Кайфовал играя на 7плюс, 11 айфонах. Щас решил на 12 мини перепройти и тут понеслась. Что стало с инвентарем? Почему так тесно иконки стали располагаться? Что на мне надето и в каком состоянии практически закрыто инвентарем. Что в самом инвентаре находится не имеет иконок. Мерцающие пиксельные тени это отдельная тема. Трупы после смерти лихорадит в агонии. Переустановка ничего не исправляет. Разраб, верни все в зад как было или оптимизируй под 12 айфен, играть невозможно. А игруха в целом отличная, но последний босс какой то имбовый. ### 2/5 — You asked at the start of the game. *2021-01-20, version 1.0.3* I give low ratings to any game that asks me how much I like a game literally when I start it. Not enough time for feedback. So you get bad feedback from me instead of having to constantly be asked how I like the game having not played at all. Sorry, looks good. But I have no idea if it is and will probably forget to come back to give a good review. ### 5/5 — ちまちま *2020-11-13* プレイするには最適と思いました。低評価されてるんですけど...私的にはありでした。ただ好みが分かれるゲームぽい雰囲気はある様な気もする... 追記... 彼此でこのゲームは既にクリアしてまして...何度も楽しんでます。サバゲーとかFPS系..好きな人はこのゲームは好きになれないかも知れませう(玉が当たらんwwwシリからしてサバ？(クラフト要素はなき...とにかく。探索より脱出！。前作は観光ゲーで...このシリーズは違います！)序盤は殴るかたまーにある銃激戦ですけど玉が当たらんwwwからです中盤から後半は確か銃です。。一応なんか生きなきゃならサバなんですけど...)あらゆる系のゲームバランス総崩れのゲームです。アイランドは知りませんですけど...元々のシリと関係はなく前作からの引き継ぎ的なゲームですけど....私は面白く思いました。YouTubeで調べると今は結構出てくるからそこから調べてダウンロードしてみて！ 私はこの理不尽さにダウンロードしてハマった人です。(語彙力)なんか色々割り切れば良きゲームです。ただよーく死にますよ...ネタバレはありませんけどおもろいゲームですね。と思うけどこれからどーこうするゲームではないのは確かです。。しかし...これでこの価格は安いです。ここの運営さんどうして利益出てるのか？が心配です。 ### 4/5 — Сталкер *2020-10-20* Уважаемые разработчики,как по мне игра офигенная но! Слишком высокая цена ### 5/5 — ITS BACK!? Y A Y but… *2020-09-17, version 1.0.3* I had loved this game ever since I was 8 and now I’m 12.When I was between 7 and 8 the new ‘’Radiation city’’ had came out.But what annoyed me the most was no multiplayer,I always wanted to play with my big bro never could had because it wasn’t multiplayer and he is on pc but I will get on that issue later.now Crossplatform even if I spelled it wrong it would be wonderful I won’t even give brick if it lags so I hope that you see this message.😁 ### 2/5 — Chernobyl *2020-09-02, version 1.0.3* good plot but i lost my money ### 4/5 — I'm scared but I like this game *2020-04-23, version 1.0.3* The best mobile zombie game i really like it, very exciting ### 5/5 — Отлично *2020-03-01* Хорошая игра, понравилась ### 3/5 — いいけど、、、、 *2020-01-13* うるさい ただそれだけ ### 5/5 — Супер *2019-12-15* В начале может скучновато что ходишь по зданию и оружия мало но потом начинается хороший гемплей ### 5/5 — l luvvvvvvvv it *2019-11-17, version 1.0.3* It is so fun thet I ever play all the games But it is so hard to break also It is very very well made the games I propose can you develop new series of this game?? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s to hard! *2024-04-08, version 1.0.4* I try to go where I’m going but I keep dying!!! ### 1/5 — Ridiculously stupid game *2022-04-24, version 1.0.3* This is NOT a survival game. This is a memorization game. You are forced to memorize a plethora of hallways and doors in order succeed. Pure tripe. ### 1/5 — Worst game I’ve ever played *2021-04-26, version 1.0.3* This game is a waste of time and money. You get no way to progress. When I asked the devs to fix the glitch where you get trapped in between walls and objects- they said I’d have to start over. Pure garbage. Do not waste your time. ### 1/5 — Missing Parts bug *2021-03-31, version 1.0.3* After finding the Rail Switch Handle and using it, and confirm in my character story that this is done, now the rail switch is back to the old position as it still says missing the part. But the part no longer exists in the game as it was used. It wants me to move the train past the junction but it’s impossible now. This is a horrible bug, all the time sunk in this game for nothing. ### 1/5 — Game barely works *2020-06-10, version 1.0.3* I feel like this game has a lot of potential, but unfortunately the bugs make it essentially unplayable. First, there is a glitch where you will fall literally into random floors, with half of your body in the floor, and the other half out. It’s hard to jump when this happens, so you essentially have to spam jump and wiggle around until it glitches you back out. If you’re in an area with high radiation, or it happens around zombies, you’re just dead. Secondly, I don’t have a crafting button in my inventory section. The screen is cut off in the middle, and the side with the inventory is blank other than the items I have. I can use the items in my inventory, but I can’t craft anything, so essentially if I wanted to keep playing this game, I would just be wandering around aimlessly hoping I find enough medical supplies to constantly heal myself, because I can’t really do anything else to progress. ### 1/5 — What in the cash grab is this *2020-02-19, version 1.0.3* Terrible control with or without a physical controller. Worst flash light that ever existed this is how they make the game challenging not with great gameplay ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2020-01-09, version 1.0.3* This game is so boring. I wish I can get my money back. Don’t buy this game. On of the worst games ever.... ### 1/5 — FPSの練習はやったが…… *2019-11-24* 懐中電灯は特に弄る必要がなく、薬を飲んでいれば明るくなるから良い。 しかし、主人公の叫び声がゾンビを倒す時いちいちうるさい、これ一番気になるので、もうちょっと改善して頂きたい。複数のゾンビに殴られた弾みで右に方向転換するほど主人公が弱すぎる。 前作の武器とかキャラクターが使い回しだそうですね。これちょっとどうかと思う。 最初は画面酔いがすごかったんですが、これは感度設定出来たおかげで途中で慣れました。 ゾンビが怖いと言うより、俗に言う死にゲーなので、薬切らして死ぬのが一番怖いかな。 こちらはよくある作業探索ゲームで、マップは勿論広いです。 日本語に対応しているから何でだろうと思ったら、switch版のゲームを出している運営なんですね。納得。 気になる方はswitch版やるのも良いかも。 追記：感度設定とステータスが途中で戻されてました。　道歩いていたら急に感度が早くなるから、何でかなと思ってメニュー見たら、初期の感度に戻ってました。 データ破損もないし、やり込めるかもと思ったら、今度は屋上の外に出る鍵、何回くまなく同じ部屋等探してもありません。 折角ゾンビ倒して部屋の扉開けといても、勝手に時間が経ったら閉まっていて目印になりません。 ### 1/5 — Gave me cancer *2019-07-12, version 1.0.3* After playing RI (which was actually a decent game) and then RC (which was a frustrating disappointment), I downloaded EfC hoping against hope that the devs had taken a step back in the direction of making a playable game. They had not. This game is ridiculous. The speed you walk is like an old man that can only shuffle his feet, and sprinting is only a tiny fraction less slow, like you gave that old man a cane. The opening stage is so unnecessarily difficult that I quit in the first ten minutes. Your radiation reaches max lethality in mere seconds, and you barely get any radiation pills and medkits to survive long enough to get out of the reactor where you begin. Add to that the distorted vision you get while irradiated and you can't find your way out at all. I love how the description says "this is not a typical easy mobile game." Very ambitious of you all to try and transcend the platform you're making content for. I have a question for you: who is your target audience for this game? "Typical" mobile gamers will not play because it's too brutal, and "hardcore" gamers who want a challenge will be turned off by how abysmal the controls and combat mechanics are. And you dare to justify this terrible design by saying, "it takes time and tactics to learn." I laugh and cringe simultaneously at that statement. If PlayStation 1 had had an app store, this would have been one of the trash 99¢ titles. Your ambition precedes you, devs. People will hate you for enticing them with an actual survival game and then taking their money and leaving them with this garbage. To anyone reading this, do not waste your money on this. Half of me wants to say go play one of the previous titles in the series and accept that it won't get any better than that, and the other half of me wants to say don't even give these devs any more of your attention. Shame on you all. ### 1/5 — Worst of the 3 *2019-04-17, version 1.0.3* Really liked Radiation Island. Radiation City was still good, although not as good as Island. This one is unplayable. No story. The physics are as bad or worse than the first two. Game goes from reasonable to impossible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice fusion of looting and horror *2025-10-17, version 1.0.4* Not sure why some reviews are so harsh on this, but I thought it was entertaining and exceptionally immersive for a mobile game. Love the claustrophobic opening hours before you escape the plant and reach the open world. Biggest con for me was that you can’t tell where checkpoints even are (and they’re pretty random) so you never know when it’s a good time to quit the game. Wish I could figure out how to save the girl, too. I wandered around trying to find where she could be and tried to piece the evidence together from the recordings I’d found. But, I couldn’t locate her and info on this game is scarce. Maybe she’s a zombie now, who knows. ### 5/5 — Есть немного багов *2025-09-24* Во первых хотелось поблагодарить разработчиков этой игры , графика на уровне , все замечательно , телефон не греет , вопрос один где найти станины для локомотива , прихожу на точку, а их там нет , и что делать дальше я не знаю , если можете подскажите пжл ❤️ ### 5/5 — Terrifying *2025-02-19, version 1.0.4* This game is amazing but terrifying ### 5/5 — Круто *2024-01-22* Очень круто графика Крутая. ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-03-25, version 1.0.3* This is probably one of the best games I’ve every played and it won’t disappoint you 100% ### 5/5 — Escape from Chernobyl *2023-01-10, version 1.0.3* This is the best game ever I love Chernobyl. The only downfall I have is that the game draws to much battery power. So I recommend playing this game over the weekends or when you don’t need your phone. Works really well on iPads for sure I hope they make another game ### 5/5 — Escape From Chernobyl *2022-12-02, version 1.0.3* Game Cannot Be Played At All Objects Are Not There To Found Missing From Game No Way Can You Find Your Way Out Game Is Defective Not Suited For iOS System I Tried And Tried No Way Can This Game Be Done Although Nicely Created ### 5/5 — Do you kill that guy who’s on the app pic sometimes? *2022-06-12, version 1.0.3* Do you know that guy that which you make disappear by shooting generators? So I am getting brake pads for the train but that “apparition ” guy kills me. Can you give me directions on how to kill him? I love this game. Make more to come! (I’m a kid) ### 5/5 — Good *2022-05-14, version 1.0.3* Good stuff ### 5/5 — Super *2021-09-26* Das Spiel gut gelungen. Sehr schön wie man chernobyle sehen kann das akw Stalker guter Abklatsch --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
