Nice Port of Board game with some changes
Confidential Gamer
It’s not a straight 1:1 port of the board game but it is fun and so far I haven’t run into any bugs. The only DLC is optional additional characters so no PTW which is nice.
A good start, has some rough edges

First, I am a fan of the board games. I own all of them, save the newest integration. (Green hoard at the time of this writing) This game captures the essence of the board game, but makes some design decisions I’m not a fan of. First, progress is not saved between devices. I play on an iPad and my iPhone, but I was disappointed to see I had to start over on both devices. Second, the “buy” buttons for DLC doesn’t seem to work. I also did not see any missions available as DLC, but perhaps I have not progressed far enough. Splitting my time between two devices to do the same thing hinders progress. The next thing I would bring up is that the touch sensitivity on the iPad Pro 11 is a bit funky. I like to use the Apple Pencil, but it’s extremely difficult to use. It also appears that some features are missing, like changing the primary weapon or reorganizing inventory. That was a key element to the board games, so it’s sad to see it go. After that, things like animations, sound (music is awful) and other quality of life items need to be tweaked. Overall I’m ok with the 4.99 price, but it feels like an unfinished product. I’d wait for a couple months if you aren’t a huge Zombicide fan.
A lot of fun

It plays just like the board game, my biggest gripe is no multiplayer mode. I’d love to be able to go through a mission with friends. If they add this in later I will bump my score up to 5 stars.
Love it

A great adaptation at first I was slightly upset that it wasn’t a straight port but I appreciate the differences now after playing it and feel it’s well suited for mobile.
Excellent

I’ve play the board game a couple of times. It’s fun and if everyone knows what they are doing you can move quickly. When I played it move much slower as people were learning the game and discussing things and what not. This version is similar enough to the board game that I don’t see the difference having only played a couple of times. I think that’s a great thing. It plays fast, it’s fun, it’s a light strategy, and I like the music and style animation. Cloud save really should be included and although I read some people were having issues with the Apple Pencil, on the 9 inch iPad Pro using just the touchscreen and not the pencil I didn’t have any problems. It also works without any problem on my iPhone XS max. Again, I think it’s a great implementation of the game end it plays cleanly and as quickly as I would like the board game to play. I hope they come out with more expansions and add-ons soon! Also bring out the fantasy version!! Five dollars is absurdly cheap compared to the price of the board game ($70+). Really well done!
Good but bugs such as final mission quite annoying

Nice, lots of fun, but on the final mission the second objective is kill 40 zombies. Killing well over 40 zombies doesn't activate that condition so the came cannot be beaten.
Play if you like the board game

I absolutely love this game and the whole concept. Great original storyline with smooth and easy gameplay. Plus, you don’t have to really pay for anything else unless you want too (extra characters). Worth the $5, highly recommend for everyone new or veteran to the board game
Grossly Unbalanced
Deceptichop
I think like so many others, I am a fan of the board game. It was a ton of fun, easy to get into, and one of the most well balanced board games in the last decade. Therefor it’s a shame that this game is such a mess and utilizes the success and general mechanics of the original game to make a weak attempt at capitalizing on the app/micro-transaction market. The game itself is built around getting you to a point where you have no choice but to throw money at micro-transaction to proceed. By implementing a system where your heroes can only take 3ish hits before death while the zombies can have double digit health (and never miss) the game is designed to play you into a corner where it’s impossible the play further without spending more money. Which is ridiculous considering the game isn’t even free. The gameplay otherwise works similar to the original where each character has a certain number of AP and attempt to collect resources and survive waves of zombies of increasing difficulty. But again the balancing falls apart as the rate the difficulty increases is staggering. My hope is that some future patching to balance the game and make it playable will come. But it’s a shame that CMON is trying to wring their fan base of every last penny before delivering something worthwhile.
Be careful buying characters

Purchased a character bundle. Can use them on the phone but will not show up on my ipad(which I prefer to play on) Sent in a help request and have heard absolutely nothing Will change review once I get what I paid for
Wonderful adaptation
Tutubeater
If you’ve been itching to give this game a try but don’t have the time or the friends or you’re slightly antisocial like me this is a great alternative and so much quicker without having to fiddle around with miniatures and other various tokens and dice. I do wish they added more variety to the zombie models though and increase the damage potential on the other non-butcher roles so they’re not as useless. You will learn to hate toxic zombies... I hope they do this with Black Plague or green horde. I would definitely pick it up. Well worth the money. Thanks for another great game Asmodee!
