### 5/5 — спасибо, что добавили в апп стор

*2025-03-15*

давно ждал игру в аппсторе, даже успел забыть про нее)

### 5/5 — I’m obsessed please help

*2025-03-14*

I’d love to see SIN or UNISG get added eventually, an awesome game though!

### 5/5 — great game!

*2025-03-04*

Its really fun, some of the perks are not translated though and the devs should add more pistols like the Desert eagle other than that i would recommend this game to any stalker fans.

### 5/5 — Good Stalker Themed Game

*2025-02-13*

After playing for a good bit, and unlocking every faction I find the game to be a pretty enjoyable time waster. It’s pretty cool to fight in and conquer the Zone on my phone. My only complaint would be with the English text as the translations have made some of the sentences and words that pop up during gameplay a bit weird. For example: Duty being referred to as “debt” in the dialogue while playing and the C-Consciousness being the “O-Consciousness” in both the game menu and gameplay. Besides the errors in language translation, it’s pretty good for its current 1.1 version. I’m excited to see how it continues to be develop in the future. Here’s some things I would like to see in the future:

1. A better explained better artifact hunting system and some more useful artifacts in the early game (I hardly ever artifact hunted unless I needed some cash, the boost your squads get from them is hardly anything until the endgame).

2. Another big thing that I’d love to see is an in-depth diplomacy system so you could become allies with neutrals or convince enemies to become neutral more easily by bribing them or being stronger then them. Basically just adding some more interactions with other factions so there’s a reason to use the diplomacy menu.

3. Possibly some campaigns with a story or main goal besides just taking over the Zone (or even just a unique ending depending on the faction you won with). 

Overall this is a pretty good fan-made Stalker mobile game. It has its issues and glitches, but how about we just call those “anomalies” like we stalker fans always do. :)

### 5/5 — Really good

*2025-02-13*

This is a pretty fun game to kill some time

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-02-13*

i was gonna say you should add an option to merge squads and i found it right after, great game.

### 5/5 — I LOVE STALKER‼️

*2025-02-11*

very fun

### 5/5 — Лучшая мобильная игра S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

*2025-02-05*

Хотелось бы некоторых доработок. Например:
1) Общая карта зоны (никаких переходов).
2)Добавить режим А-лайф – симуляция жизни (для своих отрядов тоже). По желанию можно отключить. 
3) Создание сюжетов. 
4) Игра не за группировку, а за одного персонажа. 
5) Настройки под себя. Количество нпс, мутантов и другое.
Пока что на этом всё. Очень нравится игра. Отзыв позже ещё дополню. Надеюсь что-то из списка вас заинтересует.

### 3/5 — Сделайте что нибудь с рекламой

*2025-02-04*

Реклама просто действительно везде, задумка и реализация хорошая, ну правда.
За такое не жалко отдать деньги что бы поиграть с комфортом, но вот эти чертовы ролики даже для сохранения, это совсем через чур.

### 4/5 — Как купить

*2025-02-03*

Как купить вашу игру?
Постоянная реклама надоела
