But the one thing that really sucks is how long it takes to beat these story missions. The first game was great, it didn’t take forever to play a mission. It takes days (in real life) to beat some of these in Rebuild 3, even just mission 2. When you start getting a lot of survivors it becomes tiring to assign them to everything and equip items for them etc. there’s not an obvious way to see who is in the middle of a mission or not, you have to look at each survivor to see if there is a symbol there or an unclosed ring. Seems like everytime I speed up time, some event happens and I have to slow it back down. You can play turn-based, but things that take 1.5 days aren’t efficient since you waste half a day to complete it if you play turn-based style (each turn is 1 day). If the missions were scaled down a bit by fixing some of these problems or reducing the map size, it would be much more fun ### 4/5 — I love it despite I have not much clue *2025-10-04* I liked it a lot, it is the first Rebuild I have played. But I don’t have much clue of how to know how to win the good end. But, I will try to put more attention, I have read all, but English is not my first language and I dunno if that is the reason that I can’t catch the clues. I have not idea how to get all the Research. ### 3/5 — RNG is awful, game is fine otherwise *2025-06-25, version 1.6.37* I think I would have more fun juggling bricks than playing on hard/impossible. The RNG of this game just decides arbitrarily you should lose on higher difficulties, and the lower ones are trivially easy ### 3/5 — Big fan of the series *2025-02-27* I’ve been a big fan of this series for a long time. While this is a great game it’s less impending doom of undead attacking and more of a stalemate while 5+ groups sit idle just outside the walls while you sit idly passing time waiting for them to finally do something. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-01-03, version 1.6.37* One of the best for iPad. ### 5/5 — 🙏 *2024-12-29, version 1.6.37* add Russian language please ### 5/5 — Deluxe *2024-11-25, version 1.6.37* Dont suppose theres plans to port over the deluxe version 💀 ### 5/5 — This game still holds up 10 years later *2024-10-15* I don’t think I have been able to find a single game better than this in the 10 years since I first played this game. ### 5/5 — Awesome game despite its age *2024-08-29, version 1.6.37* I bought this game years ago and every 6 - 12 months I’ll restart and play it though again. It’s a great game that works well on iPad setting and brings together the zombie / survival / city build genre together in a seamless fun way. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-07-28* I absolutely love the first Rebuild. Now I decided to play Rebuild 3 and I am really enjoying it. The game is very well designed, very fun, somewhat complex and challenging. I don’t understand how this game is still unknown. I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Brillante juego de simulación y estrategia en un mundo postapocalíptico *2024-07-17, version 1.6.37* El primer Rebuild me fascinó tanto que pasé años buscando algo parecido, sin éxito. Hace poco descubrí que Northway había sacado esta nueva versión y… ¡es aún mejor! ### 5/5 — A classic *2024-06-22, version 1.6.37* Great game for a great price ### 5/5 — We need a remake *2024-06-06, version 1.6.37* This could've been one of the BEST turn based strategy game we ever had since Armorgames.com and I can’t wait for a remake or a better one! Playing it again now on mobile version! ### 5/5 — Waiting for Rebuild 4 *2024-05-27* Honestly, this is one of the best strategy game on the App Store. Please do release a new one! ### 5/5 — Rebuild 4 please *2024-05-24* Been playing this game since a kid and it’s still great! My only complaint is I beat all 3 and can’t find another game like this.. Please make a part 4 please! Best game I ever bought from the app store. This is definitely my comfort game. ### 5/5 — Perfect zombie game *2024-04-15, version 1.6.37* Been playing since Rebuild 1 on flash and this is truly a perfect sequel. Very fun game highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-02-29* Great game but Church of the Chosen Ones really sucks, otherwise i love absolutely everything about this game i just max out skills and take the low score on my first city and plow through every other one ### 5/5 — I love it despite I have not much clue *2024-02-15* I liked it a lot, it is the first Rebuild I have played. But I don’t have much clue of how to know how to win the good end. But, I will try to put more attention, I have read all, but English is not my first language and I dunno if that is the reason that I can’t catch the clues. ### 5/5 — Could use a few quick and easy updates! *2024-01-27* I think you could boost the game with just a couple quick updates like more options to keep your populations happy -- I.e. a boost in happiness depending on the amount of diversity in food collected, diversity created from higher skilled types of players, more weather events and ways to build relationships, etc ### 5/5 — Best game *2023-12-31, version 1.6.37* I used to play rebuild 1 and 2 on pc many years ago. This game gives me nostalgia. Best game ever. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This game is not compatible with the iPhone 11 Pro Max *2020-09-18* Please fix this ### 1/5 — BUYER BEWARE NO NOTCH SUPPORT *2020-05-15, version 1.6.21* I love Rebuild 1 and 2. This title has been on iOS for years now, honestly it’s only by the developers neglect at this point that they have not fixed the issue of the notch. Based on what it covers up, it makes it more than annoying for me to not want to play. I will be seeking a refund :-/. ### 1/5 — Leaving town? *2019-10-19* This game has great potential. I was so close to loving it until I made it so far into the game and I got a quest telling me to leave the town. Basically all the work you did was for nothing because in order to advance you have to take your leader and three other survivors to a new city and leave all your others behind. Worst idea ever. I thought okay I’ll do it at least I still have to old save. Oh but no I don’t it auto saved so I lost my main one. So there I was starting over practically with the survivors I chose to move on, when I came across a group I already had killed in the previous city, if it’s supposed to be the next stage, why the hell do I have to beat the group again? Honestly a terrible idea to have another city. I deleted the game because my time will not be wasted when you force me to leave the survivors I’ve trained and liked. ### 1/5 — Falsely advertised. *2019-03-26* The previews of this game show that it’s playable in portrait mode, but it’s not. ### 1/5 — Перестала грузиться *2017-03-10, version 1.6.13* Здравствуйте! После обновления игра перестала загружаться. Меню открывается, а при загрузке игрового процесса все виснет. ### 1/5 — No sound *2017-01-01* Avoid until the sound is fixed as it's broken for iOS 10 users. iPhone 7 iOS 10.2 ### 1/5 — No está en español *2016-11-06, version 1.6.6* Te limita a jugarlo en inglés ### 1/5 — Not working *2016-07-12* Not happy saved my pennies so could get this game after being a huge fan of rebuild only to have it kick me out when I try to start a new game. Please fix or reimburse for the waste of time. Thank you ### 1/5 — Je ne sais que dire *2016-01-15* Après avoir été très satisfait du rebuild premier du nom, je m'attendais à un super jeu ! Cependant je ne peux même pas me faire une idee étant donné qu'il ne se lance pas . J'attends une correction au plus vite ou un remboursement ### 1/5 — Error saving game *2015-10-26* On iOS 9.1 and iPhone 6s... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Survival… *2026-06-13* Liked the original, this is an amazing well thought out and properly realised improvement. ### 5/5 — Magnifique jeux de stratégie et de tactique *2026-02-15* On ne fait pas mieux. REBUILD 4 quand ??, avec animations, et suppléments vie réelle (saisons, catastrophes naturelles géantes, pandémies, …. Go Pas d’équivalent pour l’IA, stratégique et tactique. C’est comme une partie d’échecs ! => Construction+ressources+défenses+attaques+découvertes+diplomatie+moral équipé+…. => Tout est prévu, exemple : votre équipe est constituée de membres qui ont leur moral qui change suivant la situation, moins ils ont le moral plus ils mangent donc besoin de plus de nourriture, pour leur faire remonter le moral il faut les mettre au repos. Tout est dans ce niveau de détail. Aucun jeu fait cela avec autant de qualité. Une IA extraordinaire ! Seul CI 6 fait mieux mais en stratégie Globale seulement. Musique sublime bien en correspondance. >> il faudrait nous faire un nouveau Rebuild 4 avec : - Les saisons - Des pandémies - Des catastrophes naturelles ..... Et surtout garder cette magnifique IA. Bravo ! ### 5/5 — Great strategy *2025-11-04* I live this game, wish they kept the first games art style but it doesn’t hurt the game much. Been waiting for ever for the next game. This one is actually long n has multiple endings. I live how the last stage is done. Caught me off guard. Can recommend game to strategy oriented people. Start with pause on turn first. ### 5/5 — This game is a golden oldie *2025-10-26* If you’re looking for a classic game that has no ads and has actual gameplay than this is a good pick for you. It has an end of trading system as well as a nice story if a little generic at times. but if you’re looking for something real, then I suggest you pick this game up. ### 5/5 — Breath of fresh air *2025-10-18* Genuinely every time I open the app I’m taken back to the golden age of gaming. I bought a game, I download a game, it works, and I own it and can play it whenever I want. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-08-01, version 1.6.37* I played the original on Kongregate forever ago and then got them all on Steam. I’ve been playing this game on and off for years and it’s always fun. The strategy is good and it has a lot of replay ability. ### 5/5 — Imagine the Future *2025-07-27, version 1.6.37* Imagine a risk style version of this game or Rebuild lV. Hands down one of my favorite games. Bought it on every platform and have been playing since it was a flash game. Top Notch Stuff. ### 5/5 — Genuinely such an underrated gem *2025-07-24* One of the best, if not the best mobile games I’ve ever played. ### 5/5 — Incredible Game *2025-03-05, version 1.6.37* Was all I wanted and more. I hope a 4 version comes someday. Thanks to the creators really enjoyed playing it. ### 5/5 — An actual good mobile game *2025-02-13* No energy meter. Doesn't require online. No micro-transactions/ loot boxes. Play when you want, stop when you want. Just a good old game that you can play on your phone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
