### 3/5 — Fun, but incredibly difficult

*2026-09-01, version 4.4.2*

Game is a joy at times, but “normal” or even “easy” difficulty is absurdly difficult at times. Unfortunately lost all interest in the game after constantly losing, simply because the enemies bum rush you the first second it starts and you cannot defend.

### 4/5 — Пойдет.

*2026-09-01, version 4.4.2*

Игра классная, но её слишком сильно растягивает гринд, донат и постоянное навязывание длинной рекламы. Я понимаю что она бесплатная и разработчикам нужно окупать затраты, но, на мой взгляд, монетизация уже стала слишком агрессивной.

### 3/5 — Update the summer activities quickly!

*2026-08-30, version 4.4.2*

If the summer activities are not updated, they will become autumn activities！！

### 5/5 — Fun Times

*2026-08-29, version 4.4.2*

Addictive game. I have really been enjoying it.

### 5/5 — Very fun gory zombie game

*2026-08-29, version 4.4.2*

I really like this game it super fun with the gory and zombies theme with it, though I wish their was more bosses and some levels just feel impossible but this game is really fun

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-29, version 4.4.2*

Addicting game

### 4/5 — Awesome game

*2026-08-28, version 4.4.2*

I have played this game a year or so ago and it was fun and I decided to redownload it and it still is. The only problem I have is it takes quite a lots of time to be able to upgrade your units because the rewards of missions are minimal if you don’t watch ads. But over all a great game

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-08-28, version 4.4.2*

夏季活动呢？

### 4/5 — Good and fun game but slow progression

*2026-08-28, version 4.4.2*

It’s a really neat game  I like it but I think it is slow to get resources

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-28, version 4.4.2*

Like this game a lot I would recommend

### 5/5 — Es bueno y entretenido

*2026-08-27, version 4.4.2*

Me gusta pruébenlo

### 2/5 — Disappointed. Don’t download

*2026-08-27, version 4.4.2*

Amazing art. Amazing concept. It’s just a cash grab. There is no feasible way of grinding to achieve 3 stars within the first 3 maps without spending money- and it’s not worth it. If the developers really cared about the user experience, they would at least allow casual play to have a natural progression then incentivize pay for PvP events. This game is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, I would not recommend. And as an Avid mobile game reviewer on my other platforms, I’ll be advising the common folk to avoid and/or delete this game until they rework work it, or someone just does it better and more honestly

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2026-08-31, version 4.4.2*

This game actively punished free to plays and it lacks any ability to mod you game even though it markets itself as a single player game better off getting camp defence or guns up mobile

### 1/5 — Updates

*2026-08-31, version 4.4.2*

Where the flipping updates, the devs just want money and more money. Every update is centralized around currency’s!

### 1/5 — Lack of new content and constant nerfs

*2026-08-29, version 4.4.2*

Game is getting little to no updates and units keep getting nerfs, all while enemies keep getting buffs. Prioritizes squeezing as much money out of you as possible than being a fun game

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-08-19, version 4.4.2*

Good game but ur ads dont have a skip button. Make me watch ad for nothing

### 1/5 — game quá khó, mất cân bằng, trash trash trash

*2026-08-18, version 4.4.2*

giảm độ khó, tất cả yếu tố đều không ủng hộ phe người chơi, zombie thông minh hơn người bỏ qua người nếu người đó không chắn đường chỉ để đập thứ không phải người mà zombie bỏ qua người để tấn công 1 thứ vô tri là chiếc xe thì đó là điều hoàn toàn vô lý và vi phạm nguyên tắc zombie nếu game muốn làm chủ đề về chúng còn người thì ngược lại tấn công zombie trước mới tấn công cái thứ quan trọng, cần thiết để thắng ?????? đây là vô tình hay cố ý của thằng làm ra cái game này ???

### 1/5 — Fix the targeting plz

*2026-08-09, version 4.4.1*

No way a zombie is going to ignore a human just run right past them to attack the bus.. It makes ZERO sense where zombies just full send a metal bus instead of going after a person right in front of them. Abysmal and down right dog water of a mechanic for a game like this. Also this pos is pay to win after the first couple of missions. Straight garbage, a gotcha game values my time more than this game.

### 1/5 — Banned for no reason hope the devs suck in support

*2026-08-05, version 4.4.1*

Longtime player forbidden for some reason

### 1/5 — Progress halt

*2026-08-01, version 4.4.0*

Fun game, but the biggest problem is the fuel system. I'm at the point where I'm completely stuck because i don't have enough fuel to keep progressing, and my characters aren't strong enough to clear the missions when I do have fuel. I wouldn't mind grinding repeat missions for smaller rewards, but I don't have enough fuel to do that at a reasonable pace.
The recharge time is too slow, which makes it difficult to improve my characters, farm resources, and experiment with different team compositions. Overall, the fuel system is what holds this game back. This would easily be a 5-star game if there were an alternative way to grind for rewards without being limited by fuel on repeat missions.

### 1/5 — Great game!

*2026-07-31, version 4.4.0*

Super fun! Would love to see more content for this game.

### 1/5 — Banned for no reason hope the devs lose everything

*2026-07-09, version 4.4.0*

Longtime player forbidden for some reason
