Community Insight:
Please bring back the pistol good idea number one when scavengers look for scrap metal, they have a chance of finding pistol ammo.
We love this game so much and Im so happy to see so much more content coming.
There is a bug with saving on mobile.
We really like the game but its SO STRESSFUL because it takes a long time to invest in a town and one bad five minutes to wipe it out. It needs an endless mode.
You see we loved the game but there is 1 thing we must ask IS THE FREE VERSION THE definitive edition but with adds.
This games pretty fun, gets repetitive though. Our problem with the game is that when you open any menu it doesnt pause the game, we opened the job menu and we didnt notice it was night and died, lost a good 1 hour of work.
Ive been playing this off and on for a while and we used to like it because it looked simplistic not anymore we wish it had stayed the way it used to be we would play a lot more if the hud graphics hadnt been changed.
We cant wait for the full version to come out ! Thank you guys for developing this incredible game.
Its great but its to fast we def need a pause button.
Ive loved this game for over a year but ever since the most recent update it no longer registers our Apple Pencil. Our Apple Pencil works fine with everything else. Please fix this issue because we doubt Im the only person who prefers to use an Apple Pencil instead of our fingers on the iPad.
We have huge hope for this game, we cant wait for the full release. Ive already pre ordered n made some purchases recently to help support the devs plus to keep our outpost going lol. Big hopes and good luck devs you have our support.
Its a fun idea with great things to do, but theres not much to do and every time you get anywhere you get killed and theres no way to save yourself. Its annoying getting to where you were and finally being able to get somewhere new and then getting destroyed by the blood moon or whatever it is, if there was a second chance besides paying to come back, it would be better.
The game is fun to play. But in real life, it takes at least 3 weeks without food to kill someone so when your camp has no food, make it so the citizens die in at least 3 weeks. And add medicine buildings too and water buildings too.
The game is great. Just writing about a bug we found. Seems completely random, but every so often.. Any jobs we assign that take place outside the walls dont work. Despite being daytime. The assigned people just arent there all day. Luckily it resets by nighttime.
Ngl Ive been non stop grinding on this, once the deer surplus dies kills us, but Ive restarted prolly 10 times. We enjoy it a lot. Although we feel like the game moves too fast. We would love it if the days were a little longer, and we guess the same as nights hit we cant ever wait for it to be daytime. Im excited to see what else will be added to the game soon :).
So maybe it is just a little. We dont think youll have an easy time getting past winter without suffering from starvation or spending money. It would be nice if there was a medium mode. We played this game a while back and it was much easier.
We think this game can be so fun. Even tho we can never get to far lol that might just be us. We still find it fun. Altho its so extremely painfully obvious that every single person playing this game will remove knife fighters in the morning and give them new jobs in the day and vice versa at night. We kinda wish they had an auto button. Like pause the game when you go to the screen and you can choose how many workers from what jobs turn into knife fighters at night then go back to their normal jobs in the morning. Would make the game soooooo much more enjoyable.
Game Loki cool but it kinda gets repetitive we would like to see some permanent upgrades so we can play the game with some changes.
We play this game a lot and its one of our favorite games we have died so much but we still like the game. We wish that if a zombie broke down your barricades. It was like a mini game or a fight with all your guards and the zombies just like maybe something to keep your outpost. Spending money like maybe one of those things where you have to watch multiple ads to keep it we dont know its a good game.
Great game but in our opinion its a huge bug that sometimes we wont have any workers out even tho we have 50 assigned people and its daylight Ive got to several points and our workers were gone and then the next day no food and lost 10 people right before blood moon.
So Final Outpost is a very challenging game its made by independence. It is not a gimmick pay to win game. In our opinion. It truly is a game that you can sit down in the office and knock out a couple of steps and not feel like youve wasted your time months later Because it slowed down or had to pay bridge paywall to it. We wish there were more games like this on mobile where corporations didnt just spit out different versions of the same game over and over and over this game just isnt that. Its truly one of the good mobile games and lets be honest mobile games. Dont get the greatest repetition.
This game is very hard and good at the same time we will keep playing this game but can you pls add the bow as a weapon to defend the outpost pls.
Never played a game like this before and we love it. Just wish there was a sandbox mode and maybe a more buildings.
Your just making it pay to win now the old version was good and we like what you added but ether lower the difficulty or let people chose easy hard or peaceful maybe normal like bruh once the games become pay to win or hard to the point you have to pay to win it makes it not worth playing like we like the game over all just make it less pay to win with the nights and amp up the deer that get born over night and the farming time like bro. Im just trying to help and tbh you will lose a lot of people with it seeming pay to win like it is now.
This game is cool because it helps us reflect on how life is similar to this game. You must manage your resources and productivity in order to keep surviving and we find that aspect really enjoyable.
The first 100 days are a good challenge, but once you figure out how to survive that long, getting to 150 days is easy. Beyond 150 days, there is virtually no challenge. Took us a few failed outposts to get to that point, but now that Im here, the game becomes far too easy. We think what this game needs most is an endgame win condition. Given that, the game could be balanced to be challenging from start to end, but as is, its nearly impossible to lose once you figure it out. Im currently on day 230, all of our buildings are max level, our walls barely take damage on blood moons, and the only way we can imagine losing is if we stopped collecting food entirely. We just wish there was a reason for us to keep playing.
We played this game back in 2021 and left a 4/5 review because it was overall a great game at the time. We loved the mechanics, and there was only a couple issues that we hoped would get patched. Well, so far its even better than ever! Im loving the updated look to everything, the new UI, and Im SO glad the developer patched the A.we. Cuz the knife dudes drove us nuts at the start until we got snipers lol. And Im just happy overall this game wasnt abandoned, cuz now we get to enjoy it all over again! Its gonna be interesting to see how well we do this time after so many tries in the past to survive until we technically won the game lol.
We played this game around 2020 and the improvements and changes have been so incredible, the devs are outstanding and continue to make great updates.
We love the game but we wish you didnt die so often at the beginning. Ill start and then 2 nights after the blood moon. Im gone. MAKE IT EASIER DEVS resource wise at the least and death wise.
This game is a gem, bright future ahead. Makes us want to support the devs the fact that there are no obligations for purchase and no ads.
Really fun strategy game with no ads!!! There are some in-game purchases but nothing required to play the game. We bought some just to support the developer. The developer is also making updates to the game and Im excited to see its progress.
It soooooooooooooooooooooooo good.but challenging game.
This game is the peak of mobile games. One of the only mobile games that are genuinely hard too, long ago the game got easy late game but now when we came back almost a year later, we got dominated on just night 25. Not only that, we only got that far after multiple attempts and citizens actually can starve to death and they added deer population. This made it hella hard if you dont start using farmers but they revamped them to actually only harvest crops after a few days and our outpost was getting cooked . There is so much potential for this game, and we love it. We suggest adding veteran workers, people who work at a specific job long enough get more skilled at it and work faster. Happiness and lazy people would be a great addition too, also add easy normal and hard bruh we cant be getting cooked this hard . Good game tho 5/5.
Make it so there are skills that you keep after death sontherenisnalways something to work for.
Mobile games lately have made it seem like they have the perfect game only to be ruined by fake player freedom of choice, too many ads, or just not as engaging as advertised. Final Outpost fixes all of these problems. Engaging gameplay for hours on end, no ads, and doesnt push in-app purchases. We love the resource collecting aspect of games and this ones does it fantastically. Forcing you to think logically about how many people you put towards certain jobs allows the player to have a say in how their game goes. If the player doesnt chose right, they fail. We cant wait to keep our eye on this game for future updates and new content. We can see a lot of potential for expanding gameplay and even offshoots of this game for different world settings. Id be proud if we developed this game. Well done team.
We really love this game. We really do! Its a good strategy game that never gets boring. Until the farming changed. We used to use farming as our main food source!!! And now that meat is limited, we really think its dumb to make it to where you can only get crops every three days. Our civilizations people are dropping like flys so now instead of 10 lumberjacks, we have to get 5 in order to protect our wall. Sure, the update makes it more challenging, but now our forests have run out and all we can do is stare at the harvest timer.
Im having trouble with the 2x mode we have it on the hold mode but if we hold it for too long it gets stuck on fast mode then when we hold it again it go into normal mode. Its not that big of a deal bc we just save and exit and it fixes itself. But it is annoying. Games great Ive been loving it.
Was super fun for like 2 days its a cool concept but the game is totally against you. Meat runs out super fast and does not restore in a timely manner and at that point its you vs the clock to getting farms. Ill probably play it for a couple more rounds and then delete bc when theres lack of chance of winning its just not as fun. Definitely could be an amazing game!! For the devs- maybe possibly make upgrades not as expensive and fix the meat problem. You could possible expand and add more features like fishing or something.
We usually play games for fun but also their achievements but we hate buying stuff but when you have to pay to get a achievement its sad but other than that its a great game keep up the good work.
We would enjoy the game if it had way better graphics.
Why is there population counter for the animals? We guess that youre trying make the game more challenging but there should be an alternative food source, like bread, berries. This is still a great game though just a little difficult.
We really don't know if the owners of this game will see this but if you do you should add multiplayer like 2 to 5 people if the owners do see this, this game is amazing.
When there are more and more residents, the game experiences some lag and is not smooth.
Not much to say but its a fun survival resource-managing game to pass time with. Very simple but fun, cant wait to see how the devs keep evolving the game.
We personally really like the game we have recently been on a road trip and this was all we played on the way back, it keeps you hooked while making you want to play more. But there is one issue, we are in mid-late game right now but if our people dont get their Hourly Wheat/meat they die off immediately. It is very annoying especially when it is winter, which we get winter is supposed to be hard, but for them to die without their hourly meal is just dumb. So what we suggest is wait at least Half or a full day before they start to starve.That would be a bit more realistic. Other wise we are loving the game. Keep it up guys.
The graphics is not good but the idea is so clean.
Please why you even made it that we have less storage for bullets everything is more expensive we cant make metal sheets instantly we cant make bullets anymore there are more types of zombies you made research harder and more why the late game is so hard now we liked the game when we used to play.. If you want to listen to our story from a year or 2 ago Im the game we had 100% it we had bullet production maxed out we got to watch now before the 1.5 update we had maxed out research and was quite far exploring the new things after a year and a half break we were exploring new stuf but now the end game feels impossible.
Pre update wouldve gotten five stars. Post update gets two. Yall really Fed up our game we were doing great. Our skills were up we were literally two skills away from completing the whole tree. Look after the update and we had to start our skills over. Which was not a good time bc the zombies we were already dealing with are advanced. We had 45 people on the wall we should have survived the night no problem. But nope, sigh Im going to play this new update version since it cause our outpost to be breach but if is booty cheese Im uninstalling this game immediately.
This is by far the best mobile game Ive played. It requires thinking ahead, resource management, and population management. However, Ive come across issues which, by being addressed, could be immensely beneficial to the game overall. Firstly, we came across a bug where you delete a ours, save and exit, then return as its still in-game. Hopefully, this ghost building bug can be fixed in a future update. Secondly, and the most important one to note, is resource usage. You go from wood to stone and likely scrap for wall maintenance. The issue lies in that you need extreme amounts of scraps for bullets and buildings too. Wood and stone seemingly become only used for building creation. Itd make sense to spread resource usage as evenly as possible to continue properly managing. It makes sense wood be used for buildings. Perhaps itd be best to keep stone used for both building and wall maintenance. Whereas scrap can be used in making bullets and making scrap metal sheets to be used for buildings. This system would allow using all three resource types and have a vital role for each within the outpost. Lastly, is it possible for there to be another game mode thats about keeping the outpost going even after the population is no longer present for a time? We say a second game mode because itd be nice to have the challenge of the first game mode, but also beneficial for those looking for more casual play while still keeping elements of the initial mode. Of course, if this were to become a mode, there should be a portion of buildings destroyed, deteriorate a level down, etc. To keep it interesting. Overall, the game is simple yet complex enough to keep someone engaged. It definitely can benefit from optimization. However, its definitely a very good game as is right now. We highly recommended to anyone wanting to play as it is fun and fairly challenging. Just keep ahead of your resource management and population.
The game was really fun early on in the game when you didnt really have to grind so hard just to get the officer and having something like that early on made it a tad bit easier with surging as well. This is just a thought see if you can add the officer back.
