  1. [R3] Last War:Survival 3/5 · GB The Truth: Good game very enjoyable to a point. You have to balance achievement with time, addiction and money. I’m quite patient, so spent £1.99 on an extra building queue. I built up a good base, squad and inventory - progress is definitely being made. However it seems at every turn they want more money - £1.99 is all you’re getting. I wanted to show growing a great base and army could be done w
  2. [R11] Last War:Survival 5/5 · GB Addictive: This game is so addictive.
  3. [R13] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Nothing like the advertisements 💗: I downloaded it because it said no ads, real app etc and turns out its nothing like the ads, disappointed me so much. Not to mention half of the reviews are bots.
  4. [R14] Last War:Survival 5/5 · GB Challenge game: It is a challengeing game
  5. [R4] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Fake Progress, Real Paywalls: Starts off fun, then quickly turns into a classic mobile trap. Early progress is fast and satisfying, then suddenly everything slows to a crawl unless you spend money. What looked like a game turns into a storefront with zombies in the background. Constant pressure to buy, wait, or grind. Less strategy, more psychological pickpocketing. Deleted.
  6. [R8] Last War:Survival 4/5 · GB Frontline Breakthrough: Apart from the game being very pay to win, the only main problem I have is with frontline breakthrough. It is basically impossible to complete levels once you get to around level 40, I click on the YouTube tutorials and they are super outdated and not accurate to the actual gameplay at all, with the troops in the videos dealing way more damage than in game and the zombies m
  7. [R10] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Wait wait wait: Another game that start with good intentions to then get you stuck into a spiral of waiting forever waiting! Dont waste your days like this, the more you get ahead the more miserable you will feel as you will end up looking to wait for a week just to get something done… spend ur time more logically, or download games where you can actually play rather than clicking all that there i
  8. [R9] Last War:Survival 3/5 · GB No ads: That’s what I like most about this game, and the game itself is fun - shooting those zombies. I had to delete it though because I got stuck in the hub world. I had only played 4 fun levels and I couldn’t find any way to proceed.
  9. [R24] Last War:Survival 4/5 · GB I'm not sure this is the game but...: This is a really good game but after a few days of playing mine got glitched when i tried to let a person into my base. It kept on repeating the sentences and it wouldn't stop. So I had to delete the game I'm very sad. But overall this game is actually good you get more characters to fight in the war and you can upgrade you're base. The only thing is that i
  10. [R26] Last War:Survival 5/5 · GB Very good but…: Don’t get me wrong this is a really good game except when I was going to chat the box showed nothing like someone wiped it then I went out and back on to see I couldn’t even get on the chat at all well this could be just a glitch or something else but whatever it is then it would probably sort itself out but I recommend really play this game
  11. [R57] Differences 2/5 · US Fun game but a cheat: You will click on the image to where there is obviously a difference in pictures and it’ll tell you that you’re wrong using up all my lives
  12. [R1] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Antisemitism: Allows pictures of hitler and antisemitic posts in game chat
  13. [R19] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Complete scam: Complete scam game is nothing like advertising pay to play prices are a rip off. Build times are disgustingly long and make no sense designed to make you addicted and waste money. Do not buy anything from them it’s designed to rip you off with very minimal rewards then they scam it back from you a disgusting game with toxic racist chat and nothing done. Game employees are whales des
  14. [R29] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB GAMBLING SCAM !: This game is not what it’s starts as it’s a gambling scam that is build to hook you in people are losing their homes STAY AWAY ! There are fake people trying to make a community ! You have been warned.
  15. [R48] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Not that great: The community is really racist and homophobic. Players were harassing each other.
  16. [R39] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Be careful: This game is toxic. This is not just zombie killing. It is a strategic game that pushes you to play constantly to farm to gain fain power by spending money. You cam quickly become addicted to the game. I personally never experienced this before with any other game. It is not free to play AT ALL.
  17. [R15] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Rubbish game: Don’t fall for it. Nothing like the adverts.
  18. [R17] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Different that ads: just the beginning of game is, how it is showed in ads then playing after 5 minutes its different. Don't bother downloading it...
  19. [R21] Last War:Survival 1/5 · GB Nothing like the adds, fake game: Simply as the title states. Nothing like the adverts.
  20. [R51] Differences 1/5 · US Parthetic: I’m very disappointed because I love this game but like all the other games you get 30 seconds of putting and then a commercial and then 30 seconds of play and then another commercial commercial commercial commercial I think I watch more commercials than I actually play the game. I’m a senior and I play a lot of games online but now that they all cost so much friggin money. I feel like
  21. [R53] Differences 3/5 · US Ads: So…..many…..ads. Ads after almost everything you do. Game is fun, the nonstop ads are not.
  22. [R59] Differences 3/5 · US Ok: I liked playing but there are way way to many ads. Play a game watch an ad. Play a bonus round and you have to watch an ad to collect the bonus. Play for 30 seconds and watch an ad for 60 seconds before you can play another game. I’m deleting. Good luck to you. If you like ads, then this is for you.
  23. [R63] Differences 1/5 · US Too many ads avoid it !!: Avoid it!!!
  24. [R60] Differences 2/5 · US Too many adds and awful puzzle game: Love the actual game but too many adds and the puzzle game for keys is awful. The puzzle pieces intentionally don’t match logically so you can watch a dozen adds for help. Awful!! I want to play find and spot the differences Not a puzzle game.
  25. [R72] Differences 2/5 · US Clickbate: Forces you to do a whole another game to get keys to play the actual game…
  26. [R75] Differences 1/5 · US don’t get it: i hate this game. it has ads. it makes you work to even get to the ACTUAL game you wanna play. hated this made me rage quit and delete it.
  27. [R87] Differences 1/5 · US Bad update: I hate the update. The game you need to play in order to get keys is horrible and annoying. I just want to spot the difference that's the only game I downloaded this to play.
