  1. [R2] GOLIATH 5/5 · US Goliath: Hard to play but a great game
  2. [R5] GOLIATH 5/5 · US Amazing: Beautiful execution, challenging & engaging. Premium is a bit too pricey, but still a great game.
  3. [R7] GOLIATH 2/5 · US Terrible Bug: The game is good but there’s a huge problem with the “fuel” system. I’ve used all my fuel points since yesterday and when I checked the next day, i still had 0 fuel. When I observed, the timer below the refuel constantly keeps resetting! I can’t play anything since I’m basically stuck at 0 fuel forever!! Please fix your game.
  4. [R14] GOLIATH 4/5 · US Remove fuel mechanic: This game is a very good game I play it a lot when I can because I have no fuel most of the time so to make this game better please remove the fuel mechanic. Other than that it’s a good game
  5. [R4] GOLIATH 1/5 · US Deleted review and deleted progress: I’ve spent a lot of time and money only to have my weapons and coins disappear. I had previously made a review about it, but that review is no longer up. Do not buy.
  6. [R8] GOLIATH 4/5 · US Progress: Greetings, dear developers, I would like to ask how and who will restore game progress and purchases made in the game!
  7. [R9] GOLIATH 3/5 · US Sadly Buggy: Used to be one of the best mobile games. Lost all my save info, and even after today’s update, I the Upgrade or Store buttons are still greyed out.
  8. [R12] GOLIATH 3/5 · US Great Game BUT: Great game; but all of a sudden when I opened the game to play 50 Red Diamonds were just gone. They haven’t come back and it take a lot to earn them. It’s already expensive if you buy anything. Now you guys are repossessing items for no reason. Thanks but No Thanks!
  9. [R6] GOLIATH 3/5 · US Has potential: The game clearly wants you to spend the $10 to actually enjoy it. You either have to watch ads all day or pay for the premium unless you don’t mind progressing at the pace of a snail. Definitely fun and I understand that being a free game means it has to make money somehow but it affects the player experience for the ftp player for sure. I am not a robot
  10. [R10] GOLIATH 1/5 · US Waist of space: Game is painfully slow and the constant requirement to watch adds is horrible!
  11. [R11] GOLIATH 5/5 · US Such a fire game: Has little to no adds very good gameplay such a lovely game
  12. [R30] GOLIATH 3/5 · US Review: AC 130 Gunship: The app crashes way too often, the adds are too frequent and last too long. I am deleting the app.
  13. [R64] Zombie Gunship Survival 2/5 · US 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
  14. [R13] GOLIATH 1/5 · US Goliath App: The Fall and Demise: This app used to be amazing. I invested a lot of time and money into it because it was genuinely fun and worth supporting. Then an update completely broke the app and wiped out my progress. Everything was lost, forcing me to start over from zero. What’s even more frustrating is the lack of support. The developer barely responds, offers no real help, and continues
  15. [R19] GOLIATH 2/5 · US Red gems: Where’d all my red gems go? No access for support. Fix this issue please. Should have several thousand. They count in then it goes back to zero. Five stars otherwise.
  16. [R18] GOLIATH 3/5 · US Mixed reviews: Was my all time favorite game but the bugs are just too much to deal with. It took all my money and weapons but alpha on level 10 and alpha doesn’t cause damage for most of the vehicles so I’m basically stuck not able to play anymore. Kinda regret paying for the premium version now
  17. [R27] GOLIATH 3/5 · US Should be Goliath Crashes!: The game itself is awesome. But it crashes constantly resets constantly. I have lost thousands of rubies and can’t update or buy new weapons because the game crash crashes. And I lose all my rubies that I earned. I have flipped the game probably 10 times trying to get there. I think I’m gonna give up on this and find a reliable game that doesn’t crash every game.
  18. [R63] Zombie Gunship Survival 3/5 · US Pricey: It’s fun but it’s EXTREMELY expensive.
  19. [R78] Zombie Gunship Survival 3/5 · US 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
  20. [R82] Zombie Gunship Survival 1/5 · US Pit of Greed: Fun, but you’ll plateau out and never realize higher levels of play unless you’re willing to pay insanely high prices for stronger weaponry.
  21. [R86] Zombie Gunship Survival 4/5 · US Strategic, fun, but p2w from what I can tell 3 months in: Great concept, fun game play but later levels need strategic weapon choices that players most likely won’t have, also events that give these great weapons as rewards only to the top 15 players in the server! You can view those players “the top 15” load outs and all of them have prototype weapons which as far as I can tell so far are not po
