- [R3] Zombie Gunship Need new updates: Stop letting us down give us new updates. I’d give this game of five if you guys made occasional updates 🤦♂️
- [R12] Zombie Gunship Good way to kill time.: Gunship is a simply way to kill some time and zombies. Simple set-up, kill zombies and complete objective to earn money toward upgrading your aircraft’s guns and other passive defenses. I do with they invested a little in mission variation and aircraft types.
- [R44] Zombie Gunship Good…: Zombie Gunship is a fun enough game, but there hasn’t been an update in 8 years. Makes one ponder why. User Data?
- [R62] Zombie Gunship Survival My opinion of this game:: Honestly I really like this game, the systems at place are fairly easy to understand and the game itself is really fun! The updates that have been made have always been enjoyable and felt like they belonged as opposed to other games. Progression is a little slow but I’m fine with it.
- [R32] Zombie Gunship Simple classic: Best mobile game I think ever no ads offline availability easy upgrades easy and simple gameplay Ive been playing this game for years and still has never gotten boring I started playing at young age I find myself still playing in my adult years this game is definitely in my top 5 overall
- [R70] Zombie Gunship Survival Be prepared: Game starts off good, but even with awesome weapons they make it impossible to proceed unless you spend a ton of money, zombies that run a 100 mph… come on really ???? Stupid
- [R87] Zombie Gunship Survival A little pay-to-play: A really good looking/feeling game. Unfortunately, at a certain point, whether or not you’re able to continue playing through levels is solely dependent upon the quality of random loot drops. Been grinding for quite a while, and think I can safely say that unless you’re willing to pay some outrageous price in actual cash for some weapon, your enjoyment is entirely contingent
- [R1] Zombie Gunship Crashes like a mf: played 3 rounds then the game crashed and continued to crash immediately upon opening the game. ridiculous i have to reinstall the game to get it to not crash after 3 games lol
- [R4] Zombie Gunship Very Buggy: The game has become very buggy and crashes before awarding points. Also, annoying are the 5 minute (not exaggerating) Royal Kingdom ads that are frequent. Game not as good as it used to be. Do better.
- [R10] Zombie Gunship Game crashes: The game will crash at the menu, or most of the time crash before the application can launch
- [R76] Zombie Gunship Survival Update issues: “The client received a server error identified by the code 9999. It needs to authenticate again.” Continues to across all portable devices, despite delete and reinstall. Game unplayable. Great update!
- [R22] Zombie Gunship Good game!: I like the fact that they don’t shove a bunch of “hey buy this now for 100 dollars” in your face and on top on that it’s very fun! It’s one of those hinden gems you could say! Good game recommend it’s fun.
- [R31] Zombie Gunship Still Amazing!: I used to play this game all the time, but forgot about it. It still isn’t Pay to Win! Thank you!!! 🫶🙌
- [R61] Zombie Gunship Survival Developers are asking for too much: You developers need to lessen the requirements for the leaderboard missions from 120 to something more realistic because you guys are just forcing us to have to buy in-game gold to be able to complete the requirements needed. Plus the weapons randomization for opening crates sucks, we will never get a legendary gunship weapon and troop weapon unless you buy it w
- [R67] Zombie Gunship Survival fun with a big flaw: the game itself is great, but this game has the most absolutely egregiously terrible and greedy microtransactions i have ever seen in ANY game or app.
- [R113] Zombie Gunship Survival Upgrades: This game is great ! I’ve reviewed it before and played since day one. I commend them for keeping the upgrades going and using player feedback, any problems encountered are fixed quickly.
- [R118] Zombie Gunship Survival ZGS is Fun, Nov ‘25 Update is Not: What TradNat is mentioning is the 11/12/2025 update that changed several elements of the crate reward system that negatively impacts the free-to-play user experience. The core of this game is excellent and many of us have been long time players. But over the years, the gold cost for items has increased without any increase in benefit. Where there were one or two
- [R100] Zombie Gunship Survival Too many ads: Game is actually really interesting, but it isn’t worth the 15 different pop-up ads that I have to X out of every day
