I do personally think, though, that the game certainly punishes you a bit too much for mistakes. you have to be perfect with your resources between days 20-35 (what I call the start of mid-game) otherwise you will likely die of starvation (this is around when your outpost gets to the size where hunting for deer is unreliable and you must rapidly switch to agriculture to survive). I also think that difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly with the zombies. I’m not saying to overhaul the entire blood moon system, but maybe make the individual zombie behavior a little less aggressive. Personally I think that making either the resource costs of base levels 4 and 5 slightly lower and/or making the lumberjacks and maybe the miners give a bit more of their respective resources would help the transition between early to mid game feel a bit less desperate as so many different demands clash against each other. Sorry for a whole essay. ### 2/5 — Fun but sadly manipulative *2025-12-25, version 2.3.27* The game is great and I have a lot of fun playing it but by the time you get to the third or fourth blood moon it becomes unplayable in the designed difficulty unless you choose to fully purchase the game ### 4/5 — Good with Bugs slight but important *2025-11-27, version 2.3.27* There is a bug with saving on mobile ### 3/5 — Needs An Endless/Zen Mode *2025-10-20, version 2.3.27* I really like the game but it’s SO STRESSFUL because it takes a long time to invest in a town and one bad five minutes to wipe it out. It needs an endless mode ### 3/5 — Why doesn’t it pause *2025-09-30, version 2.3.21* This game’s pretty fun, gets repetitive though. My problem with the game is that when you open any menu it doesn’t pause the game, I opened the job menu and I didn’t notice it was night and died, lost a good 1 hour of work. 🫩 ### 4/5 — Good game but I have a question *2025-08-08, version 2.3.21* You see I loved the game but there is 1 thing I must ask IS THE FREE VERSION THE definitive edition but with adds ### 4/5 — I like the game but they need to stop changing the hud *2025-07-22, version 2.3.20* I’ve been playing this off and on for a while and I used to like it because it looked simplistic not anymore I wish it had stayed the way it used to be I would play a lot more if the hud graphics hadn’t been changed ### 3/5 — It’s decent *2025-06-04, version 2.3.11* It’s a fun idea with great things to do, but there’s not much to do and every time you get anywhere you get killed and there’s no way to save yourself. It’s annoying getting to where you were and finally being able to get somewhere new and then getting destroyed by the blood moon or whatever it is, if there was a second chance besides paying to come back, it would be better ### 4/5 — It’s get better again *2025-06-01, version 2.3.10* I had played this game before 1.5 and it was amazing. No limit to the animals and you get wheat constantly instead of every three days. I hope that it is a new feature in the new version or I’m going to be a little upset about paying $5 for it. I hope you devs know that it was better before 1.5 and it’s starting to get better now. From an OG player ### 5/5 — Please bring it back *2025-05-23, version 2.3.6* Please bring back the pistol good idea number one when scavengers look for scrap metal, they have a chance of finding pistol ammo ### 5/5 — На пк вышла афигеть! *2025-05-23* Игра полностью вышла на пк, я пошёл копить с прайма:) ### 5/5 — Fantastic resource management game. *2025-05-20, version 2.3.6* I love this game so much and I’m so happy to see so much more content coming. ### 5/5 — Нормально *2025-05-17* Игра хорошая но только переборщили с количеством кровавых лун(раз в 5 дней-это очень часто) ### 2/5 — No longer supports Apple Pencil *2025-05-05, version 2.3.2* I’ve loved this game for over a year but ever since the most recent update it no longer registers my Apple Pencil. My Apple Pencil works fine with everything else. Please fix this issue because I doubt I’m the only person who prefers to use an Apple Pencil instead of my fingers on the iPad. ### 5/5 — Magnificent Mobile Game ! ! ! *2025-05-05, version 2.3.2* I can’t wait for the full version to come out ! Thank you guys for developing this incredible game. ### 5/5 — Version 2.0 *2025-04-29* Where can I find a new version of this game? I saw a new game but it is not available now ) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bait & Switch *2025-12-21, version 2.3.27* This would be a fun game, but the difficulty growth with each blood moon is clearly designed to make you buy the game. Ironically, I probably would have bought the game - but I don’t like being manipulated. I had a nice base going, easily destroying the zombies even on a blood moon and fully repairing my wall afterwards, with lots of buffer in my wall health. Then, suddenly, the difficulty spiked, and my wall was completely destroyed in seconds, without warning. No, I’m not going to pay you $0.99 to resume playing from this point, and no, I’m not paying $4.99 for the full game so I can change the difficulty. I can’t trust that the full game has any better difficulty scaling than this did. Consumers don’t like being tricked. You’d have a good game here, and it would sell if you were just patient. ### 1/5 — Impossible to progress *2025-09-15, version 2.3.21* I hoped this game would be fun but instead its stressful each time i even play it. The blood moons are way to much the zombies keep getting more harder to kill and it keeps costing me every single resource i have. The farthest i can even go is 35 days i cannot go any farther with how impossible it is to make stronger walls or defenses. This game is so whack and ridiculous if zombies gotta be near impossible to kill since the knife units only kill them one at a time instead of grouping up to take them down. ### 1/5 — Бред 🙄 *2025-03-11* Как не пытайся все равно лапают стены враги .. или дохнут человечки . ### 1/5 — scam *2025-02-17, version 1.6.8* only wants your money! cool game but a scam artist can’t play without dying and having to pay money just like how they designed it ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-01-21* Не смог восстановить стаю записать ,дожил до 200 дня Can’t to return mine save from 200 days ,bad story ### 1/5 — Good game, but very challenging, and overpowered zombies *2024-06-20, version 1.5.5* Beautifully made game, however I do not understand the purpose of allowing zombies to attack your wall during the morning, it stops the workers (blacksmith, farmer, etc) from working even though they are inside jobs. Then again why do they retreat if they can “take the sunlight and attack the walls” it seems counter intuitive to their nature. I think it best to pick one, also how come a stone wall is stronger than a iron is stronger than stone, so why is it that a wall with minimal iron can take a blood moons from day 200, what I would suggest is adding a bit of durability for iron walls, otherwise it is just I just have a flimsy wall. In summary, all I ask is for a resistance against zombie attacks in walls and for zombies to be fully eradicated by mornings. ### 1/5 — Unbalanced! *2024-06-10, version 1.5.5* This game is extremely unbalanced! The reason is because all of the structures cost to much wood to build and upgrade (for example: the main base cost 600 wood for the second upgrade and you need that to upgrade your workbench FOR the saw to repair walls!) in all, this game is extremely unbalanced and whoever can get good at this game would have to be extremely lucky. ### 1/5 — 极其不合理 *2024-06-04, version 1.5.5* 你家人一小时吃一顿饭是吧？咋不噎死呢？ ### 1/5 — I hate payed to win games *2024-04-21, version 1.5.3* Honestly this game is little too unplayable mainly due to the difficulty I seen the reviews on this game they say the same thing as I am saying. They make this game hard to play to get there greedy hands on some money ### 1/5 — Money grabbers *2024-04-21, version 1.5.3* Is funny how they managed to take more money from people , for a free game , every time you lose you need to pay or to restart from zero , it was something if the game was 2-3 pounds , but cus the game is made to lose often , you won’t want to restart from zero so you pay , greedy , I paid a lot for a bad game , when I could buy a proper game , with one time payment and I could have more fun, don’t recommend it at all , greedy developers for a bad game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — やっと *2026-08-25* 365日生存できました〜 難しかったけど楽しかった！ 時間が溶けます〜 ### 5/5 — Fun challenge *2026-07-30, version 2.3.32* This game is very challenging but learn from your mistakes and you will get further. Love this game because there is always something you have to managing. Just a great game that I love playing when I have a break in my day. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-07-28, version 2.3.32* Honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played, I’m 100% gonna buy the full version on steam so I can play more often. My only issues so far is just wishing the days were a bit longer. Also once you make it to base level 4 everything needs stone and the stone gathering is just annoyingly slow. No matter how much I upgrade them I just can’t gather enough to get all the upgrades done. And needing 1500 stone to upgrade the workbench to start making scrap is very frustrating. All together though, the game is amazing, and the major issue i have is just wishing the resources, gathering mechanics, and upgrade costs were more balanced. ### 5/5 — Beta tester review *2026-05-16, version 2.3.32* As an original beta / TestFlight tester, I’m proud to say I love this game. The test came out March 2023 and I tested June 27th and onward and I had LOADS of fun, just rediscovered this game 3 full years later and I am about to redownload after all these years. I can’t recommend this game enough for people who just want to pass time on a calm little mobile game. Happy to see you guys at top 100 on App Store in your category! Congrats to all the devs, all the other testers and everyone else that has and will enjoy this game! ### 5/5 — I enjoy playing this game *2026-05-04, version 2.3.32* It’ll help you think about analogy towards managing things like if you manage things wrong you would fail and start over again or pay to continue, similarly to how life works, you can pause it and take a break and or think about what to optimize for in the village to protect it from decay from hunger, lighting, winter, “zombies” You can move forward with the current way in which you managed something or destroy the thing you payed to build and pay with resources for building something better that optimizes better than what was previously constructed. Don’t be afraid to work backwards. ### 5/5 — Must play game *2026-01-29, version 2.3.32* Absolutely one of the best games I’ve ever played. I played it for 6 hours non stop yesterday, I can’t get enough. And I spend a lot of time looking for good games on the App Store. It’s even more addictive than anything on the PS5 or PC. ### 5/5 — Hard but fun *2025-12-31, version 2.3.27* I had to restart multiple times before getting the hang of the game. When I did get used to it, I survived a long time. I’m currently on day 206 as of writing this review. Those who said it scales too hard (on the free app) hasn’t played and learned about the game enough. To put it bluntly, as of this post, id say they had “skill issues” as the current game I’m playing has lasted 4 to 5 hours. Yes it was hard, but idk if i would say if the game is impossible yet. My goal is to get to day 300 or 500. If I manage to get there I’d set my goal to 1000. The most important thing in the early game is wood, and then rush stone and then get the farms. Thats how I survived in this game so far. My storage for my farms are 14250 and population of 325 out of 350. Also, be careful on population control, especially on early game, dont populate too fast until you get the farms. Also learn about the season, know when to hunt less to conserve the deer population until needed (like during winter). You get less farm food during winter so you should hunt more during it. As long as the game doesn’t crash or glitch, it’s a 5/5 star for me. ### 5/5 — ムラ村 *2025-08-18* むず過ぎて夜しか眠れないんだけど ### 5/5 — Best phone game rn *2025-06-07, version 2.3.11* I would play this game on my phone over any other ### 5/5 — My favorite game to date *2025-06-06, version 2.3.11* I have huge hope for this game, I can’t wait for the full release. I’ve already pre ordered n made some purchases recently to help support the devs plus to keep my outpost going lol. Big hopes and good luck devs you have my support! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
