The Ai would get doubles and triples of brains with each roll but my character would only get one and then get shotgunned. Get the real game. Not worth it even if it’s free or .99. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2025-08-31, version 2.2* Needs a button to fast forward the computers turn. Also the ad for the paid version said play with friends. You can’t do that at all. All the paid version does is add more computer zombies to the game. Hitting new game doesn’t work. It will be the same game you were playing. ### 2/5 — Needs more mechanics *2025-02-23* To preface this review I want to say I love the real dice game! Play a few rounds almost daily with my 8 year old son. However it’s a very simple game with few mechanics and this is where the app falls short. The app is incredibly boring and not engaging. You just tap once and then sit. When you have a simplistic game like this you need to add some fun albeit superfluous mechanics. Dice are fun because you throw them. Watching a zombie hand drop dice is incredibly boring. A simple flip mechanic with your finger to simulate you throwing the dice and the dice animations showing the dice tumbling around more would be a huge improvement. Also animating the icons on the dice. Have the brain be squishy and pulsating, have the shotgun symbol explode outward maybe a little smoke rising from them and show the feet running off the dice. Things like this would make the app a lot more stimulating and engaging. As it stands now it doesn’t hold my attention at all. It needs to feel more like throwing dice and I would love this app. ### 4/5 — Fun, but needs update *2024-07-26, version 2.2* Doesn’t fill iPad mini 6 screen. A bug occasionally starts me with 4 coins instead of none. Could use expansion dice from Horde physical edition too. ### 4/5 — Frustrated with the bugs *2022-02-18* Brilliant game overall, and though I like many things about this digital version such as the zombies voice and the overall simplicity, there are just too many problems to make it worth playing. I even paid for the upgraded version and my achievements are still not unlocking as they should be. Ways to make this more enjoyable would be getting the achievements working (and maybe even add more achievements to give the game some longevity, adding additional statistics to log and track, letting us have more control over the dice (forces a reroll when you don’t score brains which I don't see anywhere in the original rule book), perhaps different zombie skins to play against, and explain somewhere what the Game Center nickname is, how it effects the game, and make it so that it remembers your selection so that you don’t have to reselect it every time. I’m not too savvy with modern tech so I’m sure some of the fault here lies on me, but there is definitely a lot of room for improvement to make it more user friendly and less clunky. Overall, I think this is a really amazing game and I hope it gets the love and attention it deserves. Meanwhile, I will be feasting on the brains from my hardcopy of the game and checking back here for updates. Please don’t overlook the potential of this digital version of a masterpiece dice game!!! ### 2/5 — Fun but... *2020-12-12, version 2.2* Other reviewers are correct, the odds of winning against the machine are not quite right. Also, it would be nice to know which round you are in of the overall game to make choices on how daring you need to be to win. ### 4/5 — Multiplayer whaaaat *2019-07-13, version 2.2* We love Steve Jackson games but wish the developer would support the games we have bought. Can’t use upgraded (1$) multiplayer on additional devices and no updates to any of the dice games in forever (can’t even play Dino dice anymore). Hello Steve Jackson are you there??? P.S. please do munchkin on iPad!!😬👍 ### 4/5 — Braaaaaaaaains *2019-02-15, version 2.2* Cute game. Not a lot of strategy. Roll until you die, or play it safe and eat a few brains at a time. I keep hoping they add in the ‘extras’ available with the physical dice game. Fun way to eat up a few minutes. Watch out for those shotguns! ### 3/5 — Ok way to burn a few minutes sitting in a waiting room. *2019-01-04* I downloaded this a few years back after reading about it in the actual dice version I got (after watching Wil Wheaton’s TableTop episode about it). At first it seemed like a solid app, but then I started noticing all the little bugs. Like the weird odds for rolls. Or the app would crash after a couple games. Or you would have to re-enter your name at the start of every game. Just odd random stuff. After a while of just bearing it I finally had enough and deleted the app. Fast forward a couple years. I don’t have my group of friends to play the actual dice with anymore so I pulled the app out of mothballs to get my fix. Low and behold, it got updated. A lot of those bugs seem to be absent. There is only one name for the zombie opponent now (used to be one of several chosen at random), but it also remembers my name now. The dice animation is smoother, but also a lot slower, dragging down the pace of the game. The odds seem a bit more averaged out. So the game has improved some big things, but it’s hurt its play speed in the process. TLDR: odds are semi-better, game remembers player settings better, not as many crashes, but it plays much slower than it used to. ### 5/5 — So glad they updated for iOS 11! *2018-03-12, version 2.2* My daughter and I really missed this game while it was unplayable. This is one of our favorite time wasters when we’re waiting for something. Can’t wait to eat her brains again! ### 4/5 — Please update to ios 11! *2018-02-20, version 2.1* Fun game. Please update it! ### 5/5 — Any chance of a come back? *2018-01-31, version 2.1* My wife and I love this game, is it ever coming back? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mauvaises statistiques *2026-04-29* Come on les dés sortent beaucoup trop souvent en faveur du cpu vs les probabilités… ### 1/5 — RNG is not very random *2025-07-21, version 2.2* AI rolls brains while player rolls shotguns. Needs to use a better API for RNG. ### 1/5 — Rigged *2021-08-02, version 2.2* This game is rigged sooo bad that you can’t even use it to pass time and have fun. I was 11 and the computer was 3.. he got 7 brains then 6 his next turn while I got 3 shotguns and 4 brains in the 2 turns that he got 13 brains. And that’s how it happens ALL THE TIME. They tried making it harder but they coded it so the computer wins every time. So dumb but I guess I expect nothing less from SJG. ### 1/5 — Play the physical copy. *2021-02-15, version 2.2* Could not enjoy this game, even though I am a huge fan of the physical game. Every round I played, if I had one shotgun and choose to roll again, I would get two shotguns and end my turn. I would then watch the AI score 7 in one turn. I played 7 games. Each game had the same issue. Deleted afterwards. ### 1/5 — RNG is not very random *2020-01-13, version 2.2* AI rolls brains while player rolls shotguns. Needs to use a better API for RNG. ### 1/5 — Problème sur le multi *2019-08-20* Après avoir acheté l'application, on ne peut plus jouer à plusieurs ### 1/5 — Horribly unbalanced *2018-11-10, version 2.2* AI seems to 3 brains in a roll VERY often while get an equal amount of shotguns. Waste of time, just play the real game ### 1/5 — AI cheats *2018-05-03, version 2.2* Don’t expect to win more than one game in ten - AI will simply cheat. Play the actual dice game which is much more entertaining .....and at least you can see the dice being rolled fairly. ### 1/5 — Update Needed *2018-01-01, version 2.1* Cannot play because developer has not updated for iOS 11. ### 1/5 — Purchased the game but can’t play with new ios11 *2017-12-29, version 2.1* Please update the app to work for iOS 11 or please refund me the purchase price of the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool little game *2025-07-17, version 2.2* But I miss the dinosaur game that was made by the same company. Same idea but cuter than the zombie one. Still, one is better than none! ### 5/5 — Топчик *2023-06-17* Единственная настолка которая в цифре бесплатная ### 5/5 — Needs more stats. Change 1 rule! *2022-04-12* There are 2 expansions… Are they ever going to be added into this digital game? I’d play a LOT more if I could see total games played, total won, total lost, win%, loss%, avg score One rule change in this game would make it more strategic; let us CHOOSE which dice to add to the 3 we get to roll. Ex; start game, I might want to CHOOSE 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green. I roll red shotgun, feet for the other yellow and green. I re-roll those 2 dice AND a third that I get to CHOOSE!! (This is how we play the yphysical game). This game should let us choose when appropriate... this would eliminate some RANDOMNESS in this game. Btw, I payed the $.99 and it lets me add more ai players but so far I’ve seen a whole 2 additional animations. Thats kinda LAME. AT LEAST add different graphic-mugshot faces for the different zombie opoonents (ai) that we play against. And GameCenter achievements are registering... the game sees my nickname but the achievements are not happening (i know i’ve achieved them but GC icon does not enable). There can be soooooo much more to this game. As it is, its too random, too basic, not enough stats... what a shame for a digital game. ### 5/5 — Like the physical dice game. *2022-04-03* It’s like playing the physical game. Bummer there are no expansion dice included. Also there is a bug: if you quit a game without finishing it and then start a a new game, the old participants will begin with their old score. ### 5/5 — It’s dope *2020-02-08* My dice version will always be my favourite but it’s a good app for what it tries to be. ### 5/5 — Never played the physical version *2019-09-09, version 2.2* This game seems like a great time passer. It would be very easy to teach and a fun party game as long as you have something else to play alongside it. Definitely considering getting the real thing. ### 5/5 — Please add expansions *2018-07-11, version 2.2* Love it. Same as the physical version. I wish the 2 expansions were added at some point. ### 5/5 — It’s Alive *2018-06-06, version 2.2* I’m very glad that Zombie Dice received an update for the current iOS. Hope to see these updates continue so it stays compatible. This is my favorite little time killin’ dice game. Dead Dave approved. ### 5/5 — Welcome Back *2018-04-11* Played this for awhile last year but stopped due to constant in app warnings on the game not having been updated and would cause my device to slow down. I was disappointed. Lo and behold on a whim I check the game app over the weekend to discover it has been updated for iOS11. Now if they can add the two expansions that would make this game even more fun than before! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2018-03-17, version 2.2* Thank you for the iOS update 🤘🏻 I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
