I still play Undead World because after a year I feel it’s not another money grab. The amount of in game currency that is rewarded/earned regularly is fair and other games should follow this system. I also like the price of buying anything with real money is so insanely expensive I just don’t even consider so imo top tier or the genre. ### 5/5 — One of my mobile favorite games EVER *2023-02-16, version 1.26.0* I tend not to write reviews, but this games needs the love. This game have variety, doesn’t beat you over the head with ads, gems comes generously just by doing basic tasks, and the hero’s actually look and feel unique. I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and it’s become a daily thing. This game is awesome! ### 2/5 — Kind of Boring *2023-01-14, version 1.24.10* I’ve been playing this game for a couple days now and I already found it boring. I know it sounds biased but I have my reasons. First is the character designs. I’m not sure if they were going for pretty much regular people but if they were they hit the nail on the head. I never really felt an excitement to do 10 draws in the gacha part because none of the character designs really stuck out to me and they’re all pretty plain looking. I didn’t see anyone that looked like they really had a backstory based on their design. The next thing is the visuals. The home/front page isn’t very fun to look at and I wish it were easier to navigate. There’s multiple pages you can go to where you can do tasks and get rewards, but it’s not very easy to find them and sometimes I could only find some if I had clicked a different one and went from there. Then there’s the items. I feel like none of the items I was getting were explained during the tutorial and I kept getting tokens which I had no idea what they were used for as well as a few other items. The things I really did like however, were the voice lines of the characters (they all fit very well and aren’t poorly done at all) and the fighting visuals. It’s a bit confusing to watch them fight especially when they move around and there’s a whole mob of zombies, but I enjoyed how it looked all together. **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience while playing Undead World! We appreciate any feedback (positive or negative) and thank you for leaving your thoughts. Even though you had issues, we invite you to check out again as we always have new content or events coming out for our players! ### 5/5 — Loving it so far. *2022-08-06, version 1.18.1* I have to agree with some of the other reviews I’ve seen. The devs are definitely very generous with the gems and their leveling up system is very easy unlike other games I’ve played(Stranger Things:Puzzle Tales). The only complaint I have is regarding the medics for the Blue Banshees and Collegium(Meredith and Lita). I have them both leveled up to “Legendary” class and they are next to useless. Almost all of my teams are at “Legendary” and are able to handle enemies way above their level due to the effectiveness of the medics. If the developers are listening please fix this. **Developer response:** This is what we look for, great feedback and suggestions on how we can improve your experience! Thank you so much for leaving a GREAT review and rating and we hear you. There are updates and improvements coming soon! ### 5/5 — The Best Idle RPG on iOS *2022-07-23, version 1.18.1* I’ve spent a lot of time playing games like this over the years, as F2P and also P2W. So I know how the difference feels. Undead World strikes a good balance. This game is *very generous* with gems, and you can gain VIP points for free too. Fodder heroes cannot be the epics you get from 10 pulls (HUGE plus), and there is a lot of variety in content. Fighting hordes *and* character teams in PVE. Build diversity means something more than “use these 5 meta heroes”. If you’ve played other games like this you get the frustration that comes with devs trying to force you to spend money through rigged systems to make you feel unsatisfied. Undead World just isn’t like that. Everything seems fair. Of course spending is going to speed up the process and if you care about competing in pvp you’re going to need to pay for it - but for a fun, relaxing idle RPG that values your time, I don’t think you are going to find better on the App Store. In fact I know you won’t, because I’ve played almost all of them. **Developer response:** Wow, what a recommendation!!! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!! Our goal is to provide a FUN, EXCITING and UNIQUE experience when you are in our world slaying the undead. From the looks of your kind words, we are off to a good start! ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2022-07-14, version 1.18.1* Hello everyone I play this game regularly I like it but after the game glitched and caused one of my four purchases to not come through I reached out to undead and was called a liar and nothing was resolved totally waste of money and time I’ve put into this game oh well I’ll take my money and time elsewhere Update- I did reach out to the devs and was called a lier she stated I received all items I asked for proof as I was asked the same thing and she sent me a survey as if the problem was resolved still ripped off over here ### 4/5 — Would give it 5 stars but *2022-07-05, version 1.16.4* Please add a way to trade in unused heroes. The highest rarity ones, not the feeder heroes. Not everyone can spend $50 on the chance of getting the hero they want. I get that this is an idle game and whatever you get is what you get but come on man its ridiculous how often I get the same few heroes. I enjoy this game, but it could really use some method of trade ins. I would suggest doing 2, lets say HIVE heroes for 1 HIVE or you can have it random. I dunno, let us have something it would make for better team play and not everyone using the exact same heroes in ranked. ### 4/5 — Great game *2022-06-26, version 1.16.4* I would like to have chances to fight people in PvP I can actually beat though, I have players millions less in power that absolutely destroy me. I don’t care if I hardly get any points, I just want to get my daily missions done without losing because I have nothing I can defeat. The Gungnir and Altered for example are absurdly rare drops. I haven’t gotten a Damon since a little after starting the game months ago, there are brand new characters that I still haven’t gotten, etc. Midtown is absurdly hard. I am winning quite easily one moment, the next I lose a character or two, try to find a revive station, never see it, lose everyone else, please change it back. I’d rather a gauntlet I win than one row that just makes winning feel like a miracle. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and FIVE STAR RATING! We are SUPER happy to hear you are enjoying killing zombies with us. Having a fun and exciting game that is full of possibilities is exactly what we are aiming for!!! ### 5/5 — Get This Game!! My new addiction *2022-05-28, version 1.14.14* I was coming from The Walking Dead: Road To Survival and as a free to play player I just felt like I was abused one too many times. Anyways this game is AMAZING…..it has SO MUCH to do but none of it feels like a chore, I’ll just melt minutes away in my car and it actually helps me RELAX instead of preying on my FOMO…. It’s so easy to pick this up & the game guides you through collecting all of the multiple freebies if you just pay attention to the little !’s everywhere you’ll be pretty good! Lol I’m one week into this and writing this review because this is definitely my new addiction. 5/5 **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience with Undead World! Our developers are excited to hear are players having a good time surviving the zombie menace!

The plus is that the game gives you a lot to work with and a lot of rewards. A down side the purchases are very overpriced for how little a chance you get to even draw a single useful thing so I’m strictly FTP because it’s just not worth nearly what they want for it. So stay away from there In app purchases but the game is totally playable without them. The DEVS also need to chance how the pvp system works, it’s fun but the rewards are so minimal that it’s not worth the effort of bothering with it. They should rework how the latter works honestly and give better rewards for the train but aside from that, it’s a good game. **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry to hear you are having problems with Undead World.
