Needs major loot reworks PLEASE., because otherwise it is great game.
This may be the best game we have ever played. However there are some things that make this game a little incomplete. One of the reasons is the load time it is so long because us and our friend get into multiplayer raids, but it never loads. Second is updates this game needs more updates. Its already a good game overall but could have more guns or they should add trading. Very good game highly recommend.
The game is fun but fix the zombies , you could be 5 feet away when they wind up and you still take damage. Can you buff the sim as well for certain weapons? The damage is kinda funny, what would do more damage, a sniper rifle or a hatchet.
Why we can't load the game and it says wrong code 1001 Is that a game bug.
We saw the first MiniDAYZ, very good was filling but then turned to, not filling, as their wasn't much stuff, and easily we've gathered, got pretty much every gun and ammo and cloth their is. And accidentally stumbling on this 2nd one, seeing this game 4 times better then original, way more stuff to gather and grab, and the hazmat suits holy holy holy.we can't wait to get our hands on one. We've been wondering aswell We ever get one. But theirs military one oooooHHHH. Depends on rarity. And all of its, Durability, this is a game we've been looking for, though it's pretty hard, we mean zombies do a hefty ton of damage, and we don't do a lot of damage ourselves. And it's kind of annoying as Im 1/6th of original HP. Maybe zombies do 3 less damage ? But please add more gun types in the first one, like the m60. We hear about MiniDAYZ+ not available in App Store, which has a m60 in it. So just asking as a request and as a player!! We look forward to your next update haha.
We really enjoy this game Iv been playing it for so long and we wish you guys would keep updating it often and adding new weapons and stuff this game has a lot of potential to grow and get an even bigger community to support and definitely fund this because we have lol Thank you devs for reading this.
Beautiful game love the 2d nolstagic feeling. Please keep supporting game this is our #1 best looter zombie shooter.
We think that you should take PUBG and turn that into the mini dayz you could make this game so much better this is a great game its fun and interactive for like a ideal game so dont take this game down but make a better mini dayz and use a lot of the PUBG mobile game to reflect it off of.
Bro its perfect like perfect pls update the game.
Awsome amazing game, update more tho.
Definitely needs work, would love an exp system. This game is not nice to beginners. For help check out DaLukasMan on YouTube for tips, and helpful bugs.
We are a gamer from China. We have played this game for several years and have recharged a lot of money in your game. Your game is very good, but the online mode is too slow. Our Chinese players also hope you can continue to make minidayz3.
Great game , controller support would be great for this title. Thanks guys.
Itd be nice to play online with our room mate without lag we played without almoast any lag before but supposedly people say there arent any good servers running or something. So Ill just rate this 5 stars in hopes that yall will come back cus it was a fun game and has a lot of potential if you combined this one and the second one together into a mini dayz 3 omg you guys coild be making lots of$.
Add new updates and fix Multiplayer too buggy.
We actually never leave reviews a big thing we would love to see is the option to play on our Backbone with our controller.
Add controller support for backbone.
We love this game and idk if anyone else is getting this but sometimes when we come back from manually raiding a place the game tells us that it doesnt know if our cheating or not and we lose our stuff like guns weapons clothes or the stuff we found or our person dies and we lose all our stuff and Im getting piss that we find things we upgrade it and we lose not from dying but from the game thinking Im cheating Im fr mad but we think the makers should look into the anti cheats so other players dont get the same thing please look into this as fast as u can.
This game is being distorted but in actuality its pretty well made, just a few bugs but overall way better than some other 4.5 star games! Keep updating.
We have no one to play on multiplayer we feel like you should make it where you can queue up a random people.
It needs a new update because it need more things.
Game is literally amazing, glitchy but we love it Its literaly all ive ever wanted in a game Zombie survival, loot, explore and 2d But why abandone the game when it has so much potential? We just wanted that good games like this one doesnt get left behind and than removed.
Great game. Well balanced. We are sad we didnt play it before co op got removed. It would be great to add it back! Thank you :).
Instead of creating a second version, they should have continued working in the first game. It was far better. They over complicated this one for sure.
Our favorite mobile game may we suggest you should add motorcycles that you can find and fix up that would be a good concept also add mopeds would be cool.
We loved the first mini dayz and this sequel is great too. Still more or less the same game but with new features like a home base that you return to after every raid and you can craft and repair stuff even heal your little guys at this HQ as well. There is one thing though, in the first game there was a perk system where you would get points by surviving, and you could spend those points on perks, and that was cool. But in this game, thats no longer a feature, and Im hoping in a future update they bring that back. What Im about to say next is just a little personal complaint of ours but um we found a outfit, it was called the mechanic outfit and it gives you +15 carry space. It was super useful and we thought it was awesome. But then we died, and you lose everything when you die so understandably we were pretty upset about this. So we just wish that there was some way we could watch an ad to save our stuff. Anyway this is a great game, its challenging, and fun, and we cant wait to see what will happen next. We recommend that you get this game and check it out.
IVE BEEN ENJOYING THE GAME SO FAR we HAVE about 20 hr in but there is a multiplayer bug we havent been able to play with friends ever.
Add us everyone @Anun so we can play together.
Its a awesome game in all it just would be better with co op multiplayer.
But please make it a little easier to find stuff and give option when survivor dies to get the stuff with fuel.
The game is very challenging but a way we found to get loot and not loose everything is by equipping your survivor with nothing so when you scavenge everything you find is game and it will also teach you how to be sneaky and use bandits that you find as a tool to kill zombies and inevitably killing themselves or being weekend and as for you it is a win-win. So to the developers of mini days2 to keep it going and release Banger updates!!! Much love.
Ok ok we get that we are set in an apocalyptic type world and food is scarce BUT we NEED more food.
If Im wearing a farmers outfit and we get unconscious. Do the zombies take the outfit when its tight on our body or does it disappear out of thin air and what is ob wearing our default clothes do we get naked.
The 5 stars are just so this will pop up higher in the list or hopefully when you are looking to get this game it will be the first thing you see. Dont we cant stress this enough if you liked the first one just keep playing that one we dont know if the developers just needed money or just hopped on a band wagon but its 100% pay to play. You cannot do anything without the bought gear or you will spend weeks grinding just to keep getting trash over and over. Cant hide from any enemy cant put run em you get found your done they will kill you no matter what. Its not worth it.
This game is debatably better than the PC version. If they actually dumped some money and made this a much more immersive experience. (Larger Worlds, More Characters, Rewards, Better Server for Online Play) the game at its current state is a 3.5 game. If they fixed these issues and got more downloads with proper marketing this would be a solid 5/5.
This game may be broken and a mess right now but we see so much potential and we think others should as well instead of being incompetent and complaining so much. Bohemia is trying their hardest and on top of that there is a crisis going on in Ukraine. Dont be so selfish everyone! And Bohemia, you are doing a great job and Im sure you will fix the pesky bugs in this game and Im so sure that you will make the game so good but in the meantime we hope you guys are doing well. Thank you for being so faithful to the genre and giving us amazing updates. Keep doing what your doing.
Just update MiniDAYZ with co-op play cause this is trash to be honest.
Do U know Project Zombiod cant spell name correctly but u get the name( we hope ). Do u think you can follow some of that games idea b/c we think it can really inspire your game much more and we love games like this. But we like the first version of your game b/c u have no base and no one and we think thats the idea of the basic of your survival in the beginning. We think u should work on the inventory more b/c we hate how we cant store so much even if we have another gun to pick up. We think u should be able to carry more guns but it takes more space u know? We love this game idea u have so far so u dont have to change it that much and maybe try to see the reason your first version of this game has a higher rating and see why people love that more maybe u can get some idea from that too. Im here to help u get your game better to be more fun in the future and keep up the good game work :).
We are putting 5 stars because overall we absolutely love this game but we have one problem when we go to play any of the online part we get in a lobby with our brother and then we start the game and it just stays on the preparing servers screen and it wont go no farther then that. But other then that we love the game its amazing we just ask if you guys can plz look into it and fix that problem for us.
This games is really good and would love to se controller support for all the days fans that are on the go a lot.
We literally have all the ammo kinds of ammo with no guns only 1 type but its just so fun.
The co-op games are really laggy and its hard to play when you cant attack well, overall we enjoy the game its challenging and it would be cool if the devs add levels and perks like the first game that helps you out, and it would be nice too if carcter had different abilities like more space, runs faster , stronger or something like that. We hope the devs update this game and even tho it doesnt have that huge of reviews we still like this game.
It is so fun because we love playing actual dayz and this is somewhat like it…. We just hate when you go unconscious and come back to camp ALL of your stuff that you had on you is gone. One time we brought one of our best gun and we went unconscious…. (mind you…. We never died or went unconscious never) so we went unconscious then came back to camp and all the stuff we had on was gone. Also im just talking about our experience :).
We see a lot of reviews about bugs etc, our ONLY complaint is that the loot button and the attack button are so close. We tend to hit loot when we want to attack and get screwed over alot sadly. BUT other than that we love this game, it truly makes us feel immersed just like actual dayz does. A bit grindy and is slightly P2W BUT its amazing in every single way other than that.
We been waiting for update for mini dayz its Just like project Zombio.
This game is amazing and is far more different from the first one we love the fear the struggle and the survival . . . You guys did an amazing job and not only that but we understand that this did not take long to make and you put a lot of work into this thank you so much for giving us the enjoy meant of this game.
