Unplayable

Can’t be played passed the hound showing up. Game freezes and moves are locked.

Zombicide in your phone

This game is almost like a complete adaptation of Zombicide (the board game) even down to the weapons and some of the missions. Really well done and very fun with a good level of difficulty.

Very fun

Great game and strategic. But it’s become buggy enough to nearly be unplayable.

Decent Turn-Based Strategy

Sunk about 24hrs into this to unlock everything. A little anticlimactic because by the time all the characters alternative skills are unlocked, you've gotten used to playing with the defaults. I expect I'll replay, but it seems like the the locked items/features were just a way to hobble the characters and add difficulty to extend gameplay; locked features in place of creativity and better game design. Basically you end up traversing the board from one side to the other leveling up your inventory --- that describes every variation. The game got stuck in the dice roll animation (I guess they're using real physics, but their math is bad and sometimes a die lands on an edge) at least 4 times. It also crashed the first time I played the Scientist Escort version: after everyone got to the exit, the board was still animated but there were no UI elements.

Still fun, and wish there were more games like this because it's very well suited to playing on a tablet.

Bug Report

Can’t finish the scientist mission. I get scientist to the exit and then get all my heroes on he exit and then it freezes and locks up
I have encountered another bug on the classic mission in large map. I kill the boss but there are no more places to search, no more anchors, and no exit.

UNPLAYABLE- do not bother.

Would be great if it worked. It’s the game Zombicide but without all the hassle of setting up a board game. But it’s UNPLAYABLE, one level works and then it bugs out every game the second an enemy named the hound spawns. Looks like it hasn’t been updated in 2 years, so it’s a dead game and this will never be fixed. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

Fun, Beautiful, but…

The art is excellent. Concept is compelling. Game design well balanced. But the programmer is making buggy code. Stuttering animation even on a fast pro iPad. Crackling sound. Crashes on occasion. Healing actions available when no one is hurt. Phantom or misplaced clue symbols. I’ve had to abandon a game that wasn’t behaving properly. I enjoy playing this, but the bugs can be killjoys.

U don’t get this game

What should I do with the hounds

Fun but borderline unplayable

I can’t say much about the mechanics or how it plays other than it seems fun and interesting, but it constantly crashes and freezes and renders mechanics unusable. The local co-op, which is why I wanted to play it, is absolutely unplayable. The turns are timed at a ridiculously short 30 seconds, you can barely see what the other person is doing, and what the other player does usually doesn’t affect anything on your screen, so if they kill a monster it often makes it unkillable on your screen but it can still attack you, or if they unlock the exit it won’t appear on your screen. Or any one of a million problems that appear. Genuinely, I would really love this game if only I could play it, just fix at least the game-breaking bugs.

Buggy

It keeps bugging out. There’s nothing to press, you can’t attack or end turn, all you can do is move the screen.

buggy but fun

that’s why i was frustrated enough to leave a review. sometimes you can’t do search or attack or move when you clearly should be able to

I like the concept

He likes the concept. Me want dev’s make more content. Me give 5 stars to make dev’s happy. Happy dev’s make more content. Me smart

Zombiecide Rip off

For a zombiecide rip off it is half way there. I am finding it annoying that there is no information on the monsters. I cant attack hounds or shamblers with any of the weapons I have found so far. There is no indication that they are immune to low level damage. At least in Zombiecide the weapon damage of 2 let you kill Fattys - which are the same as the shamblers. Runners are hounds. Etc. the game has copied zombicide closely except for the part that makes it playable.

So much potential - buggy!

I really like this game and would love to play it more, but the bugs are making it unplayable. In particular, there is a bug where I can’t attack The Hound in any position. Very frustrating and game breaking. Please fix! I’d love to play more.

Crashes

This game is fun but it crashes a lot. I struggle to play more than one game at a time because it’ll just start glitching and no longer allow me to make any moves or do anything except skip my turns. Likely won’t be playing again after this.

I love this game

I really enjoy this game. I love finding items. As you play you get to unlock different items and there are different level of difficulty to play. So quite a bit of content… my only complaint is that I have done all that, and even though replaying the boards is still entertaining, there are only so many times you can play the same games over. I’m hoping for an Otherside 2, pretty please?

Brilliant

Unsure if you individuals past reviews are visible anywhere or not, but I very rarely (if ever) leave reviews.

This game, however, needs it! The reviews so far don’t paint a fair picture, with most that I can see being 2+ years old?!

A few quick notes, there are not only four characters, there are harder monsters, there’s a full rulebook that has EVERYTHING and is simple to navigate and read.

It’s absolutely brilliant and I’ve already sunk many hours in. I want more of this type of app available tbh lol.

My ONE qualm is the camera controls are a little bit finicky, manageable but could be improved and it makes me put one less star because the camera angles can be a little annoying at times to see where characters are in relation to one another etc.

BUT don’t let that one qualm or previous (old) reviews put you off, this is a great game if you’re into board game style, dice, D&D, rpg, horror-ish, fantasy… the list just goes on tbf. Give it a try!

Do NOT Skip

If you’re like me, you are barely considering trying this game because the star rating doesn’t bode well. Trust me. DON’T MISS IT.

The reduced star rating is because there are bugs. It’s true—there are. They don’t break the game, and they don’t’ happen often, but they’re frustrating when they show up.

But I’m still rating this five stars because this is one of the most unique and interesting games on the App Store. Developers should make more games like this, and I’d love to see this one expanded. You really won’t find anything else quite like it, and it’s well worth a few minor frustrations to get to enjoy this one-of-a-kind, turn-based, edge-of-your-seat board game!

Too glitchy

Great game, good graphics and gameplay but it often glitches, the exit won’t appear or the game doesn’t end on getting everyone to the exit

Was very excited, but it’s glitchy

Randomly throughout the game on a local co-op my screen will freeze and I will not be allowed to make actions and my menu will disappear while my timer just runs out. This has killed me in the game several times already.
