Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive been addicted since we got it.
Was great until we got an ad mid level. Instant delete.
It was a fun game for the first few weeks but lately it has been crashing constantly. Unable to play the ticket games which rewards better perks.
Fun game but lots of ads and yeah its kind of repetitive but Trials are some variety. Worst thing are the crashes most often when trying to watch ads. Frustrating when watching ads for additional backpack slots and the game crashes, often losing your progress for the level.
Achievement section worked for the first couple days we had this game installed but for the last 3 days it does not work.
The Instagram advertisement said, this game has no ads. What a joke!!!, There are ads absolutely everywhere. Even ads just to get out of menus. For example when you pick up a chest after killing zombies, you are forced into your backpack. There you can keep what you picked up or discard if you dont want it. Just to leave your backpack, you have to watch an ad! IMMEASURABLE GREED.
They said no adds. Tons of adds.
We really enjoy the game a lot and its the only game we play honestly. If the developers are open to feedback or suggestions, Id like to see it be more challenging than what it is. Once you get passed level 6-7, it becomes repetitive and its basically rinse and repeat with the only change being the world itself. Id like to see more monster and zombie types with a more challenging experience. Other than that, GREAT JOB.
Great game, but u are doing the same thing. Nothing new. And the preview is nothing like the gam. U dont really climb on anything. U dont get the big axe in the preview.
Fun game but was ruined by how the ads were implemented. Once you get a weapon to add to your backpack you have to watch an ad to continue. No way around it.
Its a shame you are forced to watch ads to proceed!! Not good at all.
Game is awesome to many ads some are long and hard to click out of.. Broken links perhaps.
It was a nice game. We like the action, the constant fighting constant action.
This is one of the better shooters that we have played. Minimal commercials and good shooting options.
This Game Is Addictive And A Great Way To Have Fun And Pass Time.
Loved this game off break. You get so many coins in a short amount of time but cant upgrade until you put TIME in, iykyk. You just play the same maps over and over with the same boss zombies. Updated needed ASAP.
We just downloaded the game, we like the game concept and gameplay, well we liked the gameplay for the first play through because everything was working fine, the 2nd play through about halfway through the game most of our weapons stopped doing damage entirely only 1 out of 3 or 4 of our weapons was doing damage and that Wasnt enough to kill any of the zombies, then on our 3rd and last play through (so far) we joined the game we did damage for about 2 zombies and then got a crate and stopped doing damage entirely every single one of our bullets from each of our weapons was going straight through the zombies and not doing any damage which made the game unplayable Im hoping thats fixed soon.
So the gameplay isnt bad, the graphics are decent and the weapons make sense. Our issue is forced ads to continue! We play a ton of mobile games and will gladly spend some money here and there, but when you get you backpack all set and ready, the only way to continue is to watch an ad! Why? Ill watch ads for upgrades or special weapons, but just to continue is not a way to keep gamers. We watched an ad for a weapon and was forced to watch another ad to continue with the game? Ill continue to play the game but until the forced to continue ads are removed, we wont bother spending money.
This game has become the only game we play. We deleted all the others cause since Ive started playing it we havent even looked at another game. If we may suggest one thing.? That would be to add a flamethrower weapon option to the chest. Thank you for having such a fun and entertaining game. Gotta go go some playing to do.
Not bad. If you like Archero and exploring youll like it enough. Glitchy, like the sound stops working if you watch a video mid match but it has potential. We might spend a few weeks playing.
The game has really satisfying animation. It feels a lot more wholesome than other zombie rogue-like games. The only problem is that the game feels lacking: There are only 40 levels of upgrade, which we got within a few days. The top/last upgrade is glitched. If you invest in it, it will show you have it. But if you log off and log back on, it will show it as not invested. Once you reach level 40, gold becomes useless. Playing the game feels unrewarding. Its as if the game is over. The shotgun glitches with other rifles. It sometimes wont shoot. For that reason, the shotgun is incredibly unreliable due to the glitch. The melee weapons only do 2 dmg. Whereas a nail gun can hit for almost 100+ dmg. We suspect melee weapons are not receiving buffs from your skill investment. Its a pity because melee weapons take 2 slots while a pistol or nail gun only take 1. 2 slots should be stronger. We feel like there should be dailies. There should be cards you get that you can equip to improve different aspects. There should be different modes you can play to unlock different currencies. There seems to be many ways the game could create more engagement and literally make more money (just copy ideas from potato.io, zombie.io, etc.). But it almost feels like the developers are satisfied with this as an ad-based business model.
The game is fun but some of the parameters are way off. With a game like this, when spawning enemies you have to spawn them in a manner where the player can use tactical movements to avoid the enemies, with this game if the swarm is too much you have to grind 2 or 3 games and just level your character up. Secondly, a lot of the weapon stats are wrong, the AR rifle is supposed to do 60dps but does 20 something. Lastly, to us the power ups or abilities are pretty weak and irrelevant. Because the game is a little to linear and needs improvement im gonna delete the game. Hopefully they make improvements.
-bullets will constantly not do damage -bosses will glitch and disappear -too easy to be sent back to menu having to restart whole campaigns. Also no real progress. Same few maps just with a higher number on it.
Honestly an enjoying game just to many ads all the time unless we pay for it to be gone.
This game is fun but glitchy at times. More than once, after we climb on something, we can no longer damage anyone we shoot at because the game thinks we are still above them even after we climb down.
Interesting game but needs some work.
Doesnt explain at all how the currency works. We have played a few rounds and when adding items to backpack, it doesnt even explain why it wont let us add them when we have space. It says we dont have enough. There shouldnt be any type of currency you have to use to add the items if you have space. The game is confusing and we wasnt even able to play it.
Love the game great time killer fun to play developers keep up the good work!!!!!! Kinda expensive tho kinda like you gotta play to pay can you guys make it a little more easy at first.
Okay we love this game, hands down one of our favorite ones out there. The concept is awesome and being able to have more than two weapons is super cool. Theres only one down side the character you play as doesnt always shoot at the closet enemy. That cause us a lot of damage more than 75% of the time. Fix that one issue and Im sure the gameplay with be better than what it is currently. Other than that its the only downside Ive run into so far.
If y'all fixed the bugs and made it to where its only ads if u want a gun this game would actually be one of the best games in the app store.
We really do like the game so far but the undead goblin boss does die. He gets stuck on the fence a lot. He takes a little bit of damage and then thats it he doesnt ever take any more . Ive tried 5 times each time was 20-30 minutes running circles around the boss shooting him and he just never dies. Ill give you a couple days and try again. If fixed Ill give five stars but if not Ill figure you dont care about players like most mobile games and we deleted. Thank you.
You can fix the bugs (1st goblin boss goes invisible and cant be killed, so we have to end the game) the other glitch is the ads to earn weapons, coins and gems dont work. Great animation tho. Hope to see an update soon.
