### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-08-16, version 4.3*

Impossible go play without ads. Resources go too quickly, even with ads I can’t maintain resources for survivors

### 4/5 — Solid choice, Its a pretty ok game

*2026-03-10, version 4.1*

Its not bad, honestly. The build system is kinda aids tho imo

### 3/5 — Repetitive

*2026-02-19, version 4.1*

Needs more everything. Game is so dry it could use additions like towers and just more. Anything

### 4/5 — I need help with something about your game

*2025-11-23, version 4.0*

I can’t see anyway to put on any kind of helmet on a character why?
Also can you make the character look different just a suggestion

### 2/5 — Wenig Inhalt

*2025-08-05*

Hier und da mal ne kurze Werbung, aber es fehlt einfach der Inhalt

### 2/5 — Вроде и норм, но все портят монетки.

*2025-08-03*

В игре есть своя валюта, за которую можно покупать различные расходники или снаряжение. Только эти монетки никак не получить (реклама не работает), и остается только донат. Не хватает какого-то ежедневного бонуса или доп способа по получению монеток. Лично я, столкнувшись с отсутствием боезапаса, который можно купить только за монетки, бросил игру, уж слишком не хотелось тратить настолько драгоценную валюту.

### 3/5 — Ok game

*2025-07-31, version 3.9*

Could of been an amazing game but i remember playing this awhile ago and not a single update has come to the app. 

Went in and a very little tutorial.  It’s the same rooms on repeat when you go to raid.  I spent 99cents on some cash just to get some guns quick to see if I would be able to regain “food or water” to be able to continue playing.  

It’s basically impossible to get enough food water or ammo to have enough “fuel” for your raids and so on.

### 1/5 — Баг

*2025-07-25*

Шлемы на персонажей не и даже не отображаются в инвентаре и также персонажи пропадают 
И еще при исследование карты персонажи с труженик не стреляют хотя всех ресурсов предостаточно

### 2/5 — Gets old and dull real fast

*2025-07-18, version 3.9*

Play for 10mins and delete it as you will have seen all there is in the game

### 1/5 — Play death ahead zombie warfare

*2025-07-18, version 3.9*

This is just cheap shovelware trying to bait people from actual death ahead. What a joke.

### 1/5 — meh

*2025-05-21, version 3.7*

It's ok. It's a copycat off ZombieForrestHd. If you want basically the exact same game but 500% more polished and thought out and idk original.......

### 1/5 — Eh

*2025-03-10, version 3.7*

There was no optional equipment to place a helmet and secondly was is look like a bad version of dead ahead zombie warfare the zombies are the same

### 4/5 — Purchased item not usable

*2025-01-19, version 3.7*

Good game, lots of potential. 

Recently purchased in game currency to boost the purchase of in game supplies, however, it appears that the helmets purchased are no where to be found, thus they can’t be equipped on to survivors. I’ve repeatedly purchased multiple helmets and unfortunately it’s the result. 

Hopefully the developers can look into this and provide a remediation.

### 1/5 — Could be better reasons why it’s not

*2025-01-08, version 3.7*

First off it is really really buggy when u buy rooms their everywhere not like it should be the materials and a lot of other stuff need tiny graphic updates and it’s repetitive it’s a good concept but it’s the same thing over and over, the tradeing concept need to be changed and not jus a box on the screen, I will try the game Ana other time and update my review

### 1/5 — I lost all of my progress because my survivors wouldn’t shoot

*2024-11-14, version 3.6*

This game is super glitchy

### 1/5 — Watered down version of fortress td

*2026-05-08, version 4.2*

This is just fortress td but saturated with ads, microtransactions and also without all of the features that made fortress td intense and interesting. I wish I had an android so i could just play that instead of this slop

### 1/5 — Too much ads

*2026-04-04, version 4.2*

Bombing you with a lot ads

### 1/5 — RIPOFF!!

*2026-03-11, version 4.1*

IT A RIPOFF OF Z WARFARE WHICH IS A BETTER GAME THIS TRASH GOT MORE POPULAR SOMEHOW

### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads

*2026-01-12, version 4.1*

Would rather pay a couple bucks and have a decent game made with no consistent ads

### 1/5 — Бред

*2025-11-12*

Может я что-то не понял, но отряд из 8 персонажей тратит 16 патрон на рейде и в течение самого рейда тоже тратятся патроны…..,а за победу 6 патрончиков….иии?
Боезапас кончается и рестарт. Персонажа все еще пропадают(игра кал)

### 1/5 — Literally no point

*2025-11-08, version 4.0*

The “rewards” you get are literally useless unless you watch ads. Pathetic

### 1/5 — Blatant money grab

*2025-10-19, version 4.0*

Pay to win.

### 1/5 — Zombie war is hard

*2025-09-14, version 3.9*

This game won’t add weapons but only fix bugs you know is not on android play store on google. so that game is hard. it must be 1x 2x 4x timewrap. you know, it doesn’t update to add new weapons rename weapon. Expert game.

### 1/5 — Zombie war is hard

### 1/5 — Does this game breach copyright?

*2025-08-15, version 3.9*

This game shares an entirely different publisher/provider to the other Dead Ahead games alongside being copyrighted under a different copyright (all information regarding publishing and copyright can be found upon scrolling down when looking at the game on the App Store)

The game barely shares any similarities with the other two Dead Ahead games, the only real similarities are the human character sprites and a few HUD and menu icons

The best way I can describe this game is that it’s like that popular Plants Vs. Zombies meme and spoof game of Crazy Dave in a side scroller running really fast as he shoots zombies, for those that know what I’m talking about that’s how playing this game feels at least to me

### 5/5 — Имба

*2026-05-16*

Имба

### 5/5 — Cool Straightforward Game

*2026-05-13, version 4.2*

I think it’s a pretty cool game with straightforward gameplay. The graphics aren’t the best and some things need to be polished, but it’s a nice game to play casually. Only complaint is the ads but honestly it’s not bad since watching ads are set up as rewards. An example is watching an ad to get a cool better gun or double supplies.

### 5/5 — Love this game just needs a way to start over once all your people die.. had to reinstall the game

*2026-04-21, version 4.2*

To start over

### 5/5 — Youtubers opinion

*2025-03-26, version 3.7*

This is a really good game recommended I like all the games these guys make and you should get them all too. I like helping me help them so they can make more and update the ones more. This one isn’t my favorite but it’s still really good. buy YouTuber Gassy

### 5/5 — Good

Good👍

### 5/5 — Awesome fun

*2023-11-28, version 1.3.2*

Just try it out!

### 5/5 — Так ли это интересный проект?

*2023-11-11*

Телефонные зомби игры в стиле защиты мало. Эта игра как понял от начинающего разработчика. И как свежая игра она интересная, есть недочеты в виде отсутствующей рекламы, часть интерфейса за шторку 11 айфона прячется, настройка объектов неудобная, выбираешь только один объект, без возможности перемещать несколько сразу. Как в противоположение минусов плюсы могу назвать графику, рейды зараженных домов, менеджмент и много всего интересного.
