Played since it first came out, but the frequent ads are super annoying ### 2/5 — DON’T PURCHASE ANYTHING YET!!! *2026-08-23, version 9.17* I’ve been trying for 2 days now to just buy a pack but it’s been missable trying to BUY IT! After having it pending for a day I buy something else for a 1$ and the items that were pending immediately got issued to my credit card. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN GAME!!! Restore option doesn’t do anything, trying to buy the same packs again doesn’t even pop up the apples billing information. I had to delete the game after getting to level 43 because I truly didn’t know what else to do and even that didn’t work only reset all my levels and progress. ### 3/5 — Questions *2026-08-22, version 9.17* The top of my screen is an ad that won’t go away I can’t see my name, coins or anything. Is there a way to pay for it to stop? I’d rather do that than have it stuck on my screen. ### 4/5 — So far fun and interesting *2026-08-22, version 9.17* I wish there were more enemy encounters such as bandits also would like to see some side quests that could be completed in like 10 mins I’ve been looking for a banger encounter for like an hour now. But it’s a fun game that passes the time ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-22, version 9.17* Like the game ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-18, version 9.16* Game good ### 2/5 — Tutorial problem *2026-08-18, version 9.16* Would love to play the game. When I go to the trader in the tutorial I don’t know how to get the message to go away. No way to get it to go away. Some advice would help. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-18, version 9.16* Real good addictive game. Not even mad that there’s transactions in it ### 4/5 — Loving *2026-08-17, version 9.16* Super fun ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-17, version 9.16* Prettyy Good ### 5/5 — Vey nice *2026-08-17, version 9.16* (Borat voice) gReaT sUccEss ### 5/5 — Goog dame *2026-08-16, version 9.16* I lik game good yed ### 4/5 — What was looking for *2026-08-16, version 9.16* This is the fallout simulation game I was hinting for. It’s a bit tricky to learn to use, but once you do it’s interesting. ### 2/5 — It would be fun… *2026-08-16, version 9.16* It’s really glitchy and doesn’t work well. ### 5/5 — absolutely fantastic *2026-08-14, version 9.16* I’ve been playing this game for a while now and its fantastic retro style games. Reminds me of Pokémon but the gameplay and mechanics are to perfection however there is one thing, The ad at the top covers some information ### 5/5 — Fire game *2026-08-13, version 9.16* Its a fun game easy but good ### 2/5 — Waited years and still issues *2026-08-12, version 9.16* The clouds aren’t fixed unfortunately I could still not access my saved account and I keep restarting because I tried to link it to an account with you guys and it never goes through and it doesn’t work. I am paying for the premium survival pack and I’m still getting ads which is very frustrating considering what am I paying for and I’m not getting all the perks with it as well. I will as far to try to restore it through Apple and that didn’t work either. I did send an alert to the Company but I have yet to hear anything back. I’m wondering what’s going on and if this game is gonna continue to be broken… ### 5/5 — Addicted !!! *2026-08-12, version 9.16* Love this ! Can’t put it down ! ### 4/5 — Very good game BUT ! *2026-08-11, version 9.15* It’s a very good game , lost of fun , so I decided to buy the game add free but for some reason the ad banner is still up unfortunately. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buying *2026-08-17, version 9.16* Hey so I just paid for 48$ worth of thing and i didn’t get any of it please help devs ### 1/5 — Trash and buggy *2026-08-10, version 9.15* How tf do I lose my gun and bullets by trying to shoot a deer fix your game also the banner ad at the top covering part of the screen doesn’t help ### 1/5 — Made in app purchase and was cheated *2026-08-09, version 9.15* I bought the scavenger specifically to help with loot grinding and to get rid of the ads. Well the ads are gone, but no scavenger. I have received no items from that at all. I tried resetting, restarting, restoring purchases, deleting the app then redownloading, etc. this is massively disappointing. I’ve been playing this game for years, what a huge let down. ### 1/5 — Add right in the way *2026-08-07, version 9.15* There is an add covering up things you need to see to play the game ### 1/5 — Where the heck is it? *2026-07-27, version 9.14* Where the heck is the game? It keeps crashing on startup. ### 1/5 — nice *2026-07-20, version 9.13* good game ### 1/5 — An unfortunate shadow of what it used to be *2026-07-13, version 9.13* This used to be a game I’d recommend to folk that were anti-freemium. Now they want close to $50 a month recurring to enjoy a game that could be worth a 1-time purchase of $20 max. I was a fan from the start and I’m most sad that the game is still currently salvageable and actively rolling in the opposite direction it should. ### 1/5 — Ruined with ads *2026-07-11, version 9.13* Had something good, though admittedly jank and rough around the edges. Then ruined it with so many ads. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2026-07-02, version 9.13* Too many adds:( ### 1/5 — Why? *2026-06-29, version 9.13* To be clear I played this before it became booming and it was fun. I was practically addicted to it for months till I finally stopped. Now that I downloaded it again to play it has ads every five minutes forcing F2P players to buy a 10 dollar in game purchase for the bare minimum and it's honestly disgusting. It has been made so stuff from your camp disappears and gets lost for no reason which is also a bad update and overall the app got downgraded by a whole lot. Just fix it or something it was way better before. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — … *2026-08-24, version 9.18* … ### 5/5 — Good so far! *2026-08-24, version 9.17* It’s good! ### 5/5 — Play this *2026-08-24, version 9.17* Great game for some offline survival ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-23, version 9.17* Good game ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-22, version 9.17* 👍 ### 5/5 — I can’t see my caps *2026-08-22, version 9.17* I love this game and have had it on and off my phone for about a year now I love coming back but recently I’ve noticed the ads cover my vitals,cap,food,thirst,ect at the top sliver of my phone if you could fix this so I’m not guessing my cap amount id appreciate it ### 5/5 — !! *2026-08-22, version 9.17* Very fun game reminds me of a good story game from steam and it’s free ! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-21, version 9.17* Awesome ### 5/5 — Amazing developers *2026-08-21, version 9.17* Helping their community and caring for their game, been playing for a long time and had issues with the in app purchases but they help me through it, thanks very much ### 5/5 — I’m addicted *2026-08-21, version 9.17* I love this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
