Confusing, Predatory, and Boring
I gave this game a fair chance, but it's honestly one of the worst mobile games I've played.
The gameplay loop gets repetitive very quickly, and the game does a poor job of explaining how you're supposed to win or lose. Instead of feeling strategic, it feels like you're constantly being pushed toward spending money.
The biggest issue is that the game hides microtransactions behind buttons that don't clearly look like purchases. It's far too easy to accidentally tap something that costs real money—I've seen purchases up to around $15. On top of that, you're practically forced to buy things like ammo crates or other resources just to keep playing at a reasonable pace.
The UI is cluttered, confusing, and unattractive. Nearly every screen is filled with what looks like AI-generated artwork, making the whole game feel cheap and low effort.
Overall, this feels like an obvious AI-generated cash grab rather than a well-designed game. I can't recommend it.

We're sorry to hear about your frustrations with the game's design and microtransactions. We appreciate your detailed feedback and will forward it to our team. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Ai Art :/
In a nutshell, the gameplay is good and has great replay value. There are micro-transactions, but they can be easily avoided. Ads will exist (its a mobile game, so its normal)
However, there is Ai art in the game. If you don’t mind Ai, then ignore this.
The gameplay, mechanics, and everything essentially make it a great experience to play :). I have installed this game almost every time i get a new phone. I stopped playing last year due to the update that increased ad usage to the point where the game was essentially micro-transaction hell. However, playing this game now is great, due to the ad’s being reduced significantly (yes, there are ads still, but I personally don’t feel they ruin the experience.)
However, the usage of Ai art makes me not want to play the game. I’m going to sound like an english teacher, but using Ai to substitute human art feels soulless. It’s just a small nitpick, but i enjoyed the charm of the hand-crafted pixel art the game had before the micro-transactions stopped me from playing last time. It made me enjoy the game :).

Love it
I love this game
Get more ammo with delta trooper
I have more than enough ammo for certain characters but why watch an ad for three ammo bullets? That takes FOREVER. How about we use coins, DNA (and monster DNA) to buy more ammo? As for ads? How about get 10-20 bullets per ad instead of three bullets per ad? I like the game, but the ammo
I love this game but…
I had this game back on my Android, spent a decent amount. Figure I’m supporting the developers.
Found out that I can’t restore my purchases. That’s fine, I liked the game that much I was willing to do it all over again.
I’ve run into so many bugs on the IOS version. My screen would glitch locking the game mid battle. I’d reload the game and my character wouldn’t be able to select my mercenary because they’d be considered defeated.
I gave the game 3/5 cause I genuinely like this game.

Won’t let me continue
I get to a screen where it says DeadShell
Then there is a pistol on the bottom right and it won’t let me do anything to continue. It’s fun but doesn’t let me do anything else.

Хороша без интернета
Интересная игра на убить время, часто играю когда интернета нет или глушилки, затягивает. Вопрос к разработчикам, я улучшаю транспортник, однако количество слотов в нём не увеличивается, при отправке пишет 1 уровень транспортника, хотя он улучшен до максимального
Response from developer
Спасибо за вашу поддержку и за игру в автономном режиме! Чтобы разблокировать всех наёмников, вам нужно продвинуться в игре и разблокировать также помощников-наёмников. Мы ценим ваш интерес и надеемся, что вы продолжите получать удовольствие от игры!
Dead shell
Está muy bueno la verdad, pero los anuncios lo matan
Promising but buggy
Cool concept. Frequent hangs and must restart app. Incessant Ads block UI.
Add more ammo rewards for the delta trooper.
Seriously, you watch ads for three ammo. Either give it ten ammo to watch ads OR if the player beats a mission it can become part of a reward. Same for daily rewards.
Phone died. Character dies too. Not good design.
I don’t like this mechanic. Save my run. Other games do it. What if I just close the app? Same thing? Now I have to wait an hour and 30 minutes to try again.
Game
It asked me to write a review.
So here is what I’ve written.
So here is what I’ve written.
Im starting to hate this game
WAY TOO MANY ADS FOR ALL THE BUGS IN THE GAME.
. Why am i getting stuck in rooms with nowhere to go?
. Why Are enemies bullet sponges after 50 floors on black rock?
. Why is it literally impossible to farm ammo endgame when the cargo ships bring me guns that are useless and dont even give ammo for the type?
. Why cant i swap between special ammo and reg ammo? That is so damn stupid i bought red boxes for nothing
. Also why is there no alien xenomorph? It’s heavily advertised but not even in the game.
Fix the game or ill just stop playing

Very disappointing
The game shows you a map of a place, including some monsters. You select a monster and the game shows you a list of monster names. Click on a monster name and CONGRATULATIONS YOU WIN, now spend money. No, I will not.
Let the player continue if they die, if they want to spend DNA, it shouldn’t be a one-time continue
Also ads aren’t available when you start the application. I thought it would start a few seconds after. Nope! It took 5-10 minutes. And you’ll know when ads are available when you can finally claim your daily reward.

Add more methods to get more info
Sometimes even when you want to watch ads for more ammo, you don’t get any adds available.
На самом деле это хорошая игра, но
Ставлю такую низкую оценку, поскольку у меня в игре уже 4 день подряд баг в каждом забеге, я не могу убить врага, точнее я его убиваю, но он остаёться в комнате и не наносит урона. После того как наноситься этому врагу смертельный урон, по нему дальше можно пробовать ударить, но урон не засчитывается, а происходит звук разряженного оружия

Fun game, bad ads
My rating is for the game/concept itself. I played this game a ton back in 2019, and really enjoyed it. I’m not a fan of rogue likes, but the cool synth wave music, and the Doom-esque environment and characters kept me around. I “found it” again just recently, and the new content is nice to see, but man, it’s Ads-City. Everything has an ad, everything drives you to buy stuff, and it’s just too blatant, that the atmosphere is ruined by it.
I absolutely want these guys to make some good money, but I think the ad delivery could be done better, where it’s less intrusive, and even more incentivized. I’m sure some of us would pay to have a version with no ads, and just a micro transaction store, *if* the game is tuned and balanced for loot acquisition and difficulty. Making levels replayable, or ammo less scarce, or maybe more skills to help during fights (like a single stun, or dodge, or accuracy boost, etc), there are many ways to go about it, that I’m sure you guys can figure out.
I wish the devs success with this game. Hope they can flesh it out sooner than later!

Dear developers, add more ammo
Add more ammo please.
Ammo is scarce
How do you get ammo I’m stuck and can’t continue.
