    • “The gameplay itself is decent enough but it gets repetitive quickly.”
    • “Worse game I have ever played, the gameplay is lacking, the characters are one-dimensional with no personality, it's just a garbage weebish game, all you do is send troops to attack zombies but nothing happens, no animation to it, just nothing.”
  • story176 mentions

  • stability174 mentions

Despite enjoying the game's content, players express frustration over the lack of effective fixes from developers, leading to a perception that the game is becoming increasingly unplayable. Overall, while the game has potential, its current state is marred by persistent technical problems that detract from the user experience.

    • “There's time boosters and your alliance can even help you upgrade buildings to reduce time. All in all, I have to say I give this game an 11/11. Top notch, no glitches, doesn't drain battery, and the developers actually listen to the fans. I would give 6 stars.”

    • “Game is a buggy broken mess with little care/support from the devs. They are too busy making copies of this game; most new content is a cash grab, and tons of features are only partly complete and abandoned.”
  • monetization93 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with numerous players expressing frustration over aggressive in-app purchase prompts and misleading advertisements. Many reviews highlight that the game is heavily reliant on microtransactions, making it difficult to progress without spending money, which creates a significant disadvantage for non-paying players. While some users still find enjoyment in the gameplay, the overwhelming focus on monetization detracts from the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as more of a business than a genuine gaming experience.

  • grinding38 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring players to invest several hours daily or spend real money to progress meaningfully.

    • “The grinding feels rewarding and keeps me engaged for hours.”
    • “I love how the grind is balanced; it never feels like a chore.”
    • “Over time the game gradually devolved, and now it's impossible to get anything worthwhile without either spending 4+ hours per day grinding mind-numbing tasks, or spending real money to boost your score.”
    • “I've wasted so much time trying to progress by training a lot of troops and farming resources only to be plundered repeatedly after getting attacked multiple times by other players whose levels are way too strong to beat because they spend huge amounts of money buying resources and stealing from other players instead of farming them.”

Other than that, it is an awesome game and I hope Xingtech doesn't stop anytime soon with this game.”
    • “Game keeps glitching and freezing for no reason other than it's poorly optimized.”
    • “I lost 900 virus stocks and my 8-hour boosters; what a great way to waste time and money due to bugs. Not only that, the game is severely unoptimized and needs more work put into it; otherwise, it's got even more bad rep from me.”
    • “But many performance problems, lags, and FPS drops.”
  • character development14 mentions
