  • monetization184 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly those that are forced upon them after losing or to unlock rewards. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for additional rewards and find the overall ad presence manageable, others feel that the game heavily leans on ad viewing to progress, leading to a tedious experience. Additionally, complaints about in-app purchase prompts and technical issues related to ads further complicate the monetization experience for players.

    • “You don't need to spend money to play it and there are no ads.”
    • “This game is truly amazing, no ads, but it all comes down to having gems in the long run and it will basically stop you from achieving any further.”
    • “Great game, no ads shoved in your face.”
    • “Turns into a game of how many ads you can watch to progress a bit further... the longer you play, the more ads you have to watch to keep being able to actually play any levels.”
    • “Good game at first but after the first chapter, you're pretty much watching ads with equal amount of length as playing the actual game, maybe even more.”
    • “I watch more ads than play the game and there is always stuff about buying characters popping up every time you click on getting ready to jump in a mission.”
  • gameplay79 mentions

    The gameplay is generally described as simple yet challenging, with many players enjoying the fun and engaging mechanics, particularly in the context of auto-shooters and zombie horde scenarios. However, some reviews note that the gameplay can become repetitive and bland, with a few expressing concerns about the rewards system and pay-to-win elements. Overall, the game is praised for its smooth controls, graphics, and addictive nature, making it appealing to a wide audience.

    • “Simple but challenging gameplay.”
    • “Very fun auto-shooting zombie horde gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is excellent.”
    • “Gameplay boils down to dragging your finger to run, tapping upgrades, closing self-endorsing ads several times, and repeating.”
    • “With that said, the main gameplay is quite repetitive and bland, but requires some skill and tactics to beat the harder levels.”
    • “The gameplay gets very repetitive and brainless.”
  • story64 mentions

    The game's story is generally considered basic and lacks depth, with players expressing a desire for more character diversity and side missions to enhance the narrative experience. While some find the gameplay enjoyable and engaging, issues such as mission progression bugs and repetitive daily tasks detract from the overall enjoyment of the story. Additionally, the reliance on ads and in-game purchases for progression has led to frustration among users, impacting their connection to the storyline.

    • “A very good single player survival/story based zombie game, one of the best I've seen in a long time.”
    • “Simple yet satisfying, grinding to level and killing zombies, I enjoy the boss variety as you go through the storyline!”
    • “The story is fairly basic.”
    • “Boring, non-original game... ok gameplay, childish storyline, and a progression system just barely treading the line between fair and pay to win.”
    • “I got tired of the awful translations and literally impossible mission goals in just two rounds.”
  • graphics58 mentions

    Overall, the graphics of the game are well-received, with many users praising their quality, aesthetics, and smooth animations.

    • “When it comes to compatibility with your phone's performance, you can't adjust the graphics.”
    • “The game is fun, but the graphic design is not that good and the control is not the best because sometimes I always get stuck. I'm not sure if it's the controller or the lag, but can you do something about it?”
  • grinding21 mentions

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While some enjoy the initial grind and the fun gameplay, many express frustration with the lack of options to replay levels for additional rewards, leading to a tedious grind that often feels pay-to-win. Suggestions for improvement include implementing dedicated maps for gold farming and allowing players to reattempt previous levels to enhance the grinding experience.

    • “But, I've hit a point where even grinding will get you nowhere.”
    • “Good game, but the levels need to be repeatable for grinding purposes.”
    • “Well, at first it's just about grinding and a free-to-play game, but after a while it becomes a pay-to-win game.”
  • stability21 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing during gameplay, particularly after boss battles and when interacting with ads. Players report losing progress and rewards due to these crashes, which occur randomly and often require restarting the game. Overall, the game is described as "buggy" and in need of urgent fixes to improve the user experience.

    • “My one hangup is that the joystick freezes in-game, making it impossible to play.”
    • “The game keeps freezing at the most annoying parts, like after a boss battle when you watch a commercial for an extra reward.”
    • “After the main loading screen, the game just freezes with a dark grey screen and nothing seems to happen. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but there was no change.”
  • optimization10 mentions

    The game's optimization is criticized for a lack of adjustable graphic settings, leading to performance issues such as lag and unresponsive controls during intense gameplay with many enemies. Users express a desire for a low-resolution mode to improve performance, while some note that the game runs smoothly on certain devices, indicating inconsistent optimization across different hardware. Overall, there is a strong call for improvements to enhance performance and compatibility.

    • “I'll change it to a 5-star rating gladly if they either add a low-res/performance mode or if they clean up the lag.”
    • “Need a lot of optimization.”
    • “The game is very fun and smooth; the only issue I have is that it doesn't seem fully optimized for my phone's screen size. I'm using a OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, and something's just not right.”
    • “Lack of graphic settings to adjust to your performance.”
    • “Sadly, the performance takes a huge toll and the controls even become unresponsive when there are lots of zombies on the screen.”
    • “Just it is kinda lagging, could be more fluent... seems like poor performance optimization.”
  • humor7 mentions

    • “While the soundtracks are decent, they quickly become repetitive and dull.”
    • “The music lacks variety and fails to enhance the overall gaming experience.”
  • replayability3 mentions

    Players express frustration with the lack of replayable levels, which limits farming opportunities and makes grinding for resources challenging. The inability to revisit lower levels for easier gameplay also hinders the ability to introduce new players to the game. Overall, the game's replayability is seen as a significant drawback, raising concerns about potential pay-to-win mechanics.

    • “Levels aren't replayable, so you can't farm. All that's left is to run a hell mode level and get 2k gold from it - less than the cost for a single level up.”
    • “I wish the lower levels were playable so that I could make my friends try the easier levels to persuade them to play this as well.”
    • “I really hope this game is not pay-to-win because I'm loving it, but it's really hard to grind with no replayable stages at all.”
  • character development2 mentions

    Character development in the game is heavily tied to ads and in-game purchases, leading to frustration for players who find themselves stuck on levels. While the character designs were previously criticized, recent updates have improved their appearance.

    • “The character development system relies on ads and purchases, which can be quite frustrating when you get stuck on a level and can't progress because of it.”
    • “I liked this game before, but I thought the character designs were lacking; however, they have updated them.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is marred by frustrating mechanics, such as bosses that can defeat players without direct contact, leading to feelings of unfairness and disappointment. This can detract from the overall emotional engagement and immersion in the gameplay experience.
