Recurring themes

Ads negative
Many users report an overwhelming number of ads, appearing frequently when opening menus, maps, or even just moving between areas. Some users who paid to remove ads still encounter them, particularly for fuel or rewards, leading to frustration. The developer's notes mention 'earn gold for free' which often implies watching ads, but doesn't address the core complaint of excessive forced ads.R3R4R16R20
Bugs & Crashes negative
A significant number of recent reviews report frequent game crashes, freezes, and various glitches, especially when progressing to new areas like Springfield or Northtown. Some users cannot even load the game. This contradicts the developer's general claim of the game being 'better than ever'.R6R38R62R65
Fuel System negative
The fuel system is a common point of contention, with users frequently running out of fuel and being forced to watch ads or wait long periods to continue missions. This slows down gameplay and is seen as an artificial barrier to progression.R3R8R20R36
Gameplay & Story positive
Despite the issues, many users praise the game's engaging storyline, fun gameplay, and overall design. It's often described as one of the best mobile zombie games, with good missions, character progression, and an interesting world.R1R5R7R9
Monetization Issues negative
Users report problems with in-app purchases, including items not being delivered after payment, purchases not restoring, and difficulty buying weapons or cars with real money. This leads to a perception of the game being 'pay-to-win' or 'greedy'.R17R29R38R40
Controller Support negative
Several users request controller support, noting that the game would be significantly improved with it, especially given its gameplay style.R22R45R66R68

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy engaging zombie shooter RPGs with a strong story and character progression, and who are willing to tolerate frequent ads, potential bugs, and a restrictive fuel system R1R13R25. It is not for players who dislike constant interruptions from ads, expect seamless performance without crashes, or prefer games with full controller support R16R32R67.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative regarding ads and bugs, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This indicates a potential decline in user experience or an increase in these issues over time, especially since the last update was 7.8 months ago and many reported bugs contradict the general 'better than ever' claim.

  10. [R36] 5/5 · US Make a third game: This game is fun even when your offline i suggest to be able to gas in the shop with silver coins
  11. [R57] 3/5 · GB Amazing! But…..: I love this game, don’t get me wrong I play it all the time and I love the story, the way you can upgrade your character and there’s amazing gameplay! The only issue is I bought the no ads additional content and I still have to watch ads to get more fuel! The whole fuel aspect makes sense but makes the gameplay very slow and as you progress you have to wait 24 hours before you can
  12.

  16. [R32] 3/5 · US Exceptional zombie game except one thing…: The ads man! Aside from the easy to use interface, the gameplay, and zombie killing… not being able to go through my inventory without being bombarded with ads is highly annoying. Unfortunately I have to uninstall due to this but for anyone that’s capable of enduring the advertisements, this is a wonderful game.
  17. [R67] 3/5 · GB Good but needs work: I really like this game probably one of my favourite mobile games I have played but as you get further into the game it’s so buggy I can’t even open the game now that I’m in north town because it crashes if this was fixed it would be 5 star
  18. [R74] 3/5 · GB I love it, BUT!: I really love this game. it’s good fun and keeps you engaged. However, there are massive glitches. Numerous times I have watched a video to get a reward and you , either, don’t get the reward, or, the game closes or crashes. Please address this as this game should rate 5 stars!
  19. [R84] 3/5 · GB Crashes constantly: I am enjoying this game. However it crashes constantly. I now can’t play the Springfield chapter as it’s only runs for 10 secs and then crashes out.
  20. [R99] 3/5 · GB Love it: I love this game but the only down side it seems to crash a lot hope that can be sorted Update I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled and it still crashes I have also changed the graphics etc still crashes can’t get in touch with devs as not on Facebook would be five stars if there were no problems
  21. [R8] 4/5 · US Fuel: The game is very good but I kept running out of fuel
  22. [R20] 4/5 · US amazing game: very very fun and good game. only issue is besides the daily fill it’s nearly impossible to fill up your car early on unless you watch ads. speaking of ads, this game is next to unplayable with the amount of adds. honestly this game should just cost 8$. i get why, nobody would install it but i think this game is way more than worth it, i have a blast playing this game after buying no
  23. [R17] 3/5 · US Cant buy weapons from the shop that cost real money on mobile: When i try to buy a weapon from the shop with real money it wouldn’t let me buy it like when i click on the buy button it doesnt let me buy it and the transaction doesn’t appear i don’t know if its a bug or something
  24. [R40] 4/5 · US Great game, but one bug need to be fixed: Can’t purchase any guns or cars from special offers with real money (can still purchase gold coins for some reason), plz fix it.
  25. [R41] 1/5 · US Dont spend any money!: I played this game a while back and gave it a break. I had uninstalled it and installed a couple other games ( I only keep a couple installed at a time ), they DELETED ALL MY PURCHASES AND PROGRESS! The “ReStOrE PuRcHaSeS” button does NOTHING. Greedy is all I see now when I see ANY games by this developer crew. BE BETTER! Id give ZERO stars if possible.
  26. [R56] 1/5 · GB WASTE OF MONEY!!: I paid 10£ for no ads but because of the lack of gas I have to click on more ads constantly in order to move between missions. And it is ridiculous having to pay with real money for weapons or cars, 10£ each?? So sick of this "free" games. I understand they need financial support but forcing customers to watch ads AND paying real money together is extortion. I would rather pay a
  27. [R22] 1/5 · US Is the author human?: I'm playing with a controller, one stick only controls movement direction, and the other can't even rotate the camera. How am I supposed to play? · translated
  28. [R45] 3/5 · US Remote friendly: Add a remote Bluetooth setting so it can be played with hand held remote
  29. [R66] 4/5 · GB PLEASE ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORT: I’m really impressed with the game so far but please for the love of god add controller support . I’ll rate 5 stars once it’s added :)
  30. [R68] 3/5 · GB This game needs controller support !!!!: This game is one of the amazing mobile games I have ever played it would have been 5 star if it had controller support like some of the others games on here is there any chance it will ever be possible? Thanks for making such a fun game
  31. [R6] 5/5 · US a bug in my save file: the game is very good but my save file glitches out some of voice lines and boss card sound but other than that i like the game very much ngl
  32. [R38] 2/5 · US This is not okay: So the game and everything in the game works kinda, first the game dialogue sometimes just doesn’t work if it does it works for a bit then just starts repeating itself like a broken record, the game also super laggy I don’t know if it’s my phone or this game just has horrible optimization, and every thing you do in this game just gives you an ad you just try to go to the main men
  33. [R39] 5/5 · US Bug: When I bought the superpower from the old man of superpowers for three hundred gold coins, I killed more than ten zombies, but they didn't give me the coins. Please
  34. [R62] 2/5 · GB Game freezes: For some reason this game has started to crash pretty much all the time,it was fine when I first started but all of a sudden the game just freezes up randomly.Really frustrating especially when your on a long mission and it decides to freeze near the end and you have to restart the whole thing.Also when watching some ads the game doesn’t pause and by the time the ads finished I’ve be
  35. [R65] 2/5 · GB Could be Good BUT Major Glitches & Ads: The issue with this game is not only the amount of ads but also that the ads often crash the game OR if they don’t crash it, they don’t give you the reward watching the Ad was supposed to provide. The game itself is good BUT it is almost unplayable due to the buggy Ads and glitchy way they are handled. When will developers start to wake up and move away f
  36. [R7] 5/5 · US Awesome: Best game i have played so far
  37. [R9] 5/5 · US Awesome: Awesome it’s awesome five stars!
  38. [R29] 4/5 · US Very simple and fun although there are some issues.: The game makes it very hard to get new equipment and weapons without playing money, in addition there are too many ads to play consistently. Otherwise very good for a mobile game👨🏿‍🦯‍➡️👩🏿‍🦯💥
