### 2/5 — Good but can’t make money

*2026-07-29, version 1.1.1*

Greta game but you make no money it’s pointless now and lost all interest.

### 4/5 — Need more maps!

*2026-02-24, version 1.1.1*

I have pass all the maps except the snow, but I can’t get into it,I want to play the new chapter!

### 2/5 — Offline

*2025-12-26, version 1.1.1*

From what I can tell, you’re supposed to have one hour of off-line time, but every single time I come back in, no matter how developed my bases are, I have earned zero cash? I have income, so I think it’s a bug.

### 3/5 — 在哪设置语言？

*2025-12-24, version 1.1.1*

在哪设置语言？

### 3/5 — No Snow Map

*2025-12-07, version 1.1.1*

Love the game, but the snow map is glitched and not accessible at all for me so now I cant progress any more

### 3/5 — Update needed

*2025-11-14, version 1.1.1*

Great game but it needs updates and new bases

### 4/5 — Mr

*2025-11-05, version 1.1.1*

A great game. I have just started and have got it. Definitely recommend it. Just try it out.

### 3/5 — Waiting patiently for the update

*2025-10-21, version 1.1.1*

Waiting patiently for the update , it’s been over 200 days now, still nothing ….. must be in Gaza ??

### 3/5 — Great games with bugs

*2025-10-07, version 1.1.1*

I really enjoy this game, however there are a few bugs that have made it somewhat difficult to continue. I have just opened the forest one but I don't have any tasks for some reason. If these could be fixed it would be a 5 star game to me.

### 2/5 — 没有中文

*2025-08-07, version 1.0.1*

没有中文

### 4/5 — Please let me restart game

*2025-07-09, version 0.25.2*

I really wish there was a way to restart your game because I stopped playing the game for a year and then I decided to play it again and I don’t really remember anything and I want to start over but it won’t let me

### 3/5 — Middle of the road

*2025-06-25, version 0.25.2*

Kinda bummed that there is only so few bases. I’m stuck on forest and can’t progress pass it after the missions. Be nice if they could add some more

### 4/5 — Soldiers disappear?

*2025-06-05, version 0.25.2*

No matter what I do now my soldiers I put on a mission disappear even if their skill is way over the requirement.  At first they didn’t and then suddenly they vanish.  I don’t see the time and effort of raising up a soldier if you only get one use out of them? Is it a bug?

### 3/5 — No update in a year

*2025-05-25, version 0.25.2*

This game was really fun and I was excited to finish building the last base then it went quiet. Very sad for a great game

### 3/5 — Waiting on another mission.

*2025-05-19, version 0.25.2*

I’ve completed all available missions but keeps saying the next mission is on construction. Having to wait nearly a week on Zombie missions, quite frustrating to be honest.

### 2/5 — Incomplet!!

*2025-04-20, version 0.25.2*

Jouabilité super mais incomplète

### 4/5 — Great game, but something to suggest

*2025-03-26, version 0.25.2*

Adding in wars and cities to upgrade to passively get more money. And in wars you have to put up army bases and deploy troops there or the cities are taken over. Overall great game and love the idea of an army base game.

1st edit: A guy by the username of Anyone78481 made a review similar to this and I agree with him. I am finished with dessert and sea island base and my dessert base is maxed out and I saw that my most skilled recruit by the name of something like James Kent deserted and I watched as he didn’t get his share of food(he was last in line) and everyone else got their food and his ai started suffering completely and it was like he refused to eat food. And there was a raid in the middle of the night that lasted to the morning. He could not get a full sleep and deserted during the day. I think that the directives should work like how they do in ZHT(Zombie Hospital Tycoon). Where they are just weak passives that evolve. I like that card system better. Also how are you able to get negative resources. This happens on forest and it’s weird. ZHT fixed the resources bugs cause I have never seen negative resources in that game.

### 4/5 — It’s good

*2025-02-16, version 0.25.2*

It’s a great game but has ads so 4 stars

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Need my account to be looked at or the game updated.

*2025-09-21, version 1.1.1*

My speed ups only work for recruits and to bring in more money, nothing else like vehicle repairs, or surviving engagements, also I wish it wasn’t so complicated training a perfect soldier if you guys can be a little more details on our personal army’s specs.

### 1/5 — No updates

*2025-07-07, version 0.25.2*

Seems like they have stopped developing this game. Arctic base has been 2 years under construction according to some other reviews I have read

### 1/5 — Some stupid ads

*2025-04-09, version 0.25.2*

Some of your ads can not calm reward after watching it and is annoying I feel like deleting your game cause it has repeated itself more than 30 times today which I could not calm the rewards 😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — ?

*2025-03-30, version 0.25.2*

Only English?!

### 1/5 — Lost my purchase when I reset with nuke

*2025-03-11, version 0.25.2*

I purchased the zero ads. I completed all tasks so I clicked the nuke on the first base to reset the game. It said I would keep gold, cards and purchases but now I am required to watch ads again!? Please give me the zero ads back that I purchased or refund me the money!! Then this would go from 1 to 5 stars easily

### 1/5 — Update needed

*2025-03-06, version 0.25.2*

Great game but it needs updates and new bases

### 1/5 — Only 3 Bases!

*2025-02-28, version 0.25.2*

It’s a great game but don’t spend $ like I did. Once I spent about $10, the game was over a week later.

### 1/5 — Good game need more bases/levels

*2025-02-01, version 0.25.2*

I’ve spent a fair amount of money on the game all bases are maxed out so the game is pretty much unplayable now there’s nothing to grind for or upgrade fun game spent many hours on it please add more bases update came back 5 months later to try to see if they added new bases to my surprise nothing at all I find a nuke saying it’ll reset the game and I think oh what the heck why not grind thru the game again for fun but turns out you lose all in app purchases as well everything you spent real hard cash on just gets stripped from you and they have the audacity to try to make you buy everything all over again ridiculous stay away from this game

### 1/5 — Purchases Will Charge You More Than on Screen Says

*2025-01-13, version 0.25.2*

Bought a .99 pack and ended up being charged 9.99. Going to delete them game. I don’t like thieves or liars.

### 1/5 — WHY BASE UNDER CONSTRUCTION ?

*2024-10-13, version 0.25.2*

I completed mission at Forest but can't move on next base now. Help me!

### 5/5 — Fun consumer of your time not saying it it’s alive, wink wink, wink

*2026-06-11, version 1.1.1*

Might have like a few bugs but other than that fun game best I’ve ever played besides Fortnite

### 5/5 — Amazing but open last base

*2026-03-17, version 1.1.1*

open the last base

### 5/5 — Need more

*2025-09-03, version 1.0.1*

I have bought everything I needs more content

### 5/5 — Please update

*2025-06-30, version 0.25.2*

Game is very fun but needs more!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2025-01-30, version 0.25.2*

My favorite game. I just wish there were more levels as I finished it. There is a nuke at the first base that resets all your progress on all 3 bases but you keep your gold and cards you have collected so makes your next run a breeze. I wish there were firefight sounds as you get invaded and your men fight back but still fun to watch them take out the enemy. I do wanna see more events like the zombie one were they attack every night but you’ll get it here and there. It would be awesome if there was a zombie only mode instead of it occasionally where you just fight them every night to give you something else to do once you complete the game, also maybe more hero’s? Like deadshot or John wick lol

### 5/5 — Final base

*2025-01-28, version 0.25.2*

Would like to know when the final base is going to be ready love the game but getting sick of waiting as there is nothing else to do at the moment except wait for zombie bases every few days!!!

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2025-01-06, version 0.25.2*

The problem is that even though the ads are optional you can not go anywhere without watching ads because of the upgrades and all that

### 5/5 — So awesome

*2024-09-16, version 0.25.2*

This game is awesome and so much fun 10/10

### 5/5 — Sneaky App

*2024-09-02, version 0.25.2*

Don’t install it if you want it to steal your personal data, when download it hides it’s ability to be accessed in your settings to stop it from using third party tracking.

### 5/5 — Keveyon

*2024-08-09, version 0.25.2*

When we first start, give us a lot of money
