  • Intuitive and accessible crafting and building system with smooth controls, making the game easy to pick up.
  • Engaging survival gameplay with complex resource management, crafting, construction, and combat against zombies.
  • No microtransactions or energy limits, providing a fair experience unlike many mobile survival games.
  • The game feels incomplete and abandoned with very rare updates and limited content beyond a certain point.
  • Awkward and sometimes confusing interface and controls, including troublesome inventory management and lack of key gameplay features like saving and pausing.
  • Graphics and animations are low quality and dated compared to other PC games, making it feel like a subpar mobile port.

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and well-paced, with effective mechanics and a good atmosphere, though some users note bugs, a lack of content, and occasional confusion that could benefit from clearer tutorials. Long-term gameplay layers like resource management and crafting add depth, but the current content limitations and level caps reduce replay value until updates arrive. Overall, it offers a relaxing experience but needs improvements for lasting engagement.

    • “I liked the game, the developers created a good atmosphere and mechanics.”
    • “Many layers of long-term gameplay - such as resource extraction, crafting, construction, production, optimization of logistics, improving the quality of game life.”
    • “Game is playable and enjoyable, but needs bug fixes; gameplay and sound need improvement.”
    • “Really love this game, and the dev is a really great guy. The lack of content is harsh, and after 17 hours I am overfarmed, level capped, and waiting for content for months on end. I have been capped for probably 5-6 hours of gameplay, with about 15+ areas still unavailable. Being level capped and my base almost too big for the tile given to build in, I am hard pressed to say the game is worth the money. If a content update hits soon, this game is really fun, relaxing, and well paced.”
    • “The base game mechanics are okay, very little seems straight-up broken.”

  • graphics

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    Users generally find the graphics decent and suitable for the genre, praising their clarity and lack of eye strain, though some note they could be improved for more lifelike movement and polish.

    • “The developers tried and made a really cool game with great graphics and a cool soundtrack.”
    • “Lifez - survival is a top-down survival game, it resembles Rust, interesting crafts and builds, good graphics in beta.”
    • “The graphics are nice, the eye does not strain when spending time in the game.”
    • “The graphics are sort of okay but could do with a lift; also, the player model needs more work as the movement looks very dull and non-lifelike.”
    • “Even the graphics are average compared to the Android version.”
    • “However, I cannot put in a graphics card; it's a power source issue.”

  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The story is generally seen as minimal or lacking depth, with some players wishing for more backstory and meaningful missions to enhance purpose beyond resource gathering. However, a few users appreciate the existing narrative and sound design. Overall, adding richer story elements and character development could improve the experience.

    • “Amazing game with good sound and story.”
    • “Things that could definitely improve the game would be adding missions to give you purpose other than just resourcing.”
    • “Some backstory for the character we're playing would enhance the experience.”

    Users appreciate that the game satisfies their zombie survival cravings without aggressive in-app purchases or ads, contrasting it with other games known for heavy micro-transactions and cash grabs.

    • “Satisfies my zombie survival mobile game cravings without being tempted to spend on a bunch of in-app purchases.”
    • “As it is with LDOE: Survival's developers, who have proven to be greedy Russian devs -- a common trend that's apparent in this growing industry of quick game development cash grabs.”
    • “You'll see games like Life Z flooding the mobile market with microtransactions and full of ads.”
    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, and are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”

    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game features excessive and unbalanced grinding, particularly in farming and crafting materials like cloth and wood, making the experience feel tedious and time-consuming rather than casual and engaging.

    • “Game needs balancing; for example, cloth and wood farming/crafting is a tedious, endless waste of time, whereas other materials seem to appear as needed.”
    • “It's a casual gaming experience involving a lot of grinding.”

    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
