Community Insight:
This game is an absolute masterpiece and a hidden jem, we were a little skeptical based on the reviews because of the amount of ads they said would be in the game, we downloaded, locked and loaded. This game has little to no ads less than expected if you are looking for an entertaining, time waisting game with zero to no ads, this game is a great contender.
First off we want to say we love this game too much to write a bad review about it. Few suggestions like multiplayer, for the house to not be on the thirtieth floor of a skyscraper, just so that garage can open, and a mod browser dont care if its through mod.io or if its independent, we just want something more, we say More Because the city has been the same since the beginning. For the mod browser we dont even care if the first mod is a house with nothing in it, we just want user customizability, and more new updates. You could even name the update The Big M It doesnt matter. And finally please add stackablele customizables, just so we can have sunglasses and bandana and a gas mask. Thanks for allowing us to recommend you.
- Too many ads. 2. Not sandbox-y enough for us. 3. Wish there were more guns.
Fix the AI car the cars are going on the sidewalk crashing into building. And put more AI car.
There is a really good game, but we wanted to asked the developer to add like when you hit the citizens they try to attack.
This game is a must-have! We downloaded it recently, and it is awesome! And a tip, zombies dont come until one irl day passes. It is truly amazing! Definitely a game that you should have.
This is the best game we have ever played we love how you can roam around the city and customise your sports car but we have one thing to ask can you guys make it where if you run people over police chases you but other than that best game everrrrr.
This game is so fun to play it feels like you can do what ever you want! Also if you go on airplane mode you get no adds.
Please read hey guys can you fix the car problem because we saw the cars hiting people and going on the side walk. That is a problem so can you fix the programming ok thank you for reading.
Real fun only downside is it needs more guns but other than that its pretty entertaining.
This game is great but we dont like all the ads if it didnt have ads its five stars.
We were playing and then we brought a bat but the thing were you can punch and kill zombies well its in the middle please change it its uncomfortable.
We like how you can kill other npcs but you should add like npcs attacking and to add a daytime and nighttime mode.
We love the game with the zombies in it and weapons, but there was this glitch that when we were playing the game, we died randomly when we got out of the car. And whenever we tried to get out a weapon, it kills us?.? Pls fix this glitch.
- Make Cars Faster – Make Cars Explodable via damage – make more buildings open like the home building.
We opened the game and it started moning as our car was moving Sid to Sid such a gay game.
This game is really fun but we wish there would be no adds so the game play is better also we wish the cops would help the player fight off the zombies instead of standing there watch us do all the work.
We have been playing for a few years but why cant you shoot in your car.
Could you guys please make the map bigger and more cars but overall its a pretty good game.
More weapons would be great for this game for many reasons first of all its the zombie apocalypse where everybody would need all sorts of weapons. Personally, we do not think just a baseball bat an MP4 and grenades is a lot like more weapons like things you could kill zombies for like AK M4pistols.
Game is so good, but why do we have a racket? First, you should add emotes or a insta ragdoll button to lay down, or emotes to sit down.
Alright we really like this game the combat and open world free nature is very satisfying and the missions are fun and we like the city and the new update but we have some recommendations we would love. First we would LOVE it if there were like cafes and more stores then just the one like 7 11s and candy stores and cafes we would LOVE it and honestly if that actually got added we would probably pay for no add. Second is a bit small but we would appreciate it if you could turn off slow down in the settings so we could run over more things overall great game but u would love if these things were added.
This game is very fun, but could you please add a very good update that you could become even stronger and when you select the weapons you hit way harder than before and can you do like a window please see the player hitting the characters. The police will chase after you with a bat and you could hit the police officers too. Or something whatever you want.
This is like grand theft auto V.
We like this game its pretty cool and we like how you could kill as many zombie and pedestrians as you want but we just have 2 suggestions. We would like if you added like 2 or 3 new weapons. We would like you added a knife that way you could stab a person or a zombie to death . We would also like if you added a axe that way we could slice the zombies in half or just chop pedestrians to bits. We also think it would be pretty cool if you added a trash can lid. Why? You might ask. Because we want the trash can lid to have metal plates on the front and on the back some straps so we could use it as a shield and thats all for now and goodbye.
We think the map is cool and detailed but we think it would be even more great if you could go into buildings like shops or apartments etc. We also think it would be cool if the city was a little bigger with like a highway and such.
This is a great game but it wasnt what we were expecting it to be because we have been looking for a game that allows you to do ANYTHING you want like become a construction worker or something but this game doesnt allow you to do that BUT we love it because it has a lot of cool things in it PLUS you can fight zombies and stuff sooo ITS A GREAT GAME but just not what we were expecting when we saw the word SANDBOX.
Now, this game is one of our favorite games but there are too many ads for us. We like the game but we get an ad every like 5 minutes we can barely even play. Its a good game a lot to do but too many ads.
We really have nothing to say but it boring and too much ads.
The game is very good except for some bugs. One time when we were playing we kicked a fence and we started violently twitching through the map and insta dying upon respawn, and mostly thats the only bad thing about it, 3/5 for us.
The game is like GTA V, but without missions and stuff. Also, who said that this game was made by a 12 year old . Either way theres a lot to fix, and its fun for a bit but then it gets stale.
It's crazy that a game that is originally for mobile (we THINK) is amazing!!! Seriously, we love the gameplay loop of killing zombies and if you want kill humans, its so entertaining Not to mention, the gun is SPECTALCULAR! It feels so satisfying just shooting people and zombies and all that! 10/10 Would recommend.
We've played this game for awhile and its really fun but the game name sort of lies we thought this would have been 100% open world sanbox but we have to kill out all the zombies. Also we keep buying the 500$ in game gun and it launches us into space and then we lose it. Also the feture where you lose all your wepons is very stupid.
The game is great in all but the ads are becoming more frequent. We also have some suggestions: 1. Every time you kill at least 5 people or hit ,shoot, or run over the cops you get a star kinda like GTA. 2. Can you please extend the map into islands like you can cross them by bridges. 3. We need more weapons like pistols SMGS,etc etc we hope you read this dev.
This is a great game! Thanks, Brendan M.
We dont know if the last update has screwed up the game, but forced ads have continued to pop up, however we have already bought and paid to remove forced advertisements. Please make rewarded ads optional, not forced or mandated. We require the issue to fixed as soon as possible.
This game was fun but we only got to play one time bcause when we try to open it it keeps glitching with flashing lights like a virus and it might be because we have a macbook but idk. When we got to play the game it was really fun though and it is very actuon packed.
We cant believe this when we got in the 15 seconds later it kicked us out all things we said about the game and thats how they repaid us they broke our heart dude.
It is a great game but we feel like there should be more to the map like interiors for the buildings and also more weapons in the game. We also think that you should make the police actually do something if you commit a crime like have them shoot you or something. You should also add more types of vehicles like busses and trucks but the game is still awsesome.
So its a good start but then it gets a little glitchy.
It is really a good game only thing we would add is maybe police that chase you when you kill a civilian but idk.
There is a crashing problem the app wont even let us load in.
Great graphics good game if youre bored, but it takes a lot of battery and theres this bug that makes it so that we cant even join the game. Please fix it.
Its not an sandbox if it includes buying stuff in the game.
Hello! We really like this game but we think theres more for it. We suggest you make apartments or houses for the player to live in! And probably add more weapons and combat equipments. We would appreciate it! First of all the map is still the same.. But pleasee work on expanding the map!! Second of all, Add more vehicles, or drift physics.. Third of all we really want buildings that you could go into, you could not really see that much in the game without it, the shop is the only place you could go into. Overall the game is nice and we should suggest these stuff. Hope you see this Dev! Im counting on you.
So please don't make us lose money and lose all weapons after death and add some jetskees around the water let us swim add blood to the people when being attacked and make them fight back and add helicopters around let us rob stores and when people drive cars around add people in the car and let us hijack them please and make police chase us if we're bad make a online and offline mode when you enter the game and add everyone else's idea to please and thank you please read this developer we'd love this update.
Personally, our biggest issue is just zooming out. Im quite picky with this and the zoom its set to really messes with our brain. We like the game, though, as its very fun and simplistic. Just makes us feel anxious for all the wrong reasons.
The game is absolutely awesome but theres some things we kinda wanna ask we want to be able to save what we build.
We really really love this game. Well theres a lot of things that we would like to say about this game. Its really very very good but one thing that we would like for you to do is there be a multiplayer so you could play with your friends and we also want the police is to be able to arrest you and you be in jail for a limited amount of time when you kill the citizens. And thats all we have to say.
