Roadside Zombies *2026-09-04, version 0.7.2361* One of the best idle zombie rogue like games out at the moment. Simple but effective gameplay with a good range of weapons & skills. 5 stars ### 4/5 — Overall Review *2026-08-30, version 0.7.2361* I’ve played hundreds of idle and mobile games, and I can confidently say that this game is much better than most other idle games out there. One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn’t constantly hit you with random ads in the middle of gameplay. The ads are completely optional, and they always offer worthwhile rewards if you decide to watch them. The gameplay loop can become a little repetitive at times, but I’m only mentioning this because I genuinely want to see the game improve. I would love to see more roadside events, more NPCs to encounter, and a wider variety of skills. Right now, the skill options feel a little limited, with only a few main types such as fire, electricity, and poison. It would be amazing to have more variety and interesting combinations to make each run feel different. The microtransactions are also optional, which is great. You don’t feel forced to spend money, and it’s possible to progress easily by making good choices and picking the right skills. The gacha aspect could also use a little more excitement and a wider selection of weapons. During my first few days of playing, I only managed to get around two different weapons, so having more weapon variety and exciting rewards would definitely improve the experience. Overall, this game has a lot of potential, and I’m genuinely rooting for it. The foundation is already really good, and with more content, events, skills, NPCs, and weapon variety, I can see it becoming one of the best idle games out there. ### 5/5 — Good job👍 *2026-08-04, version 0.7.2231* Looking forward to more content😁😁 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-24, version 0.7.2231* Good ### 5/5 — good topics even a copy game *2026-07-15, version 0.7.2199* Hope u guys can update more and make a mode like maple story idle that have afk farm place ,and hope u release more items and updates like golden items or red one. Also need some evens for the player to stick on the game , at the last for the first wave of the player(support) u might want to give some free roll or good greens like maple story idle do . They give tons of everything and just made up some reason, thx good topic good art and love this game. ### 5/5 — Fun game :) *2026-07-14, version 0.7.2199* Defo worth a try. Especially if played the original dead ahead games, gives a nostalgic vibe revisiting this series ### 5/5 — Belta *2026-07-14, version 0.7.2199* Boss can’t stop playing this game ### 2/5 — Cash grab game of the series *2026-07-13, version 0.7.2194* Gameplay loop is boring. So many microtransactions feels like a Chinese gacha game sometimes. They are trying to go for the "rogue like" gameplay when you choose skills but I've already seen all the skills and none of them are exciting. The fun in the dead ahead world is the characters and we just get a default human. Cannot recommend this game its a cash grab ### 4/5 — great game just needs more. *2026-07-12, version 0.7.2194* didn’t have any issues with the gameplay loop and enjoyed it. but it would be better if you could have more types of guns and maybe being able to replay older stages with a higher difficulty and better rewards ### 5/5 — Love the world *2026-07-12, version 0.7.2194* This game is brilliant to pass the time I’ve had already so much fun with it and also moving through the levels and seeing what it can do. I cannot wait for more expansions and updates coming ahead. ## Frequently asked questions about Dead Ahead ### What is Dead Ahead: Roadside about?
