  4. [R9] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · US Meh title: Graphics are great but gameplay is Meh. Most of the time you are stationary and not mobile regular FPS
  5. [R6] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · US Controller: Wish it had backbone controller support
  6. [R15] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · US Controller: This game is pretty solid, but would be much more fun and playable with controller support!
  7. [R18] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · US Zombie frontier: Awesome game but would be even better if I could use a controller. Please update so people can use it. Thanks.
  8. [R21] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · US Please add controller capability: Please
  9. [R3] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · US It’s suspender: It’s definitely a money game cost more than most games. I played it for about three years though if you ever need game support, you can hang that up you’re likely not gonna get anywhere with that if they even respond back to you. I would recommend something else. There’s a lot better shooter games out there like maybe “left to survive” it’s not a bad shooter game
  10. [R10] Zombie Frontier 4 1/5 · US Don’t make purchases: I’ve had this game for a long time and made several purchases I had an issue with a recent purchase. Requested help from the software developer, but they didn’t respond. I complained to Apple and received a $3.99 refund. Shortly after that I was blocked from playing the game. I requested answers but never got a reply. I complained to Apple and never heard anything.
  11.

  12. [R40] Zombie Frontier 4 1/5 · US Still unplayable: Cannot get the game to download the update or even play. Horrible
  13. [R1] Zombie Frontier 4 1/5 · US Can’t get to next mission: Game prompts you to equip second gun then prompts purchase and you can’t get past the screen. I even went as far as spending $15 to bypass and equip weapon myself. Note: I had just downloaded game to start playing and this was the experience. I will dispute charges with my credit card company as I am unable to use
  14. [R19] Zombie Frontier 4 1/5 · US This game is a scam.: Me my cousins and all my friends have this game and not one of us can get past level two. We got to the point where you need blueprints to upgrade the gun. However you need to beat the campaign for blueprints, but you can’t beat it because your gun does not have enough power. We went to the weapon dealer, and it refreshes once like every 24 hours. I have no patience to wait t
  15. [R22] Zombie Frontier 4 1/5 · US another pay to play game from developer: also why so many extra download files?
  16. [R60] Zombie Frontier 4 1/5 · US Beware of unauthorized charges and unwarranted banning: Game started “fun,” though it soon became blatantly obvious you MUST spend money in order to progress to the next levels. I have no problems with spending. However, they began to double-charge me on things like the “pass card.” When I disputed, they refused to address the issue. Instead, they banned me from accessing the game. While doing so,
  17. [R30] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · GB Good game but gets greedy with in app purchases: Well put together linear shooter, however it gets to a point where you can’t progress any further without making in app purchases. It gets to a point where to get upgrades you need special items as well as the usual coins/gold etc..which can’t be obtained through play…I worked out to progress any further it would cost me close to £100!..and that was
  18. [R65] Zombie Gunship 5/5 · GB Awesome: If you want to pass the time for an hour or two this is just the ticket,loads of free upgrades,addictive and decent price for buying coins
  19. [R80] Zombie Gunship 4/5 · GB Please fit aspect ratio: It’s way better than the rival game due to it not being pay to win. And it’s just so much more true to the AC-130 mission back from the cod 4 days which makes it awesome. But it’s so small and doesn’t fill the full screen unfortunately, especially with the new notch design.
  20. [R103] Zombie Gunship 5/5 · GB Good Game: Nice game I enjoy raining death from above on the zombie and saving the humans. Upgrades are easy to save for and make a big difference. I keep returning to this game every time I get a new phone.
  21. [R104] Zombie Gunship 5/5 · GB Free a and fun!: While it may seem cheap, this game is very addictive and super fun. Yes at times it’s a bit stressful but it’s fun nevertheless!
  22. [R33] Zombie Frontier 4 3/5 · GB Controller support: Needs controller support for backbone!
