  4. [R35] Zombie Frontier 3 5/5 · US Really good 😎: This game is a game I would play back in my childhood well I am still a kid.

  5. [R1] Zombie Frontier 3 1/5 · US Time eater without much payout: This is just another one of those games that if you don’t waste real money on their perks it’ll be a long miserable experience that’s not worth the time. If you buy the stuff then it becomes too easy which defeats the purpose. The stats on the weapons are also inaccurate. Who would have thought that a UMP does more damage than an AK? The ads are the worst ever. Afte

  11. [R67] Zombie Frontier 4 4/5 · US Game Crashes After Ads: UPDATE - I added two stars since they fixed the game freezing up every time you watched an ad. I used to enjoy this game, but it started freezing up after every advertisement. Like others have said, you end up watching ads and get nothing in return. I reached out to support and they haven't fixed this issue. I guess there's no profit in fixing the one way players can prog

  20. [R36] Zombie Frontier 3 4/5 · US Zombies: The game is really fun it’s just that it controls it for you. I really love the game, what I like most about it is that you have to deal with multiple Zombies at once and it’s SUPER FUN.
