I’m still playing because I like the gameplay. ### 2/5 — Wonky controls *2026-08-19, version 2.2.5* Would be fun if it weren’t for absolutely terrible controls. ### 3/5 — Weird leveling mechanics *2026-08-15, version 2.2.5* Fun but it seems every time you start a new level you basically have to start over as far as perks go, I’m not a fan of this but it is a relatively fun game. ### 2/5 — There’s no point to the game *2026-08-10, version 2.2.5* It’s not a very good game the zombies keep coming at you. You can’t kill them all. I don’t like games like that. I wanna be able to kill all the enemies. I don’t like it when the enemies continue to keep spawning. There’s no real sense of accomplishment when games are made that way ### 2/5 — What I’ve noticed *2026-08-02, version 2.2.5* They intentionally make you lose by placing zombies in hard to reach places so you run out of time and can’t progress to upgrade weapons. Clash Royale does the same thing .. good concept though ### 3/5 — Quality okay, still lying mobile game *2026-07-31, version 2.2.5* It’s another mobile game that outright lies in it’s screenshots and ads, demonstrating scum sucking business practices that i refuse to support… that said, unlike most this game is ‘at least’ actually a zombie shooter, a very basic survivors style shooter that mimics a dozen other popular games, but it at least didn’t ‘completely’ lie and and turn out to be another mindless ‘push button to watch number go up’ fake base builder. If they had been honest in their ads and screens, I would’ve given then five stars just to encourage that honesty. But nothing disgusts me more than a bunch of liars treating me like i’m stupid enough to give them my business cause they pinned together a false ad. ### 4/5 — Good but not good *2026-07-28, version 2.2.5* The adds for everything is ridiculous, they take forever to finish and sometimes they don’t even function correctly. Game would be legit if it weren’t for the adds. ### 1/5 — Deleted *2026-07-26, version 2.2.5* Logged in one day and my acct is gone. All my purchases all my progress. Fun game but don’t spend the money ### 5/5 — Pay to play *2026-07-20, version 2.2.5* Everything revolves around money to win or upgrade. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun for about 2 weeks *2026-09-04, version 2.3.1* I really loved this game! My biggest problem is that it feels very rigged once you get to a certain level. I would spend days upon days leveling up only to play the same level 15 times over and still not beat it. My character and weapons were way stronger and yet the exact same level, the zombies are somehow even stronger than when I played it before? I would die sooner even thought my level and weapons were way stronger. Seems so rigged. Not spending money to upgrade. Don’t waste your time and money. ### 1/5 — It’s 100% p2w *2026-08-27, version 2.2.5* Hi everyone ! This is my first time writing a review so I will be very honest This game is 100% p2w Don waste ur time and money. The developers are very greedy ### 1/5 — Fake ads *2026-08-17, version 2.2.5* Nothing like the ads. Not ok. Deleted game. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE GAME *2026-08-16, version 2.2.5* game won’t even start had it open for 12 hrs (i fell asleep) and it didn’t load i close it and reopened it to it saying i need connection ( i have 4 bars and full wifi) not to mention the other reviews on how bad the game is its a pay to play game ### 1/5 — Scam avoid *2026-08-16, version 2.2.5* Most of the game is behind a paywall, I purchased a few things advertised £ was not the price charged and no refunds, ranking up means nothing as over night the power system went out the window with cheaters running free. the developers asked everyone nicely to not cheat tho and that’s as helpful as they get. Items earned in game go missing rewards from events don’t appear disappointing as started off fun. ### 1/5 — How can you expect people to fork out so much $$$ for this game? *2026-08-13, version 2.2.5* $129 for anything upgraded. $69 for diamonds that don’t get you enough for anything? WHAT?! That’s more than ANY console game and it’s for ONE item?! Are you serious? You can’t progress through this game at any reasonable rate without paying money. Each level gets exponentially harder compared to your combat power, without giving you anything for completing a level. You need to put in serious hours OR CONSTANTLY WATCH ADS! ### 1/5 — ⭐☆☆☆☆ Très mauvaise expérience. *2026-08-10, version 2.2.5* Très mauvaise expérience. J’ai effectué un achat dans ce jeu par erreur et j’ai demandé un remboursement directement auprès d’Apple. Apple a accepté et effectué le remboursement. Après cela, mon compte dans le jeu a été bloqué. Je trouve cette pratique injuste : le remboursement a été traité et approuvé par Apple, et pourtant je me retrouve pénalisé avec un compte bloqué. Service client et gestion des achats très décevants. Je déconseille ce jeu tant que ce genre de situation n’est pas géré de manière plus correcte et transparente. ### 1/5 — Not like the Ad *2026-08-09, version 2.2.5* Gameplay not as advertised. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-08-06, version 2.2.5* Just run in circles for 12 minutes and try not to fall asleep ### 1/5 — Wont load *2026-07-31, version 2.2.5* Game doesnt even load. Pathetic. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game, super fun and challenging. *2026-09-04, version 2.3.1* Great game, super fun and challenging. It’s a great way to pass time and challenge yourself. ### 5/5 — :) *2026-08-25, version 2.2.5* Felt like it ### 5/5 — Cool game *2026-08-22, version 2.2.5* Pretty cool game - try your hand at surviving a zombie hoard - upgrades as you go - it’s pretty fun and challenging ### 5/5 — Game *2026-08-21, version 2.2.5* Good fun ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-20, version 2.2.5* Really great game!! Very much recommended! ### 5/5 — Sheppy *2026-08-18, version 2.2.5* Top game ### 5/5 — Un très bon jeu ! *2026-08-03* Je ne suis qu’à la manche 6 mais en vrai le jeu est bien les vagues devienne vraiment de plus en plus dur et les bonus sont originaux en vrai j’aime beaucoup surtout qu’on a la possibilité d’améliorer notre équipement c’est vraiment sympa ! On est pas bombarder de pub mais il y en a quand on veut ouvrir un coffre gratuitement je suppose que sa permet au jeu de ce financer donc c’est pas bien grave tant que les parties ne sont pas interrompu c’est pas dérangent ! ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-02, version 2.2.5* Its a good game ### 5/5 — Great shooter game *2026-07-30, version 2.2.5* Love the game. Daily rewards. Lots of different guns and characters. Plenty of events that change with the seasons. Haven’t stopped playing this for over a year now. Dont think I missed one day I checked in for a long time. ### 5/5 — Best mobile game *2026-07-24, version 2.2.5* A very chill game, with no effort to beat --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
