### 5/5 — You’ll regret not getting it!

*2026-04-16, version 1.3.5*

So good! Translates great from console to ipad, i would love jt to have multiplayer capability.

### 5/5 — лучшая в своём жанре

*2025-12-21, version 1.3.5*

сделайте продолжение с разными онлайн режимами

### 5/5 — Childhood Memories

*2025-12-11*

Ever since its original PC release, I have enjoyed Crimsonland across a plethora of devices. It’s top-down twin stick DOOM…

If you just want to blast the baddies with fun guns and power-ups this is your jam ;]

### 5/5 — Лучшая

*2025-09-30*

Отличная игра. Чтоб играть в двоем надо подключить два геймпада, начать игру и на втором понажимать кнопки, появится второй игрок. 
Если игра отображается не купленной после переустановки то в приложении нажать купить, оплатить и после обращения к апстору оно расширится до полной версии, бесплатно.

### 4/5 — I so......

*2025-07-21*

Miss games like this! I search and search for games just like this, and there are ones but they either crash or don’t load at all, some work just right so I keep them  and play em. It would be a 5 star but it’s not the whole game, you have to purchase the full game after alittle bit of playing (a perfect tease I would say) but you can’t play over and over again it’s not time limited. And it has a free survival mode (but not all the weapons or perks) but you can challenge yourself to get higher and higher scores. It’s great and I’m going to tell many ppl about this game. Thank you developers for this! And keep up the great work! Ty ty ty!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-07-11, version 1.3.5*

I used to play this when I was a kid. It’s just as good as I remember it.

### 5/5 — Childhood nostalgia

*2025-06-23, version 1.3.5*

Thanks for the game, finished all difficulties with star, it was
such a pleasure to dive into one of my childhood games! Totally recommend!

### 5/5 — Please update...

*2025-05-21*

Fantastic game however anytime I want to play I have to disable display zoom (basically lower resolution mode e.g. bigger app icons and text) in display settings... this game doesn’t seem to support the different resolution, fix this and I will purchase at donation price.

### 3/5 — It’s alright, could be better

*2025-02-14*

Controls wonk out and it hurts your wrist to play for more than ten minutes.

Weapon selection is ok. The good guns always get “replaced” during heated combat, and RNG for upgrades when you have a good gun are all death clock.

You can’t move fast enough.

Zombie survival is cool and the graphics/sound are good.

A few tweaks, and it’d be great.

Random Weapon should say which weapon you’re choosing.

### 5/5 — Best game yet

*2025-02-03*

One of the best games ever yet
