Left to Survive: Zombie Games

The creators of this game desperately want you to spend money, and lots of it, to buy gold in order to advance in the game. The alternative is to earn points by playing the game days or weeks on end to earn enough to do a weapon's upgrade needed to progress. They make the option of buying gold not an option at all because the prices are ridiculously high for minimal weapons upgrades and/or game advancement. The highest I've seen in any zombie apocalypse game. So the alternative is to earn enough points by playing the game in order to upgrade. I noticed recently as I've progressed and earned enough points to almost be able to upgrade a level that upon opening the game the next time my point scores have been lowered by thousands of points. The first time it happened I wasn't sure I had earned enough points. But the second time it happened I made sure to take a screen shot that showed how many points I accumulated. And lo and behold, the next time I opened the game my score had been lowered by 8,000 points or so. WOW, talk about deceptive and/or nefarious practices. They obviously have embedded some type of algorithm to prevent players from progressing without buying gold at ridiculous prices basically hamstringing themselves from creating loyal players willing to pay for a quality product. Good luck with that.

I really recommend this game for ages 12 and up, the caveat being for fantasy violence. With PvP, traditional story line paths and a really awesome air to ground assault gameplay option, there are three ways to fight to stay alive. A traditional farm/factory etc set up with resources collected over time. The farm yields the fuel for the missions, the factory etc yield parts for building/equip upgrades so you do run out of energy to go run missions or “gears” to upgrade the guns. Therefore there are built in stopping places to keep you from shooting zombies all day. The gameplay is fun and I’ve lost a lot of PvP already, so my tactics need work. It constantly asks for iTunes login, so it wants money but it doesn’t need it. You can play for a good chunk of time if you play a mission or two, then a PvP battle and a base raid from your helicopter. For me attacking the other base camps and their defenses using the chopper is the most fun so far. About every 2-3 months I need a new go-to time killer game and this is the one for late 2018.

First off this is my favorite mobile game. I spend more time playing this than my PS4 and Xbox One combined. I’ve pretty much given up on the campaign due to the fact that it takes SO LONG to upgrade weapons, unless you spend money. Real money...and it can become quite pricey. I’ve only spent a few dollars on the game, but I learned something over the last few months of play: being patient and waiting for your facilities to upgrade (sometimes upgrades can take up to 15 hours) can feel satisfying if you stick with it over time. I’ve spent a few months logging on everyday to upgrade various facilities, and also to do Base Raids and the PvP aspects. You do get rewards for your efforts, and they aren’t bad at all. If you don’t want to spend money on the game, you just have to be patient and keep at it daily to get the most out of it. Also, you can just watch ads to acquire free gold and energy (energy is needed for Base Raids). So in short, this is an awesome game for mobile...you just need patience and in my opinion...it’s totally worth it. Thanks guys for making such a great game and for always adding new content!!!
