Всем советую копить 1250 на чи. С ней вы котиком пройдите сюжет .А теперь про наборы. Уважаемый разработчик, пожалуйста, сделай простую версию вашего платного набора ах эффектов стихий, чтобы можно было собрать все вещи и закрыть пустые ячейки чертежей, а то игра кажется незавершенной. И да, 2000 — это много, за эти бабки можно купить полноценную игру в Стиме. **Developer response:** Она не может улучшать все предметы, потому что за это надо платить кристаллами. Стоимость улучшения в среднем как 1 сундук. Улучшил один = не получил 3 других предмета. Её умение позволяет собирать самые редкие предметы для коллекции - это да, но даже с Чи пройти игру за пару часов не выйдет. Причем здесь пейтувин, объясните? ### 2/5 — I wish…I wish…I wish… *2026-02-01* I wish this game wouldn’t freeze SOOO MUCH!!! I’m really trying to enjoy it but… ### 3/5 — A good game with one major issue *2026-01-29* I enjoy this game a lot. The merge genre was always entertaining to me and the zombie apocalypse theme works well too. The graphics are also great. The game is almost perfect. “But you reviewed it 3 stars. What’s wrong with it?” Crashes. Lots of crashes. Freezes up my phone kinda crashes. Seizure inducing graphic reset kinda crashes. It’s every 20-30 minutes of this game. “At least you don’t lose your progress on your runs.” False. 1. If your game crashes, it sets you back at least one wave. Any good gear you may have merged or acquired is now gone and the pool is reset. 2. The crashes are most frequent on the “Vault” runs. These are limited entry levels than earn you gems and tokens in exchange for a green key that’s not exactly easy to get/farm without a lot of luck or time investment. Specifically in this crash scenario, you are not given an opportunity to rejoin the run, rendering the effort you went thru to get the key useless. Do I like this game in concept? Yes. Do I like this game in practice? Yes. Do I wish there was an answer to the crashes every 20 minutes? Absolutely. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed review! We're trying to fix the crashes, we were stuck but now we've got some new ideas and we'll make an update in February focused solely on this issue. ### 3/5 — Comprehensive Review *2026-01-27* I want to hit on what I like and don’t like about this game and why. Things I like: -The weapon merging and leveling aspect of this feature. This shows me the developer thought about the growth and longevity of this game. -Ads that reward for watching. This is nice to earn an edge in the combat that you otherwise wouldn’t have. -Art style. This is different from the other games that are the same play style as this one. Things I don’t like: (this affected star rating) -Forced ads with no rewards. The number one fast way for me to delete a game is this fact. This game is boarding on that fringe. -Uniqueness. Besides the art style, this game has nothing going for it. Why should I want to continue to play this game? I promised an improved review and here it is. I am carious, Developer, what is the future of this game and did this review help you in anyway? **Developer response:** Hey, yes, we value all of the detailed opinions about our game. We do think about adding a story mode or story missions to this game so it will become a prequel to Uprising: Survivor RPG as it was meant to be. And about the forced ads, maybe it's something unbelievable but when we've tried the version without them everything became worse, revenue, playtime, even retention was lower - so we had to revert it. That's odd, we know, but the numbers speak for themselves. ### 2/5 — Not Broken Game *2026-01-22* What ever you did seemed to fixed the game. I will play it for a while and provide honest feedback later. **Developer response:** Dear Player, We test our games thoroughly and meticulously and this release is online for more than a month. You are the first who came to us with such an issue. We've tried to reproduce this bug and we've found out that it can happen on the first launch of the game and after that the game runs just fine. I think you did but have you tried to reopen it again? Also, what device do you use? Best wishes, Verarium ### 2/5 — $39.99 for no freakin ads *2025-10-10, version 1.0.3* Can you say money hungry ### 3/5 — WTH HAPPENED??? *2025-09-28* You’ve had a 5⭐️ rating from me from day one of downloading this game……UNTIL NOW. I’ve been playing for quite a while. Finished levels, done tasks to unlock things, saved up jems to buy players and special items/perks. I was all the way up to 34 backpack slots unlocked. I loaded the game today…..27 slots. Where’d my slots disappear to???? Fix whatever is wrong PLEASE!!! **Developer response:** Please send us the screenshot of your upgrades window and your backpack in game. We've changed to direction of final backpack, it was 6 x 5 cells and now it should be 5 x 6 cells (because our UI is made for 5x6 max, not 6x5). But we never had a backpack more than 6 x 5 (30 cells), so I can't understand how you've got 34 slots before. Our email is marketing@verariumgames.com ### 2/5 — Fun but a lot of ads *2025-09-07* The game looked cool and was fun for a few stages but the forced ads became annoying real fast. If it was a 5 second ad I wouldn’t care but on a 10 stage level getting forced ads wave after wave makes me not want to play it. A total of 15 seconds to beat the stage, maybe 5-10 to merge items, then 90, 180, 60 second forced ads makes 0 sense. Will prob delete ### 2/5 — Forced Ads *2025-09-01* I downloaded and played the game today and thought I may have found a keeper, but after a few levels I started getting forced ads mid level. That’s a big no from me and I deleted. There are lots of backpack games out there. I’ll stick with one without forced ads mid level. ### 2/5 — What happened *2025-07-02* The game won't allow me to even see the play? It's totally not viewable. Like there's a camera view that's not allowing me to even see the game being played. **Developer response:** Well, that's odd. You play on phone or iPad? Can you send us a screenshot of this bug on marketing@verariumgames.com ? ### 3/5 — Jeu intéressant mais... *2025-06-16, version 0.8.7* Ça devient rapidement répétitif. Il faut regarder plusieurs publicités au début pour avancer puis, les publicités forcées arrivent et gâchent le plaisir de jouer. ### 3/5 — Good game with iPad issues *2025-05-29* I have the iPad Pro 13 inch and the resolution of your game hide some of the features and I’m unable to click to get certain rewards as well as click other areas that are necessary because they’re hidden behind objects that won’t let me click on them. Maybe you could put in a way to adjust the resolution to allow the game toappear more like it does with the iPhone so that I can play the game and not have to start all over. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ad removal scam *2026-06-01* I liked the premise of this game and saw all the reviews mentioning the ads. I went ahead and paid for the $40 premium forced ad and reward removal. However after several restarts- the game is still making me watch videos. In the process of getting a refund and deleting the game. **Developer response:** Sorry for the ruined experience, it doesn't behave like that usually (there are hundreds of premium users)! It's the first time we hear something like that happen and we will try to understand why it happens. We thoroughly test every major update and the functuanality of premium is one of our key tests. :( ### 1/5 — Nice , but not to nice *2026-03-19, version 1.0.7* After lever 15 and up the sound in my iPhone 16 pro max stop, just like an auto stop, mute , nada, why???? Sucks ### 1/5 — Broken Game *2026-01-13* Installed game, opened the app. Handled the screens through the privacy policies and what not. Then instead of loading in the screen went black and nothing. For the Developer: maybe you should had spent more time in alpha testing prior to rush launching your game. **Developer response:** Dear Player, We test our games thoroughly and meticulously and this release is online for more than a month. You are the first who came to us with such an issue. We've tried to reproduce this bug and we've found out that it can happen on the first launch of the game and after that the game runs just fine. I think you did but have you tried to reopen it again? Also, what device do you use? Best wishes, Verarium ### 1/5 — Constant ads *2026-01-08* The amount of ads you are forced to watch makes this game unplayable ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-01-02, version 1.0.7* Good game and graphics but it forces ads regardless of you watching or not in mid game. ### 1/5 — Pass *2025-11-15, version 1.0.6* Pass on this. Worse merge game. I hardly merge my gear due to lack of space and size of the gear. Strong p2w model ### 1/5 — Game lags and freezes during the main game *2025-10-25* When I’m doing levels and going through the waves of the enemies and merging weapons the game would freeze a little bit and then lag And the game wouldn’t progress. ONE STAR! Fix it!! ### 1/5 — Ads to play *2025-08-29* Was an interesting game until level 10, stage 1. Have to watch an ad every 4 waves of the level to continue. I am playing 2 games right now that I haven’t been forced to watch an ad…and I am 3 weeks in ### 1/5 — РЕКЛАМА!!!!!!!!! Заманала *2025-08-14* Навязчивая реклама, игра норм ### 1/5 — View *2025-07-04* You can’t see anything. Action is so far away. **Developer response:** That's odd. Do you play on phone or iPad? Can you send us a screenshot of this bug on marketing@verariumgames.com ? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-06-16* Fun game and easy to progress on. The only thing I don’t like is you get the same basic cards in the beginning and they don’t really improve much by the time the game ends. Sometimes the cards are worthless and you spend the currency and still wind up with nothing. I’d like to see better weapon development and have that appear more often. ### 5/5 — 💎💎 *2025-10-18, version 1.0.4* 🌊🌊 ### 5/5 — Прохождение *2025-06-13* В 21 городе уже на первом уровне не возможно пройти даже вторую волну. Разные тактики перепробовал обмундирования. Уже две недели пытаюсь. И абель не проходит даже третью волну. **Developer response:** Что ж, вы дошли до самой высокой сложности игры! Там сложно, но пройти эти уровни возможно, наш QA их прогрызал. Более того, у нас есть рекордсмены, которые прошли и до 50, и до 70 города. Сейчас у вас очень сильно вкачан первый герой (мы нашли вас в статистике!), но, возможно, у вас не так удачно легли апгрейды. Я бы рекомендовал вам переключиться на Sweep-режим (вернуться в предыдущие города и там погонять врагов полегче) или События, и пофармить ресурсы. Может быть, стоит попробовать другого героя, например, Абеля. У него и броня есть, и здоровья побольше, и есть ракетница как умение. ### 5/5 — Есть проблемка. *2025-04-22* В принципе игровой процесс норм. Можно поиграть, время убить. Но есть баги, персонаж упирается в бочки или столбы которые он должен обходить и на этом всё, бежит на одном месте уперевшись в препятствия, на этом конец только переигрывать. Надо исправлять ошибку!!! **Developer response:** Попробуйте обновление 0.7.5 - мы постарались исправить все эти ошибки. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-02-12* What a great game, good graphics, smooth gameplay ### 4/5 — Комментарий *2025-09-28* Просто ОЧЕНЬ много рекламы. ### 4/5 — Stand and fight *2025-07-17* I enjoy playing this game but I really get frustrated on so many adds. ### 4/5 — Задумка хорошая *2025-07-07* Мне все понравилось, но сам гейм дизайн сбора вещей очень муторный и требует изучения многим это не надо запоминать по сотне комбинаций и характеристики запутанные слишком запутанные для такой простой игры. А вообще проект хороший но на любителя. ### 4/5 — Не могу получить награды *2025-06-07* Добрый день столкнулся с проблемой, на айпаде невозможно забрать финальную награду в каждом городе, перекрывает название города ### 4/5 — Top row chest *2025-04-18, version 0.7.2* The chest is unreachable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
