### 5/5 — You can save everyone

*2022-08-07*

FYI: YES you are able to keep everyone alive. I’ve played this game multiple run throughs keeping everyone alive. It’s possible but requires a lot of strategic moves. I’ve had a lot of characters die as well. Enjoyed this game very much. Ppl complaining about a heavy advantage towards the death ratio.  Just GET GOOD.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2021-09-13*

It seems like many of the reviewers need to accept the reality that you are not going to be able to save everyone. As much as you want to.

Think of it like this::: does Rick get to save everyone in The Walking Dead?

No matter how hard he tries, or how well prepared he is, it’s just a fact that some of his closest friends and confidants are going to die, and it’s a fact that he needed to accept.

It’s a fact that you’re going to have to accept going into this game. If you can, there’s a very good chance that you’ll wind up enjoying this game.

HUGE thank you to the devs for making a fantastic turn based strategy/zombie title. Once I started I didn’t want to play anything else until I completed it. And after that, I wound up reinstalling some older zombie based games that I previously just could not get into and played the bejesus out of them.

Easy-peezy 5 stars from me.

### 5/5 — Brilliant, tough tactics game

*2020-09-05, version 1.4.5*

This is actually a surprisingly excellent, tightly-designed turn-based tactics game, with gameplay kind of somewhere between Advance Wars and Into The Breach. Saving everyone on the default “Intense” difficulty requires some serious strategic thinking and a thorough understanding of the game’s mechanics, especially in the final level. Mechanics are introduced well but not spoon-fed — may not be difficult to miss or misunderstand something and have a bad time.
- Audiovisual presentation is very nice. Story is minimalist but works well.
- The style of difficulty can be oppressive when you end up in a losing position. There is an easier difficulty (which I think you can switch to at any time?) if that’s a problem.
- Be aware that dog and woman only need one food every two days.
- Not a long game. Could definitely have been expanded further. Don’t expect more gameplay on reaching North City. I had my people on starvation rations for no reason.
- In-app purchases are only for Undo coins, and you get a lot for free during the game. I never paid for anything, used Undo quite a bit and had 49 left over at the end. You can always restart the level for free. 
- I used undo when anyone died so not sure what the balance would be like after a permadeath. Without trying it it sounds kind of impossible.
- Don’t forget to use pushing and pulling for a lot of things.
- Some way to know whether you found all the secrets after completing the game would be good. The pharmacist’s license didn’t seem to do anything so not sure if I missed something.

Anyway, very pleasant surprise. Feels more like a [short version of a] classic tactics game than something you expect on mobile.

### 5/5 — good game，you need to think more about every steps and make use of everyone’s ability

*2020-08-23*

Waiting for Wanna Survive 2

### 4/5 — Fun but difficult

*2020-08-18*

Great art, great asymmetric character powers, very fun gameplay. Consider toning down the difficulty of the final level. It took a lot more tries and effort than the rest, and even then, I can’t manage to get no deaths

### 5/5 — Great value

*2020-08-16, version 1.4.0*

Very surprised it’s a mobile game . If you’re on the fence jump over and give it a go. Especially if you’re Into turn based tactics games

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-08-16, version 1.4.0*

This is an amazing game that requires very strategic thinking to win, as well as good resource management. Food is scarce so use it wisely! 

Definitely a must-play for the turn based strategy gamers.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2020-08-15*

I swear to god, I’ll never beat it, the first 3 levels are doable, but after that it starts adding zombies like mad, I can’t even beat the 3rd level without losing somebody to the zombies

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-08-14*

God this game is so good. It checks EVERY single box I had for it going into it. 
I only have one question.. Is it possible to save everyone? I gotta know. I’ve been stuck on this supermarket level for over 24 hours all together because I’m determined to loot everything and save one; am I wasting my time?

### 5/5 — Like living a zombie movie!

*2020-03-29*

Hard game to put down, all the way to the end. Great strategy fix, and filled with procedurally venerated movie moments. Thank you for making a great iOS game!
