Buying the AdsFree upgrade allows you to skip one, maybe two, ads per day. ### 3/5 — Bugged enemies *2024-12-09, version 1.8.8* The only complaint I have with this game is that quite frequently, seems to happen more often in quick battle than other modes, enemies will get *STUCK INSIDE YOUR SQUAD* leaving you not only UNABLE to kill them but they deal CONSTANT DAMAGE to you, rapidly ending the battle. Happens about every other battle, maybe every 3rd. It’s incredibly frustrating to have it happen once, then have to sit through an ad for a revive, then about a minute later, happens again. Rest is pretty good. Coins become a bit of a grind, but not terrible. Maybe some more team members who we can unlock *in game* instead of paying for would be nice, but it’s really just those bugged enemies… otherwise, this game’s an easy 4 star. ### 4/5 — Not bad BUT *2024-11-22, version 1.8.8* I see the game has updated a bit. Not bad, BUT my issue is that the game is still dry. The league thing is kinda pointless. I just wish we had more characters to grind for on league to make it worth doing. other then grinding for currency to buy keys. it would be dope if it had more characters with powers or something at least. I see new levels and it’s pretty fun to play in. For whatever reason I knew seeing the red icon for abilities even though Im maxed. Still don’t know what that’s about. I click on it, and I don’t see the issue. The red icon is till there as if I’m missing an upgrade. but other then that, it’s better and it’s not. Give me something worth grinding for on league ### 3/5 — Could be Great! *2024-11-12, version 1.8.6* Game is fun to play. Although it continually freezes during ads, causing me to lose my progress and have to force close the app. If I make it through the ad I lose sound until I completely shut the app down and restart. If the designers fix these issues the game would be solid. ### 2/5 — Forced ads *2024-11-04, version 1.8.6* 7 pop up ads plus quite a few optional ones to x out of for a 15 minute round. Really forcing you to buy the no ads unlock but still giving you ads you don’t want to have to watch to get the rewards so you click out of them. Seems redundant. Otherwise I would love playing this game. ### 4/5 — Whatever *2024-09-20, version 1.8.5* Very fun game but one thing that I hate they copied survivor io I checked files of the game same crystal for exp to lvl up and ehh but ad is true so 4 stars goodjob just don't steal ### 1/5 — Knock off *2023-09-08, version 1.6* This is a knock off version of Survivor.io ### 1/5 — Fix your ads *2023-08-17, version 1.6* The ad for your game that plays in CSR2 when we are getting bonus gas, chests or money does not allow us our reward. I have waited upwards of five minutes. I have played the ad game and still get the message no bonus you must watch video. I have played the ad game then downloaded and still get the message you must watch the video. It is highly frustrating to sit through this and not get your bonus. I don’t know if it is you or an ad agency that created your ad to be played in other games as I have seen this with other ads in other games and the only thing it makes me want to do is download the game, write a bad review, delete the game and repeat my actions until I no longer see your ad or it’s fixed. ### 2/5 — Fun game but don’t buy remove ads pack!! *2023-07-21, version 1.6* This game is very entertaining. Graphics are great! Gameplay is fun. I enjoy it a lot!! However, ads in this game are a little bit annoying. They pop up every 10 seconds and you have to watch a lot of ads to get items. Therefore, I decided to buy ads removal pack at $9.99. I thought it was a pretty good deal. However, the pack didn’t remove any ads. I still had to watch a lot of ads during the stage and to get items. So, I contacted the developer through e-mail to ask them about it. They responded that it might be some issues. So, they suggested to “restore purchases”. I pressed the button and the character I got from the pack was gone. I asked them about it and if I could get a refund. They said I couldn’t get a refund. So, I asked them if I could at least get a character back. They’ve ignoring me since. This kinda ruined the fun of this game for me. So, I would recommend not to buy a “remove ads” pack!!!! P.S. I found out that this game has forced ads and ads to get items. So, you have to have a skipped ticket to skip the ads but even though you have a skipped ticket, you still have to watch some ads during the game at some points :(((((((( ### 2/5 — Good but riddled with bugs *2023-07-09, version 1.6* Frustrating to say the least is to have a very entertaining and fun game but plagued by hundreds of bugs at every step of it. From ads that still load after payment or fail to load completely while you are in the middle of the action forcing to reset the whole game, to the fact that the bosses kill you while you are choosing the next improvement gained. I was forced to delete it. Absolutely infuriating. ### 1/5 — full copyright of survive.io *2023-06-23, version 1.5.1* this is not a game, this is just a copy of a normal game :) ### 1/5 — Serious *2023-06-18, version 1.5.1* Ads block you from returning to game. I’ve had to shut down and restart the game twice within one minute of starting the game. Can’t even play it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs full purchase option *2024-12-15, version 1.8.8* Would be nice if you could purchase the whole game for 10 or 15 dollars. Also, the month pass is misleading. Are we just getting those perks for a month? ### 1/5 — Complete waste of time *2024-09-29, version 1.8.5* Don’t believe the fake reviews!!! This game is awful. It has the potential of being a great game but every 30-45 seconds of gameplay you have to choose between spending cash or watching a bunch of ads. It’s more watching ads than playing the game. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME! ### 1/5 — Fake one *2024-05-16, version 1.8.2* All the ad ### 1/5 — This is a pay game, period. *2024-05-05, version 1.8.2* The ads are so obnoxious- you get bullied into buying ad-free or you have to quit the game because you’re sitting through ads every 3 seconds. I’m outta here. ### 1/5 — Immediate Ad-wall / Pay-wall *2024-04-30, version 1.8.2* Potential is there for a better rating .. IF forced ads were removed by developers. ((Which would never happen .. making this game TRASH)) ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2024-03-19, version 1.8.2* Everything requires you to watch an ad. During game play there are forced ads. Ruins the game play honestly. ### 1/5 — Another game ruined by gdpr *2024-03-19, version 1.8.2* Their policies state they will automatically collect and sell data on you in perpetuity even after you delete the game until you no longer serve a purpose unless you opt out, and then make it extremely difficult to opt out. Its right there in the terms and conditions. I didn’t even make it to game play because of these awful terms ### 1/5 — Great game, but hate hate hate ads *2024-01-04, version 1.6* Have to set through ads if you want awards. I would rather pay up front than watch ads for game rewards, I mean why do you play the game for? I understand you can pay for removing forced ads but not ads for doing well in the game. ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2023-11-07, version 1.6* There’s an option to pay to remove forced ads , but other ad options apparently persist. Mobile games are all just trash. Don’t waste your time. The graphics are ugly and the gameplay stale and copied. Just go spend $5 on a PC survivor game. I’m personally loving Brotato at the moment. ### 1/5 — Is this a game? Or an ad player? *2023-09-25, version 1.6* I only see endless advertisements. In one game session, I am forced to watch advertisements 2-3 times in 15 minutes. Each advertisement lasts from 15 to 40 seconds. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Goofy game *2023-12-24, version 1.6* I just got chased by a snail. If you don’t find that funny, then this is not the game for you. ### 5/5 — Good times *2023-11-08, version 1.6* Not bad kinda fun ### 5/5 — 15 minute limit stinks *2023-10-07, version 1.6* Ok, loving the game with an exception. You work and work to upgrade and finally you are kicking butt and whoops that’s it you hit 15 minutes and it ends. Come on developers. You should let us continue if you want just for fun. Have it set where the level ends at 15 minutes if you must but let the player just continue in a fun mode or something or even make us watch another ad for an extra 5 minutes or something ### 5/5 — Hi *2023-09-20, version 1.6* This game looks good I hope you will be supper sicsesfull🤩💵💵💰 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-09-10, version 1.6* Best game ever ### 5/5 — The Last WOMAN standing *2023-07-14, version 1.6* So, I downloaded this game about a week ago and haven’t been off since! The upgrades during battle, the cool graphics, the monsters, the team you creat… it’s all cool, and the upgrades don’t even require a gazillion coins OR REAL MONEY! It does increase as you upgrade, but that’s normal.. it’s nothing crazy. Very cool and fun game to pass the time! ### 5/5 — Same as zombie wave *2023-05-26, version 1.5.1* Same but different. ### 5/5 — ULTRA COOL *2023-04-17, version 1.5* Loads of fun if you just want to mess around or if you want to fully get into it. It great I recommend it to everyone 😃 ### 5/5 — Silly characters *2023-04-14, version 1.4* I like the silly characters ### 5/5 — 😈💪🏾😎 *2023-04-12, version 1.4* WWWWWWWW YES SIR --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
