Community Insight:
This is a great game, the best survival game on the AppStore in fact. Ive played the radiation city and island. And for some reason this one surpassed those two despite it being a free game. If you update it with a final addition to the story at least it will draw more attention from YouTubers. The fact this is mobile once it gets enough attention from popular YouTubers the number of reviews and downloads for it on the AppStore will increase DRASTICALLY.
With outstanding visuals and brilliant weapon graphics, the game is the perfect amalgamation of an open-world survival adventure game. It is quite easy to play. The plot is engaging, but there's still room for improvement. For example, zombies attack you from a distance too far for us to reach. So the undead had a free hit for us, but that was enough negativity. We had a great time and gave it an 8.8/10.
Good game but it gonna be better if it were about nuclear war not mysterious power and… Surviving in wasteland of nuclear war is more realistic and better about game play , its good.
Hey! Why did you rip-off The Abandoned you basically copy and pasted the game, renamed it, changed the graphics a bit, and made it free! Thats not right. Even if you have to pay for The Abandoned you shouldnt rip it off like that.
The only thing we really want in this game is more missions and some more items to craft if you can add more missions and crafting items to the game than you are the best so please if you can add some more missions and items to craft as fast as you can.
Probably one of the best survival games Ive played on iOS. This game is amazing, addicting, and scary. Its pretty hardcore the story is good, just one suggestion add a base building system to it that would make the game a lot more fun and maybe even a multiplayer mode! Overall super fun and totally recommend, but if you get scared easily this game may not be the game for you. Keep up the good work and if this game was 0.99 we would buy.
Hi, Been playing it for a couple of days, we like it very much. We like the artifact and mission thing, its cool to always have missions… The game definitely needs a companion system. It removes the negative lonely feeling of similar games. We suggest adding the possibility to have a companion, a dog for example. A permanent dog companion. Would be nice to make him bark when an enemy is approaching… You can make him buyable. For an acceptable price like 1.99 we bet anyone ho likes the game would be happy to pay that amount to have a cool companion … We hope that you guys will think about it, some more income for the game would be helpful for its development… Anyway, thanks for the good game.
