I won’t be playing anymore ### 4/5 — ?? *2026-08-14, version 1.27* Won’t let me up grade ### 2/5 — Great game ruined *2026-08-09, version 1.27* Game was great then the update ruined it. Way to many mid level ads and reward system was nerfed. What am I supposed to do with 4000 out of 60 energy. Loved the game but will be deleting ### 3/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-07, version 1.27* Was a great game to pass time. Until the latest update. Now I’m stuck. Im at a high level but the level I’m stuck at has become impossible. Level 134. As soon as the first boss is defeated I am immediately wiped out by the next wave. I don’t know if it’s a bug but after the second boss the next wave is due they all instantly appear at the same time and im wiped out in seconds without a chance to shoot. And unless I pay to upgrade it doesn’t look like I’ll be passing it at all. ### 1/5 — Gets Stale Fast *2026-08-05, version 1.27* Every level in this game is basically a stat check + luck based on what weapons you are randomly given. It’s an endless attempt-level-clear-one-or-two-waves-then-die-until-you-level-up-and-upgrade-your-equipment-enough. No skill involved. You can literally stand still if your stats and gear are good enough. ### 1/5 — New update is trash *2026-08-05, version 1.27* I can’t spend coins to upgrade my levels anymore. Like why would you change that? ### 1/5 — New update is constant adds *2026-08-05, version 1.27* The new update makes it where every 60 seconds when a supply box drops you have watch and add to close the box no choice to get around it. You have to watch 60 seconds of ad for 60 seconds of fame. ### 1/5 — Long, unskippable ads *2026-08-04, version 1.27* 60s plus it’s bad ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you go back after watching ad *2026-08-04, version 1.27* What’s the point of the game if you have to watch an ad when you get a good upgraded weapon, you watch the ad and there’s no exit in site to go back to the game so you have to exit the game reload it and you lose all your progress ### 2/5 — Echo *2026-08-03, version 1.27* Everyone is saying the same thing and they're absolutely RIGHT!! Game was hanging on by a thread, but this last update completed decimated any hopes I had left. Just unbelievably terrible smh. Deleted ### 1/5 — Dumb ads *2026-08-02, version 1.27* Seems like everything 5-10 seconds their is an AD. Horrible, Do not play this garbage ### 1/5 — Terrible Update *2026-08-02, version 1.27* They updated the game last week and made it much more difficult to finish levels and/or earn upgrades without purchasing extra gems, coins, etc. was a 4-5 star game, now it’s 1 star at best. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-08-02, version 1.27* After upgrading first few weapons guns do not do any damage at all. Just die. Tried a few times but same issue on first level, as soon as upgrade nothing hits enemy. ### 1/5 — Deleted *2026-08-02, version 1.27* Deleted. First off. To many ads!!! I have been playing for a while. Level 119. Since the last update, it seems to be not as much fun. Everything seems to not work as good as it did the day before, and by that I mean all of the weapons I have collected or do collect and all of my shots and all of my strategies that have worked good up till now don’t seem to work that good every enemy seems to be harder to play and literally nothing has changed or I should say I have not changed anything. So it looks like it’s time to move on from this game!!!! ### 1/5 — Rewards suck *2026-08-02, version 1.27* Rewards are BS. Change it back to what it was. I have spent a lot of money to upgrade my fighter. It all means nothing now. I will drop this game like a hot brick unless you do something immediately ### 1/5 — New update ruined it all *2026-08-02, version 1.27* Loved the game. New update ruined it. Can’t even kill zombies at level 75 and maxed out equipment. Random hordes appear and can’t be killed either. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrendous Updates *2026-08-17, version 1.27* The game was going great until the devs updated the game and the game is horrendous. I’m stuck on level 67 and I’ve been stuck on that level since the update weeks ago. They’ve made it impossible to beat any level now. The game was great until the updates. It’s bad and I will likely delete this game. ### 1/5 — Update Broke the Game *2026-08-16, version 1.27* Ever since the recent update, this game is trash. You can no longer level appropriately, idle rewards mean nothing, you upgrading gear is impossible without paying. Just garbage. Don’t waste your time getting this game unless they fix this recent version. ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-08-10, version 1.27* Ever since last update it’s impossible to get past level I am at. Totally losing interest in the game. CANT GET PASSED LEVEL 66 ITS IMPOSSIBLE ABOUT READY TO DELETE GAME. . ### 1/5 — New update sucks *2026-08-08, version 1.27* It’s 10 times harder to level up now when you don’t have item drops during gameplay and item drops for patrols are gone. You replaced it with 2 keys. LAME. ### 1/5 — Go back to old format! *2026-08-08, version 1.27* Number 1. The game play looks nothing like the ad. Number 2. The new updated version completely ruined the game. It was fun, now it’s rubbish. I can’t pass any levels anymore, and the game is not fun anymore. I spent a lot of money and now it is a waste. And the rewards structure makes upgrading your kit take way too long. At this rate it will take two months to update grade to red. ### 1/5 — Hero to villain *2026-08-08, version 1.27* This game used to be great but new updates have killed all the fun. Once you reach a certain point you can’t even kill what began as base level zombies, supply drops now contain ads and you can no longer upgrade your heroes. I think Harvey face was right; “You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain.“ ### 1/5 — New update ruined it all *2026-08-07, version 1.27* Loved the game. New update ruined it. Can’t even kill zombies at level 79 and maxed out equipment. Random hordes appear and can’t be killed either. I’ve messaged the company 4 times and no response. The update definitely makes it seem like they are all about money. I’ve been stuck on 79 for over a week now and can’t kill a zombie past 26%. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-08-07, version 1.27* Good game but way to many ads to go through. And when you do they are extremely long and can’t exit out of them. Like seriously get rid of the ads it’s ridiculous and overbearing. ### 1/5 — Since update *2026-08-07, version 1.27* Since the recent update the game does not allow you to update health or damage. It is now impossible to win a world to advance to the next world. You can barely make it to 50 percent progress. Prior to the update the game was really good, now it is almost a waste of time. ### 1/5 — This new update sucks! *2026-08-06, version 1.27* Why absolutely hate this new update with the meat and stupid ish. Why couldn't they leave it alone like it was? Do not download this ish if you want to deal with stupid gameplay. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game isn’t working *2026-08-17, version 1.27* It’s been well over a week of grinding and it only seems like this level is getting harder. I think we need to do a welfare check on the creators because it doesn’t seem like they are able to fix the game. Did they just do an update and forget about following up to see if the update even fixed anything. My gear has been upgraded 9 times now and no change. I’ve leveled up 5 times and can’t even claim the rewards from it. This game use to be fun now it’s just broken. ### 5/5 — EXACTLY LIKE THE ADS *2026-08-07, version 1.27* Love this game exactly like the ads !!! ### 5/5 — Wicked *2026-08-05, version 1.27* I just started playing this game and this game is wicked. I love it. ### 5/5 — Game isn’t working correctly *2026-08-02, version 1.27* Since the new update. I am level 110. It will no longer upgrade my player and after wave 4 it is impossible to kill zombies in campaign mode. Something is wrong. I have reached out to Super team several times ### 5/5 — 暇つぶし *2026-07-25* 無課金でずっとできてバグもなくボケーっとやってます。広告多いって書いてる人いますけど、広告無いです。あるとしたら報酬2倍もらいたいときだけです。 ### 5/5 — いい *2026-07-19* クリアしたステージも出来るようにして欲しい ### 5/5 — No adds but… *2026-07-17, version 1.25* The sound when something hits you is very disturbing but im only one day in to the game so there may be adds but when i grow in the game i will make another review to see if there is adds ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Cool Game! *2026-07-13, version 1.25* Plays like the add! Not bad at all! ### 5/5 — It’s good bro no ads *2026-07-06, version 1.23* Good overall ### 5/5 — ok *2026-07-06, version 1.23* hook --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
