Not what it shows in ads or on the app page at all. ### 2/5 — Alliances have gotten out of control *2026-08-06, version 4.0.236* Every alliance you join tells you that you have to join discord or get kicked. I’m not joining another app to play a game. It’s kind of frustrating. ### 2/5 — Game good, moderators are terrible *2026-08-05, version 4.0.236* The game is good, nice varied play and progresses well quite quickly. However, the moderators/support are dreadful. I started playing this game on the premise of a currency reward for another game through TapJoy. I completed four quests, which included buying the additional build queue and levelling my Head Quarters. Despite there being clear evidence of my second build slot and HQ level, they refused to honor their offer and denied my evidence somehow.. ### 1/5 — Game is not like the ads *2026-08-05, version 4.0.236* The game is not at all like the ads. ### 1/5 — Pay or don’t play *2026-07-28, version 4.0.236* If you aren’t spending hundreds of dollars you are just in the game for the entertainment of the people that are. ### 4/5 — Steals media player *2026-07-27, version 4.0.236* Game is good BUT it takes over my media player and that is NOT COOL!!! I can’t play until this is fixed!!! Please do asap!!! 🙏 ### 1/5 — Garage *2026-07-21, version 4.0.235* Slop game like many others ### 1/5 — MORNING DO NOT BUY *2026-07-19, version 4.0.235* The game is not what you think it is instead of it being a game where you shoot zombies it’s literally just candy rush ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-07-17, version 4.0.235* The images and the pitch is misleading. It’s a city built plus candy crush fused. Not what I wanted. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing can’t open game at all *2026-07-14, version 4.0.234* 07/14 app keeps crashing every 20 seconds. Now can’t open game at all doesn’t load. Whatever you did keep making the app worse and worse now it’s completely unplayable. FIX IT ### 1/5 — Nothing really like the AD *2026-07-14, version 4.0.234* The ads look really fun even the interactive ones really got me hooked after playing for like 10 seconds so I downloaded the game and you only get that about 10% of the time. The rest is world building. It makes no sense what you’re actually supposed to be doing and is overly complicated. The other issue is as a woman I don’t want to see all these scantily clad female characters. It was over the top ridiculous and I deleted the game. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-07-14, version 4.0.234* All these update and still glitching is crazy…. It really sucks. ### 1/5 — Dumb *2026-07-12, version 4.0.233* Too much bs too much garbage town controlling not enough game play. I don’t want to manage a city and recruit and level things up. I just want to do puzzles and kill zombies. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste you time on this money pit *2026-07-12, version 4.0.233* Don’t waste you time on this money pit. Its a trap game everything cost money and 10to100time what it should. ### 1/5 — Criminal *2026-07-11, version 4.0.233* This game is a very poor strategy game where you super slowly grow your profile over time. There is no clear way to develop your character without spending money and most of the upgrades are pay to play but you see negligible change for your spend. Not a good game!! Note that if you try to leave the game the developers have a totally restrictive practice where they expect you to reconfirm your game id which they have anyway. Give your local IP address, which they also have and proof of your last 10 purchases. Please buy NOTHING in this game they’re simple robbing you. My recommendation is stay very well clear of this one!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAMMERS! *2026-09-05, version 4.0.238* IT’S A CITY BUILDER! NOTHING LIKE THE AD! ### 1/5 — Misleidende advertenties *2026-09-05, version 4.0.238* Game is verre weg van waarmee geadviseerd wordt. Wederom misleidende advertenties om mensen te lokken. Makers van dit soort spellen zouden een keer geblokkeerd moeten worden ### 1/5 — Game sucks *2026-09-04, version 4.0.238* Can’t even message people who invite you to join their alliance that you don’t want to join ### 1/5 — AI SLOP *2026-09-01, version 4.0.238* get rid of all these ai slop games ### 1/5 — Beware! *2026-08-29, version 4.0.238* Do not let your kids play this. And do not play this if you are expecting a cheap game. There are constant money spending games involved & they are constantly pushing you to spend more & more to play. A lot of the games are pay to play / pay to win only & cannot be completed from free attempts … unfortunately we can’t add screenshots to reviews to provide the evidence of these, but then again, the devs don’t want evidence provided. If you have an issue, the customer support is ai driven, so only certain issues ever get resolved. After that, they aren’t interested … which also means that they don’t accept feedback on games which cannot be completed without spending money … Today alone, they want you to spend a minimum of £40 to complete the mini games & they try to get you to spend hundreds to participate in today’s main game. DO NOT get suckered in & DO NOT let your kids download this!!! ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2026-08-26, version 4.0.238* Takes around $30,000 of purchases to get remotely competitive and game dev’s and discord moderators make sure you don’t get too far. Their discord mods literally offer to take cashapp money to give you boosts (skins) that last 3 days. What a ripoff. This game should be banned. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-18, version 4.0.238* This game is solely built around spending money on gambling mechanics. Expect to pay 10s of thousands of dollars to be competitive. The developers add new “features” that are half baked and intended to trick users into spending money. ### 1/5 — WTF !!!!! *2026-08-14, version 4.0.238* What absolute garbage. Complicated confusing rubbish that constantly asks for money. Deleted !!! Update, I tried to give this another chance. I stand by my original review. It’s absolute rubbish. Confusing to say the least, NOTHING LIKE THE ADS !! Deleted again !!!!! ### 1/5 — WTF !!!!! *2026-08-10, version 4.0.236* What absolute garbage. Complicated confusing rubbish that constantly asks for money. Deleted !!! ### 1/5 — Video mismatched with game *2026-08-07, version 4.0.236* I saw a video ad and downloaded the game but there is nothing in game like that. Disappointing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ok game *2026-08-29, version 4.0.238* Is anyone else playing this for the battle cat rewards 😬 ### 5/5 — I like it! *2026-08-13, version 4.0.236* I discovered this game through Freecash, and have been playing for a few months now. While yes you can buy to level up faster, this is one of the few games that actually make it so you don’t have to. I have met some cool people playing this game and while I may not know what I’m doing exactly? It’s a great game to pass time and just have fun with it, which I’m extremely grateful for. I like the mini events in-game too. Idk, feels like the developers actually care about the gameplay and not just making a quick dollar. Kudos to you! ### 5/5 — A *2026-07-30, version 4.0.236* It used to be good 6 years back, great collabs, now it’s withering away, it was great while it lasted ### 5/5 — Genuinely a great game. *2026-07-02, version 4.0.231* I love how this game have a bunch of lore. It also plays around with the match concept and adds a strategy level. Where you have to be careful and choose which colours you match and where you decide to match to do the most damage to the zombies. Downloaded the game to get rewards for another game, ended up spending hours genuinely enjoying the game. ### 5/5 — Worth the download *2026-06-25, version 4.0.230* This game is incredible! Highly recommend. Only problem is you need money to get all the cool stuff. ### 5/5 — Wish do so f *2026-05-02, version 4.0.220* Gri Chai I ### 5/5 — Kaion *2026-04-09, version 4.0.217* Kaion ### 5/5 — Puzzled *2026-03-31, version 4.0.215* Interesting game ### 5/5 — puzzles and survival games *2026-03-29, version 4.0.215* This is a new thing for me and I’m really excited about this new game. Strategy games are fun 🤩 ### 5/5 — Kaion *2026-03-22, version 4.0.214* Kaion --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
