### 2/5 — Fun but…

*2026-08-24, version 1.23.0*

Fun game overall but you can’t progress without paying a lot of real money. The way it’s set up is so you have to buy the tools necessary to clear the vines 
and/or enemies. It’s a shame too because it could bea really fun game.

### 3/5 — At the mercy of the developers

*2026-07-23, version 1.22.1*

While many complain that the next location isn’t released fast enough, that is actually not a problem for me. Quality takes time and I’d rather the devs continue releasing quality new content as they do now. What drives me crazy is their AI algorithm that is meant to identify cheaters: it is so wide a net that it manages to catch and ban from alliance events the players who are very obviously just above average, and there is no rhyme or reason to it. I got caught in it, too, but after complaining here hot a free out of jail card (for now). A number of my alliance mates are not so lucky and many give up and stop playing because customer support refuses to help despite their promises here after each review

### 4/5 — New location

*2026-07-20, version 1.22.1*

The game is good however there is no more levels after Detroit which I did not know and had just spent money on stuff. Would be good to get a new update with new levels soon to make my purchases worth while

### 3/5 — Good game

*2026-06-23, version 1.21.5*

I enjoy the game. Unfortunately, it crashes all the time. Hope they come out with a fix.

### 3/5 — Fun but…

*2026-06-15, version 1.21.0*

Ok, i love this game however. The valence is not correct for certain enemies. The support claims to me that they carefully calibrate it. That a lie. I am at combat power of 226,000,000 or so. A robot is almost 100,000 less and at 5 levels lower. The robot kills me every time and I annoy advance. I believe they artificially slow down the advance in order to make sure you dont finish too soon so the metrics stay high.

### 4/5 — Ads

*2026-06-10, version 1.21.0*

Love the game, I don’t even mind running out of energy so fast, the very long ads are another thing, I can deal with ads but seriously these are like so freaking long

### 4/5 — Train of hope

*2026-06-09, version 1.21.0*

Great but you have to pay a lot of money to purchase items and to move forward. If you did not purchase any items it will take 10 years to finish the game

### 4/5 — 最近スタミナ最大値が増えました

*2026-06-07*

資源や障害物をスタミナを使い壊して進行するゲームで、最近まで最大スタミナ45、現在100に。

集めた資源で列車を補強し一方通行で街から街へ進んでいきます。
各マップで寄り道イベントがあり、手に入るキャラクターが1人ずつはいるようです。

初期はよくわかっておらず、マップクリアを優先してしまい持っていない寄り道イベントキャラがいますので、始める方は取りこぼしがないよう気をつけてください。

### 1/5 — Crashes continuously

*2026-05-21, version 1.20.1*

Basically unplayable since last update.

### 1/5 — Fix app

*2026-05-21*

So tired of being booted out while trying to play

**Developer response:** We're sorry that you're experiencing constant crashes while playing. We understand how frustrating this can be, and our team is continuing to work on improving the game's stability in future updates.

### 1/5 — Bought no Ads but still forced to watch them

*2026-08-27, version 1.23.0*

When u buy no ads u expect to skip them. Yet instead of skipping for free u are forced to watch at least a 2 minute clip. Game is great but honor the purchases made already. Getting kicked every 2 minutes into the game. Fix the damn bugs already

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2026-08-26, version 1.23.0*

The game could be fun but it is too slow. You run out of energy before you get invested. No challenges that don’t take energy. Tasks that don’t make real sense….it could be a great game but not quite there yet.

### 1/5 — TRICK-BAIT

*2026-08-22, version 1.23.0*

Groups of developers have stolen a game and changed its icons and just duplicated it over and over again. They trick you to think it’s a cool single player game then once you reach a certain level it opens up to mass PvP Cash players killing you unless you SHIELD. SHIELD games are nothing but cash grab wallet warriors dominating the game. These aren’t fun.  And they have mislead everyone in their games and ads . 
TRICK-BAIT
Delete these games and write bad reviews .

### 1/5 — Avoid lack of energy to play

*2026-08-06, version 1.22.5*

You can only play for 15 minutes if you squeak out your minimal supplied energy. This game is all about purchasing products from the app designer. You could easily spend at least $20 a week if not more and still lack energy. AVOID AT ALL COSTS LITERALLY

### 1/5 — I was banned for no reason

*2026-08-05, version 1.22.5*

Despite playing the game normally and only using the available extra energy from ads I was told my progress ‘was not possible without third party tools’ or something like that.  I was banned from participating in alliance events and even though I contacted support twice they didn’t change.  Absolutely terrible customer service. Don’t play this game.

### 1/5 — Полная шляпа

*2026-07-30*

Разработчики просто черти блочат как им вздумается я был лидером альянса эти черты меня кикнули из моего же альянса.чат блочат по пустякам донаты космические в общем полная шляпа на которую я убил полтора года

### 1/5 — Game penalizes players who pay

*2026-07-18, version 1.22.1*

Been playing this game for a long time. Recently 2 alliance players got disqualified for doing the exact thing that their paid extras were meant to do. Now those players are disqualified from ANY events in the game. Their AI is overly sensitive and dings players for the glitchy new update.

### 1/5 — Unreal

*2026-07-11, version 1.21.5*

My account is suspended from doing the depot challenge because I’m too good at the game and I’m leveling too fast. This is the most ridiculous nonsense I’ve ever seen in a game.

### 1/5 — Train of Crashes

*2026-06-23, version 1.21.5*

This game was great for about two months, then they started updates which caused it to crash all the time, especially when you are about to enter fights.  Really wish they could fix this so that I could go back to playing.  I will give it a week, try again and if no fix will stop playing forever.

### 1/5 — Fix app

*2026-06-13, version 1.21.0*

So tired of getting booted out of app every 2 seconds, it’s making it extremely unenjoyable so much so if it’s not fixed soon I am deleting app…… I would not suggest this app to anyone it’ far too annoying getting booted out all the time!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Exciting game

*2026-08-27, version 1.23.0*

Been playing for a while . After getting started, I understood that even though the main scene is running, the best thing is to work the side missions first. It makes it far better to get some of the more powerful hero’s. Love the game and the adventure!

### 5/5 — I love the game

*2026-08-22, version 1.23.0*

I love this game so much. I’ve been playing since day one I only hope of one thing in San Francisco. If you can have Alcatraz in there, I feel like that would complete that level.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-08-02, version 1.22.5*

I rarely find a game that I truly love. This game is really fun. Many RPG a
Post apocalyptic games aren’t as good as this one!

### 5/5 — Solitary Nana

*2026-07-18, version 1.22.1*

I have really enjoyed this game. My only issue has been the game kicking me out. The game also allows me to mute chat. And doesn’t force me to become part of an alliance.

### 5/5 — Классная игра

*2026-06-10*

Спасибо разработчики за классную игру. Первая мобильная игра, в которую я играю так долго и хочу еще! Миссии закончились, жду обновлений. Поэтому вопрос к разработчика. Не могли бы вы добавить возможность переигрывать уже пройденные миссии, пока ждём обновления?

### 5/5 — Relaxing little Point-and-click

*2026-06-07, version 1.20.2*

Intuition interface of clear. attractive graphics.

### 5/5 — happy

*2026-06-02, version 1.20.2*

### 5/5 — Addictive game!

*2026-05-28, version 1.20.1*

I’ve been playing this game for a while and just made it to Mount Rainier. Ready for the next update!!

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2026-05-21, version 1.20.1*

Really good advice

### 5/5 — Trains

*2026-05-19, version 1.20.1*
