Please fix. ### 4/5 — Как открыть персонажа и уровни? *2023-04-07, version 2.7* Игра ### 3/5 — Glitch with In-App Purchase *2023-02-06* So, I bought the full package. The one with infinite ammo, infinite health and no ads. I got the infinite ammo and health but ads still showed up so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game then restoring my purchase to see if that would fix the glitch and it won’t restore my purchase!! So, when I noticed the ads were still showing but before I deleted the game to reinstall it, I went into the shop to see if the game glitched and just bought the infinite ammo and health pack because there is one that doesn’t remove ads. Well, in the store, it showed that I had bought the one that gives me all three but the crazy thing is that the shop had glitched and spammed the store with that purchase! It showed that offer 3-5 times and each one had a different asking price! I remember there were at least 3 because one said it was $3.99, one was $4.99 and one was $5.99! All of them said they had been purchased! That’s when I uninstalled reinstalled the game. Like I said, the game didn’t restore the purchase but it was only $2.99 so I decided to make the purchase again. This time it was $5.99 which is the price I thought it was when I had originally decided to make the purchase. Well, the purchase gave me the infinite health and ammo but I’m still getting ads! In short, you need to figure out what happened with my first purchase and fix that so it doesn’t happen to other people, you need to fix the in-app purchase restore function and you need to remove the ads on my account. ### 4/5 — Good game, but a problem, ads still showing after being removed. *2022-12-02* This is a great zombie killing game, but I just purchased the No ads in-app and paid for the ads to be removed, they’re not supposed to still show up. Fix this now. ### 3/5 — Malo *2022-09-24, version 2.7* 1.- YO YA COMPRÉ PARA NO TENER ANUNCIOS Y LA APP ME MUESTRA ANUNCIOS, LOS CUALES A PARTE SON MUY INTRUSIVOS. 2.- ANTES ERA OFFLINE Y AHORA NECESITO ESTAR CONECTADO A INTERNET PARA PODER JUGAR UN JUEGO QUE NO TIENE MULTIJUADOR Y SE JUEGA SIEMPRE EN SOLITARIO!? 3.- AÑOS Y AÚN NO HACEN JUGABLES A LOS OTROS PERSONAJES NI A LOS ESCENARIOS. YA NO LO RECOMIENDO ### 3/5 — もったいない *2022-09-13, version 2.7* ゲームはとても楽しいです、あと続きがなぜか出てないのと、武器を変えるのにいちいち1周しなきゃいけないのが嫌ですね、なんかこのゲームほっとかれてる感じもあるので続きが出た時にはもう少しグラフィック良くしてくださいね ### 3/5 — This game desperately needs first person *2022-08-13* This game is pretty good but you see I’m playing on mobile and I’m playing on Apple so all I’m asking is hey actually I’m really getting design to and I can try and make your game better I can do some of the voice acting and I can do what you want me to do and I know better designs for the zombies I know how to I know how to do art and I know how to make heads explode in the game all I’m asking is can I be in the business of designing your game ### 3/5 — Glitch with In-App Purchase *2022-04-15, version 2.7* So, I bought the full package.

The graphics aren’t great but this game is the most satisfying when it comes to going into a room with an assault rifle and unloading the entire clip into a Horde of zombies. Plus, the atmosphere of the game environments is eerie and gives you a much more realistic sense of what it would be like to be in a Zombie Apocalypse than other zombie shooters like Unkilled, Dead Trigger and others. I’m also looking forward to the additions the developers have planned for this game. UPDATES ARE ANTICIPATED!! 🤩 we need more horror games like this! Most of them, you can’t fight! You just run and hide like a coward! Then, by the time you find a game where you can fight the monsters, you lose all sense of horror theme like Unkilled! Very well done game over all. Keep up the good work. Fix the glitches I mentioned and, like I said, you have a 5 star review from me. And, yes, I will write another review for you that highlights the positives of the game when you fix the glitches. 😉👍 ### 2/5 — Elevator fan *2021-07-25* I love this game especially the elevator you can ride and zombies but I was wondering I have played the other game like this one and it takes no internet to play it but why does this game take internet to play can you. Make it offline so I can enjoy it ### 4/5 — Are you serious?!? *2021-03-31* I really like the game! But just before, I was gonna write a review about how I want a new update, but then, it said update. So when I updated it, it only gave me 100,000 coins! No new characters, no new levels, just coins. And also, I’m a boy and I don’t like that there is only a girl character. But still, the game is REALLY fun and I would of gave it 5 stars if you added new anything. Just please, add more updates! ### 2/5 — It’s an ok game *2020-12-01* The voice acting is questionable, but I don’t blame the developers since this game is still in development. The game looks very promising on the front cover except the actual gameplay is pretty bad. Killing zombies isn’t that satisfying in this game, and I think you should add a bit of recoil to the guns so it feels more lively. Also please add a setting where you can move the controls around because they’re just so small and jammed into the corner of the screen that it gets annoying. I’m just giving advice, because when I come back to this game in the future, I don’t want it to be abandoned, instead I want it to be better, because I love the work put into this game, and it has the potential to be really good. ### 3/5 — Video game needs improvement. *2020-11-21* Good game so far but controls are stiff and limited like why isn’t there a panic button to preform a Malay attack when the enemies get to close or why isn’t there any deplorable traps and pipe bombs or grenades. Also the camera goes through the character when I back against a wall and that needs to stop because it throws off my escape route regardless how I plan it. ### 4/5 — Only 3 levels *2020-05-28* This game is overall nice but it has only three levels and the other level says coming soon please add more levels ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No ADS gekauft - trotzdem komplette Werbung ! *2025-08-23* Trotz no ADS Kauf bleibt die unerträgliche Werbung ohne Veränderung vorhanden. Betrug. ### 1/5 — Слишком много рекламы *2023-11-15, version 2.7* Жадные разработчики, кривая игра лагает просто ужас, и рекламы вагон, за пять минут игры 5 роликов с рекламой глянул, первый раз такое вижу. Просто симулятор просмотра рекламы ### 1/5 — んー *2022-02-18, version 2.7* ゲーム構成はGood グラフィックはPS1 操作性はゴミ 広告多くて没頭できない。これで全てが台無し ### 1/5 — I love it but… *2021-07-29* I love this game along with part 2 but when are you gonna update the game with the new levels and characters? EDIT: I paid 5 bucks for no ads yet still get ads until this is fixed I can’t rate this game as highly ### 1/5 — THIS MESSAGE IS TO CASTINE2020+CREATORS *2021-07-04, version 2.7* ALRIGHT CASTINE I DUNNO WHO YOU ARE BUT UR CLEARLY STUPID CUZ YOU SAID yOU DonT lIKe tHE gAME cUZ tHeRES a gIrl. SO CLEARLY YOU DONT KNOW THAT THIS IS A RESIDENT EVIL 3 RIPOFF AND THAT CHARACTER IS CLEARLY JILL VALENTINE YOU MORON!!!

Брал хорошее орудие глюканула патроны есть а не перезаряжает . Одним словом очень сырая игра . Но перспектива думаю есть только дорабатывать и доробатывать!! ### 1/5 — They tried to remove my review of this farbage *2020-07-07, version 2.0* Game is trash, rips off tlou and res evil and everything about this game sucks, nothing makes it good, bad voice acting by some unconvincing indian, crappy lighting so i cant see teo feet infront of me and the team is utterly useless, two grown men, one weilding an m4 assualt rifle and the other a shotgun, both wearily follow behind one woman weilding an m1911 handgun.. and they ONLY react once im being atracked. Garbage attempt at a game, and they deleted my first review because its true about their crap. ### 1/5 — 🧐 *2020-07-06, version 2.0* как играть ? ### 1/5 — Game crashes on launch *2019-07-09* Devs, please help. The game crashes whenever I try to launch it. I checked if it’s compatible with my phone and it is, so I don’t know what the problem is with this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s a great game with a cool story and design *2023-03-16* It’s like resident evil 1 and 4 combined.
