The story aspect of "Dead Trigger 2" has received mixed feedback from players. Many appreciate the engaging storyline and graphics, but a significant number express frustration over the abrupt halt in story missions after reaching tech level 5, particularly in the Russian campaign, which lacks any further missions. Players are eager for updates that would expand the storyline and introduce new missions, as the current gameplay often feels repetitive and lacks depth beyond the initial campaigns. Additionally, technical issues such as freezing during loading screens after completing missions have further detracted from the overall experience.
“The campaign & storyline is good.”
“The story is good, it can be more enjoyable with a few more tweaks here and there.”
“The storyline is amazing, the detailing is absolutely amazing.”
“The game has very bad story progression. Once you finish the missions of one region, you have to pay the scientist a fat stack of cash to go to the next region. I personally hate this.”
“I was really disappointed to find out that once you've completed the South America run and unlock Russia, the story doesn't continue and you're stuck playing the side missions.”
“I have upgraded my tech to level 6 but there is no mission showing in the world map... this is terrible!!!”

“The game is good I am not gonna lie, but I gave it only 3 stars because the graphics are really bad.

I remember playing it in 2016 and till now there is no single change.”
“I don't understand the point of reducing graphics in one of the updates, my Dead Trigger 2 was going smoothly high graphics, but then you released an update and now graphics look really bad. I don't understand what's the point of that; it was already going smoothly.”

However, many players express frustration with repetitive gameplay, long upgrade times, and issues such as freezing during missions, which detracts from the overall experience.

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly forced ads that disrupt gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the in-app purchases are overpriced and that the game is designed to push players towards spending money to progress. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the game can be enjoyable, the heavy reliance on ads and costly microtransactions detracts from the overall experience.
“So far it's no p2w and no ads unless you want a bonus.”
“What an amazing game....tons to do to keep you busy...don't have to spend real money (although it helps)....no ads...easy to learn and move... great graphics...i have had nooooo trouble with any bugs or freezing up...very smooth on my pixel 3 xl... i am now on my third continent so i am just breaking the surface of the game... great job ladies and gentlemen.... thank you”
“Best zombie shooter in mobile, hands down, it has great graphics for mobile, many weapons and fun gameplay mechanics with pretty cheap microtransactions make this game a real gem.”
“It's all about the developers wanting you to spend money as if they don't make enough off all the ads.”
“Like most 'free' games of this type it is full of ads and the gameplay upgrades are difficult to achieve... that is, if you don't succumb to buying the very expensive in-game upgrades with real cash out of desperation; it's designed to make you do that, gotta pay to play, as the saying goes.”
“The only complaint I have is the ridiculous prices of most of the in-app purchases (I mean $55 for 1-4 weapons pack. Seriously? The price of a AAA full game for a few weapons?) and the fact that they removed one of the few in-app purchases that were worth the money (permanent double money for $5).”

The stability of the game is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent freezes and crashes, particularly after completing missions. Players often find themselves stuck on loading screens, leading to lost progress and the need to restart the game, which has resulted in frustration and some opting to uninstall. While the gameplay and graphics are praised, the persistent stability issues detract from the overall experience, with calls for urgent fixes from the developers.
“Really fun take on first person zombie shooters, and the graphics wow feels like I'm playing a console game. Controls are easy and smooth, super responsive, no glitches, totally loving it so far!”
“Great game... there is plenty to do, even when you're waiting on a new mission you can still play and earn blueprints and cash. Love the hideout and all its upgrades, and the controls are perfect, the best I've ever played with. The game moves smoothly with almost no glitches and pretty much zero lag; it's genuinely an awesome game.”
“This game is crazy awesome... no lags, no glitches, and so many missions. It's so satisfying; it's like I'm playing on a computer but actually on an Android phone.”
“The game freezes on the loading screen after completing a campaign mission and I'm left with only the option to close and restart it.”
“I enjoyed playing Dead Trigger 2, but it's really frustrating when after completing my mission the app freezes and does not save my progress, so I need to keep repeating missions once it reloads.”
“The game is good and all, but there is a major bug where sometimes when you clear any level or challenge and the loading screen comes, the game just freezes there and you are forced to restart the game.

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a double-edged sword; while some appreciate the challenge and sense of progression it offers, many feel it becomes tedious and repetitive, especially after completing the campaign. The need for extensive grinding to unlock weapons and upgrades, often coupled with long wait times and limited rewards, can lead to frustration, particularly for those unwilling to spend money to expedite the process. Overall, while the game is enjoyable and engaging initially, the grind can detract from the experience over time.
“The only thing I want to point out is when you complete the campaign, it becomes a grinding game, upgrading and having to replay the game a lot of times to gain money.”
“It's a very good game with unbelievable grinding; it literally takes you years to upgrade in this game, just like other generic strategy games. The game is just repetitive grind and it's getting boring; I've been playing for years so I'm tired now.”
“However, the progression system becomes extremely grindy very quickly and is obviously geared towards getting you to spend money on gold to upgrade faster.”

“First is the audio issue; I don't know why the audio is stuttering. I tried messing with developer options, but it doesn't work. Second is the HUD settings; every time I move the fire button or any button to the top left of the screen, it just teleports back to the top right of the screen.”

Players express a strong emotional connection to the game, highlighting its heart-touching narrative despite its tragic ending.

Overall, while the graphics are appreciated, the emotional depth of the story remains a focal point for improvement.
“My improvement is I played this game 3 times consecutively over 3 years (2019 to present). Please, please make more story missions. I deleted it 2 times because the story mode has a tragic end, not a heroic end. I don't expect this from this game; it's a heart-touching killing game. So please make more story missions after South America. I request this to the developers; it's my desire, not just the desire of every player.”
“I love this game! The graphics aren't that great, but you can use a controller if you don't like touching the screen. I don't know, I just really love this game ❤️❤️”
