  1. [R5] Zombie Fire 3D 5/5 · US I love this game..: Honestly, this game scores a 10/10 because I downloaded the resources pack, and the sounds, graphics, and the gameplay itself was amazing. But one issue. I wish in the game we can move around in different rooms every game… but overall this game is one of the best shooter games besides Fortnite!
  2. [R8] Zombie Fire 3D 5/5 · US This game is great and best quality: This game is about zombies and is fun
  3. [R14] Zombie Fire 3D 5/5 · US Awesome Game!: I really really love this game from the graphics, to the controls, to the designs, and just the overall gameplay is perfect! Although I do have one input, I’d love to be able to move around a little. You know like being to walk, run, and/or hide.😊
  4. [R17] Zombie Fire 3D 4/5 · US Great game: Awesome game and graphics. One of the best Zobie games i have played. So why not 5 stars? The guns and weapons are a huge issue/problem. The most expensive guns are not exactly the best and a huge disappointment, especially they are so expensive. Forget them, just a warning.
  5. [R3] Zombie Fire 3D 3/5 · US Game keeps crashing: Hello, I really enjoy this game but my progress has stopped at lvl 167-169. The game keeps crashing. I have plenty of storage left on my phone and cannot figure out what is going on. Thanks
  6. [R4] Zombie Fire 3D 2/5 · US No Support: I’ve had this game a long time. I’ve spent a lot of money on this game. This is at least the 6-7th time this issue has come back. You load the game and try to download the next mission and it just craps out. They have NO support to report issue like this. Don’t waste your time with this game. It’s fun to play IF you can play at all. They also have sooo many bugs that you WILL stuff you
  7. [R6] Zombie Fire 3D 3/5 · US Crashes: Great game and fun to play but every time I start getting into it it just crashes like outta nowhere. If it didn’t crash I’ll give it 10 stars!
  8. [R10] Zombie Fire 3D 2/5 · US Zombie Fire 3D: Offline Game: Could be a great game if screen didn’t turn Grey after Level is finished and when Ads are finished running screen turns Grey again , going offline won’t help either so there’s no use in spending money and it’s entirely possible game needs updated to run on current iOS update ?
  9. [R1] Zombie Fire 3D 1/5 · US Trash game.: It’s called an offline game so you should suspect no ads but of course you play 4 matches and then you get hit with ads after every level. Fun concept idea for a game but all the ads make this game FKING TRASH
  10. [R9] Zombie Fire 3D 3/5 · US Vcl: Quảng cáo nhiều
  11. [R13] Zombie Fire 3D 1/5 · US Not good: Terrible filled with ads at the end of a level 👎
  12. [R42] Zombie Fire 3D 1/5 · US Reviews must be paid: Forced ads after every level that are actually longer than the levels themselves. Not challenging at all. Waste of time.
  13. [R12] Zombie Fire 3D 3/5 · US Upload caused problems: Installed last update, now it won’t let me stay in the name, it keeps shutting down! Very disappointed
  14. [R31] Zombie Fire 3D 2/5 · US Horrible update: The latest update made the game horrible. It’s cool they added a log for the zombies but the graphics made the game extra slow and it was an unnecessary change in the first place. I am deleting this game now because it isn’t fun anymore
  15. [R36] Zombie Fire 3D 3/5 · US Update makes game crash: I can’t play anymore it crashes. Before I can play any level. Before that this game deserves 5 stars it’s a great game & the makers aren’t rip offs.😄
  16. [R22] Zombie Fire 3D 1/5 · US Controller: No controller support
  17. [R24] Zombie Fire 3D 3/5 · US Doesn’t support controller: I love the game but doesn’t support backbone one controller
  18. [R64] Into the Dead 2 1/5 · US Into the ads, >then into the paywall: Fun game. Disliked how pushy they are for money. I got to a point in the campaign where I felt I couldn’t continue unless I spent money so my guns could actually kill zombies. The ads after every run are annoying as well. 5 stars for good story and fun game. Either have less ads or let players get through campaign without grinding and I’ll give this game anothe
  19. [R69] Into the Dead 2 3/5 · US It's a bit difficult, and it feels like you have to pay to win: In the second chapter of the story, there are many zombies and not enough bullets. If you don't pay, you'll likely not even have enough bullets to clear the zombies right in front of you. · translated
  20. [R76] Into the Dead 2 2/5 · US Micro transaction heaven: It's a great game, that's why I gave it the extra star, but they made it so that you have to pay big bucks to really progress, because without micro transactions, you don't get enough stars, which spoiler alert, gives you the bad ending. You have to pay to have actual pleasure in the end. 3/10.
  21. [R99] Into the Dead 2 3/5 · US THIS IS JUST A CASH GRAB: DO NOT GET THIS GAME! 1: There are micro transactions EVERYWHERE and sometimes they’ll want you to pay $1 JUST FOR A SECOND CHANCE IF YOU DIE! 2: There is NO OTHER MUSIC besides the main menu theme and this repeat note that plays during gameplay, it’s so non-immersive, give me some beat drops or some intensity, not just the same depressing note! 3: Why don’t the compan
  22. [R72] Into the Dead 2 3/5 · US Great, but the VIP has an issue.: Fun, surprisingly fun game on my phone that I will open and enjoy occasionally. I like avoiding ads when I can on games like this, so I’ll usually buy into the VIP systems that are one time purchases. Then, once I’m locked into the VIP system, every so often I’ll put a little money in from my paychecks. The problem with this game is that you pay over a hundred buc
  23. [R106] Into the Dead 2 2/5 · US Game is fun, but I need an ad free version that is not a subscription: I would not mind paying even $15 dollars to be able to play this game without ads and unlimited energy but unless you buy the subscription, this game is pretty much unplayable
