### 2/5 — Good action and graphics.

*2026-08-07, version 2.3.3*

A well designed game for visuals and actioni, however it is slow unless you spend real money.  The game offers “Free Gold” rewards through TapJoy page using other games and offers.  Some progress that way until I reached a 300 free gold level in Solitaire.  It took many emails to all parties to get the promised reward. Seems like a promotion trap and is disappointing.  Be wary of this.
While Dead Trigger is still one of the best quality game platforms, once the lead in missions are complete, one is left to simpler daily repetitive tasks that soon become boring.
The game owners are not interested in doing any more development in this game.
Too bad.

### 4/5 — Reliable fun for this old man :)

*2026-07-22, version 2.3.3*

This game has been on my phone for years now. It’s a toss up which game I play more. This one or number 2 ;) kudos to the guys that got it running and keep it running. However…. I’ve rated it a reviewed it over and over and “rate and review” notifications just keep popping up all the time. That should be fixed.

### 2/5 — Crash ao tentar iniciar o app

*2026-07-09*

Mesmo depois da nova atualização, depois que vc fica um tempo jogando, especialmente para a transição do nível 4 para o 5, o jogo não entra de jeito nenhum, só desinstalando e instalando novamente, voce fica estagnado

### 2/5 — Missing controller support

*2026-07-06, version 2.3.2*

When using a Bluetooth controller players movement and camera control only works. No other button works please fix/optimize. (Edit 2026) Still no full controller support like before. Waiting to redownload…

### 3/5 — Needs WiFi

*2026-05-21, version 2.3.2*

It’s a shame that you can only play this game with WiFi as you could play without WiFi with the older version, also too many ads.

### 1/5 — Não gostei!

### 1/5 — Lost over 10k

*2026-08-30, version 2.3.3*
