## What is Live or Die?

Hey! Hey, wake up, survivor! Good, you’re alive, we’re glad you’ve made it! Take a breath while we get you up to speed. The apocalypse came when we least expected it and the world as we know it came to an end in mere days… That cursed virus outbreak wiped out almost the entire population leaving behind nothing but post apocalyptic wasteland filled with dangers previously unknown to humanity. The virus killed billions and those who weren’t so lucky turned into the horrifying walking dead – zombies, monsters, mutants. Don’t panic, you are not the last survivor! Our agency did come across other people fighting for their survival every day. Look, we can’t help you with much, we’re already spread too thin, but we will give you knowledge vital to survive. The fight for your survival will be brutal but, hey, if you do survive, you’ll have a million of post apocalypse action stories to pass on to your children! Take this protocol and good luck!

Survival protocol: 
- Every survivor must rely on himself above all so start training! Evolve yourself to the max of your abilities, evolve in building, crafting, using armor and weapons and of course evolve in killing zombies, mutants and bloodthirsty monsters. Each day you survive in the open world makes you smarter, each mile you outrun your own death makes you faster, each head you smash to pieces makes you stronger. Evolve, craft, build – learn to survive at any cost, fight for your survival against all odds!

- Even the strongest survivor will die without a proper weapon and armor. Each time you evolve to the next level you’ll unlock more blueprints for crafting. Make the best of them! Find what suits you best – a fast knife to pierce the zombies, a heavy hammer to smash mutants or a loud but effective gun to make the walking dead even deader. Crafting and building are your main means of survival in this harsh apocalypse!

- Remember survivor, no matter how effective you are with your weapon or how hard your armor is you’ll still need to rest to survive this apocalypse. The open world of post apocalyptic wasteland is a very dangerous place, so build your own shelter! Building walls and upgrading them, setting up traps, crafting unpickable locks for doors – do everything to protect yourself from zombies, monsters and mutants. Upgrade your shelter to keep you safe from the walking dead. Survive the day in post apocalyptic wasteland, survive the night in a comfy bed. 

- You might have blueprints for building a nuclear station, but not enough resources for building even a creaky barn. Explore and scavenge the open world of wasteland to gather everything you can. Resources are vital for your survival! You’ll need them for building, crafting and upgrading. Zombies, mutants and monsters won’t hesitate before trying to destroy your shelter and turn one more survivor into a walking dead. Don’t wait – explore and scavenge the open world!

- Be careful! The world has changed, it is now a harsh wasteland full of dangerous walking dead. Zombies, mutants and monsters definitely lost in intelligence but gained in strength, speed and ferocity. They WILL try to kill you at every turn, and you WILL have to fight them to survive. Upgrade your weapons and armor, start crafting the best equipment you can and be ready to explore and fight for your survival.

- Many people we getting ready for an apocalypse to come, too bad they were not ready enough. Fortunately for you they left behind many places of interest to scavenge and get unique resources. Look for abandoned labs, military bases, bunkers and loot them before other survivors beat you to it. If they do, however, you can always search for their shelter and rob them of their means for survival… Keep in mind though that trespassers won’t be treated kindly. 

- Immerse yourself in this post apocalyptic open world by completing quests and getting unique rewards. Make everything and anything to survive and tell your story!

### 1/5 — N'ouvre pas

*2026-08-21, version 2.45.3*

Le jeu n'ouvre juste pas

### 5/5 — My say

*2026-06-12, version 2.45.1*

Wonderful if you like being creative

### 1/5 — scam game confirmed

*2026-04-27, version 2.45.1*

Not worth the time, items cant be repaired high tier loot areas only give resources compared other games where you get actual high tier loot examples being Doz Frostborn etc which also has events that give insane loot. Dont even get me started on the ads and how they force their purchases on you they appear on every crafting window and when you enter base.

### 1/5 — Nah

*2026-03-24, version 2.45.1*

Ultra slugglish control and interface, barely 30fps on unlimited setting, forced ads popup every map travel

### 1/5 — …

*2026-03-21*

Ну доната этот банальный жвачный сор не стоит, а рекламу пусть сами разрабы и смотрят. В топку

**Developer response:** Привет, нам жаль, что наша игра тебе не подошла. Реклама позволяет играть в эту игру про апокалипсис абсолютно бесплатно! Мы же в свою очередь можем выпускать обновления.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-02-25, version 2.45.1*

This company sucks & I don’t like watching force advertising videos

### 5/5 — Live or Die 2

*2026-02-22, version 2.45.1*

I purchased 5 items for $3.99 and I got 3 of the same thing ( golf clubs) right after another and the last 2 weren’t even worth the money I spent. Usually I really like this game but I feel I was cheated.

### 1/5 — iğrenç

*2026-01-24, version 2.45.1*

bu dünyadaki en kötü oyun. oyun bok gibi sakın indirmeyin

### 3/5 — It’s great but

*2025-12-18, version 0.4.81*

So I’m enjoying the gameplay, the auto sort, tha you can watch endless ads for 30 energy so you can basically play all day BUT there are 2 motorcycle parts that are NOT in the places you say they are. There are also 2 tombs in the graveyard that say they have loot but you can’t access them, not even with Frankie. I may have to stop playing until this is fixed because I’m at a complete stand still without those parts. Really frustrating.

### 5/5 — Game hay nhưng

*2025-12-13, version 0.4.81*

Game tải lâu như lồn
