Community Insight:
We wish it had the good graphics like the Android version which allows you to set the graphics to Ultra but it is still very good. Also the Android version is compatible with Bluetooth game controllers but this IOS version does not. Other than that it is a very fun game that we enjoy starting from the beginning.
We remember we played this back then cause we couldnt afford cod Blackops just redownloaded still lit.
This game has been on our phone for years now. Its a toss up which game we play more. This one or number 2 ;) kudos to the guys that got it running and keep it running.
We love this game you should play it and you should rate it a 5 star.
Great game, but would love to be able to remove the ricochet noise.
Not every time but every other mission success it just crashes it makes it Impossible to play this needs to be fixed we should be able to play a mission ever day to earn money not get a mission success crash.
We wish dead trigger and dead trigger 2 have training mode so the player can practice the shooting skill and testing out all weapons and make their own map.
Great game, leisure becomes phone.
We decided to redownload the game. Our ipad 4 with ios 10 downloaded an earlier version and it ran fine. On our iphone 6 with iOS 12, the latest version crashes immediately after loading the game. And it also instantly crashes on our 13 pro max with ios 18. Clearly something is very wrong with the latest version. Im surprised how the devs didnt catch it. Couldnt you test ios 18 at least? Most people still run ios 18.
The game is a masterpice guys but it will be so nice of you guys if you add keyboard and mouse support for our Mac laptop is a laptop running the M2 cpu. It will be nice if you add that support to all your games so peoploe can play them on theire MAc laptops or any apple computer. Keyboard and mouse support. We know is a game mean to be play on an iphone. But we beleive it could be play as well on an IMac. Please bring support to all iMacs. Thank you.
Online option to play with friends.
One of the best games Ive played as a zombie shooter.
We love this game. Its so fun and. You look like a booty person whos reading this.
We like the app . If only we could have money in our hand. The money we earn on here.
Pretty good game way better than the number 2 this game is on the AppStore since iPhone 4 too old but still really cool.
Great fun game very fast paced you have to be quick witted are die.
Ive been playing this since we were little and even though the graphics arent as good as they used to be its still a great game.
Please bring back the original dead trigger game icon the newer game icon isnt that good without this problem everything is fine its our childhood game that we used to play a lot.
Fun game to play at our workplace.
We need more zombie mobile games with an art style like this one, not to mention the atmosphere of this game is great. Imitating realism on mobile especially back in 2011 is a struggle that many approach but never get right, however you guys were able to pull that off in our opinion. This game is great and Ill always find ourselves going back to it, we have no problems with it other than the fact that there should be more content!! Although if our wishes come true and there does end up being content updates and other things, we dont want it at the cost of the atmosphere and art style of the game.
We love this game we made a nickname and we got unlimited everythings.
So much fun we love this game when Im bored at work we played nonstop and it allows us to deal with our stress,.
This is the best game Ive ever played on mobile it has better graphics and Resident Evil 4 remake.
This is a Great Game , love playing this Game.
Why there is No Updates for this game ? Please update this game ! So we can get New Levels.
Dead Trigger is a great game, but theres just one issue, playing the game without Wi-Fi kicks you out, so thats pretty disappointing, considering dt1 is a offline game for people to play Yes, this does apply to all mobile devices, so please fix the bug. (No idea if people had addressed this problem already).
Ive been playing this game on and off for about ten years. Its our longest relationship. We really do love it. We hope one day it doesnt randomly crash so much, especially after playing horde mode for rounds and rounds.
For some reason every time we complete a mission the game crashes.. Not every single time but most times and this wasnt always a problem, just a recent one.
If by any chance you are stuck without internet on your phone or tablet, this is an excellent passage of time. But to be frank we would only play it offline, this game uses tools like mental ownership, endowment effect and loss aversion to its advantage so you either keep playing or shell out your credit card. The casino in the start only is favorable when internet is off thats a fact, secondly everything is in copius sums of gold and money which you will never get and you lose it in buying health. We have chainsaw, shotgun with 240 and assault rifle with us and now we get hounded by hordes of zombies. You cant carry anymore than 5 bandages and you will never get a bandage within a mission. Further than that its always rinse and repeat of 5 levels over and over with no story. Also the better guns you get the more ammo you need to kill the zombies. It is however a good test of your brain under pressure. All rewards are Frugal at best. We have it since 2013ish and changed 3 ipads till we finally played it one day in 2025. The sequel is horrendous as he shoots automatically.
We like this game for the most part but there are a few things that Im not a huge fan of. 1, its not controller supported, we mean only the analog sticks work and thats it, and 2, u cant replay main missions and set them on the difficulty u want (we mean that would be cool with setting difficulties u want just like how dead trigger 2 was instead of the game setting them for u. And yes, we played the second one before the first one). It would also be cool to replay the main missions with the new weapons u get throughout progressing through the game.
Used to play a lot would play more but cant log into our old account cause it wont say what email they sent the password reset to.
Game will constantly crash after playing for more than 5 mins. We Looked online for a fix but the game still crashes on modern device.
Removed a perk we payed cash for big head mode.
Well still pretty much the best zombie shooter. Definitely better than dt2 and what is pretty much dt3. The problem with deadtrigger sequels is they aged horrendously. Dead trigger however has aged pretty well, like a cheap wine. The art style is what helps we like the real actor portraits of the survivors you meet/ do missions for. The in game graphics look very clean and crisp on new devices. Once again the art style in game here is good, zombies look great unlike sequels and weapons have a realistic approach. The controls are spot on (auto shoot would be a welcome option tho). Ahhh the controls… Only problem with controls is the iron sights or scope aim is next to useless because of some weird auto aim feature that works at random and totally breaks its function (precise aiming). Ive removed the button from the screen altogether to give us more on screen real-estate in control customization (just slide it off screen reset if you want it back). Really a shame you just cant turn off the absurd auto aim that totally throws you off track. Oh man now the glitches… Seems to be an audio glitch, audio just breaks at random. No reloading sounds and some other pickups loosing audio as well, like extra ammo and money. Be nice to see this fixed but ya not totally game breaking. Even as is this is still a decent zombie shooter considering the competition (pretty much none lol).
Please fix the game every time we choose to watch the ads to double our money it just friezes up and we have to close it all the time. Either than that we love the game too addicted.
Our iPadOS 17.5.1 game have problemsgaming will be quit directly.
We need dead trigger 3 as soon as possible please.
For the developers of this game, we thank you. This has been a fun and bloody part of our childhood, despite all the gore in the game this game has kept us entertained for years. Please continue adding more weapons and new maps, we know that you guys most likely wont be going to reply to us but just know that you did a spectacular job, we thank you for a part of our childhood. Thank you.
Every time we finish a mission our game crashes we already updated it and everything. We just dont why it keeps doing this.
The love we have for this game when it's not crashing is the only thing keeping it on our phone. We now learned of an automatic crash when we don't have wifi. What in the front door is going on man.
It kicks us out every time we click on the apppppp.
When using a Bluetooth controller players movement and camera control only works. No other button works please fix/optimize.
We didn't expect from you that we went into the game crashes at first we didn't understand at all, then we just went in with the Internet turned on, we could play, but we immediately failed before the game was better, the game could be played offline.
We are even more impressed with the spectacular work putting together this entertaining and fun game as we were when we first played it on our Galaxy Devices! Much better experience on iOS for sure. Apple does so much more with so much lies hardware wise. Great job to everyone involved mad finger Ive been a fanboy since shadowgun came out on the first ever duel core cpu on the other platform. Then out of curiosity we got an iPhone and cant believe how much we enjoy using it daily.
OK SO we ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME, EVERYTIME we PLAY THIS GAME IT TAKES ME BACK TO MIDDLE SCHOOL. We FORGOT ABOUT IT UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN we REDOWNLOADED IT AND IT'S EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS we REMEMBER. BUT – EVERYTIME we FINISH A MISSION THE GAME CRASHES, IVE TRIED IT ON TWO SEPARATE DEVICES SO we KNOW IT'S NOT THE DEVICE. CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE, we WANT TO CONTINUE PLAYING BUT CAN'T IF THE GAME CRASHES RIGHT AFTER we FINISH A MISSION.
CHALLENGING!!! & Entertaining.
Its a great game but it has a bug where when we open the game without any Internet it crashes so please fix it thanks.
Us ha gustado pero us saca cuando mi conexin no es muy rpida lo descargue porque deca que era fuera de lnea estoy decepcionado si arreglaran eso le doy 5 estrellas fijo.
This is THE ZOMBIE GAME TO AY SEEMS SO REALISTIC.
