  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The perfect zombie game with good storytelling on how the whole world gets infected instead of just saying that the world gets infected.”
    • “Is good for one playthrough on story mode, but not much after that.”
    • “The fact that you can't unlock the hell guardian for use in the story mode except through a microtransaction prevents it from being 5 stars.”
    • “Kinda sucks when you have to redo a mission 20 times just to complete it, but what this really needs is more of a story mode.”
    • “Could use a little story to it.”
  • replayability

  • stability
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting issues such as freezing during missions, unresponsive screen areas, and random crashes. While some players enjoy the gameplay, the overall experience is marred by significant bugs and lag, particularly in endless mode and when exiting the app.

    • “Although there are times when the app freezes in the middle of some missions, usually when the time is accelerated and I'm throwing everything and the kitchen sink at it.”
    • “Galaxy S20 here, and the game is very buggy with portions of the screen becoming untappable and thus unplayable.”
    • “Only criticism: every time you exit the phone app, you have to restart the game because half the screen freezes.”
  • grinding
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unbalanced, with some expressing frustration over the slow progression and high costs of upgrades. While some enjoy the gameplay and tolerate the grinding, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, leading to uninstallations due to the repetitive nature of the tasks required to advance. Overall, the game has potential but requires improvements to its grinding mechanics to enhance player satisfaction.

    • “I thoroughly enjoyed the game but have uninstalled it because I refuse to go through the redundant grinding necessary to get back to where I was at.”
    • “This version is built to be grindy; you don't automatically unlock new zombies (the first unlocked zombie costs 4000, you're lucky to get 200 gold a run). It just gets more expensive, not worth your time.”
    • “Fun for about an hour; the upgrade system is kind of tedious and the endless mode just isn't any different from the normal game. Also, resolution issues cause black boxes on the side of the screen. Fun but extremely unpolished, could use a lot of work and has a lot of potential.”
  • music
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Hey developer, can you make an update so you can go back to your original state when you are not in hard mode? I just lost everything and it made me cry. Please let us go back to our old progress; I had the best team and I also beat the game twice as your favorite gamer.”
    • “This game made me feel a deep emotional connection while I waited for my pregnant girlfriend to get out of the hospital.”
