### 2/5 — Fun but slow

*2025-12-04*

I feel like I'm grinding like all the "bag of gems" games, but instead its just too slow. Also the interface is terrible and there is minimal information and tutorials. Overall could be decent with some polish but going to recommend a Not Buy on this one.

### 3/5 — Ability to bring more squadmates in safeteam

*2025-02-01, version 1.3.964*

Some of the mission, requires like a whole lot of manpower, and even if there’s like tanks or APCs, it’s like not enough cause there’s like four guys fighting thousands of zombies in one mission, and it can like take hours of even longer just to finish that one mission, and imagine more mission with thousands or even more zombies, please add like an upgrade or something so we can have like more squadmates for safeteam, the game needs better ai too cause the squadmates keeps on running onto obstacles that’s easily avoidable by moving around it

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2024-03-17*

Used to love this game.  Had it on iPhone and decided to reinstall but on iPad instead of phone. App Store is trying to charge me for it.  Already paid, not willing to pay a 2nd time .

### 4/5 — Please update!!!!!

*2022-09-07*

Please needs a update

### 3/5 — Ideas

*2022-05-01*

Let me start this off by saying it’s a great game and I love it.  The only downfall that I have is there’s no way to earn top dollar like 5 million in game currency to buy the nuke bomber . You have to rely on the tanks or the other vehicles with 30mm cannons which are slow and when you got 60,000 zombie on one map with 4 soldiers it’s very time consuming just clicking everywhere trying not to get eaten and takes you about 4-5 hours. Other than that great game. If you guys can come up with a new update to add a way to earn money more easier by beating level mission etc definitely a great idea but until then I give it a 3 star

### 2/5 — It’s a great game but MY GOD…

*2022-01-02*

The rebels are WAAAY to powerful. A single one can wipe out my entire squad. Kind of makes rebel missions impossible to win. Other than that, it’s one of the best games on the App Store.

### 3/5 — 한국어 업데이트

*2020-11-11, version 1.3.964*

한국어 업데이트는 안되나요? 영어를 못해서 게임하는게 힘듭니다. 한국어 번역해주시면 한국에서도 인기있는 게임이 될것같아요

### 3/5 — Terrible controls. You get your moneys worth /w resets.

*2020-07-18*

Don’t let your Marines die. the games save function is horrendous. I’ve lost saves with over 10k zombie kills because of the save UI alone. Terrible lobbying, idk where I’m at when I’m playing a game, because it seems to kick me from games when I’m in the middle of the mission, but I’m chalking that up to the bad save UI and my fat fingers.

### 5/5 — Still an awesome game!

*2020-07-10*

Just a brief updated review to say this game is still awesome!

Ive had this game since it was first released and it amazes me how the game is still getting updates. Worth the asking price. 👍🏾

### 5/5 — I love this game. Worth every penny!

*2020-06-25*

Keep it the same just add lil details. Like more guns & add an extra person. Fantastic game

### 5/5 — Great! But,

*2020-06-09*

It’s a great game! I’d love a sandbox mode or something though, to really have fun with all the weapons and stuff

### 4/5 — Game needs....

*2020-04-30, version 1.3.91*

Great game but it needs extras....
1) Daily rewards would be nice for logging in.
2) A store to purchase items would be helpful and make the game easier.
3) Being able to buy 2x the coin. To earn 2x after missions.
4) Make a Commander of the Ark, better the commander equals better recruits, better marines / deals with other countries.

Thank you

### 5/5 — Switch port

*2020-04-25*

Been following this game for years, and as an developer myself I feel confident a Switch port would be a huge success.
Please let us know if it’s possible, and if not would you mind if I make a shameless clone?

### 5/5 — 좋은 게임이 잊히는게 아쉬워 남깁니다.

*2020-03-13, version 1.3.90*

외계인 대신 좀비를 막아내는 Z-COM같은 게임입니다.
요원들을 훈련시키고 각 국과 협약을 맺어 신무기를 연구하여 좀비들을 때려잡는 게임입니다.
전진 기지, 항공기, 헬기, 전차 등 각종 탈 것들이 구현되어 있으며 사이가 나쁜 국가 및 반군들을 진압하는 미션도 있습니다. 
요원들은 smg, 소총, rpg, 저격총, 도검, 개틀링건 같은 각종 무장을 가지고 투입되는데, 협약국에 따라 다양한 변종들을 제공하기도 합니다. 
X-COM과 같은 게임을 좋아하시고 그걸 실시간으로 플레이하고 싶으신 분들께 딱입니다.

아래에서 버그라고 부르는건 타 국 요원을 특정 레벨까지 키워주고 돈을 받는 미션을 작성자가 영어를 모르는 탓에 버그라고 부르는 것이니 신경쓰시지 않으셔도 됩니다.

### 5/5 — please!

*2020-02-25, version 1.3.82*

I need japanese language

### 4/5 — Good game

*2020-01-03*

I like the game even though I was looking forward for a sandbox mode

### 4/5 — Cheatz

*2019-11-07, version 1.3.77*

Add a money cheat lol I just wanna nuke everything

### 5/5 — Gioco bellissimo ma da sistemare

*2019-10-21, version 1.3.77*

Sono anni ormai che ho questo gioco e mi piace ogni tanto rigiocarlo ma per favore sistemate per iPad Pro 2018 che parte dell’interfaccia é tagliata

### 5/5 — Update

*2019-10-16*

Need more stuff it’s getting old quick for 3$

### 4/5 — Bon jeu

*2019-08-20*

Les graphismes sont bons, le gameplay proposé est long, il n y a pas de bug. Il y a 2 problèmes : le premier est celui de la langue. En effet, une traduction en français est proposé mais c est que du mot à mot. Du coup les phrases ne veulent pas toujours avoir le même sens. Le deuxième est la répétition des missions. Plusieurs types de mission sont proposées mais ce n est pas assez. Résultat ça devient répétitif. En conclusion, je recommande ce jeu

### 1/5 — Does not work with iPhone X!

*2017-12-24*

Extremely disappointing. During gameplay the toolbars (top and bottom of screen) are partially cut off. This is clearly limiting functionality of the game. No warning that this isn’t compatible with the X! Very annoyed considering I paid for this useless app. Don’t waste your money like I just did!

### 1/5 — Boring bad game

*2016-07-10, version 1.2.876*

Boring, hard to control

### 1/5 — Game with potential

*2014-10-12, version 1.1.81*

Game had potential but there are lots of issues with user interface

### 1/5 — UPDATE PLEASE

*2014-06-27, version 1.1.81*

Update please!!!

Still won't load after a few mission it goes blink black screen and won't load at all!!!

### 1/5 — Однообразно и уныло

*2014-06-17*

Очень однообразные миссии и игра в целом.

### 1/5 — Was good

*2014-06-07, version 1.1.8*

I use to love this game....use to. As with most app that get ruined, this one was ruined by the alteration with the night vision. It use to be unlimited, which only makes sense. No one is going to send in a team of expensive highly trained soldiers with night vision that last a few seconds.

### 1/5 — 楽しいけど

*2014-03-02, version 1.1.6*

急にアプリがフリーズして出来なくなった。また削除して最初からって…残念

### 1/5 — NO, NO E NO!

*2014-02-12, version 1.1.5*

Un aggiornamento "inutile": adesso lagga talmente tanto che ci mette UN MINUTO E MEZZO (cronometrato) solo per caricare la mappa della missione, per poi non mostrare nemmeno l'elicottero (del quale resta solo il rumore in sottofondo). Risultato? ANCORA INGIOCABILE!!! Per favore, nel prossimo -spero disponibile a breve- update evitate simili passi falsi...

### 1/5 — Good and bad

*2014-01-19, version 1.1.4*

The good thing is that the concept is good the bad thing is that it keep crashing and I paid money for this game I mean why would I pay money for a game which keep crashing its cause I didn't know it would crash. Even after updates the game doesn't crash but wouldn't let me move my squad it's screen just freeze while the zombie move and squad did not fire

### 1/5 — Bug

*2014-01-03*

Réussi à le lancer qu'une seule fois, désormais écran noir a chaque fois ...

### 5/5 — This game was so good

*2025-09-02*

This game was so much better then I thought it was going to be, its definitely worth the money and I would like to more features in the future, maybe a sandbox feature or a feature where you can build your own maps and play them or release them onto a community page for others to play, devs if your reading this, keep up the great work and I hope to see more in the future

### 5/5 — D

*2024-04-07*

How do you purchase nukes?

### 5/5 — Vorschlag.

*2022-05-04, version 1.3.964*

Unter Einstellung / cheat Knopf einbauen ( Effekt : unendlich Goldbarren und Geldmittel ) Gott Modus .

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-04-23*

This game was awesome but need new adjustments for later devices like iPad Pro because I am having an issue where the Menu bar is halfway above the bottom so it is unplayable for me on iPad so hoping it will be getting rid of

### 5/5 — update?

*2022-03-29*

want know this

### 5/5 — Despite a couple of nitpicks this is one of the best IOS games available

*2021-12-24*

It’s incredibly fun and engaging and the lack of needing to be online means I’m basically always playing it for hours every day, even leaving my phone on overnight for clear outbreak missions. I love the tactical aspect of managing a worldwide outbreak and the individual missions are very fun. The fact you can reload and restart missions whenever you want is very nice as it essentially lets you choose how hard you want the game to be. I for one don’t like failure so I like being able to reload a save when I mess up and someone gets infected. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys phone games or zombie games. However, I have a few nitpicks:

1. The AI is incredibly dumb. They’re smart at times, when the rebels are dodging hordes of zombies it’s rather impressive, but more often than not it’s bad. Safe soldiers standing completely still as a horde of zombies rushes towards them, getting stuck on vehicles, VIPs having a death wish, etc.

2. The bunkers don’t have enough in them. If you’ve done one bunker you’ve basically done them all. Besides Dore bars, survivalists, and the vehicles, there’s no reason to go in them really. Some hidden research or something that you can’t find normally would make them worthwhile. 

3. Rare weapons like the flamethrower and survivalist weapons can’t be reproduced or stored which is lame. If I want to give a soldier with a flamethrower an M4 for the mission there’s no reason the flamethrower should dematerialize. 

4.  Getting new weapons from countries doesn’t really work. It works for everything else like buying vehicles but not weapons. It’s bugged.

5. Not nearly enough research projects available. 

6. Not enough control of your units. 

7. Some more mission types would be fantastic. Maybe espionage missions as jobs for other countries where you fight into an embassy to steal a document. Something like that. 

8. Constant Text to speech is very obnoxious. 

9.  Better uniforms for the safe soldiers. Maybe an option to give them cool masks or something.

10. One day I opened the game and my save was gone. There was no reason for it. My save was just gone. Which sucked a lot.

Besides all that it’s still incredibly fun and I have to recommend it for that. But it could just use some work.

### 5/5 — ぜひ読んで欲しい

*2021-09-18, version 1.3.964*

I want you to be able to dispatch many units.         (より多くの部隊を派遣できるようにしてほしい）

### 5/5 — lange nach so einem spiel gesucht

*2021-06-25, version 1.3.964*

das spiel ist einfach nur klasse sehr viel strategie und diplomatie vertreten außerdem falls diplomatie nicht reicht dann gewaltsam geht auch

### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable Game

*2021-03-06*

Honestly its one of the most fun zombie games I have played on mobile. You are able to put down soldiers and control them from like a birds eye view while doing various missions.

If you have played games like this you will enjoy it It is really fun!!! Well worth the price

Here are some things that I would like to suggest for future updates 

- Chinook cant be used on FOB so while you may have 1 chinook and 2 black hawks you only get to use 2 per in game day it would be nice to be able  to use all 3 (and perhaps 2 more in future per FOB)

-The KC-130s rarely get used I would like to suggest then being used to transfer soldiers between FOBs and ARK that would be very useful and it could have a similar range on the map as the Cruise Missiles and AirFighters. Perhaps using them for transport of equipment tanks and missiles would be nice as well and would give them greater utility (it would allow for greater use of missiles and other fun equipment at FOBs as currently its limited to 12 missiles) or larger more expensive aircraft like a Globe-master or C-5 galaxy could be added for this purpose. 

- I dont know if this issue is just for mobile but I was not able to trigger the syndicate event I would also like to see some larger campaign missions (story wise) the underground bases were super fun and would like to see more of that. Along the same lines it would be nice to have some more map variation and perhaps larger maps if you switch dev engines which I would support. 

- Larger maps would be super cool if you switch dev engines and this could perhaps give way to greater utilization of tanks and other equipment so long as they maintain the same “pace” of the maps we currently have cause I like the intensity of fighting of the waves of zombies and that is something that should remain. Perhaps the larger maps could be some sort of campaign of war against countries or some sort of story thing. 

-As for switching dev engines I would definitely support as sad as it may be losing my progress I would gladly do so if it means you guys can continue to make the game even better.

Overall I loved the game. You guys made something remarkable and I hope you guys continue it it was super fun playing.

(Also if I could get more control over stealth missions that would make the rebel missions and nuke missions enjoying as currently stealth is difficult as the marines don’t shoot when you want them to and do when you don't)

### 5/5 — Greatness

*2020-09-13, version 1.3.964*

Honestly bought this game a while back way before the updates started rolling out and honestly I’m much more impressed with how far the game as come. By far my top pic for a pandemic/ strategy game, the only thing I could ask is being able to deploy 2 safe teams for each mission for a more tactical feel but other than that keep up the good work 👍👍
