Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy classic zombie shooters with good graphics and engaging, if sometimes repetitive, gameplay R3R33. It's particularly suited for those who appreciate unique in-game inventions like 'explosion chickens' R2. However, players who are easily frustrated by frequent game crashes, especially when collecting in-game rewards like blueprints, or by a high volume of long, unskippable ads should skip this game R10R40.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily towards negative experiences, primarily due to crashing issues and ads, despite the game's high lifetime rating. The developer's release notes are too vague to assess if the reported issues are addressed. The positive points are often from long-term players expressing general affection for the game, while the negative points are highly specific to recent technical problems.

  1. [R3] 1/5 · US FREAKIN AWESOME! EDITED: OLD: Amazing graphics, easy controls, storyline is awesome and you check out what everybody's talking about in the chat box worldwide! Pure Awesomeness! EDIT: Game desperately needs an offline mode to keep enjoying further. Really afraid of losing my 10 years of progress if servers shutdown.
  2. [R33] 5/5 · US Awesome: Really good action good controls and perfect amazing graphics and so fun.
  3. [R34] 5/5 · US Great zombie shooter: Love this game one of the best shooters next to the glu series games. Miss the old zombie chronicles games
  4. [R2] 5/5 · US Swat riot team: This game is great, but I love the inventions because it just gets ridiculous like the explosion chickens and the turret chickens are just ridiculous. What a good idea to add those in the game thank you developers
  5. [R9] 5/5 · US DEAD TRIGGER3 PLSSS: Hey hello, I just wanted to say that I love this game; I played the first one and this second one and we would be very happy to see a third part of this amazing game, thanks for entertaining us.

  7. [R47] 5/5 · US Continue the story: I love this game and have been playing this and for a while. I wish yall would continue the story
  8. [R5] 2/5 · US Crash: I just started playing, and it crashed right after I logged in. Then it crashed again when I saw a woman driving away. I can't play at all. I hope this bug is fixed soon. · translated
  9. [R10] 1/5 · US Bugs: You need to update There is a bug, shuts down everytime I get blueprints the last few days. Fix please
  10. [R11] 5/5 · US Awesome: I live it so much it’s so fun but it’s been crashing on me randomly. Specifically when I get a blueprint drop, then it just crashes. So sad
  11. [R13] 4/5 · US Crashes: Game runs smooth and I love the game. However I’ve had multiple game crashes ranging from explosions, picking up multiple cash clusters, and blueprints. Very frustrating when you’ve racked up a lot of points about to finish a mission and then have an unexpected crash. I’m on IPhone 16 Pro.
  12. [R40] 3/5 · US Ads are out of control after September 2024 update: Still an all time great game, but playability suffers greatly after recent update. Ads are much longer and don’t close without multiple clicks.
  13. [R46] 3/5 · US Too many ads: I had been enjoying the game for years until the developers decided that popping up a lot of ads after missions is a good idea. And the ads are so long that reopening the game takes less time. It should be more maps, more weapons or missions added, not ads
  14. [R19] 1/5 · US Lost progress: Uninstalled because of a serious crashing issue stopping my progess. Even though I was signed in, when I reinstalled and reopened to see if crash was related to a bad installation, all of my progress was gone. I had every vendor and my tech level 4. Now all of that time and progress is just gone.
  15. [R4] 3/5 · US …: Why can't I open my game?
  16. [R8] 1/5 · US Crash bug: Crashes, garbage game · translated
  17. [R6] 5/5 · US Childhood game fr: Super fun bro
  18. [R27] 5/5 · US Muna Say’s: I freaking love this game,I think I play it more than my P5🤷🏾‍♂️
