Reviews

Switch port
Luckithroe

Been following this game for years, and as an developer myself I feel confident a Switch port would be a huge success. Please let us know if it’s possible, and if not would you mind if I make a shameless clone?


Great! But,
Hangie36753485489459536

It’s a great game! I’d love a sandbox mode or something though, to really have fun with all the weapons and stuff


I love this game. Worth every penny!
GOOODgame BUT,

Keep it the same just add lil details. Like more guns & add an extra person. Fantastic game


Still an awesome game!
myst515

Just a brief updated review to say this game is still awesome! Ive had this game since it was first released and it amazes me how the game is still getting updates. Worth the asking price. ??


Terrible controls. You get your moneys worth /w resets.
Mio1062

Don’t let your Marines die. the games save function is horrendous. I’ve lost saves with over 10k zombie kills because of the save UI alone. Terrible lobbying, idk where I’m at when I’m playing a game, because it seems to kick me from games when I’m in the middle of the mission, but I’m chalking that up to the bad save UI and my fat fingers.


Very Enjoyable Game
jjcq2002

Honestly its one of the most fun zombie games I have played on mobile. You are able to put down soldiers and control them from like a birds eye view while doing various missions. If you have played games like this you will enjoy it It is really fun!!! Well worth the price Here are some things that I would like to suggest for future updates - Chinook cant be used on FOB so while you may have 1 chinook and 2 black hawks you only get to use 2 per in game day it would be nice to be able to use all 3 (and perhaps 2 more in future per FOB) -The KC-130s rarely get used I would like to suggest then being used to transfer soldiers between FOBs and ARK that would be very useful and it could have a similar range on the map as the Cruise Missiles and AirFighters. Perhaps using them for transport of equipment tanks and missiles would be nice as well and would give them greater utility (it would allow for greater use of missiles and other fun equipment at FOBs as currently its limited to 12 missiles) or larger more expensive aircraft like a Globe-master or C-5 galaxy could be added for this purpose. - I dont know if this issue is just for mobile but I was not able to trigger the syndicate event I would also like to see some larger campaign missions (story wise) the underground bases were super fun and would like to see more of that. Along the same lines it would be nice to have some more map variation and perhaps larger maps if you switch dev engines which I would support. - Larger maps would be super cool if you switch dev engines and this could perhaps give way to greater utilization of tanks and other equipment so long as they maintain the same “pace” of the maps we currently have cause I like the intensity of fighting of the waves of zombies and that is something that should remain. Perhaps the larger maps could be some sort of campaign of war against countries or some sort of story thing. -As for switching dev engines I would definitely support as sad as it may be losing my progress I would gladly do so if it means you guys can continue to make the game even better. Overall I loved the game. You guys made something remarkable and I hope you guys continue it it was super fun playing. (Also if I could get more control over stealth missions that would make the rebel missions and nuke missions enjoying as currently stealth is difficult as the marines don’t shoot when you want them to and do when you don't)


Despite a couple of nitpicks this is one of the best IOS games available
glossyplane542

It’s incredibly fun and engaging and the lack of needing to be online means I’m basically always playing it for hours every day, even leaving my phone on overnight for clear outbreak missions. I love the tactical aspect of managing a worldwide outbreak and the individual missions are very fun. The fact you can reload and restart missions whenever you want is very nice as it essentially lets you choose how hard you want the game to be. I for one don’t like failure so I like being able to reload a save when I mess up and someone gets infected. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys phone games or zombie games. However, I have a few nitpicks: 1. The AI is incredibly dumb. They’re smart at times, when the rebels are dodging hordes of zombies it’s rather impressive, but more often than not it’s bad. Safe soldiers standing completely still as a horde of zombies rushes towards them, getting stuck on vehicles, VIPs having a death wish, etc. 2. The bunkers don’t have enough in them. If you’ve done one bunker you’ve basically done them all. Besides Dore bars, survivalists, and the vehicles, there’s no reason to go in them really. Some hidden research or something that you can’t find normally would make them worthwhile. 3. Rare weapons like the flamethrower and survivalist weapons can’t be reproduced or stored which is lame. If I want to give a soldier with a flamethrower an M4 for the mission there’s no reason the flamethrower should dematerialize. 4. Getting new weapons from countries doesn’t really work. It works for everything else like buying vehicles but not weapons. It’s bugged. 5. Not nearly enough research projects available. 6. Not enough control of your units. 7. Some more mission types would be fantastic. Maybe espionage missions as jobs for other countries where you fight into an embassy to steal a document. Something like that. 8. Constant Text to speech is very obnoxious. 9. Better uniforms for the safe soldiers. Maybe an option to give them cool masks or something. 10. One day I opened the game and my save was gone. There was no reason for it. My save was just gone. Which sucked a lot. Besides all that it’s still incredibly fun and I have to recommend it for that. But it could just use some work.


It’s a great game but MY GOD…
eveything is taken help

The rebels are WAAAY to powerful. A single one can wipe out my entire squad. Kind of makes rebel missions impossible to win. Other than that, it’s one of the best games on the App Store.


A game never abandoned
Sikesja

Though it might lack in regards to a game like strain tactics in micro managing troops. It does do well to make the world feel alive, where your success and failure does matter.


Hidden Gem
Rockgotnoryme

This game is amazing. I can’t believe it was buried so far down on the strategy game list. It’s a great mix of tactical modern day combat, turn based strategy and critical thinking needed. I’m in love with this game. Best $3 I’ve spent on a mobile game.
