maybe do squads online or local co-op? 6. Mission rewards Maybe you can do missions and immediately get weapon or armor(#7). Also 1 gem 3 coins?!?!? Maybe make it 3 games 10 coins? 7. Armor(Im aware of the bullet-proof vest, but Im talking permanent armor) Armor. This can help with attacks and maybe even get like one piece of a set each time you win. Like you win one round, get cactus armor head. You win another, get iron leggings. Or maybe get armor sets(cactus helmet, chest plate, leggings, and boots) from the loot tower(#8). Armor sets like the cactus should provide defense and some sort of set bonus. Ex. Cactus gives attackers damage(like thorns). Iron armor could give you extra defense. Stuff like that. 8. Loot Tower Have a loot tower where you can get armor sets, weapons, etc. You start at the bottom of the tower and work your way up. Each floor provides better loot but greater difficulty. Disclaimer: You dont have to add any of these, just ideas. But if you do maybe have a shout-out??? Thanks. Hope you add some.
We LOVE this game so so much. Just test it.
We love this game its really fun and out of all the other zombie games in the App Store it actually is fun,we love hoe even though its not 3D its way better than other games, really good and makes sense,Cool guns to, we hope it has more stuff added since its small right now and then it will probably be the BEST zombie Game.
We love the animated zombie games and this just fell into our favorite category the only thing we say would make it better is in the arena mode you could see how long you could survive WITH a friend though.
We were bored looking at the App Store we saw the game and we downloaded it and it turned out to be our favorite game.
We LOVE this game it looks amazing and its just fun over all. We have a few suggestions (hope u like them). First of all please add skins for don because sometimes u get tired so maybe add hats or something. 2nd add secondary weapons, they will be melees so like the best secondary can be a chainsaw or something. Finally we don't know if u can do this but add 2 player multiplayer if u can! We would be great to have a friend and shoot zombies. Thats all hope u like them.
This game was awesome. We dont have any other way to describe it. Two things that would improve though is that there should be levels where you can save survivors but if they die it doesnt affect you but if you save them you get to play as them and they should have a signature weapon and you cant change it and also you probably already know this but you should get rid of chest timer.
Reminds us of games like inkvaders and zombieville overall its just a really fun game.
Best zombie game thats well made and amazing graphics.
This game is a very good zombie fighting game. Cool guns and weapons but it needs to be easier or different difficultys if thats there its a perfect game. Level 36 we used all boosters and didnt even win! Also you spelled the rarity wrong its Legendary.
Its realy fun Buttt There is one annoying bug we have 2 chest that we cant open them! They filled our slots and there is no way to open them!!! We finished the game and waiting for more levels Lots of tnx.
We actually really liked this game when we played it and thought it was great, but out of nowhere the difficulty of the game goes from 0 to 100, we feel like this game would be a lot easier if either it was made easier or the game better rewarded you in order to prep for how hard it gets.
Theres a part when you meet up with the 2nd boulder that there's no space to avoid it, an indestructible fixed moving obstacle. Completely halted our progress. Help.
We spent 400 gems on a package of drones tanks and epic chests and we didnt get everything. Just a disappointment we love the game other then this one issue we encountered.
Great Game But Sheesh Getting Less That 15 Gold And 2 Crystals For Literally Any Mission Or Challenge Is Janky As Crap . Update The System , we Can Barely Update our Weapons With The Scraps You Give Out Even For Completing The Mission With 3 Stars.
Good luck trying to complete any missions later on without boosters and good luck trying to get enough coins to even use them.
It had good animation but laced a good storyline and had no strategy. It didnt hook us from the beginning and that really made it lack the amount we wanted to play it.
We got duped into downloading this game from another game. Thought it looked fun. Its not too bad, but we can no longer open chests because Ive got some that are stuck on start after being assigned. We tried to contact support but they never responded. Sooo, Id avoid this game for at least awhile till they get it fixed.
Cant believe anyone would rate this above 2 stars.
The style is super clean and appealing, and even though there is a chest system, you can play as long as you want without limits! There's also enough diversity in the levels to keep you entertained. Super simple, super fun! What would be cool to see: – Rolling so you don't have to just walk through the zombies when you run out of room – The ability to aim before you start shooting to preserve bullets – Melee weapons for knockback or running out of bullets (which you should also be able to do but you can't as of now) [Very early review, only a few levels in].
This game is really fun and the best part about it is there is no energy system so you can play as long as you want the chest wait is a little long but we dont mind it.
