Compatible w older devices. DLC characters must be added after creating an account - not ideal - yet the characters did make the game more fun. Too bad there's not another map to continue the story w leveled up characters. I'd pay another $5 for a new map and persistent storyline. ### 4/5 — Pas mal! *2022-09-16* Bravo pour cette application qui rappelle bien le jeu de plateau. Seul bémol, pourquoi ne peut on pas assigner toutes les armes aux différents personnages? ### 3/5 — Ziele verschwinden nach dem Speichern *2022-09-08* Vielleicht könnte man nach Jahren! mal endlich den Fehler beheben, dass die Questziele verschwinden wenn man das gespeicherte Spiel lädt. Weil man so das Level Neustarten muss was lästig ist. Erklärung für den Hersteller: Im Spiel werden z.B. 3 Ziele gezeigt um den Strom wiederherzustellen. Nun speichert man bzw. verlässt das Spiel. An einem anderen Tag startet man das Spiel wieder und wird in das Level geladen wo man zuletzt gespielt hat. Nur dass die Questziele dann nicht mehr auf der Map angezeigt werden! Und das in einem Spiel wo jeder falsche oder unsinnige Weg ernste Konsequenzen haben kann. Man muss dann das Spiel neu starten. Selbst wenn man in die Räume läuft wo das Ziel liegt und vorher angezeigt wurde, kann man dann dort nichts machen. Man muss das Level neu starten. Was nervt und zwar richtig. Bitte beheben dann folgt eine ordentliche Rezension mit 5 Sternen. Weil das Spiel ist top bis auf diesen Fehler. Danke und Grüße ### 4/5 — Bon mais dommage *2022-04-16* Bon jeu mais la difficulté est trop faible. Beaucoup trop faible. Aucun échec de mission. C’est vraiment dommage car le jeu vaut le coup. ### 3/5 — Un très beau potentiel pas totalement exploité *2022-02-07* Le design est soigné et la mécanique du jeu est très efficace. On retrouve l’esprit et la tension du jeu de plateau (même si les règles ont été allégées). Les dialogues et les PNJs entre les missions sont savoureux. Je me suis régalé dans les 3 premières zones (il y a 7 zones avec 5 missions chacune). J’ai réalisé ensuite hélas que chaque mission est identique à la précédente : même décor, même stratégie (1 - je déplace mon équipe, 2 - je nettoie les zombies isolés, 3 - j’ouvre la porte d’un bâtiment, 4 - je nettoie le bâtiment pièce par pièce, 5 - pendant ce temps là, des zombies s’entassent quelque part sur la carte derrière un obstacle, 6 - je le bute tous à mon bourrin, au choix : fin de la mission ou retour à 1 pour un un ou deux cycles). Seul change l’intrigue qui enrobe la mission. Le choix des personnages n’apporte pas grand chose : la classe la plus efficace est celle des bouchers avec un très net avantage pour Josh (invincible avec un double shogoun et des dés supplémentaires obtenus avec les niveaux). Les assassins n’ont rien d’assassins car leurs armes ne sont pas assez puissantes. J’ai acheté tous les personnages « DLC » et le seul qui m’a semblé intéressant est Tiff car elle a beaucoup d’actions et une longue portée (c’est un avis personnel bien sûr). En synthèse, Asmodée Digital a fait un beau travail d’adaptation du jeu de plateau mais le résultat manque de relief sur la longueur. Cela me donne l’impression que le budget a été trop faible pour plus creuser la mécanique de jeu et varier plus les décors et les artifices scénaristiques. ### 3/5 — Why not multiplayer co-op? *2021-12-31, version 1.03* Also, this game does not follow board game LoS rules for alleys inside buildings. The game treats them like indoor locations, so I can’t shoot past one with a rifle ### 2/5 — Slow animations *2021-06-16, version 1.03* Let me know when they add fast/instant animations ### 4/5 — Fun but way too easy *2021-03-31* Good adaptation, but after a few missions it became way too easy. I never bought any characters, but I did sign into asmodee to get one extra character for free. He ended up being by far the most powerful character. Please add more missions, maybe difficulty selection, ability to search in any room, and incorporate more aspects of the board game to make it a little more challenging (eg only certain weapons can kill fatties...etc) Overall nice job; the game was fun ### 4/5 — Excellent adaptation *2021-02-17* Même si c'est pas exactement comme la version plateau, la mécanique est la même. C'est trop bien. Bien choisir quoi améliorer pour être au top. Vous indiquez dans les achats intégrés les nouvelles maps, mais quand pourra-t-on les avoir? J'ai finis le jeu et j'ai encore envie de dégommeriez du zombie. Je le conseille surtout à ceux qui connaissent déjà le jeu car pas de tutoriel ni explications générales du jeu. Une sauvegarde serait l'idéal aussi. Toujours pas la possibilité d'avoir les extensions de ville alors que vous le notez dans l'app store du jeu. Ca fait plus d'un an que j'attends de pouvoir jouer aux bundles? Quand est-ce qu'elles seront dispo? ### 4/5 — Fun - I wish they would release more content, I’d pay! *2021-01-05* I just checked back to see if there was more content yet but no such luck. I played through twice but I am done for now. I would for sure pay for an expansion if they released one. ### 4/5 — Good Game, but Could Be Great! *2020-11-09, version 1.03* I gave Zombicide 4 stars, because it is fun to play, but it has some glaring omissions: [1] Lack of rules and other information. Unlike pretty much every other adaptation of a board game that I’ve played, it has no rule book, and other than a brief tutorial at the beginning, offers very little in the way of info — especially what the icons mean. [2] No options. Other than music and sound effects volume, there is a complete lack of game options, including badly needed options like Auto Zoom on/off and Always Skip Zombie Spawn Animation on/off. There are also quite a few frustrating things about the game (many of which are related to the 2 major omissions I mentioned above) : [1] The way it auto zooms in the map every time you do anything is extremely annoying. I zoom the map out, so I can actually see what’s going on enough to play the game, and then every time I move or attack, or if it changes characters, or ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS, the map zooms back in. I suppose some people may prefer this, but surely there could be an option. [2.1] I can’t figure out what some of the icons mean or how some aspects of the game work. I *think* the exclamation flag beside a weapon means there’s a better weapon available, but sometimes none of the other weapons are as good as the one I have selected (or else having a “better” weapon is pointless, because if they’re not dual-wield, and the “best” weapon for your off-hand is the same type as your main-hand, how does that benefit you?). Likewise, trying to find out which weapons can be upgraded (and how far) is very confusing. A small note in the rules (and actually *having* rules) would fix this. [2.2] I figured out that the background colours show if a weapon is Common or Uncommon, and that an Uncommon weapon of the same level is better, but it wasn’t obvious. And I *think* I’ve sort of figured out if a weapon can be upgraded once or more than once (if the details show a number and a padlock, I think it can be upgraded to that level and some number of levels beyond that, and I think no padlock means the next level is as far as it can be upgraded). Again, having rules would fix this. [2.3] Some of the information is available in strange or limited ways. For example, you can upgrade a weapon from the Character page of the character who is wielding it, but you can’t see whether or not it can be upgraded more than once, without going back to the Weapons section and tapping the weapon there. For some reason, this information is not shown on the weapon card itself and/or the detailed weapon info. Likewise, you can only view the detailed weapon info for equipped weapons on the Character’s page. Why? Putting the “info” icon on the weapon cards wherever they’re displayed (especially when choosing from the list of weapons to equip) would eliminate this problem and make it much easier to decide which weapon to use. Having to equip each weapon in order to see its details is *very* annoying (and unnecessary). [3] This game definitely needs an Options section. In addition to being able to keep the map zoomed out (ie. turn off Auto Zoom), it would be nice if I could always skip the Zombie Spawn Animation, instead of having to click “skip” every single time (and if I don’t do it fast enough, the map scrolls around and I have to try to get it back where I had it). I realise some players probably prefer the current behaviour, which is why I suggest having options for them. It would also be nice to have an Auto Repeat Attack on/off option. Many times I try to scroll the screen after an attack and it rolls the attack dice instead. It would be useful to have an option to prevent that next attack roll from popping up automatically. Another useful option would be Auto Scroll on/off (although Auto Zoom on/off and Always Skip Spawn Animation are *way* more important). I don’t really need to see zombies moving on the other side of the map. I’d much rather move the map around myself, to see what I want to see. There are several other more minor improvements that could be made, but they’re far less important (and this is already a lengthy list), so I won’t go into them here. Zombicide really is a good game, and I have fun playing it (in spite of the annoyances and frustrations), but with a few additions (primarily Rules/info and Options), it could be a great game! ### 3/5 — It’s...OK *2020-07-29* Not great. Not bad. It is a little run through a zombicide story. Once you do the initial missions, you can replay at your current level and gained items. I breeze through it now and it has no challenge. I do it once in a great while for something to do until Zombicide 2nd Edition arrives. If we get more chapters, varying/scaling difficulty, and more interesting missions then my opinion would change. ### 5/5 — Excellente adaptation *2020-06-15* Un sans faute. Tout le plaisir du jeu de plateau est la. Difficulté parfaitement dosée. Ergonomie parfaite. Les adaptations de jeux de plateau sont souvent décevantes mais ici c’est parfait. Un tour de force. Bravo. Vivement de nouvelles missions. ### 2/5 — Asmodee absent *2020-05-23, version 1.03* Does not respond to support requests. ### 3/5 — Fun Port, A Little Buggy *2020-05-11* Fun port of the board game. Mechanics and gui are easy to navigate. I really like the weapon and character leveling system. But the 40 scenarios go by real quick. Would love to buy additional quest lines. The final zone is bugged. Sometimes the game action freezes when you complete an objective. Settings and forfeit buttons continue to work, but can’t navigate the board or choose character actions. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid but can’t play *2026-03-24, version 1.03* Game is fun until the UI freezes. Then you’re done. ### 1/5 — No Longer Supported *2025-10-03, version 1.03* Is this game no longer supported? I’ve tried purchasing the DLCs and bundles but nothing happens other than it took my money and Apple will not refund. I’ve reached out to the devs, but no luck there either to get my money back. Such a shame as this is a really good game. ### 1/5 — Updates needed!!!! *2023-07-23* Need urgent update, new maps, new missions!!! ### 1/5 — NOT the Tabletop Game *2023-02-01, version 1.03* I was with you until “Register an account for this character,” “Pay $2.99 for that character,” “Buy upgrade currency after we’ve strung you along for four levels.” ### 1/5 — Fun, but serious problems! *2021-04-19* I paid the cost for the app and I dashed through all the levels in 4-5 days. Then...nothing. Games over. All you can do is grind to keep upgrading, but the amount you need to upgrade one character could take 2-3 hours of grinding. For what? So you can play the same levels you’ve already mastered? No difficulty levels. Nothing. Then I bought some DLC characters thinking they might open new areas. Nope. Then I decided to start over with one of the DLC characters and the UI freezes after you give Rauol the command to fire on a few zombies in the first level. I loved this game while I was playing it and I love the board game but this version burns out fast and is really buggy. Contacted support, not even a ‘we’ll get back to you soon’ email. ### 1/5 — A much better version than this trash *2020-05-09, version 1.03* Apple Arcade just released an app called The Otherside which takes the Zombicide basic structure and keeps true to it. This game was trash and hopefully I can steer some of you to a better version ### 1/5 — Käufe lassen sich nicht wiederherstellen *2020-04-22* Bump: Leider ist das Problem nach wie vor nicht behoben. In-App-Käufe sind nach Neuinstallation der App für immer verloren. Ich möchte jeden, der Spaß an dem Game und ein paar Euros in die Erweiterungen investiert hat, eindringlich davor warnen, die App zu löschen. Nach dem erneuten Installieren lassen sich die In-App-Käufe nämlich nicht wieder herstellen, sodass dann nur die Basisumfänge verfügbar sind. Support wie auch Entwicklern ist das Problem seit Monaten bekannt. Ein entsprechender Fix leider aber nicht in Sicht. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback! We're deeply sorry about this issue. The team in charge is still working on it. We really hope to see it fixed soon. Please, make sure to keep your game up to date! Best regards, Asmodee Digital Support Team ### 1/5 — Game will not restore purchases. *2020-02-14, version 1.03* Spent over $10 on in app purchases and after buying a new iPad I re-downloaded the game again but would not restore any purchases. Made multiple contact attempts without an answer. ### 1/5 — So disappointing. *2019-11-18* This is a rare miss from Asmodee Digital. Unfortunately this is a completely faithless rendition of the board game. Between the unnecessary hit points of the zombies to the lack of tension in finding a weapon or item, it misses the slow build of doom the board game has and instead replaces it with the videogame-esque combat system in an apparent attempt to not scare away the Xbox generation with board game rules. An unfortunate misstep and I have since deleted it from my iPad which is saying something as I literally own every other Asmodee Digital game ever made. A real missed opportunity to faithfully render a board game that works well already and didn’t need any changes. ### 1/5 — Что? *2019-08-23* ЭТО НЕ НАСТОЛЬНАЯ ИГРА! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Download the game it’s 5 ⭐️ *2025-03-02* I Love the Zombicide games and when i saw they made a mobile one i knew i had to try it… and when i mean it is so accurate to the game it really is, and i can’t say enough how good the game is because Great job to the people who made this great game and you have to get it now‼️ ### 5/5 — Sucked me right in *2024-04-08* I haven’t actually played the physical version of this game. I bought this digital version a while back and enjoyed it. I didn’t think much about it until recently when I opened the app on a whim. Now I find myself sucked right back in, knee deep in the campaign. And I’m having just as much fun as the first time. Great game, great app. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! I need more *2021-09-18, version 1.03* This game is amazing! I absolutely love it. You don’t need to buy the characters, just play smart. I’ve beaten it twice and wish I could start a new (different) campaign! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-06-28* Despite the negative comments, I have really enjoyed playing this and recommend it to anyone just wanting to have relaxed entertainment for an hour or two. The rules are straightforward…kill the zombies….but the strategic choices between the types of zombies and methods of killing them, individuals to be selected and types of weapon used make this an endless challenge. Top marks, keep ‘em coming! ### 5/5 — Fan damn tastic! *2020-12-22* One of my most favourite ports! Brilliant fun and damn hard! Loved it! Please please make some add ons. New missions, etc! Thanks ### 5/5 — Excellenticide! *2020-10-28* Une maj s’il vous plaît! N’abandonnez pas vos jeux!!! Très très bonne adaptation! Très très bon jeu! Merci de ne pas avoir faire un paye to win. On achète, on joue, point. J’entends râler sur le prix des dlc... Je trouve que le jeu de base n’est vraiment pas très cher pour ce qu’il apporte. Je comprends que les dev se rattrape sur les dlc. D’ailleurs si vous pouviez nous développer celui des tortues ninja sorti en physique mais uniquement en pré achat, ce serait le pied pour ceux qui les ont ratés !! ;.) Est ce qu’une maj est prévue? De nouveaux niveaux? ### 5/5 — Atualização *2020-08-19* Meus caros, amo demais esse jogo, quando vão liberar mais missões? ### 5/5 — Une autre campagne? *2020-08-10* Le jeu est vraiment très bien. Ce qu’il manque c’est une nouvelle campagne ou la création d’un niveau aléatoire avec un niveau de difficulté défini. Ce serait parfait, même si c’était payant. ### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel *2020-07-03* Ich finde das Brettspiel Zombicide ein ziemlich gelungenes Spiel und würde es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen ### 5/5 — Encore ! *2020-06-18* Bonne alternative au jeu de plateau avec la possibilité de faire monter les personnages en niveaux. Allez, mettez nous d’autres niveaux, on est impatient ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
