The fighting makes no sense/dosen’t work

Maybe it’s just me but I’ve played this game multiple times over the years and the fighting sequence makes no sense. I’ve played other games of there before and they are a lot easier to do.

Mediocre at best

This game had a good concept: remake the original ZDay. The execution and planning, though, I can’t really vouch for. First off, the original ZDay had a way better “Tank” mode; complete with an M60 as the primary weapon. This game’s “Tank” mode is a complete butchery. It only gives an AA-12 as the best weapon. Second off, content locked behind a paywall; need I say more?

Cash trap

Ai slop sadly

Not the same man

I used to absolutely adore this game, I still have the old version on my iPod and play it occasionally, the original game 6+ years ago was amazing. Even after I found every ending and aspect, I kept playing. The writing was impeccable and the mechanics and combat for what it was, was amazing. Now not only I can no longer play the original on my new phone, I have to pay for each new release rather than one purchase. As much as I loved the old game, I can’t justify not even being able to access any story without paying.

Ambiguity Surrounding In App Purchases

Even after purchasing all available content, there is no instruction on how to unlock all stories.

Shameful Cash Grab

Every single “Tale” except the tutorial and The Stranger Part 1 are paid access, at this point just make the app paid access already. Not to mention, but was the original ZDay removed? Just so they can sell out this dumpster fire more? The game it self even seems cheap, many of the images are AI-GENERATED, hell, are entire chapters of this game made by ChatGPT?

Fun, but broken.

Almost every encounter with zombies, whether you engage or "sneak away" always puts you into combat. You're better off fighting every time.

Miss The Original

I was happy to see a new version made but I miss the original one/two weapon version and the more recent one with the inventory. I still have them but I wish they were updated to have more content. Also, Survivor Z is fun, had it for almost 11 years almost as long as the original ZDay survival simulator.
I do appreciate the updated combat system and the new interface, but I don’t think you can beat the simple and original interface and combat system. Still like the stories though. Good game but miss the classics.

Good revamp of a classic

One question though, are the Prison and Hunting Loge stories completed and supposed to be available? Currently, they seem to be either bugged or flagged as unavailable, because I can’t purchase them to unlock them.

Wow

Bro removed the best game he had and replaced it with a cash grab that asks for your money every three seconds the two story's if you can call it that have no choice nothing interesting and end immediately with literally everything needing a payment to access

The long Awaited Masterpiece

I loved their previous game and have played it for almost 9 years. I Just found out this game came out and it’s awesome! Definitely would recommend. 👍🏽

DLC

Hope more stories get added! Plus can’t purchase all the stories for some reason…

It's amazing

Sure you gotta pay for the content, but it's fine, after all it's a mobile game and it's not dominated by Ads. Genuinely fun to play a few times, and I'm a huge fan of Survivor Z so I'm slightly biased (thus 5 instead of 4 stars).

P.s.
to the first reviewer, and other people who may see this. Paying for actual content is not a big deal, this isn't just a "skin" it's an actual interactive story your buying.

Escape the suburbs has plot holes

I really enjoy this game, and have been playing since 2012. (Yes, I have been here that long.) ‘Ember’ by Oxcart is one of my favorite songs ;) So I hope I don’t come off as a hater, or as too critical, because this and Survivor Z are two of my favorite games of all time! The new version of escape the suburbs, despite being “remastered”, has the same plot holes as the previous version The Hospital First of all, at the hospital, after you save your friend Shaun, I’m sorry, “Kim”, you are given the option to “grab the pipe” or “get moving” “Get moving” will take you to meet the NPC Sally, whereas “grab the pipe” takes you right to the front door? Okay… When interacting with Sally, you learn the front lobby where you started at, has descended into chaos. If you choose “open the door” you will be forced to fight your way out, but if you choose “ask them to join you”, you are just taken right outside without any fight, as if there was no “chaos” in the lobby after all… Personally, I think having to fight your way out as a consequence of taking the time to save your friend is a great story choice, too bad you can easily miss/avoid this part of the story by choosing “grab the pipe” or “ask them to join you”. The Police Department After completing the Police Station dungeon, you are given the option to avoid the Apartments AND checkpoint by taking the back alley behind the police station. However you can’t because this option is broken, and just leaves you talking to the guy who stole the van from the group at the apartment… I think being able to skip the checkpoint/apartment as a reward for completing this dungeon is a great idea. Too bad the game is bugged here! (Which it was in the 2012 version too) The Mall We learn on Dave’s TV that “Martial law is in effect, there is a curfew, and anyone who does not comply will be shot on sight”. But this is contradictory to what we hear on the radio in the convenience store “the army are directing people to an evacuation at the mall”… Which is it? I don’t know. “See my results” Both the original version from 2012, and the previous version of ZDay had the option at the end of the story to “see my results”, where you are graded on Decision making, weapons found, survivors found, items found, and safety found. You should definitely bring this back, as it gives the player a reason to play again, and try and achieve better results. I was able to get “Ultimate Survivor” The two songs from the original 2012 version, “Nationalism anthem” and “Ember” by Oxcart would fit in really well with all the new music added, in my opinion atleast. (I still listen to these songs to this day) TL:DR I enjoy this game a lot, or else I wouldn’t have spent money on it, but these plot holes should be fixed. Thanks for reading!

Great story game but locked content

The dlc and members only stuff is locked behind a paywall that is inaccessible, there is literally no where to buy it so it remains locked. Other than that, everything it’s great

Cash grab

The original had minimal micro transactions but for this one you need to buy literally everything you get a handful of “chapters” then need to buy the rest same with weapons ammo or health don’t waste your time if you’ve played the original.

Good Text Game

More Language,pls.

Great game by great devs

although i wish they kept the original around for download

Loving it so far

Loved Survivor Z with the aspect of a real world apocalypse happening around you with real life scenarios. Hopefully this is something that would be remastered and put into this game. I love the stories aspect however the responses don’t really match up to what’s happening on screen. The survivors also tend to just disappear at the start of combat. Great game for a new release though can’t wait to see what’s to come in the future from it. Would love to see the Faction/Base building aspect as in the old game this was great especially paired with the survivors and the defensive structures.

Good game, one problem

I played the original game and I like it a lot, this game is even better with an updated system but there are a few problems to it. For me the biggest problem is that when I’m playing the game it will at random times close the whole app. I’ve only experienced this problem with this game. Any chapter/story I choose and playing for awhile it will just exit me out the app. It really annoying and it makes me lose my progress. Another problem is there would be a way to save your progress on stories so you can go back and leave where you left off and not just star all over. I’ve also noticed something with the companions, in the original game you could take and give the companions weapons and you could also heal them, I think that feature should be readded. Other then that I like the game very much.
