Cool

### 5/5 — Please don’t abandon it

*2022-09-19, version 1.3.56*

This is a great game, the best survival game on the AppStore in fact. I’ve played the radiation city and island. And for some reason this one surpassed those two despite it being a free game. If you update it with a final addition to the story at least it will draw more attention from YouTubers. The fact this is mobile once it gets enough attention from popular YouTubers the number of reviews and downloads for it on the AppStore will increase DRASTICALLY.

### 5/5 — Топ 1 за всю мою жизнь

*2022-04-24*

Класса где-то с 6-го я каждые два года скачиваю эту игру и прохожу заново. Сейчас я уже отучилась в вузе и работаю)) Ничего лучше в качестве игры на телефон наверное ещё просто не придумали) я искала) Грустно, что столько лет я ждала и заключительного обновления, но оно так и не вышло(

### 5/5 — A masterclass

*2022-04-10*

With outstanding visuals and brilliant weapon graphics, the game is the perfect amalgamation of an open-world survival adventure game. It is quite easy to play. The plot is engaging, but there's still room for improvement. For example, zombies attack you from a distance too far for me to reach. So the undead had a free hit for me, but that was enough negativity. I had a great time and gave it an 8.8/10.

### 4/5 — Забросили проект?

*2022-04-03*

Почему вы не делаете обновления уже два года?

### 5/5 — Где обновление?

*2022-03-26*
