Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Nice and simple. Easy to progress and better than most of the other gunship games.
Ever wonder what it feels like to use an Angel of Death.
Im pretty sure this is the first ever game we gotten on our IPod when we were 7 and that was 13yrs ago we have vivid memories of this game Ty for being apart of our childhood.
Not bad it took us a second to understand how to aim right but after wards was worth the trial and error.
When all other games get ho-hum boring – open this one and blast away a few hours.
Hey yall Ive been trying to download this old fave of ours on our iphone15 but it keeps crashing after the first few rounds. Our iPhone is updated fully. Can anyone help.
Love how simple it is and yet challenging at the same time. Lots of fun.
Small and great for passing the time, its always challenging and never gets old.
Ive had this game as long as Ive had an iPhone. It is fun and simple. One of the few games that still gets updated. Thank you Devs.
This game is so fun to play being honest its one of the only mobile games that are fun to play lol.
After such a long time, this game has been a blast and still is. Its free and fun that we can play for hours when Im not doing anything. Just wish the graphics could be improved to match the latest iPhone. Still a blast and we wouldnt change anything about the game play.
Cut to the chase and blast some zombies! We tried a few others and this one is our favorite. The play is simple and straightforward and easy to get the hang of. Its pretty addictive and challenging. The upgrades to the weapon systems are incremental and make it so you have to use them to keep up. The hordes of zombies and ogre looking things just keep coming so you have to stay on your toes.
We like this game because we get to control a gunship and kill zombies. We also like it because it gives you a challenge by making you not kill civilians.
Ive been playing for at least 10 yrs now. Recently started back again- was relieved to be able to reload our status. Nice.
Love this game Ive been playing it for years. Very challenging and did we say fun.
We have been playing this game for over a decade and it is still amazing. We recommend this to everyone who loves killing zombies. Thank you developers for not ruining your game and not changing a thing.
Good game been playing Scince little baby.
Found this years ago and recently rediscovered it. Great mobile gaming thats easy yet will keep you distracted while you wait at the DMV. Be sure to use ear pods.
We have had fun. When you start out its a bit tough but you soon get better weapons.
Highly recommend this game for zombie lovers it is super fun when trying to kill time.
Well overall the game is extremely enjoyable and the micro transactions are non invasive meaning that they dont need to be purchased in order to gain a significant advantage just by playing the game you can unlock upgrades in a fairly reasonable amount of time so Ill give it 5/5 stars only because compared to mobile games that have been released around the same time as this one this is is much better good job to the game devs(pls dont load the game with ads when the playerbase increases).
Man been a great game for so long love it very much. Way to keep it OG version please dont change.
Idk what to put here uhhhh thems game is gud playing.
We love playing this game. We wish there was a campaign/story mode in the game.
It would vet all fun but our idea for a update is maybe there should be a mission that you try to protect the bunker but there are soldiers on the ground fighting.
We played this back when we had the 3GS iPhone. We did lose our stats and upgrades but over a decade later and its still pretty fun, and free! At least we think it was free. If anything it wasnt more than 99 cents back then. Well worth it.
This game is a blast, but we need an update. The newer version isnt the same.
This is a fantastic game. No huge backstory, no endless ads, just you and a gunship mowing down zombies. Its a great shooter game and well worth the download and your time. Our only complaint is we wish the developers would add more objectives past the rank of Captain. Maybe some weekly or daily objectives if nothing else.
We literally got a appreciation gift from the game just for playing. This is unheard of in modern mobile games. Nowadays, all they want is all your money.
We do love this game it is AWESOME.
The gameplay is smooth and it has perfect graphics for the type of gameplay a true 10/10 game.
Please update this one. Its so repetitive but yet so fun Ive been playing for 6 years straight. We have so many ideas.
A mindless time away from reality, but fun.
The games really good and nearly 7 years ago this was last updated please update this game its really good.
Ive been playing this game for years and all we can say is download this game you wont regret it! Its amazing.
Really fun and time taking when your bored.
We like to play a couple of rounds of gunship while we listen to podcasts that don't require our 'presence.' Do we like the game? We are turning 68 in a week and we have been playing this game for well over a decade. So, yeah we are a fan but what do we know.
This game is im not gonna lie and say it isnt repetitive but its definitely a fun repetitive gameplay, its fun to grind out and work towards those gun upgrades and other grindable aspects of the game and we would LOVE to see an update towards the game including maybe working towards switching out the 25mm MG or one of the other guns to like a napalm or even heck shotgun or flechette rounds or something along those lines and just overall more things to upgrade and weapons and such but other than that we LOVE LOVE LOVEEE this game borderline addictive lol.
Difficult enough to keep your attention with few ads.
Great game but yall gotta update it bro.
This is a great game, this game never gets old.
Pure nostalgia with this game. Could use some new updates! One mof the funnest games on here. If they revamped it, added new updates, or made a sequel, Id be all OVAAAA it. Checkout our podcast/Snap/Tiktok @intothechasm.
We love this game. We remember playing it on our dads phone. And now here we are with our own phone playing this game.
Cool game but the people r hard to c.
The game is good but we wish that there was more to do on the game.
This game is our child hood we used to play it when we were little and it's 2025 now we love this game.
Ive played this for a couple years and it hasnt failed yet for a something you can pick up and play immediately without to much redtape.
Lots of fun. We have been playing this game for years. Every new device we buy over the years we download this game. Our only disappointment is the developers never made expansions or additional levels for this game . Otherwise its awesome.
We wish the game got some updates since 2017 but its still very fun.
Played this game when we were 5 years old now Im 17 still as fun as we remembered.
