Extra Lives – Action Game Review
Extra Lives is a Action/Adventure/Entertainment game from MDickie Limited, first launched in 22nd October 2017.
It’s rated 17+ and currently has 1,504+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Extra Lives Stand Out
See how long you can survive in a world full of brainless zombies and heartless humans! Develop unique relationships with 200 other characters spread across 8 warring factions – each with their own beliefs about what the problem is and how to solve it. Explore over 50 different locations on your journey to restore order to every corner of the city, with hundreds of interactive objects to help you along the way. Featuring an above-average combat system from the Wrestling Revolution series, tearing enemies apart has never been so satisfying!
Although the game is mostly free to play, you can upgrade to "infinitely" enhance your experience. Start with a character of your creation and save your changes to all others to make the world your own. You can even choose how many zombies you start with to either dive in at the deep end or ensure a slow build. Full access to the special "Deathmatch" mode also gives you all the fun of slaying zombies with none of the pressure!
HOW TO PLAY
Players of previous games may need to take the time to adjust to the new control system, which distinguishes between the left or right hands:
-
The RED fist buttons allow you to ATTACK from either side.
-
The BLUE hand buttons allow you to PICK-UP or DROP with either hand (hold a direction to THROW).
-
Pressing BOTH buttons on either SIDE will attempt to USE what is in that hand – such as eating food or reading books (notice that some actions may cause you to swap hands to use them properly).
-
Pressing BOTH pick-up buttons together will COMBINE the objects you have in each hand or nearby on the ground. Both hands can also be used to pick up larger furniture so long as they are empty and there is nothing closer to handle.
-
Pressing BOTH attack buttons together will attempt to GRAB your opponent (press again to release or any other combination of buttons to execute moves).
-
DOUBLE-TAP any direction to RUN.
-
Touch the HEALTH METER to SLEEP when your energy is low.
-
Touch the CLOCK to PAUSE – where you can exit or access other options.
I regret that there's more to this game than could ever be explained here, so please look out for additional hints in the game itself.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
You looking for a gore game on Roblox but its trash introducing extra lives you can have lots of fun not for children if youre child wants to play this game dont let them they might turn to a pcyho path in school.
Awesome, you need more and more recognition.
A 3d version of this would be the dopest thing ever just sayin.
We LOVE ALL YOUR GAMES please make this one 3d and the super hero sim.
We love the game, but we want it to be in 3-D and call it Extra Lives 2 thank you.
Please Upgrade This Game To 3D And Dont Give Us The Same Features And Items As We Have In the Other Games Give Us A Change Up In A Few Games.
Is a good game and we like everything about it but am wondering when is there going to be a 3D version of this.
The game is great fun to just lie down and wipe out numerous zombies. Only thing that needs work is the NPCs. The groups and people will just start opening fire if we dont give them the item they want.
Yall should really do a 3D version (our opinion) this is a very good game.
We love your games and this one is one of our favorites but first Id like for the zombies to be able to run second can you add more supernatural beings like sirens vampires werewolfs and thats it pls update.
Its so much fun you get kill zombies and fight em.
We been a large fan of mat dickie games for years all we have to say is to make extra lives 3d please bro.
So when im trying to take stuff our head and arms go away and our body is still there but our head and arms are not there so can u please fix that.
HELLO MATT we LOVE ALL THE GAMES YOU MAKE we REALLY DO PLEASE CAN YOU MAKE THE CAR IN EXTRA LIVES INDESTRUCTIBLE SO IT DOESNT BLOW UP AND MAYBE ADD UNLIMITED AMMO WHEN YOU UPGRADE TO PREMIUM AND ALSO ADD A VARIETY OF ZOMBIES LIKE A FAST ZOMBIE BIG ZOMBIE ACID ZOMBIE we REALLY LOVE THIS GAMES IT IS AMAZING we PLAY IT EVERYDAY AND MAYBE A SKILL THAT MAKES YOU HEADSHOT ENEMIES 100%.
Yo you know what would rlly be cool a boxing game and add ali mike tyson and custom characters just basically wrestling revolution or more like weekend warriors it would be a really cool concept and knowing you guys its gonna be an amazing game just a thought though.
We have been playing mat dickie since we were 4 and he just never misses on any of his games.
It would be great if you could create some kind of ww2 game with a whole boot camp experience and some axis and allied uniforms along with a few locations to do Battle always loved your guys games pls consider this thanks.
Sometime or all the time Im chilling minding our own business some one lets us join there group lets say the natives lets us join and we decline it and they attack us for no reason like if we dont want to join the group we dont have to and when we were injured in the game and lets say we broke our leg and we got it fixed then a random now come attacking us do no reason we lets say we broke their hand and they say what have u done Ill be scarred for our life like no we got it on this game we got our leg chopped of u u just have a broken hand u can literally find metal a bone or something like we have got worse and when Im in a group and someone in the group dies and we were at the inccind where he/she died but we didnt kil him /her and we get killed out of group or whatever.
Every time we try to load in to the game it goes to a black screen every time it finishes loading Ive tried refreshing but it still wont work.
Can you please make new updates and in all your games we really like them we want to see the new updates and also a new game to and we like your guys games.
This game is so sick and cool. We have been stuck to this game for so long.
This game is honestly one of the best games Ive ever played. We love how its realistic in survival and other things.
This is one of the best and most brutal mobile game we have ever played! If you like to kill zombies, play this game! The weapons are O.P, and this game so awesome that the developers gave zombies the ability to drive cars! If you download this, you probably wont regret it.
First would be really fun to make a game thats called in mdickie Online where everybody can play online and make your own game next one is a horror movie game just like extra lives but different it would have every movie horror One and it would have different chapters for the movie so do you have a great development stuff but those are two games that would be fun for the whole world please make it.
This game is good but the NPCs are annoying, also can you make it so random NPCs pop up in deathmatches, it just ruins the deathmatch and we have to restart.
This game is fun once you know the controls , AI Is good , Good is nice , Its a outstanding game all together , And the upgrade is at a good price , But there is one thing we must ask . Can you add police cars , and other Law Enforcement vehicles Like sheriff cars ? And abandoned military vehicles? , Thanks , Peace out.
Good GAME IT AWESOME BRO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
This game is great, the first one of your games we played was School days and overall it was a great game. But the dialogue needs work. We would kill someone who was attacking us first, and people would still blame us. We dont dont like this as it gets us killed most of the time and we dont really like becoming a zombie. But overall the game is perfect.
Thanks for creating this game this is one best game thanks.
This game is very great before we didnt use to like it but now we do but is there a way to add this game in computer but like 2d still not like 3D because its way more impossible to move you character in 3D so please can you add this game to desktop we would really love it.
We wish they had like just a life game without zombies.
You Really Did A Good Job This Game Is our Favorite In The Series.
We like your games but we think u should make a basketball game.
We are a super big fan of all MDickie games! Theyre always fun, interesting, and super hilarious. This game is probably one of our favorites of the whole series. One thing Ive noticed is a lot of people complain about the controls. If youve played MDickies other games, you know thats how all their games are. Theres nothing wrong with them. If you dont like arcade-type games then simply dont play. Awesome though. We hope they make more games and expand in the future.
Lots of fun! Well worth 3 bucks for the upgrade. Just want to see more wwe inspired characters like Peyton Royce or AJ Styles.
We think when you have the upgraded version of the game you should be able to have sex on the ground or on the bed. But other than that we love the game. Five stars. Thanks.
Simple, but very fun its the perfect iPhone game that fits in your pocket.
Other than the weapons gore guns and more we dont know if we can get a head shot without 3d.
Its a good game we think you should make a 3d version it would be better.
When we purchase to customize characters and extra lives, can you change the stats to 1000? Then we'll put five star.
This game is fire but there needs to be a 3D version.
We Need Extra Lives 3D For Phone And PC Also Consoles.
OK so the game is good but we have one problem overall, this game is really good mind you, but we find it really annoying when Im just trying to mind our business on the game and someone just randomly comes and beats us up and we just die so we feel like that is the only problem yall could fix. Game is really good no bugs, so yeah, the game is really good. Keep up the good work in MDickey.
The game is fun but we do have some complaints and suggestions. First of all, the combat is broken, but not in a good way. We can never hit the zombies with our guns, and dont get us started on the melee system. Instead they should have targeting based combat. Also, the zombies have too much HP. If we were bashing your head in with a sledgehammer, you would expect to have your cranium completely decimated, but they just take it like a chad. Also, why do we have to do EVERY quest an NPC gives us? Why cant we deny a quest? We hate being in the middle of trying to find food, and then an NPC shows up and is like, Hey go do this for us or Ill murder you in cold blood. On the topic of NPCs, they try to chat with us at the WORST possible times. Like bro, Im over here getting eaten and youre trying to talk to us about hygiene? This has just been a rant about what a dont like, but theres a lot we LOVE. One of the biggest pluses is the fact that we can find some of our FAVORITE WWE superstars surviving along with us. Also, we love all of the Easter eggs you can find, like how they put MJ (Michael Jackson) in as a playable character. Overall, the game has big ups and downs, but is ultimately really fun.
Every non playable character will attack and is needing something to make it more fun as the controls can be frustrating when your character is on the ground. Losing control after the moment.
The reason we gave it 4 stars was because when we bought vid we couldnt equip what we wanted to start with please fix that glitch and make more characters because the characters that you have are cool but you should add more ok thanks if you read this bye.
So we went to death match and we wanted to make a 5 vs 5 but we cant can you make it so that we dont have to buy upgrade just to make other battles other then 1 vs 4 and also can you add pets like dogs to help.
Why does it take so long for characters to get up when they get punched we dont understand this is why we only gave it four stars this is crazy yall need to fix this we might delete this game or do something before we delete it we cannot.
Really good but can you add more pistols and dirrerent rifles and can you add the tank in the game please that will us more cool and can you add flashbang grenade.
This game is good but we found how to get a family like how to get a gf and a kid but it doesnt work. Any other ways.
