Needs an overhaul

The game is fun, but only to a certain extent. I seen this game advertised while playing State of Survival. First glance and a couple of plays were great. Especially since it’s so similar to SOS. I even bought an in app purchase. However, the alliances are horrible and extremely controlling. I enjoyed being apart of alliances in SOS because of the relax gaming and not having to talk to anyone but still help each other when needed. This game allows too much to occur with players and there is way to much bullying going on. The rules are insane. Getting attacked and kicked out for not playing for more than a day!? We have lives!! Not all of us want to sit around on our butts playing video games all day! I’ve had enough of it so I’ll be uninstalling. And I want my money back 😡

Still puzzling.

As mentioned in other reviews same game, new skin. Yet like all previous games of this sort, doing upgrades is frustrating. It goes ok in the lower levels, but once you get into double digits, minutes turn into hours and hours turn into days. That has never made any sense to me and interest in playing becomes increasingly less when you start the game up the next day, ready to play only to find units, buildings are still hours away from completing the upgrade you spent resources that took days to accumulate.
There’s a frustrating lack of how to play and what each thing does. Yes, I looked for it in FAQ and other sources, but ...
Like other games before it, I’ll keep playing until I grow tired of waiting a week for an upgrade.

The most balanced MMORPG strategy game yet

This game deserves an instant five stars for how much it improves real-time strategy MMORPG’s, which have been so historically pay-to-win. With the mechanic of making players explore the map, it keeps newer, weaker players from being constantly farmed, with stricter troop capacities for both offensive and defensive uses it’s easier to stay competitive, and with the frequent events you don’t have to sell your soul just to get those last few extra items and resources. If you’re more of a casual player or don’t want to have to empty your wallet just to keep from getting destroyed on a routine basis, this is the perfect game for you.

Great but bullies

Hello! Shogun6620 of region 174 here!

After a good few months of playing with different servers. This game is golden! One of the best of its kind! Fair for the free player (ofc ptw options are there) yet challenging in all ways good. Timers can be long to build towards the end so an active clan is recommended. Would love to be involved with this game more the community can be great however bully giants are a thing so good luck in your server journeys I wish you all the best in your roads to the sanctuary ‼️💯

Money trap

Well I liked the game. I dropped $200 cash on the game got hooked. Just over 4 million power things started slowing down so I decided to play 2 at once. Started a new one in another area again dropped about $50 to start. Well that was a huge mistake. I couldn’t collect my gifts after the new update. I mean all the gifts from like save Rick, survivors, and more. So I sent a ticket with screen shots. Said in the description I cleaned catch as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the game. These fools of course sent a message back telling me to do just that. Saying it is most likely my phone issue or internet connection. Seriously!!! Said do all that and if it doesn’t work message back and they will go from there. Ok!! So do you guys even read or do you generate the same message to everyone. Well because of your insolence I lost several chances to collect gifts. As well as a sweet glitch of my shield supposed to have 12 hours left and suddenly dropped and I lost millions of resources and troops. Thank you very much for taking my money and not even trying to fix your glitches. I know how to keep your game running BLAME the players!!

Fun but there are a few flaws

This game is pretty fun but the amount of in app purchases there are make me pretty angry. I understand they need to make money somehow and the lack of ads is great but it’s still irritating how much they try to shove payed content down your throat. It’s still playable and pretty fun but it is a little annoying. I love skybound which is the company who owns the rights to the game but it feels like they didn’t contribute much to the economic part of the game. Skybound ,in most games they have produced, stay clear of making you pay for dlc, add on’s, etc. But you can tell they didn’t have much say in this app. That’s really my only complaint but gameplay is fun and I would recommend.

Great game

First of all I can’t believe how many bad reviews this game has, while it can be a little laggy at times it works pretty well on my 2020 iPad. As for the age rating, kids really shouldn’t be playing this anyway. It’s a Walking Dead game, the TV has age ratings of 15 and 18. Anyway to the review..I love the fact you do not have to buy in app purchase but if you do want to they are very cheap starting from 99 GBP. You do get Rick, Michonne and Rosita which I appreciate. Yes the times of building can be annoying, especially when you have to wait up to 6hrs for one building. And yes you can run out of supplies..that’s why you join a good clan that can help you out. Talking of which, whilst it’s part of the game to fight other clans, I feel it’s unbalanced when you get clans bullying others (especially the smaller clans) saying join us or we will destroy and take all your supplies. Hello Negan complex much!!

Not bad

The game IS a re-skin from other games but it’s not bad.

PROs:

Dynamic regional(server) play with objectives gated by time, the first week is super boring but begins to pick up after that.

The chat function is better than 2/3 of the other games in this genre.

Clan management interface is useful.

Can play with spending minimally and be somewhat successful.

CONs:

Chinese game owned, operated and developed by three different Chinese companies. They track you, record you, and share your private information. READ THE PRIVACY DOCUMENT...all of them.

Unpolished, was not ready to come out of beta testing. Unable to contact people through other alliance interfaces, on the R4. The server lag is very bad, often. Combat mechanics are solely based on your survivors (you don’t have to spend but if you don’t, never expect to be successful).

Mechanics:

There is a cap on how many resources clan members may receive from others, due to how the gates in this game are based on resource cost, this forces people to pay for resources rather than to join a team and receive meaningful support.

There is no ‘gift’ option to where you may gift items in game to your clan mates

The clan support system is gutted to support the companies income scheme.

There’s more but I’ve already written enough, hope this helps.

Your advise is the valuable opportunity for improvement Each player have different quality request to the game and the original intention of making game is wanna provide a better game experience to each player. Thank you for the supporting and wish you have a nice day!

Keeps Crashing!!

I really want to play this game, but it is constantly crashing every two minutes or less!! It’s really frustrating! And a note to the developers - it’s got nothing to do with the device I’m using, as it’s a brand new iPad. Game also has latest update. Please fix this asap, and I’ll be happy to upgrade my review.
EDIT: It’s obvious my review wasn’t read properly, as after getting a response from the developers - my game is fully updated and my brand new iPad has no cache to clear!! Lots of other people are having the same issue with this game crashing so often, so the issue is at your end.
