State of Survival: Zombie War for Negative User Reviews

Pay to win- DONT DOWNLOAD unless you plan to spendI’ve been playing from when the game launched. I have finally quit and deleted it. It’s as simple as this, if you don’t spend big money you simply cannot be successful in the game. It’s that simple. The game is engineered to make you spend. The devs just keep adding new levels as a blatant cash grab and rely on people being stupid enough to keep spending. I understand it’s a business, but the amount of money required is in the thousands and completely unjustified. A good game requires skill, this game requires money. A balance between spenders and free to play with skill being a major factor makes for a good fair game. Free to play players are required to make this game work and they are just getting screwed. Final statement, Don’t download this game, the devs are just plain greedy and only care about generating income. At least try and be a bit more subtle about it! Update to developer response: I mentioned nothing about in game payments, your response is just copy and paste rubbish. All the 5 star reviews for this game a 2 or three words, fake, unverified. It’s so obvious. Absolutely rubbish game, rubbish support. Do not download..Version: 1.15.0

Horrible SupportThe game is similar to others out there. Build a settlement, attack zombies and compete with others for rewards. Warning, it is an expensive game. I’m fine with that, my issue is that their support is horrible. If you have any issue, it’s your fault. The game is riddled with bugs that lead to missing rewards (both free, and ones YOU PAID FOR), also some of the benefits (called buffs) you purchase won’t always work. Again, if you contact support, they will immediately say it’s your fault and close the support ticket. I found too many bugs that took things away from me that I paid for, so I stopped putting any money in. I also reported a few mystery charges I did not initiate, again it’s your fault, not theirs. I suggest you play it for free, and resist the urge to spend, because the developers will just find a way to steal from you. Or better yet, just move on to try one of the many other games that are exactly like this. Maybe those developers treat their customers better. *** Response to developer: More time? Each time I submitted an issue you were quick to close the ticket without asking any follow up questions. I had to submit the same ticket three times for the same bug. Each time having to re-explain the issue to every new agent who responded. You were not interested in fixing the issue, you just wanted to blow off your customer who spent A LOT of money. So, I’m done spending money. I’ll play for free with that kind of support. ***.Version: 1.10

Very sad endingI had to stop playing this game. I spend roughly £100 a month on gaming but that won’t get you anywhere in this game. I know that’s small change to some people but in my opinion if your spending that much each month you should still be a valued customer. I have a friend who I played with who put in thousands and he got special discord server invites and when he emailed support they replied quickly. I played for nearly 500 days and met some great players but the developers just don’t care whenever I had an issue I’d have to wait up to 2 weeks just to get a generic reply that asks me to provide all the information again. The tipping point for me was there new hq skin store it worked out about £500 just for 1 skin and the events are so repetitive and to often. If you like pumping money into things to be the alpha this is the game for you..Version: 1.11.80

Sexual adsThis game has very sexual ads and it’s for 12year olds and it scams people.Version: 1.18.40

Fun-ish but...So, ive played a ton of these types of games. They all have their issues. But this one was one of my favorites of the genre. It was really well made. Has a lot of heroes that are all pretty well balanced. Good side tasks. Right level of grind for leveling. Etc. But the devs have been absolutely tanking the greatness of the game steadily more and more over time. They increased prices, give discounts to new accounts and not to people who have played for a long time, made a lot of changes that were all generally negatively received by everyone except the biggest spenders, and their handling of dead servers is really terrible. Instead of taking care of dead servers and transferring the active players to a new server with new players, they just merge dead servers with older active ones where the active one far outpaces the dead one so everyone gets trampled quickly. Then pump out fresh new servers that you can make a new character on like candy which means anything you bought on the old server is effectively wasted since nothing transfers to a new character. Overall, its becoming more and more obvious that they do NOT care about their players at all so long as they can make money from the biggest spenders. dont download this game and feed into being fodder for the big spenders to dominate and keep spending on this game. its not worth it.Version: 1.18.60

Avatar constantly removed, Apparently my face is offensiveI have seen photos of naked butts, women in bikinis, men in speedos, shirtless men, even without their faces.. Overly provocative photos mostly of men and I can’t even upload a selfie if it shows my shoulders or collarbone as they get removed constantly and put in a 72 hour cooldown. Targeted much ? They’re not offensive, they’re a smiling selfie with nothing remotely provocative about them. I even tested it by putting a photo of a male up and it wasn’t removed but yet my photos get removed or ‘reported’ constantly and support blames the system that’s been put in place and are no help. Who knew my face could be so offensive. What a disgusting thing to do. Wouldn’t be surprised if I get block next.. They got their money out of me and have no regards to their customers issues..Version: 1.14.11

ScammerThis game scams you there are no 777 draws.Version: 1.18.60

Customer isn’t always right for this developerCustomer support is non-existent or set to auto-reply. Several alliance members have had problems after updates and yet to see any actual help. Missing troops they’ve spent real world money on, inability to log on to their account properly are just a few of the major issues my alliance members have. And still have. Months later. All they get is a template style reply. Considering how much money you (as a customer) actually put into a game like this (because believe me, this is not a free game if you want to compete in anything) you would think they could hire some actual staff who work to look after their customers and fix the problems. This ineptitude and inattention will have you feeling frustrated and bored. If you’re going to play this game (because it can be fun) just don’t spend money in game or you could be their next victim..Version: 1.7.70

Great Game, however...This game is great. No doubt about it. However there is still something crucial missing. And that is trading. It is advertised that trading is an option for you here- it’s actually one of the reasons why I decided to try it out- but it is not working/there is no option for it. In the State Chat you will find many others, like me, asking how the trading works. But no one there has an answer. One of the Moderators (as it is impossible to contact the Devs) has told me that the Trading Post is not ‘online’ nor do they know when it will be. Rating adjusted due to the false advertisement. However still. Play this game. It’s pretty good..Version: 1.6.63

The customer service is appallingI have an in game glitch where my HQ is level 14 and I haven’t been able to upgrade the building Intel post. The building in question does NOT have an upgrade button. On top of that, when I press the intel button on the building it takes me straight to the radar to find infected mobs. When you press this button on the building it is meant to take you to the intel missions where you follow a story line and get rewards like epic hero fragments. So, I am lvl 14 with an intel post that cannot upgrade and an intel post that won’t let me access the intel missions. On top of ALL this, I opened a ticket to the customer service team hoping to get this resolved. I have been waiting 39 hours now for a response. In that time I have opened multiple tickets hoping to get a reply and so far.....nothing! I am on state 127 and my in game name is Setek. I would probably enjoy this game more if I could play it as it is intended. But, I am guessing if i do finally get a reply from customer support, they will just say that they’ve past it onto the developers and it is out of their hands and there is nothing that can be done. 5 days of game time put in that I won’t get back..Version: 1.7.12

If I see one more add....I really wish I didn’t have to see anymore adds. They are annoying and grossly over s*xual. It taps into the younger audience that are curious and it’s disgusting. On top of that the adds are misleading showing you that it is an RPG but in reality it’s just another build a city game with “LIMITED TIME OFFERS”. I’m just fed up with the targeted advertising that games like this produce. Show the actual features that are in the game rather than what you want people to see. Other wise it shows that the game isn’t good enough to play..Version: 1.11.35

Avoid like the plague!After 1052 days of play, what started out as a fun, engaging, community based game, has become a boring cash grab by developers. Every month there are new features which not only cost many, many thousands of dollars to max, but they further break the game and exponentially grow the gap between the Uber-whales and the low/mid spenders let alone the F2P players. Right now anybody other than the high spenders can be monstered by the whales. Events are stale and repetitive, most of which are just reskinned versions of old events. They are generally of low interest, rewards are complete trash and do nothing to correct the imbalances the new features introduce. You can happily play for about 1 year, after which the real crunch occurs and they know they’re likely to stay because of the personal connections you form in the process, but don’t let them fool you, the sting quickly follows… Devs have no concept on how to build a gamer community and their customer service is non-existent - most help tickets are responded to by somebody who doesn’t even understand what you’re contacting them about and usually contains a platitude of some sort, then they just close the ticket with no resolution. I’ve stayed for the people but have finally realised that I don’t need this rubbish dump of a game to do that..Version: 1.19.10

Zero supportIt’s great, because there’s people who bully you in game, and then nothing you can do about it! Because support offers no help! How fantastic! Report it to your state governor? Who do you think the bully is?! Super bad attitude by 98% of the players. Also, the game is essentially unplayable due to bugs..Version: 1.8.62

Don’t waste your time. It’s rigged to make you spend money .This game has potential to be fun. But it’s an exercise in futility. You join up and get put in a state only to see level 30 players who spent hundreds and thousands of dollars bullying everyone who doesn’t spend money or is new. So you can have your settlement for a week and some other player comes along who’s been playing for a year destroys you. Even if you spent money for the first week they are to powerful and the money you spent was a waste. They even have an event called kill stage where you get points for kills. So after joining for 5 days I got attacked by one alliance a bunch of times and had no troops and they moved my settlement as it burned to the ground . So essentially starting from scratch . I got placed in a state where 90% of the alliances are foreign. And they see an American player and I am a sitting target. I join a decent size alliance and they dictate where we can build and what we can and can’t do. So much fun!! Sarcasm of course. Save your money on another game. I hope one person who spends money reads this and goes to another game instead and spends their money elsewhere. And Kings group knows this, I have spoken to other dissatisfied players who have written Kings and they don’t care. It’s stacked for spenders..Version: 1.9.100

Great game, terrible customer serviceI’ve been playing this game for nearly a year and accidentally brought a few packs in my farm account and contacted customer service to request to have them transferred to my main, which I will add, I have spent a very considerable amount of money on. I accidentally used the vip points when collecting the daily drop out of habit and was told in order to replace them from the pack I could use bios in the vip store by the customer service rep. Except that by doing that it automatically added them to my vip points and not back into my backpack as they were needed in order to make the transfer. I was also told I’d need to replace 160 badge tags into my backpack, however these items are never displayed there and I have 1000 sitting under chief gear. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement after nearly a week of backwards and forwards with customer service and being told miss information and continually reminded that if I don’t magic the vip points back (or spend more money to replace them) within 7 days my request wouldn’t be facilitated. Something small like this on what was a genuine mistake on my behalf of not realising what account I was in leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It’s the little things like this that keep gamers like myself happy and spending, but happy I am not..Version: 1.14.0

Repetitive gameplay, good if you just want a laugh with peopleI started playing this in Jun-2020 and for the most part have enjoyed it. Once it got to the point that waiting for buildings takes longer, that’s kind of when you start to enjoy the bants with your fellow alliance members and the in game events such as fortress fights and capital clash help you to bond further. What spoiled the game for me was the drama and backstabbing between people and learning that the connections you thought you made counted for nothing. That’s what ultimately made me to uninstall the game. The game is boringly repetitive regardless of whether your are P2W or F2P, and if you don’t have a good relationship with the people you are playing with, it just spoils the whole experience. You could go to another server I guess but when you have spent so much time and effort on one account, what is the point? Also, I’m so much happier I don’t have to spend every other Saturday trying to retake the capital lol.Version: 1.11.10

Pls readI got the game from one of the adds but I did not receive the 777 draws or lucky I just wished that you guys would tell the truth.Version: 1.18.70

WarningThis game is full of bullies and people with God like complexes. I was happy playing in my peaceful alliance, when for no reason other than someone trying to flex their muscles, decided to rally their top state alliance against us because why? Because they could. I spent a year playing and investing into this game before this only to be burned to the ground. It was my opportunity to leave which I’ve been waiting to do for awhile because of alliances like this. Kingsgroup take your money but don’t look after you if you become targeted and bullied. I feel so free now I’m not playing….Version: 1.16.20

Slow. Boring. Broken.What’s the appeal of this game? You build, then wait. You upgrade, then wait. You gather, then wait. Finally you reach a respectable level only to lose all your resources while being offline to some p2w opponent. Higher levels just mean more waiting. The game should renamed to State of Waiting..Version: 1.18.60

Don’t put money or time into a game that requires you to bind your account.The app restarted my game when I upgraded my phone. Don’t put your money or time into this game unless you can bind the account. It’s been over a week since I last logged in. Several active players sent Help and Support messages about what happened. Help and support is useless even though you send screenshots of all the transactions, chief information, coordinates, etc. I hope players are still active if I ever get my account back. Other than that I had fun playing the game. I enjoyed customizing my settlement and teaming with other players to fight the plague. If help and support were better this would be a five star game. Update: Help and Support was able to relocate my account after 26 days and I’m happy to play again. Unfortunately my base’s resources and troops were all depleted and I couldn’t start off running. My absence has impacted the alliance and many players lost interest in the game. I tried my best by purchasing several packs to rebuild my settlement and troops but I wasn’t the strong player that I used to be. I tried to motivate players to participate in events but we weren’t able to place anymore. It’s sad to see the players that I invested my time into leave the game. I tried my best..Version: 1.5.52

Beware of incorrect chargesWatch your purchases very carefully. They like to charge you for purchases that you haven’t made. I was charged for items I didn’t purchase and got a refund from Apple. Next day I received a message from devs threatening my account if too many refund requests were made. Well they don’t have to worry because they won’t be getting money from me anymore. Also for some events you are not given the rewards for completing certain conditions. After so many levels the grind is very slow and takes days and weeks to upgrade or research items unless you open your wallet. Be prepared to be bombarded continuously to make bundle purchases which gets really annoying. Definitely a pay to advance type of game..Version: 1.18.40

Tried to contact mod & email, no reply wanted money!So I was strong, but I could have been stronger if I could do foreign tip offs, intel, join rally’s. I had so many glitches inhibiting progress and I was reluctant to review poorly until now where I can not sign in. My friend can sign in just fine on my network right sitting next to me while I just get reconnection messages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, made sure it’s updated. I have contacted mods about previous glitches, how to’s and now this glitch with no response. I have emailed them, yes this is a pay to win game and I paid some and all that’s lost. Quite frankly I am extremely annoyed, what a waste of my time and money. Why does no one contact me back? I want that money back since you can not give me my time back..Version: 1.9.10

Needs some additional helpOkay so the game is basically pretty cool but it has some draw backs first of all u less you spend money it’s hard to collect all the players cause you have to collect pieces of them and if you get them you rarely get them again to level up but you’ll get the same 2 characters till there generals and the dam game goes into over drive and when you do the searches like your supposed to now all of a sudden the game wants to give you 5 of that character now and you cannot even use them any more why not rotate the players you do need why does it give you the same 2 people and you can’t use those pieces anymore. Also when your in a clan you cannot share your resources with you guild mates on all other games you can share supplies within your guild and they tax you for it which is very helpful cause if your attacked and all of your supplies are taken and they have killed all your troops it will take you a week just to get back to what you had because it takes for ever to collect the resources back to get your troops back if you could share withi. Your guild you could put a tax on the resources that you share so like if you shared a million food or wood the tax could be high to begin with but if you leveled up say a trading station your taxes of resoreces could be reduced but never less than say 10% I just wish it would be more team friendly that away. Other then that it’s an okay game.Version: 1.9.31

Not worth the moneyOn top of all the scams the developpers use to get your money, if you’re not willing to shell out the big bucks you won’t stand a chance. Also, the makers of the game pay people to basically play and recruit and dominate maps. Your time and money is better spent anywhere else!! Crooks..Version: 1.9.50

Worst game everThe game has zero customer support. They offered gift codes recently. I redeemed them. I was saving all my in game material for upgrades and the in game currency for an event. Then after they sent those gift codes and some complained cause the gift codes were generous they took back what was given with the gift codes. In my case not only I lost the stuff I had redeemed from their gift codes but also the items and materials in my backpack that I bought with actual money of myself. The game is filled with bug and the spending feature is very predatory. You only win if you spend. Do not download this game. Even though I asked apple for a refund cause my actual hard earned money was lost and I received nothing in return they refused to refund me. This is horrendous stay away..Version: 1.20.0

MehPayers Win!.Version: 1.9.10

Greedy DevsUsed to be a good game that I'd be willing to spend on, but I've been playing around 2 years and feedback that was sent over a year ago still hasn't been looked at by the Devs (state merger), instead they just keep bringing in more ways for people to spend money and constantly increase the gap between P2P/f2p. New States have features that older states don't and also Intel gives the newer states better rewards (legendary frags while we're stuck getting frags for heroes which were maxed out a year ago.) It doesn't matter how often you get in touch with Devs or how often you give them feedback on their discord page, nothing changes. Unless you're willing to throw thousands of pounds at the gang, don't bother playing because you'll just become as frustrated as the rest of us..Version: 1.11.100

Do the Devs even care at this point?The matchmaking in the game for cross state events like reservoir raid and stare vs state is appallingly broken. Whatever points system that has been concocted is frankly absurd. The single most important determinant of outcomes is the strength of each side’s rally leads, yet time and time again the matches pit sides where one side simply many more high spending leads on side than the other. You can hold the capitol building with half an alliance of less of you have three or four rally leads with 200+% stronger attack and defence bonuses and 100+% health and lethality bonuses. I hate easy wins and hopeless losses in equal measure - I’d much rather loose a genuinely close SvS with a margin of minutes than have a victory handed to you on a platter by absurdly awful matchmaking. Also, why did you have to break something that wasn’t broken? The reservoir raid as it was originally was perfectly fine. Choose one time slot, and that will be your match. Now you have to give three time slots, and only one of them is doable for most of the alliance members who want to sign up for that legion. So when the slot everyone wants doesn’t get given, at least a third of the players simply can’t make it because they have other things to do in their lives than plan their Sundays around a game. Well, “if it ain’t broke we’ll fix that” seems to be developers’ motto..Version: 1.18.40

They cheat youGame is fun; however, they frequently cheat you on purchases. Often you don't get bonuses when you purchase a pack...when you try to get tech support to look into it, they seem clueless. From my perspective tech support doesn't even play game as they appear to know not much about it..Version: 1.8.46

GarbageThe ad is nothing like the gameplay, and the gameplay itself is just another one of those poor city builders. Don’t expect a cool strategy zombie shooter - because it’s not.Version: 1.9.10

False Advertising Up The WazooJust wanna say real quick I didn’t have a problem with this game player wise before seeing all these ads, now I feel like I’ve gotta say something. The game is literally every kingdom building game ever. Tapping and waiting and paying to not wait as long, like we’ve all played and complained about before. I actually don’t have too much of a problem with this game aside from what I’ve just listed because I went into this gaming KNOWING what I was getting into and knowing that if I wanted to get ahead and upgrade stuff without waiting months on end I was gonna have to pay outta pocket. I’ve had this game for a few months and play it when I’m bored, it’s good for wasting time and if I care to pay attention to the 19,000 different story lines going on in the game then that too also passes the time for me. But I’m writing this one star review because what I cannot stand is seeing all the false advertising for this game on other apps and ads. It’s ridiculous and it’s pathetic you dupe people into downloading your app because they think if they play long enough and get through the half hour hand holding tutorial that they’ll finally get the kind of action they saw in your advertisements that made them download in the first place, when in reality they won’t. Shame on y’all..Version: 1.10.20

$6k for over 2 years, never enoughI tried my best, even maxing out my credit card sometimes, even at the cost of quality time with friends and family, just for the sake of in game friends, it’s never enough I guess it’s time for us to realize that this is no clash of clans, in this game it’s impossible to get stronger without spending thousands PS You ain’t a whale you ain’t winning, I knew some people in my state who spend 3-5k a month but it’s never enough Whales from other states spend twice that amount, some even redraw from their home loans, it’s never enough Been on a server which never saw any state victory for over 2 years, until the mergers came, too little too late, been demanding it for so long, but devs ignored and keep on opening new servers. Sorry I have to quit without saying goodbye.Version: 1.18.90

Really long commercialsThis game like to use really long commercials. I always use the time to leave a 1 star review..Version: 1.18.40

Socially disturbingNever have I seen a game so rampant with online bullying, favouring those who spend the most money with no checks or balances to prevent abuse. Many states live in fear of the highest ranking group, usually the ones who spent the most money. Most statewide events are worthless, dominated by these groups. Only way to truly participate is to match their spending. Never know when you are going to wake up with all your hard work destroyed because someone in your alliance disagreed with them and they retaliate against the whole group. Everyone walking on eggshells, a true real life dictatorship. Adults, know what you are getting into and never let your kids play. I could only imagine the harm that would cause..Version: 1.9.120

Good but...I was enjoying it until I started to get really p***** off with the finger pointing icon on the left that I couldn’t find a way to turn off. It’s as if we are so stupid that the circle ALREADY spinning around it that we need some annoying fat finger to emphasise the point that a red dot that appears on EVERY SINGLE OTHER ICON would not be enough to tell us there’s something to do in it! I turned everything on and off hoping that there was a way to get rid of it but there was nothing that allowed me to stop it! If you can see past that then it’s enjoyable to play with loads to do, at the start anyway. This could go the way of most other freemium games by drawing you in and then slowing everything down to a crawl unless you’re prepared to dig deep into your pockets. My impression just by it’s beginning that spending wads of cash WILL end up being the cash as it’s starting along a very familiar pattern of play but I’m not prepared to as I can’t get past the annoyingly stupid fat finger so unfortunately I’m going to delete it after writing this..Version: 1.9.10

MehIf you don’t have a lot of spare cash do not download this game as it is extremely expensive. This is something that a lot of players have made complaints about to the developers which has landed on deaf ears! The so called “packs” are not money for value at all. If you are a free to play (f2p) player, it will take you months to upgrade your legendary heroes as you have to wait till you gather enough resources for the upgrade of 1 hero. As for upgrading buildings, doing research and farming plots, this will also take quite some time to complete enough resources for the said upgrades. Some of the upgrades for the “badges “ “chief gear” etc, you can only get in buying packs. Again not money for value! You will end up at a certain point in the game being a f2p, thus you will end up playing a zombie farming game. BORING! So I implore you, save your money and your time and NOT download this game! Just keep on scrolling past!.Version: 1.17.20

Not what it seemsI downloaded this game from an add which promised me the Lucky hero plus treasure. I didn’t receive any of them and have since found out this is the case with a lot of players. I thought it was a zombie game but it is more manipulated towards power at any cost and that means destroying other players. To start with I really enjoyed the challenge of building up my own settlement and the excitement of getting new heroes. I still enjoy the game but I don’t want to join an alliance and attack everyone, if it wasn’t for a monthly event that I really like I would probably delete, that is if some alliance doesn’t wipe me out first. If you are into power games and spending money this would be a good game for you. Also there is no game support available and you pretty well have to figure things out yourself. A pity cause it could be a good game. I have since joined an alliance and am still playing, you don’t have to attack other players if you don’t wish to..Version: 1.20.0

Don’t waste your time like I didI played this game religiously for about three months and got to a pretty high level, it’s nothing like the adverts I keep seeing by the way. Even if you play as much as physically possible unless you fork out thousands of pounds (I’m not joking) to upgrade then you’ll struggle to get past HQ26, and if you do get to HQ30 then it would take you literally a year to save enough plasma (?) to get to the first star. Meanwhile people who spend a fortune hit the top level before you can even get to the second best troop ranking, and they will kill all of your troops every time you log on and zero you and there is no cool down period so you will never have enough troops to fight them back or stand a chance. You can even relocate but if the ‘governor’ of the state is in another alliance they can find your base with their privileges and you’ll continue to get burned. Such a shame as I had a lovely alliance and we were top for a long time but a big spender joined another alliance and from then on the state died as people left from being burned all the time, and it got really boring. Left because I was being harassed with awful messages by the new top alliance as I used to lead the one that was top before and I couldn’t be bothered with it anymore..Version: 1.9.125

Money theft at it’s best!This game takes advantage of weak minded people who need to feel accomplished and are willing to pay literally thousands of dollars for ranking in an imaginary world. It is full of glitches and the developers don’t even bother to compensate when you are victimized by their glitches unless you are a big spender. I personally experienced this on more than one occasion. The most recent issue was when the game wouldn’t show the daily check in, I updated and checked ios was latest but still nothing. A day later it shows up but I had to spend 10,000 biocaps in each account to “make up” the missing check in. I reported it and they said they will look into it and apologized but then closed the case with no explanation or refund of my stolen resources..Version: 1.19.0

AddictiveAddictive game. The first few levels are great but as you advance upgrades to your buildings take longer and longer until upgrades take hours to complete. To make matters worse you hit a wall on what you can do without upgrading. You cannot queue up your upgrades so the next one starts when the one you are working on finishes. That would be a great feature to help with advancing gameplay while you are off doing real life things like working, going to school or sleeping. You cannot add a second construction slot to work on other things unless you pay real money. The same goes for training troops. At higher levels it takes hours. Upgrading your hero hits a wall. The really good upgrades, you guessed it, costs real money. Exploring the world? You can send out tow groups to gather resources, which once again, takes hours on higher levels. You cannot get more groups to send out unless, you guessed it again, pay real money. Researching new technologies. You hit the upgrade wall and you can’t research more than one thing at a time unless, you guessed it, pay real money. Do you see a pattern emerging? After a certain point this becomes a wait forever for something to happen or pay to play. I am almost a week into it and have already hit the pay to play wall. I don’t see it staying on my iPad more than another week unless something changes..Version: 1.8.40

Worst customer ‘service’ in any gameGreat game, very addictive and reasonably well built, with nothing more than the usual gripes about poor graphics development (too much detail, too poorly coded, resulting in bad frame rate experience even on good hardware) - WITH ONE EXCEPTION. As usual, Kings outsource the Customer Service, unfortunately to what seems like the cheapest bidder and resulting in the worst experience. What is a good game is totally trashed by the most appalling excuse for service you’ll ever encounter. If you’re very lucky, they may reply to a ticket in a week and if you’re really fortunate it may actually be something other than a copy-and-paste about an irrelevant issue. But you won’t get a fix. I’ve had teammates without a working account for 2-3 months (after spending significant money on upgrades which they thought they’d lost), I’ve had bugs and issues that I’ve spent weeks on just to get a ‘nothing we can do now’ response and lost several items I paid money for, all of which ends in them closing the ticket. It’s a catalog of crap that adds up to anything from total disregard of the customer right through to downright theft of funds. Spend money if you want to, but good luck if you get to benefit from it all. And woe betide you if you have a problem that needs solving - they don’t give a sh*t..Version: 1.10

A load of crapI saw this in app store and downloaded it and played it religiously for like a month, thought it was alright but i found it way too easy to level up at the beginning like unlocking the full base which took like an hour or so, and them after that point theres not much else to do other than the same old stuff and it gets too repetitive. Despite this i carried on in hopes there would be another point and then you hit a certain point in the game and it just becomes impossible to do anything without having to spend real money, so basically just one of those games that lets you see how good the game is when its easy then when it gets hard you end up spending money so its as good as it once was... got completely bored of it after a month, stopped playing it and now i see it advertised everywhere and i must say this is the most falsely advertised game in existence. Please do not waste your time people! My only positive is that the zombie designs are pretty cool..Version: 1.11.80

P2W + fake adsThe game does a lot to keep you invested early on, but later you will realise the flaws. I grinded to 14 mil power, so I know. This game is a huge money sink. Game devolves into x has more power than y, therefore x wins. minimum strategy. Biggest clans (pay to win clans) on the server will control everything and everyone. You will just have to sit there and watch your smaller alliance burn to the ground because you are massively outranked. The gameplay is literally upgrade simulator. Gameplay in the mobile advertisements is the fakest thing I’ve ever seen.. lying like that shouldn’t even be allowed. Devs really need to make the game fairer for smaller alliances, add more strategy that isn’t just “I have more power than you, I auto-win”..Version: 1.9.35

Average free game with good graphicsOverall SoS is a good enough game for being free. The graphics are good and there’s plenty of content to do for being a free game. That being said, the developers make it clear they want you to spend money by constantly putting different ‘packs’ everywhere on your screen that can be purchased. One example is that every time you load the game there’s a pack that is offered for 4.99 (right now it’s the Survival of the Fittest pack). You can also pay to have a second construction slot to upgrade buildings, which is reasonable for the price. What isn’t reasonable is that every time you create a new character, you have to purchase the second construction slot again. This was very misleading because I purchased it on my first character thinking it was a one-time only purchase because it literally says that in the game! The game can be played without ever having to pay money, but just know that you won’t ever be as powerful as the people who pay for power(yes this game is pay-to-win). I’ve been playing this game for over 10 months now and I do enjoy it, although sometimes I do get annoyed at how much the game tries to advertise different things that can be purchased. If you are looking for a new game to play that is free I would recommend trying out SoS, but just note that it’s pay-to-win and you’re going to get bombarded with ‘deals’ and offers in the game..Version: 1.9.20

Good fun, but watch the PVP events they are a killer.So luck most games it has it's good and it's bad. GOOD: nice story even if it has shades of that movie/game group that starts in R city. New hero's added regularly and lots of Player vs Environment events and story to enjoy solo or as a team. You can play F2P however I would suggest the pack with second build queue as around level 20 builds are in days and even with all the time boost packs you get free still takes ages. BAD: new chat system most players hate, Alliance help message so annoying to list the ones you helped (so not needed). Kill stage and State Warfare events are Player vs Players, but that just means top 10-20 teams smash everyone unless you have enough shields (8 hours each max and events are 2+ days so can get expensive (alliance or real world $). If you drop shield you get hit and a % of troops you can heal. The % that die cost you time and effort. These events are brutal, so if you are not wanting PVP or can not handle losing troops in the 1000's do not play..Version: 1.9.10

What has happened to alliance storeOverall, this is a fun game. And you can make progress without spending too much money. But they have COMPLETELY stuffed the alliance store in the new states. No more stocking the store! Now it is a random offering the rarely includes items you need. No relocators, other than the random one, of which you get multiple offerings in one go. Only 2 hour shields! Devs, you have so muffed it. How people are meant to get to bunkers etc and back is a mystery to me, not to mention CC and SvS. We just won’t participate, and get zeroed because we can’t shield ourselves! Dead state after dead state! WHEN IT ASKS WHICH STATE TO JOIN, JOIN AN OLDER ONE!.Version: 1.9.35

Extremely greedy company ruins a fun gameI’ve played this game for over a year now and only continue to do so because of my alliance. Still, I reconsider my choice to continue playing pretty much every time I log in. Each new event introduces a new predatory mechanic. The current minigame, Feeding Frenzy, has levels that are intentionally impossible to win and the undo tokens cannot be purchased with the premium currency, only real money. The recurring event Lights & Colours is a bingo board of tasks where you cannot complete the board without paying money. The company brings out these new events and ways to squeeze money out of its players while ignoring feedback. For example, there is STILL no ‘claim all’ option for daily tasks. This would be a major quality of life update that saves people 20ish taps a day! It would be so easy to implement and currently I am unmotivated to complete daily tasks (read: play the game for any amount of time) because of things like this. I will not pay money for this app unless serious changes are made. I love the community I’ve met through this game and I was thrilled that the Heroes Search gacha isn’t really a major feature of the game, but unfortunately the game more than makes up for this in equally greedy measures..Version: 1.19.30

Unfair to Free to Play playersRecently kings group issued out hundreds of codes to the players. Giving away great rewards. Well after 12 or so hours of trying to get codes and not getting sleep before a big battle that happens twice a month they decided to roll it back creating extreme lag during State Vs State making so laggy it just made you mad. The kicker in this situation is we all get generic messages of “We will forward this report on to our supervisors “ just to never hear from them again. They have gotten rid of the reporting system and customer service functions in the game. The only way you get help is if you get VIP 12 well that costs a lot of biocaps or time and they took the biocaps away from the codes they gave us. I for one will not support them on their new game and I suggest others don’t as well. They are quite greedy and want your money just to push out events that are glitchy and buggy and makes the game play poorly thought out. They need to update Reservoir Raid and Showdown and Fortress Fight and AC’s and many other things. I do love the game. I gave it a 1 star due to the glitches and bugginess of the game and not fixing what exists and keeps pushing crap out when they should focus on fixing what we already love in the first place!.Version: 1.20.0

Incompetent MODsI’ve been playing SoS for almost two years now. I’m one of your pioneer players and I’m half way to completing VIP 12. Recently, I’ve contacted the in game support and asked them to help me with my issues on Christmas Wish event. Three MODs contacted me and each one of them gave me their apologies for not replying soon. I got reply from each one of them after almost 48 hrs. But, none of them truly helped me with my issues and made me even more confused with their replies. My issues are still on hold and I still have an open ticket but the event has already ended. And up to now, no one is giving me the answers to my questions and all I get are apologies from them for not replying soon. So, I told them that I’m disappointed in them for being incompetent. And after that, my game started getting Data Error every 5 seconds and I couldn’t even play the game properly now because I have to Reconnect the game every time it gives me Data Error. That’s how they treat you when they don’t like your reaction to their incompetence. And may I remind you that I’m one of the pioneer players of this game. In my opinion, this game will only be as good or as bad as the kind of MODs you hire or as to what kind of services you give..Version: 1.14.10

Good game, but do not expect any help from supportI have been playing this game for more than 2 years and the recent migo world event has shown the level of support and care for their players. Overall it is a fun game, but if u ever have any trouble with this game, forget any sort of help from the support. Despite no announcements from the game, the developers will happily change requirements as per their fancy and when u get in touch with them to try to resolve ur problems, they will happily show u the door. Poor customer support and lacking empathy for players (i cannot stress enough not to spend ur money on this game. There are far better games that actually treat u well with the amount of hours and money u put in)..Version: 1.14.10

Don’t play this gameI played this game for about 4 months. I enjoyed the game overall, it’s your typical pay to win game, they are always trying to get you to spend money. I purchased a few of their in app purchases which went fine. But, after one update I purchased another in app purchase and never received it. After 3-4 days of lip service from their support and absolutely NO response from the technical support I finally had to have Apple refund my money. So please read the other reviews that have also had issues receiving support for in app purchases..Version: 1.9.51

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! Thought I’d try it but was thoroughly disappointedI wanted to give the game a try, despite all the other negative reviews to see if I’d enjoy the game. But after downloading it and completing one task, my game crashed with a data error. Everything on my screen would display as id_name or other similar wordings. Everytime I completed a task it would crash with a data error prompting for me to either reconnect, or speak with support. If I chose to reconnect the prompt would disappear but then immediately come back. If I closed the prompt it’d do the same. If I contacted support… well… it’s hard to gather evidence of your issue when your game refuses to load said issue. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling and got the same issues. My internet has no problems and my phone had plenty of space but yeah. I wanted to have fun but was kicked in the face with an error ridden disaster. I won’t be reinstalling this and I recommend no one else does either. Very disappointed. :(.Version: 1.17.30

Game is good so farGame is good but I don't see anywhere to redeem the gift code I have..Version: 1.20.30

Worst customer service everSave your money.Version: 1.9.31

I was an addictFirst the good: decent graphics, hero progression is achievable, game progression takes time and requires a strategic approach. With too many hours to spare the game can, almost, be played ftp. Now the bad: a new state starting almost every day means states are not able to develop, they are dead from day two or three. The first state intel is now all but unachievable, to the detriment of game play and character development. Events often require a cash purchase to complete them, giving cash players an advantage ftp players can never hope to match. Gitchy game play, just in case the dev’s actually read this I’ll mention Travis logbooks being found freezing the game and Horde wave clock being out of synch across players. In game chat is far too restricted, the dev’s other games (ie GoG) have chat rooms, not SoS, it needs them. Played for years, now looking for an alternative. Sad because this was a great game..Version: 1.19.20

Good game but marred by help supportOverall this is a good and highly complex game. Veteran players help newer ones which always is good. It’s is addictive and has many ways to pull you into the game at all hours of the day - beware of that. However despite playing for months, I am very disappointed at the bugs in game and the very poor support from the helpdesk. I purchased a bundle, it did not arrive. The help desk did not respond so I requested a refund from Google which was approved. Now the SOS game applies a penalty to my account for something I never received saying I have to pay that before I can buy more in game. The helpdesk have said they cannot reverse this penalty charge. To me that is immoral. I paid for something which was not received. I got a refund. Now the company tells me I have to pay them for something not received before I can buy more. Overall very disappointed. The game is spoilt by the drive to make money. I’d recommend the game otherwise but beware; the helpdesk are not helpful and the game has many addictive qualities..Version: 1.13.70

Dishonest, laggy, boring and money grabbingGame used to be good, played two years, now I am so disgusted by their immoral practices I am closing the account. So in April I buy something and they don’t deliver it. I get a refund off Apple so the devs send me a warning email that says if I buy anything again I will not be sent it as they will keep the money to reimburse themselves for the thing they never delivered. Raised a complaint, got what I thought was an apology and it was rectified. Today I buy something, they keep the money (again!) don’t deliver and tell me it’s to reimburse themselves for what they didn’t deliver last time (that was also cheaper). Oh and if I get a refund too frequently my account will be suspended. On top of that the game is laggy, constantly freezing up and so many new things to do. It has become a boring money grab. Expect to need to log in at least 3x per day and at specific times to compete in the various events, something needing an hour of your evening. It’s also boring staring at the spinning circle or clouds whilst it fails to load. And if you’re free to pay or don’t spend much, you can’t compete anyway. I’m done..Version: 1.19.50

Interesting while learning...gets boring pretty quicklyFirst up, the game play is nothing like the trailers. Got sucked into that one! You spend the early parts of the game following instructions...most of the time you don’t quite know what you’re doing. Eventually you work it out. Game play is very repetitive...basically you complete tasks to earn the currency...biocaps, and resources, needed to upgrade buildings and troops. Find an active alliance to join, otherwise you will be picked on. Ie others will attack you and steal your resources and kill your troops. There are various bonus events that alternate week to week, where you an earn more resources to speed up your troops and fighting power. This game in recent months has moved more towards a pay to play formula, where speeding money on in game resources is becoming necessary just to keep up. Paying players pretty much dominate...they’re the heavy weights with huge fighting strength..no chance for a non paying player. If you want a war game that does cost, or on limited budget...avoid this game! Also, iOS players are prone to double charging...and in game support is virtually non existent. No help in sorting things out, and just copy and paste the same response. In summary....don’t waste your time or money..Version: 1.9.40

Forced P2WI love games, I enjoy them as much as I can regardless of the problems. I don’t ever remember leaving a bad review for any game. That being said, this game will make even Ghandi come post some shhhht. The game can be decently fun and you end up liking how they set up pretty much everything, but the p2w system, which by the time you realize how bad it is, your stuck. I have had many issues with this system and I ended up shrugging it off because of how I am. The only reason I am still playing, is because of some nice people. But the only reason I am posting in here is because of how hard it is just to post a ticket about yet another error. So here is the copy and paste… I get at least 1 command manual every infected fiend level 3+ defeated. I made sure I had the 50 command manuals before I grabbed the ‘use 50 command manuals’ task for alliance throw down (including purchasing a command manual bundle). Once I started the task and could only use 44/50 because of the way you set it up. I needed 1 more to get this task completed. I have fought a whole bunch of Ifiende and wasted over 200 stamina. Not 1 command manual. Are you trying to make me spend more money???.Version: 1.16.30

RatedStop asking me to rate the game.Version: 1.18.5

Terrible support team. Cannot fix login issues they caused.Worked fine until New Year Update 2 days ago. Now, cannot log into game, only can go online submit and read tickets. They tell me fix game, it does not help, change internet settings, also does not work, offload and reinstall game, also not working. Pictures sent of everything tried, upgraded game, upgraded system. Nothing worked. Then someone said problem fixed and closed out ticket when still cannot log in or enjoy game. I have lost my continued game log in streak. It has been two days and had to submit another ticket. Soon this game will be replaced. There are games better than SOS with game developers that upgrade servers to handle login issues which are the SOS Game Developers fault like this, it happens every time these developers create a new update they do not invest into good game coders and when their game codes do not work, they do not invest into solutions, or upgrade servers to support their gaming player traffic. Game Testers like me have helped other game developers with their games, but cannot help SOS since they close out their tickets unresolved. After over a year of playing around their game bugs and unresolved login issues, I am about to give up on this game because of poor customer service experience. I have opened up one more ticket, but do not expect the login issues to be resolved now is the fourth ticket opened..Version: 1.18.30

No sure whyNot sure why I keep logging in. No sure why I even hit the buttons, not sure why I train troops,not sure why I care. This game has no point at first you have fun you build you grow then it all stops. It then becomes a game of well I’ll log in just to see if my people have been eaten, or if my supplies have been taken in a attack, it at the point of sheer boredom. So I’m not sure why I keep logging in and clicking the buttons. The constant updates got old 20 updates ago and that is not an exaggeration. The “ challenges” are not. The game is boring and the same all the time some events have been interesting but mostly the same thing with different colors so do one event and you’ve done them all it just repeats and repeats and repeats endlessly. You can’t grow or develop anything new after about week 2 so I have no idea why I keep playing. 3-4 months and I keep hoping this update will bring something new and nope. So developers maybe add something new please, games can be repetitive but really you are bringing a whole new level to so beyond the same..I hope you actually understand what I’m saying, and I hope anyone thinking of downloading this doesn’t, and I’ll probably unload it soon it really a waste of time and space on my device. But it’s become a habit to just click but it brings me no joy and very very very very little entertainment..Version: 1.9.51

Players are unheardI have been playing this game for over a year. I would call myself a moderate spender. I have invested $1,000’s of dollars. I am definitely a top 20-25 player in my state. My husband also plays, and he is one of top 10 strongest players in the state. So you see, we’ve invested a lot of money and time. Our alliance is ranked 2 in our state and we’re competitive on a global scale with players reaching the top 100 global leaderboard. Now we watch as our state and alliance dies around us. Players are leaving everyday. There is no replacing them because there are no players left to replace them with. The constant large upgrades have made spenders leave because their previous $20,000 investment is no longer going to be able to compete with the player that is dropping another $20,000 into the newest upgrades. The gap between free-to-play and pay-to-play is almost laughable at this point. To top off costs and the dying state components the game is incredibly glitchy and at game day reset you know you’re not going to be able to login. The rewards for the “everyday” events like bunkers and facilities, horde, plague zones, intel, CC, and SvS are so dated and really only help low spend players that are just starting out. Help save our dying states and reinvigorate gameplay in older states and not with events that just cost us more money either. You can do better SoS..Version: 1.13.30

Broken scamLast update made the game crash within 10 seconds of opening for many players. I can’t find anything on the official Facebook about it. Just find posts about the latest in app purchases available. All the comments are people complaining about the game crashing and the page not replying to or acknowledging any of them..Version: 1.9.70

Constant and Endless BugsGame is so pathetically bugged at times it is impossible to play even with the fastest devices. KG constant rams down new events without fixing any of the bugs. I guess the bugs are the features! So frustrating!.Version: 1.18.60

Lousy game with good marketingIf you do not like reading I will summarize it in 2 words fraud and scam, they also use personal data to earn money be careful. No support for any complaint, or every problem you go around not solving, they sell things that "by accident" are lost or the developers "delete by mistake" things for which you paid money, but the support or customer service does not exist, Be careful if you plan to put your money or time in this game, you are warned, and the positive comments written here must be bought or made by the developers themselves, once you enter the game you realize talking to the little community that exists there of the fraud.Version: 1.8.74

Miserably misleadingIf the game was anything like the ads, it would actually be somewhat decent - let’s say you get a survivor, spawn into an area with randomised but good starting loot, get to clear areas yourself and build you’re own base instead of the standard “clash of clans” style. if you want to stand out make atleast a linear game where your choices actually matter, and can effect the rewards you get or mission outcome based on your decision, with atleast a character(s) that we care about enough to make those decisions, a good example is State of Decay, where you can atleast chose where to have a base but maybe with this game you could add a feature where certain bases increase certain resources (like a base next to a lake increases food growth by like 10%, or a base near a wooded area provides 15% more materials) I know a mobile game is nothing like a pc game but take the walking dead for example you actually develop a bond with the people you are with. Where doing something will cause another character to act on whatever happened. I feel like so many companies we trying to cash out on the kinda “build a base but build it where we say” theme and it has ruined the gaming experience for me.Version: 1.11.40

Charged me twice for one bundleI had to get it refunded through Apple. Watch out ppl who spend money in this game! Check your statements!!.Version: 1.9.43

It was fun…not anymoreI started playing this game when lockdown happened. The game was brilliant and I got addicted to it, although as time went on, I felt pressure to spend money to earn rewards from the events given (battle power, power up) plus many more events. This game is definitely a pay to win game. Reservoir League match ups - Not fair at all. We played three matches and lost all three. Our alliance score was 13k+ and others alliances was 25k+. Plasma 4 vs Plasma 5,6,7,8. We were quickly zeroed out and couldn’t earn our reservoir points for another event called `MIGO’ and `YITH’. It was pointless playing in these events basically, which were an hour long. No fun what so ever. They said the lagging issues got fixed, but it never. The games lags and then sometimes you get kicked from game. When doing Trap, the lag issue is common every time! The developers need to fix these issues to make it a better gaming experience for all that play the game..Version: 1.13.30

Could be a great game... bullying ruins it!It’s supposedly free to play but unless you put in a lot of money, unless you have a endless supply of cash or your mommy and daddy‘s credit card you aren’t going to get anywhere but crushed. And the developers don’t care, or that’s the feeling that is received by everyone. There’s different levels that your base can be at and different stars your base can have. I’ve watched repeatedly as alliances that have eight star bases attack little alliances and crush level 28, level 25, heck I’ve even seen a level 20 go down under a 8 star base, because they don’t have the cash to put into it. There’s nothing to stop much much higher levels from killing states. Those are called dead states, and there’s a lot of that going on. There is nothing put into place to stop the rampant killing, BULLYING, that’s going on. The Devs could put a stop by just halting anyone from attacking three levels below their own, but that might stop the money from coming in and they can’t have that. It’s going to come to a point where everyone leaves and the only ones left are the credit card players, and soon they’ll have to attack their own. This game was fun, it’s just not anymore. So if you have a credit card it’s a great game for you, if you don’t have a credit card with an endless supply of cash stay away from this game..Version: 1.13.50

Thank youThank you to all that reviewed this game. I read the reviews as the game was downloading and promptly deleted it before even opening the game. I was going to give it a shot as they bombard you with adds for this game. Thank you for saving me time..Version: 1.19.55

Game becoming money grabThe game was fun when I first started playing 2 years ago.. even then the game was a money grab and it always has been but as time went on the devs have added so many different battle mechanics that involve paying money to be worthy enough to play and win every event. The prices of the bundles they offer are insane.. if you aren’t looking to spend $2,500 a day or even more to keep up as a rally leader or even to get close to some other players in this game, I wouldn’t bother playing. The game is also very laggy and glitchy. The devs rarely fix issues with lag and problems with how the game runs. I get multiple crashes and disconnects from the game constantly. I could go on about other issues with this game but that is basically how I feel about this game playing it for 2 years..Version: 1.19.50

Very bad customer serviceI have been playing this game for ages. Met a lot of nice people and if you have the money to spend it’s a good game. Been spending quite a bit but I was not getting the items that I was buying since an update. Told customer service and they where not helpful at all. They fixed up the last three purchases and that was it. Customer service just ignored everything else. They brushed off the bug I reported and basically told me too bad. For a game that relies on they’re players to fund them it’s really bad. If you can stay away or at least don’t buy anything. The customer service reps needs new jobs u think because they are really bad at it..Version: 1.9.43

UnfortunateThis game was once OK. After two years of dedicated daily play, I can say wholeheartedly, that the devs have really outdone themselves the last few months. They are the biggest group of money hungry, incompetent, selfish people you could ever imagine. Save yourself the time, money, and sleep by passing over this game. If you are NA, being forced to wake up at 3,4,5 am to participate in weekly events is absolutely unbelievable. You want to be competitive and show your power? You better have an unlimited cash flow, otherwise you won’t amount to anything. I have made many friends over my time playing. One thing I can say for certain, with the 10’s and 100’s of thousands of dollars we have given KG, you would think there would better appreciation for us; and I’m not talking about our alliance specifically but “survivors” as a community. No. Wrong. Not only is there the most microscopic bit of thankfulness, but, they are ACTIVELY DRIVING HUGE SPENDERS OUT OF THE GAME. If you have made it this far, I can assure you that you definitely should not play this game no matter what the in-game ads from other games show. And to the Developers and Kings Group, if you’re reading, you’re completely brainless and should listen to the community as a whole instead of the little pets you have doing you’re bidding. Maybe then you could have prolonged success. Shame on you..Version: 1.18.5

6 month playerIv been playing for a little over 6 months this game has started stuffing up its not loading and u constantly need to upgrade not only upgrade but when you try to get into the game it continues to say upgrade resources even tho it’s upgraded it always wants to be upgraded more to the point you can’t even play the game I was a loyal player and paid abit of money as well on hero gear and other items for it to now start stuffing up what a joke It’s every day updates are added and everyday for the past week I havnt been able to use the game because of resource updates and upgrades that went even happening iv lost out on so much already I don’t really see the point in continuing.Version: 1.4.25

European fraud law breakingI have been playing this game for about 9 months now and up until now was loving it. I have made many friends with people from all around the world by chatting to them in the game. Then last night a couple of my friends who I have met whilst in game have been defrauded by the developers, KingsGroup! They bought several packs of hero gear parts which were advertised in the game, spending around £85/$85 in the process (one person is in the UK, the other in the US). KingsGroup, the developers, then had the idea that the packs had been wrongly advertised and that the number of parts in each pack was too high and without further warning removed about 66% of the purchased parts from my friends’ accounts! Not only that, they also removed all of my friends’ hero gear DESIGNS, which were NOT part of the purchased packs that they were amending! These designs were both purchased in previous packs and won fairly in the game as rewards for participation in events. This action is against European fraud laws and everyone needs to be aware that it has happened. When one of my friends’, a guy called Thebs in state 50, complained to the developers, he had his account banned from making further purchases with a threat that the ban could become permanent! This man has spent thousands of £‘s on this game over the past year. To be treated in this way by KingsGroup is absolutely disgusting!.Version: 1.8.70

This gameIt has costed me 10000$ for a 3.99$ pack.Version: 1.13.50

It’s a good strategic gameThe open world the creativity of the game is very enjoyable the downside for me is you’ve got to be quick on your feet with this game and with games i like to take my time but with this game you don’t get that option which is a little disappointing and frustrating at the same time the infection breach is not very immersed into it and that’s where my frustration comes in is the infection breach you don’t need a infection breach to make a game more ENJOYABLE than what it already makes it out to be that being said if i had to overall rate this in general it’s a 5.5/10 it’s enjoyable but disappointing.Version: 1.17.40

Honest OpinionSince there isn't an updated Review on this game and I know that Reviews are technically personal opinions, but hear me out. This game is somewhat fun and somewhat boring. I play it daily and there's some pros and cons. I wish the cooldown for the Settlement Buffs were less because I can't take a 20 minute without my settlement getting attack and then I'm back to square 1, trying to make "money" again. It's also very simple to get currency in this game. I've only spent money on this game once and it's only been $4.99 other than that in my opinion, you really don't have to spend money on this game like others are saying. I also think there should be a mute button for messages that are being sent by Alliance members because they can be some spammers and it gets pretty annoying from time to time. Not to mention, that after you finish beating all of the "Boss" zombies to unlock your land that's it, there's no more boss levels to complete which is kind of boring because that was the only reason why I continued to play this game. There are mini version of the boss levels on a mini map, but I preferred the bigger boss levels you had to clear to unlock land. Like I said there's pros and cons, but overall 3.5 stars, semi good game..Version: 1.13.60

Scamming extra payments when purchasing packsDONT TRUST THIS GAME SITE Several times now when purchasing a $6.99 pac I have also been charged for a $13.99 pac. Have messaged help desk multiple times and have not received credits..Version: 1.7.43

You will spend all of your moneyThis game is fun with many ways to strategize for optimal play. However, the constant barrage of advertisements for $4.99 here and $4.99 there to enhance your experience are designed for players to accept without thinking. For those with problems of self control, especially during a pandemic when you’re trying to find an escape from the real world, you will easily spend thousands of dollars without realizing it. In order to be a top player in this game and compete for top prizes, you will have to spend $10,000+ and deal with sexual harassment, hate, bigotry, xenophobia, and a multitude of other undesirable characteristics of top players. I have created accounts in at least 7 different states in this game and there is only one state that has some semblance of organization. It can be fun, but it can also be financially devastating and gut wrenching for people looking for a simple escape during a global crisis. Along with that, there are updates all of the time that include major game lag and missed opportunities to participate in events due to these constant upgrades. I’m sure there is a better game out there where you can have just as much fun, meet people from all over the world, and spend a fraction of the money. Go see for yourself but heed the warning..Version: 1.9.91

Avoid this game. Charged incorrectlyI purchased some roulette chips in game for $6.99 and I was charged $55.34. I filed a ticket in game and submitted all information requested. Customer support keeps on using template responses that asks me for the same time. I asked what was I missing and they provided another set of instruction for pretty much the same. After days of waiting, the gave me a reply saying the items are spent and basically called me a liar. Watch your payments careful. I do not trust this game anymore..Version: 1.8.50

Fun if you you are richI have been playing for about 9 months but I am about to delete this game. It took me this long to level up to 30, and I have spent a little but can’t afford much. I could sort of see the top paid players in the distance when they were p3, but they released p5 and red gear, and somehow made it possible for the paid players to max out basically overnight. Now, it is a social club for me and I cannot contribute or compete in anything. The developers of SOS are doing no one a favour doing it this way. Many lower level players are quitting and the rich kids will just be sitting there in dead states with expensive accounts, alone with nothing to do. Just did SVS and was wiped out by some maxed out player in one hit. How is that fun for anyone? They told me they had spent about $22,000 on their account. To me, that is a house deposit, not a game. I would be willing to pay a monthly fee and maybe a few gear packs monthly for a fair game but the spend structure is just ridiculous and it is not even remotely fair. My advice is that if you are not able to match what you spend in rent to spend on the game, don’t sink hours of your life into it..Version: 1.11.60

Pay to winThe game itself is not bad but once you reach high level you hit pay walls. If you don’t pay you can’t compete. If you want to pay you will pay. It would cost me $540.00 just to upgrade my gear once (there are two more upgrades after that). And that’s just chief gear, not taking into account heros and hero gear. Rediculous..Version: 1.9.10

Ads don’t match gameSeriously dudes you need to make the ads actually reflect the actual gameplay, or make the gameplay more like the ads. What you’re doing is false advertising, at least put a disclaimer saying clearly that the ads don’t show any actual game mechanics.Version: 1.17.20

What a joke.Still getting random crashes from the game, they did get better for a short while. Don’t spend $ they keep moving the goal line ( level 30hq was max then came 3stars (lv33) and now we are on 5stars(lv35)), and won’t do anything for you when you tell them about problems in game. Also they have increased how much it takes to get plasma(needed for upgrading building with stars 31-35 currently) I always get a template response from customer service which never addresses the problems. This is a pay to play game don’t be fooled. The only reason I am still playing is because of my alliance members. They recently released an update with several issues, then had to release a update for the update less than 24 hours later and it’s not even in the store yet and this isn’t even the first time this has happened..Version: 1.9.50

In-game purchase fail - customer service lackingI love this game but recently attempted to make a couple of in-game pack purchases. My account was charged but the packs were never credited to my account. I submitted a ticket straight away, a few days later they got back to me asking for screen shots, which I then submitted. A week on since sending the screen shots they had made no further contact with me, so I sent a couple of messages to find out the progress, they eventually wrote back saying they were really busy and had many issues to resolve and then closed my ticket without resolving the issue. I have since creating another ticket for the same issue to seek having the issue resolved (either reimbursement of the money or credit my in-game account with the missing packs), yet another 4 days on and I still haven’t heard from them. This issue has been ongoing for two weeks and I still haven’t received proper support or a resolution. Money has been spent, items have not been received…. Please resolve the issue..Version: 1.11.90

Pay to winBasically it is a good game but like all you have to pay to get anywhere. The people who pay are obviously in the top alliances and bully everyone else. You miss alot of the game like fortress takeovers missing the good loot and rewards as they will attack your alliance if you do and wipe you out. Global can be very toxic. It’s a shame you can’t have a league where you can fight for occupancy depending on your alliance power giving lower alliances a chance to get some rewards. Shame as you miss a lot of the game. Getting your rarest heroes levelled up you can only do by purchasing things from the shop. I find running out of stamina is so easy and needs it refreshing a bit quicker. I like it but it’s full of bullies who trash talk...get in the higher alliances then your fine. Just needs a bit of work on balancing things out so lower ones can ‘have a go’ at the events more.Version: 1.11.70

Be careful of purchasesI bought a simple $6.99 bundle and found 6 google purchases for $90 made the same day. Never had an issue before this purchase, was well established in the game but had to quit due to this.Version: 1.8.30

Only play if you have money to spend to expand quicklyWhy does the game allow someone to be coninually attacked? Especially when that person is offline and in my case asleep. Ive been playing this game to take my mind off things and this game allows those who have had the opportunity to play for longer or use more money to destroy and ruin your effort and the experience of those who just are here for fun. The game allows those who are much stronger to attack weaker active players and multiple times within a short space of time. The game then offers some support for a price. So unless you’re willing to spend up big in this game don’t waste your time..Version: 1.9.50

Don’t waste your time or moneyWarning!!! Seriously don’t waste your time or money on this game. It’s a trap, for real. They allow bullying and harassment with no consequences. The trolls and disgusting behavior is allowed by the developers of the game. There is beyond disgusting things being said and done on the app. Don’t let your kids play it’s not age appropriate and really this goes for just anyone who is a decent human being. I won’t repeat the deranged things being said and done but know it’s scary. You can try to have hope because it has so much potential to be an amazing social fun game but instead it’s been taken over by the most horrible people. Many players lie, cheat, steal, harass are just overall hateful people that will stop at nothing to ruin the game for players. I wonder how many players quit over this. I wish I quit much sooner. The game developers could easily change these things but they choose not to. Just know there is nothing in place to protect people from harassment and bullying. It’s not a safe place and there are to many good games out there to waste your time on this one. For your safety don’t play this game it should really come with a warning. On another note there is a lot wrong with the game and it’s not going to be fixed so honestly pick a game is worth investing in..Version: 1.16.0

Money Hungry DevelopersI’ve been playing this game for over a year. Can’t even tell you how much I’ve spent but well over $5,000. Unfortunately they just keep putting out more and more new things to force you to spend. The cost of the items you need is ridiculously high and most event are focused around spenders. If you want to actually stand a chance to participate or lead a rally, win bunker fights you need to spend thousands and every 3 months they keep putting out new heroes that make the ones you invested in before irrelevant for the big battles. They went from 30 HQ - to Plasma 3* HQ - to 5* HQ now 8* HQ and these plasma upgrades are insane amounts of plasma and the cost to buy it is not cheap. The game maybe give you 20 plasma a day by completing dailies and your intel. But to go from HQ 30 to full 1* plasma it costs 1,650 plasma…. A crate of 600 plasma is like $70. From 1* up to 2* costs 1,900 plasma, and to 3* costs another 2,970 plasma… and it only goes up so just think about the cost and time it takes. They keep updating the game to make us spend more and more money but have not updated the games events rewards to be applicable for older states. Every week they have bunker/facility fights with rewards that most players can’t even use anymore. It’s not even worth the teleport to go there or the resources used to heal to fight for them. Every other week they do Capital clash or Server vs Server. Again the amount you spend on biocaps, resources, speed ups, and teleports are not really worth the rewards. These events also also start at 10:00 UTC (universal time clock) so this means for people in other areas of the world you need to wake up at 4am or earlier to participate and it’s a 8hr event. Reasons people keep playing because you create bonds and friendships, you enjoy your alliance mates and overall community. Also you feel you already spent so much money it would be a waste to quit… but at the end really you will keep loosing money the longer you play and the sooner you quit the more you start to save yourself. This game really needs to: 1. UPDATE THE BUNKER/ FF REWARDS 2. Update the intel and dailies rewards give more plasma and newer gen hero fragments 3. Stop pushing out new updates and give players a chance to catch up and enjoy the process they made. 4. Fix all the lag and connection issues kicking people from the game, making the game crash trying to build a tower or reinforce someone. 5. Bring the older states store option to spend alliance currency to restock items we need like advance teleports and shields in the newer states. 6. Make the CC / SVS a rotated time or vote in 3 times like the Fortress fights. 7. Hero vouchers should carry over to the next release since the cost for the heroes change anyways there is no reason to leave us with vouchers we can no longer use. A couple here a couple there could all stack together and be used. 8. They should add in presets for micro healing for big events and more troop formation presets. 9. We need bigger resource tiles and more ways to get plasma and biocaps without spending. 10. People shouldn’t have to spend $1000 to get an HQ skin many other games sell fancy HQ skins for $20-60…. Maybe $100 for a really fancy one. 11. The peace flares should stack or have a longer time. If someone wants to go on vacation with family and take a week off they shouldn’t have to worry about getting zeroed. 12. Just stop being so greedy for money and actually care about the people investing into your game, be proud of the accomplishment and put in some efforts to fix up problems and appreciate your community..Version: 1.13.30

Okay gameThe game is good but the people on it are just soo rude and constantly telling everyone what to do and throwing rules at you telling you, you’re playing it wrong, follow the rules. Meant to be a fun game just doesn’t come across that way at all. Enough with the rules people make and have fun playing a game not being told what you can and can’t do and play how you want to. What a shame because I enjoyed this until I realised that some people take it too far and ruin the game for others to have fun on and play. Definitely not a team player game when other players dominate other players telling them how they can and cannot play, what they can and can’t do and being soo bossy and rude. Get rid of state chat. People on it being rude and disrespectful towards others. If you didn’t want to play a team working game should of played candy crush or farm ville 2. Enjoyed this game but not so much now with the people playing it now.Version: 1.9.130

Game is good butAs all the other survival games low level guys getting harassed by the high level. I guess that’s the only thing high level people can do probably their afraid to fight another high player. That’s sad.Version: 1.8.50

Good Game, but don’t spend money hereThe game is fun. But you need to be very careful about where you settle down and where you choose to build your headquarters. Before you build, or invest ANY money, try to get a sense of the alliances there. Once you are there for a few days, you cannot take your HQ and move to another state, so you have to abandon it and start over. And spend more money. Many states are full of bullies, who destroy weaker alliances for no reason and force them to abandon what they have built. The game does not prevent the strongest players (5 star/level 35) from attacking anyone, no matter the difference in power. It does not limit the number of attacks or cap resources that can be stolen. People are openly bullied and harassed in the state chat by these groups. That is a BIG problem in this game. The developers do not respond or assist, even when presented with picture evidence of the bullying, copies of attack logs and other evidence. Probably because they already got the money from the players and don’t care. This game could be so much better and enjoyable for everyone, with a few small changes, and if the developers cared to stop the terrible behavior. But, so far they have not, and some states, like 493, have turned into dumpster fires..Version: 1.11.30

Rating DroppedWhile you can compete up to level 30 as f2p if you watch strategy guides to know your best options it eventually becomes “Spend all day playing AND spend money to keep up.” It is fun but unless you’re bored and have a lot of extra money you’ll likely decide you have better things to do with them. A lot of different things in one game: From challenges to decorating your base…am never bored. Can buy cool game gear but not required to enjoy the game. Stunning graphics and interesting plot. Normally don’t write reviews but recommend this one highly! (And you CAN share resources with alliance members via trading post….and you get coins to spend in store for doing so.) Update: Still enjoying the game very much after our alliance changed states. Dropped a star though because there’s no way for me to bring The Joker into my new state. So although he’s paid for I can’t use him unless I leave my alliance and go back to my old account. —-Devs please consider some way for players to import a limited release hero from an abandoned settlement to an active one. Otherwise this game is really addictive and they do work on ways to improve. The recycling center and other updates are steps toward an even better game. If they get me my Joker I’ll reinstate the 5th star and add update..Version: 1.18.40

Support is uselessThe game is fun, support is useless in allowing rape comments, sexual harassment, and unstable people to stalk you..Version: 1.11.33

ScammersSOS developers are greedy and money hungry. This game is just a money pit so don’t bother wasting your time!.Version: 1.20.0

Overcharging for purchasesI purchased a custom crate for $13.99 but when my credit card purchase alert came through on my phone, I was charged $63.22. I immediately submitted a ticket with customer service and it’s been several days now without a response to even acknowledge there is an issue or that they’ll look into this claim. Guess I’m making a claim with my CC company and not making anymore purchases in what otherwise is a pretty decent game.Version: 1.9.50

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IF YOU DONT HAVE MONEYWell hello fellow game players, I downloaded this game almost 1 year ago. Its fun, interesting, full of people but recently the game developers have made it apparent that money is more important than the players. This game is most definitely a power hungry contest. More power you have, more friends you have. Starting out power didn’t cost a lot of money, $20 here $20 there. No big thing. Now it’s THOUSANDS of dollars. You are now PHYSICALLY UNABLE to progress in the game at the pace needed to in order to survive. (Survive; you have your own army of troops, when they die, you no longer can play the game; stronger players kill your troops). I have spent close to $1,000 dollars on this game and It’s very heartbreaking to know that a majority of my fellow players that I have made close friendships with will now be unable to progress in the game and await our demise from stronger (rich) players. The developers will auto respond to this review and tell us “your voices are being heard” - “please contact us through the help message in game” but they don’t help. Our in game inventory goes missing, they don’t help, our purchases don’t get added, don’t help. It’s always automated responses. It’s really a shame what the developers have done and continue to do. This game is fun, you make a lot of friends and it is BEYOND time consuming but if you don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on it, please don’t waste your time. S104.Version: 1.9.51

Death Threats and abuse. Support takes no action. DANGEROUS game!I have been playing SoS for nearly 12 months and as a game it is fine, if u can ignore all of the bugs. However, over the past few months, I have been on the receiving end of all manner of abuse, harassment, bullying, homophobic abuse, sexual and racial slurs, culminating a few days ago with actual death threats… all instances reported to Support with extensive detail and screenshots, and all totally ignored with the standard “we take these reports seriously and have escalated the matter” Players using vulgar avatars (like actual vagina pictures with goggly eyes stuck on), having dozens of accounts, selling accounts… Players break any and all community guidelines and Terms of Service, and FunPlus ignores it all. This game is literally dangerous to peoples health. And FunPlus is obviously aware of this and refuses to take any action. FunPlus ignores it’s obligations under it’s own Terms of Service, which renders it liable for legal action. I sincerely hope that that doesn’t include wrongful death. I cannot more strongly encourage everyone to avoid this game..Version: 1.16.0

Game is so so.The game is not to bad, some good events and graphics are pretty good…. BUT, things are way to expensive and geared more to p2p. Resetting talents is the most expensive I’ve seen in a game! Yes you can use alliance points but even that is expensive compared to what you earn donating. The packs are pretty good but they have way to many events to close together that you would be buying $50 worth of packs a day just to have a chance in the events otherwise you really do just miss out on good rewards in the events. Be prepared to lag behind if you are ftp player. Little things like you don’t get to see by what % you get when levelling up a talent it benefit's your game play. Recalling a squad will cost you and you don’t get any of these recalls in daily missions or anything, same with speed ups for troop marches, you do not get them enough in daily missions so they will cost you as well! There are games out there that already do these things and are on par with this game if not better..Version: 1.14.30

GREEDY DEVELOPERS HAVE KILLED THIS GAMEI have played and loved this game daily. Been a regular spender and active player in leading alliances, never missing events for almost 2 years. Sadly the greed of developers have killed this game and I have just said goodbye to my friends here and my team and deleted it. The need to spend is continuous and is increasing and increasing. Events especially the new ones are becoming more and more impossible to achieve without spending hundreds on them and a new one pops up every two weeks on average and thats without the daily/weekly general spend needed to keep up to be able to win anything and not loose all your troops permanently at events. I know people that have spent 100’s of thousands of pounds and can still be beaten. Unless you spend a lot of money you can not play this game and enjoy it. To not be attacked and to win anything to grow your settlement and team it now needs you to spend hundreds a week to matter. The greed of developers have killed a much loved game and their endless court cases and being kicked off apple shows you they are just about money now. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS GAME..Version: 1.18.86

Very disappointedI’ve been playing this game for more than 2 years. I’ve invested around £1.4k in the game, but due to some health issues I couldn’t play for a while. During this time, the lovely svs event came along and somebody zeroed my account, causing me more than 1 million troops permanently lost. Now whoever plays this game knows how long it takes to train 1 million troops. I’ve contacted support, trying to solve this issue, but they asked for screenshots from before, as if I could have known that I was gonna be sick. It is extremely unfair. They could have checked databases, logs, whatever and give my troops back. Now I have stopped playing the game. I just log in from time to time to say hello to the people in my alliance. To summarise, the game is not bad. It has loads of events and is fun to play, especially if you have a good alliance. BUT don’t get sick, don’t go on holiday, don’t stop playing. Otherwise, everything you’ve built over the years just goes to waste..Version: 1.18.50

Read if you really want to know what this game is!So I am going to sum up for you what this game is really about… It is the same old every day open game, click a ton of buttons to get things you need to keep moving forward…. Very repetitive and boring… Yes they attempt to add in new things, but still just click buttons… A chimpanzee could do this… But to really understand how to play the game… A bunch of boxes of boring text pop up… It becomes annoying so you will eventually do like me and just close them… But if you do… you have no idea what you are suppose to do… Either way if you read or don’t read it is just about clicking buttons… This will only allow you to get ahead very slowly unless you spend a fortune… I stopped spending any money on this game… and not even sure why I still play other than I like my alliance members… Because I am not playing this because it is fun… it isn’t… and every once in awhile you will get attacked and lose a lot of troops… so will have to every few hours move levers to match the number of troops it allows you to revive… and this goes on and on and on for days to get part of your troops back… There are so many other games out there that are fun…. Skip this and play them… This game is really horrible… despite the false ads that make it look fun… If you just want to open the game daily and push a lot of buttons… if you like that… then this game is for you… for the other 99.5% this game is really boring!!! IJS!!!.Version: 1.18.30

Exhausting to keep upAfter playing the game for over a year I decided to write a review about my experiences both the positives and negatives, unfortunately more negatives. At first the game was fun to play I love how you can interact with players across the world and come together during certain events like resivoir raid, SvS etc. However after a while the game becomes exhausting as you have to contanstly keep up with the release of new hero’s, obtaining materials for upgrading chief and hero gears etc and as time goes on more and more things are being released which makes it impossible to fully enhance, not to mention that you are competing with players that spend hundreds of dollars and even thousands. Free to play players like myself do not stand a chance against players who spend. It has come to the point in which I have decided not to play anymore which is a real shame because not only do I love this game but I have met so many wonderful online friends..Version: 1.18.60

Don’t F’n botherThis game was great at first, got to meet new people and learnt so much from being in different alliances. But it wastes money and time, I have spent a vast amount on this game more than shopping and I hate shopping. devs don’t take our complains into consideration and customer services are slow. events aren’t enjoyable since rewards aren’t up to par. same rewards, only the whales are keeping states alive. in the end it’s become boring and not fun. compensation is a big joke. doubt devs will read this since they only care about their more positive ratings 🤪.Version: 1.13.30

Mid all aroundNgl it’s an ok game only downloaded it very recently yet it is still pay to win and making you do too many things at a time, I’ll give you props for this devs because it’s an amazing game yet still as all the other reviewers and people say it’s still pay to win and I know “ you can’t control them making in-app purchases yet I still feel like you should let us people who download your game feel like we are actually welcome and hat this game isn’t made fire money hogs and even if you do comment on this it will probably be saying please talk to our customers service in you settlement saying thank you for playing or saying please be patient for all the bugs. I know there haven’t been any major bugs lately but still some pats get laggy I probably sound like a 55 year old man rn but still fix your game and the toxic chats (chats haven’t been that toxic recently but still there is still lots of inappropriate behaviour going on in the chats. Lol can’t believe that only took me like 3.5 minutes to write. This game would make Elon musk bankrupt doing pay to win for this game..Version: 1.17.20

Game IssuesThis game would be very fun but let’s look at all the issues this game has had. Now these issues aren’t WiFi or person related this is the issue of the developers of this game. You are either a free to play a mid range to free to play or a pay to play, now you would think that when issues occur that players would be compensated for anything they lose because of these issues, well you kinda would be correct but not to a point where you’d be impressed but rather more angry than anything. Take in that when you have an event where you have to pick a time suited to when you can take part to where that time comes and you cannot get in the event and this has not only cost you bios for buffs but also the fact you might not be able to get the rewards and unlock stuff required for another event it’s linked to as they decide ok we will run this the following day but wait you can’t as your at work. So if you think ok what did they give as compensation well that’s the kicker they give you hero locator maps and some resources which they think make up for all the bio caps that costs an arm and a leg and the chance you won’t be able to take part so all the rewards etc..Version: 1.16.40

Great graphics, but that’s about it...!I read the reviews and thought that surely it cannot be that bad, but it is. It is probably the most blatant “pay to win” game I have experienced. The story line is average and you just seem to keep paying more money to achieve levels. You have to join an alliance or you cannot get past L10, unless you pay of course.... Once in an alliance you will get attacked time and time again, by other more powerful alliances, but I have yet to work out why? So people spend more time attacking each other than getting rid of zombies, which is the theme. Finally seen the light and deleted it......Version: 1.9.10

Requested full refund and termination of accountI left my ID number, IGN, and what state with evidence showing that what they got sued for last year, is still happening again, and I would’ve not known about the issue if there wasn’t an article about the company getting sued again for the same reason, but on a different game. However SOS still is doing the same tactics that they had to pay back when they lost the lawsuit. The sales that they have show you crossed out prices, and then shows you the adjusted discounted prices look like a good deal, but I caught the same price Crossed out, as what was advertised, and I quit playing after that. However they haven’t replied to my comments on the community forums and Facebook with my linked screenshots, and my demand for full refund of money spent for all of June. Then they can delete my account and ban me forever, because I don’t want to play a P2W game. They used to let people who played for free have a chance to get all of the items that’s now all locked behind a paywall. Don’t spend money on this game, and file a litigation against them for false and misleading advertising with malicious intent. I will contact my bank and PayPal to request my refund which is protected by buyers protection, and a Large firm on the westcoast will be happy to help with my claim, if I can’t get a full refund based on false and misleading sales advertising in game!.Version: 1.19.30

Game issues.So from what I can tell all the same issues r still happening and nothing is being done about it and it’s the same generic response we’re sorry but our team is trying it’s best and that just isn’t good enough anymore. I left this game about 7 months ago after playing, spending and getting on everyday for over 2 years ago now for the exact same reasons. Nothing was ever fixed or replaced. This game will take all ur money quick enough but will take a eternity to get ur resolutions fixed. I came back in to c if it was worth downloading again and a different game and yet it’s the same game with the same issues. Save urself the heartache and defeat and download something else worth spending ur money on..Version: 1.14.30

Expensive and Full of regular bullyingThe game graphics are awesome and the game play is great, BUT two issues: 1. You need to be prepared to spend LOTS of MONEY to get anywhere at a reasonable pace. 2. There are no limits on who you can attack. A L16 has no chance against a L 40. So that unless you spend money to avoid SLOWLY trying to build up (especially after L11), bigger alliances DESTROY everything you’ve PAINSTAKINGLY built up. You loose days of effective gameplay. It happens often enough and regularly enough that it feels like you and your NEW alliance is being RAP_ed and any money spent was just a waste. This game got two stars. No value for money at all..Version: 1.8.20

For anyone who wants to play this game. Sincerely advice DO NOT do itThe game has the worst developer team. Always sending out misleading information about events. For example in the billboard they said the event end by today but they will end the event by yesterday for no reason. They literally did not give any reason for doing any change. The support team does not exist. When you actively report any issue to them they don’t respond you at all. Not even a “sorry we will work it out”. They offer you every chance to spend money but they don’t care if you gain your reward or not. If you have spare money for the game. Please do not spend cause you are just a cash cow for them. You will get 0..Version: 1.11.35

False adsAfter seeing the ads for the millionth time I figured “why not”. Downloaded the game, it’s ok. The ads give 3 codes you can redeem for “tons of resources” “10 legendary heroes in 777 draws” great odds right? “Lucky2022”, “Nanami2022”, and “Treasure2022” are the codes. You apply the codes and get the rewards by in-game mail…. ok, now I have 3 messages labeled with gift boxes…. great so far so good. Opened the messages and got disappointed right away, only 20k of each resources (vs the quoted millions as per the ads) and NO HEROES…. zero…. no legendary and not even basic ones. And the icing on the cake was seeing an in-game pop up that features one of the “ad promised” heroes as rewards for first in-game purchase!! Really? If this is not false advertising I don’t know what is…. Seriously folks, save your time and money. Play other games.Version: 1.18.5

This game is insulting gamesI get a notification it is in a different language I am a Canadian .help person disappears often. there is glitches in the game .It is too long to get to stanchion from Stanchion . If that was not in the game it would be a 10 out of 10 game.Version: 1.8.20

How to take away the fun of playing... get attack by someone with 10x ur power!!🤬Have been playing for 57 days now and enjoying the game BUT I have seen 22 players from my alliance leave or become inactive ( we only had 45 when I started) because they were attack and destroyed by players at much higher level. Tonight just had a alliance player with 3.2 M in battle power be destroyed by another player with BP 32.5 M.... how the hell is that fair? The game already favours the top 20 alliances, why do they want to take away the fun this game could offer to those who just want to have a bit of fun? You need to lift your game SOS and make the game fun and fair for all... not just the top 20!!.Version: 1.9.10

If you not in cash rich alliance -Forget itYes game is amazing and updates made it even better however it is still geared up towards cash rich players in large alliances who have a licence to wipe any starting alliance or just one that is not cash rich or just does not dedicate every living moment to playtime. I am only lvl 18 so far (with just under 1 week of playtime) and I am already considering quitting as we are raided daily but same folks who literally destroy us and it takes long time and resources to rebuild. There should be some sort of break for players or tier approach where someone lvl 22 with high tier troops should be prevented From continuously farming other players often sometimes even 15 lvls lower. Bully Alliances ride lower players to no end and farm them for resources. Ridiculous. I understand this is a strategy game but don’t kill off the player experience !!!! Another thing is - general chat is filled with expletives and gender filled hate/comments, this should be moderated to a degree. Will give it another week but constant attacks and raiding resources will continue - I will quit because there is not fun in being attacked by someone with superior resources and tons of real cash to spend Sorry please do better to keep players !!!!.Version: 1.9.2

What the heck is with the combat manual changeWhy did you make the combat manual usage so slow now?! It scrolls through each point. I have 700 100 point combat manuals to use and it is taking so long i may drop the game from frustration. It is wasting my time..Version: 1.9.100

StorageThis game is a storage hog been playing for over a week and so far I am at 6.5 gigs this the most I seen from games on App Store. Can you slim it down thanks.Version: 1.18.70

IssuesThe game was alright till they focussed on pushing out lag based updates and server updates and now all it seems to do with high end connections and devices is just lag and freeze and drop out in connection where as it is as though all they are wanting to do is entice people to spend money in game without actually fixing the issues, it happens in numerous states where everyone is affected and it is now getting frustrating that I don’t blame any spenders to go through legal process which I can assist with to legally claim funds returned for faulty services that are actually deemed unusable and unacceptable in these situations as it’s at the stage no amount of updates is going to fix a server end when they can’t even function of upgrading it directly when such things get updated.Version: 1.10.11

Dont waste your time and money on this game!!!I wont recommend this game to anyone, developers just want your money, they dont care about your gameplay experience. After every update, there are much more lags and bugs introduced. Like the latest update rolled out, they changed Troop Formation and messed up everything. Market Stall is where free-to-play players used resources as exchange for game items, now that is swapped with biocaps, which can be bought with money. Why you need to change something that has been there and working well? Dont waste your time and money on this game..Version: 1.9.0

Poor spelling.I had to come write a review as all the ads always have poor spelling or grammar. Plus this game genre is bad. Wayyyy too much p2win. It’s liars. Not liers. If you’re going to make games then be professional enough to spell properly.Version: 1.20.20

Love it! BUT...I love this game highly addicted and happy to have spent money on it. There hasn’t been a game I’ve actually enjoyed this much until this game. BUT, I have recently hit a brick wall, I’m a clan leader but the alliance has hit a brick wall with the alliance towers and research because there are no Gas Alliance Nodes along the outskirts meaning you have to move closer towards the middle to get Gas alliance nodes, unfortunately it also makes it harder to move because clans already Staken claim to areas within the map making it harder for smaller clans to grow and build along side of them. Honestly there should be more Gas alliance nodes all over the map especially on the outskirts of the map so it’s fair for all alliances. Also there should also be a way to @ people in chat whether it’s one person or the clan as a whole. Lastly I feel like clan leaders should have more reign during alliance events for example Alliance Showdown, give the clan leader the chance to move people to different lanes. Honestly, I want to give this game 5 stars hands down, but there are just things that limit growth in the game whether it’s individual or as a clan. But I still love the game I just wish things could be added to the game ie; Gas Alliance Nodes around the outskirts, since there are already farm, wood, and metal Nodes. It forces smaller clans to have to move where there is no space cause stronger clans already taken up space in the central parts of the map..Version: 1.8.50

BEWAREBeware this game is both a gift and a curse but day by day, update by update this game is losing its ‘shine’ & the negatives are stacking up thus outweighing the positives heavily. Basically you will start the the game for the novelty of the game & then you may end up staying in the game for years all for the people. All for these devs to find more ways to steal your money & possibly even putting up with some serious emotional, mental,(or pvp) bullying from fruit loops who feel high and mighty in the game. The events that once you were excited for repeat beyond end and get dull and boring. Want to know average cost to max their Behemoth feature? £35K!! What’s worse is you may spend some serious coin all for the game bugs to screw you out of some reward. Will they offer correct compensation? No. Beware of that which comes from installing the game. Their newest updates will have thousands no doubt millions quitting the game..Version: 1.19.50

Broken/glitchy app - No supportThis game is super glitchy and crashes constantly. I’ll get locked out of the game for hours and have entire events or tasks I miss because of constant glitches and crashing. Events are basically “pay to win/pay to play” and so is pretty much every other part of the game. This would be fine except that I will spend the money, and it could be a few hundred dollars, on events, only for it to crash every time I try to load it and prevent me from playing much if any of said event. As the issues have been getting steadily worse over the last few months, as much as I loved and enjoyed the game, I am ready to call it quits. I want the money I’ve put into the game back because it’s literally unplayable. Of course the developers and apple support are both completely unhelpful telling me I should try and dispute the charges with my bank instead of trying to get help from them. I’ve never considered getting a Samsung before now. Moral of the story, don’t get this game. With as expensive as it is to play, it shouldn’t be broken to the point that it is often unplayable, and don’t expect help from the developers or apple when it doesn’t work. They knew they were selling a faulty product and so they won’t do anything about it to help..Version: 1.11.90

Stay away they steal your moneyI accidentally purchased wrong packages and contacted them for reversing the transaction and they refused to do that! Stay away!.Version: 1.9.40

False advertisingThis game advertises as playing first person in ads but it's just menu driven game. You're not a character. Very misleading.Version: 1.8.62

Toxic players & need to remortgage your house to playPlayed for about a month and quit, games pretty much dead and the few that still play are beyond toxic and the state chat is full of bully's with big bank accounts that ensure on a daily basis no one forgets that. States/Worlds are dying out quickly over the same issues. The developers have made it beyond impossible to play this for free or progress after a certain point with out spending a fortune, so unless you can compete with the people that are spending £35k (No that number is not a joke) or more a year on in app purchases then theres literally no point in playing this. If you do bite the bullet and try to play for free prepare to be a farm and have all your hard work destroyed in one hit. Side note - I obviously understand that its a war game and your supposed to be hit/lose troops but people go out of there way and are relentless in ensuring you can never rebuild or want to carry on playing..Version: 1.11.80

Great game terrible in app purchases.I really enjoy the game it comes with regular updates. Recent events are a lot of fun and it generally quite fun I’ve been playing for a few months now. I have one major problem with it the in app purchases let this game down. I’m not one of those people in app purchases bad never do. I will generally spend money on in app purchases if I feel as though they are reasonably priced however that is not the case for State of Survival while the game is easy to progress without in app purchases cosmetics do and the thing that really got me was you can spend £20 on a cosmetic item and it last 30 days. If I’m spending that kind of money I would want it to be permanent. The other issue is scaling the bundles seem very static and so when your starting out they seem really good value but by the time you get a few months in £10 can get you a fraction of an upgrade and when there is 30 something upgrade it’s like I’ll never buy that. I want to support the developers I enjoy there game but they give me worst then nothing in return..Version: 1.11.30

Terrible customer service. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEYI have been playing this game for almost a year. It has been fun and there are a lot of good qualities to it. What has ruined it is the lack of interest to their user base. I had made a purchase and the game crashed (the game crashes A LOT) and i contacted their customer service, which is pretty much a chat bot. Waited. Waited. Waited some more and nothing so i contacted apple. They issued a refund and thats when I received a response from SoS. I was placed in probation for requesting a refund and until i pay back the refund i would not be allowed back. WHAT? Lol.. i pleaded my case but they refused to acknowledge the validity of my claim and kept repeating that refunds requests are a violation to their terms.. what a joke... especially from someone whose spent a pretty penny in this game. When i submitted my ticket with customer service i had all documents. I had receipts, proof of purchase from paypal/apple as well as screenshots that the package that i paid for was still locked.. they still refused to see the evidence and only focused on me requesting a refund from apple. As if im supposed to wait a long time to request a refund.. this is a big community with loads of servers on discord. I’ve shared my experience in all of them and this has been echoed by a lot of players. So many issues with purchases and customer care not caring about it. So users beware, they do not care about you..Version: 1.10.20

Pay-to-win!Most casual gamers never get competitive enough in these kind of games to hit the paywall. But the moment anyone does, you have to make the decision of dropping hundreds of dollars on a game where the developers spent nowhere near the effort and money that AAA developers put into their games. Except AAA developers usually only charge you once and it ranges between 50 and 80 dollars. No joke, if you want to be competitive with the top players, you have to spend as much as they do and they spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on the last 5 tiers of Chief Gear and the last tier of Hero Gear. The game would be fine otherwise if the free-to-play crowd could at least grind for that gear. But you just can’t, it must be bought. Like most P2W games, the casual gamer reviews do not reflect the reality for players that actually play the game This is not a 4 star game. It’s a 1 star game because Kings Group doesn’t allow a fair and balanced playing field. To add insult to injury, their occasional survey doesn’t mention pay-to-win as a possible issue players might hate about the game. So clearly they’re not interested in ever fixing the imbalance. Do yourself a favor and don’t download this game..Version: 1.9.10

Wvery ad is misleadingEvery ad shows a “the last of us” clone but this game is nothing simular, false advertising👎🏽.Version: 1.11.40

The people ruined itWhile the game is easy enough and the mechanics are fun. This game is made for testosterone fuelled teenage boys. The fact that there are online chats with absolutely no monitoring system in place means, that you frequently get offensive messages and you can’t report these players. They can say and do whatever they want. Including but not limited to; racist slurs, homophobic slurs, peodophilia ‘jokes’, sexist slurs and violent threats towards women AND “why don’t you [EXPLETIVE] off. Then I can come over and [EXPLETIVE] your whole family.” the only thing you can do about these things in game is block the person. It doesn’t prevent them from saying these things to anyone else. And there’s no way to report another player which I’ve never seen in any online game I’ve played before. I’ve tried to contact the developer about this but had no response which suggests they don’t care about this sort of thing. You had me addicted and enjoying the game for about a month before I just couldn’t stand it anymore..Version: 1.8.50

Newest update 13thAugust 2020The new update today absolutely blows! They have ruined things that didn’t need to be messed about with in the first place. Sending marches is now more difficult than it needs to be, the whole interface is awful. It no longer assigns your strongest heroes into the first slot, it assigns different ones. We can’t rearrange our heroes so that sarge is first for example, it has to be infantry, rider, hunter. You have to expand the whole interface to be able to even equalise troops. When doing trap 2 days ago we were exceptionally close to defeating lvl 26, yet today we only just did half the amount of damage, so something has severely changed and not for the good there. The trade store is now gone and in its place is 2 other stores, one of which wanted to charges me 5k biocaps for one Nikola fragment 😳. Everything is gradually changing so that the only way to play the game is to put a load of money into it. I put enough money into it at the moment but looks like it's just money money money with each new update. I won't continue to play if this game becomes all about chucking money at it, and neither will many people. Be sensible game designers and make us want to put money in, not NEED to put money into it 😉. That's all from me.Version: 1.9.1

Update 1.9 was terribleThis game is good for what it is. It’s a zombie survival game. I mean I spend more time fighting other survivors than zombies, but whatever. I enjoy it for the events and the fun I have with the players. Overall it could be better for reasons I state below. Each update seems to have more and more things that players are not requesting and less things we actually want. Please listen to those who are playing your game and fix the issues. We can all adapt to changes and work with new ideas, but completely overhauling something that has no problems, with no reasoning, makes no sense and only takes away from the gaming experience. Many of us have put a lot of time and money into the game, so consider that before just trashing what we love about the game and take heed to our suggestions. There have been update that came as a request of players, and that’s awesome but more often than not it’s a patch or a throw in instead of being a planned thing. A lot of players are starting to get stuck in old states that are dead, so consider opening state moves or combining states so those players can keep enjoying the game. Take the time to focus on where your money comes from instead of how you can make more of it. Thanks..Version: 1.9.31

Don’t waste your moneyThe game is about war and power, it’s all good until people with money come and spend a lot of cash and zero you. Older states are getting dead and people are leaving game because they don’t see the point joining new states and spending even more money. Yes devs keep developing and adding new invents and so on, but it’s becoming boring to play as state is becoming dead and we see no point anymore to grow and it became a waste of spending money. A lot of people were staying for state merge, but as it’s not seem to be coming any time soon, people are just leaving accounts and popping in from time to time just to check if finally state merge happened. So overall the beginning of the game (as new player) seems fun and interesting, but if you don’t plan to invest and be patient you will struggle and might not find this game as good as it seems..Version: 1.13.40

Players bewareAfter dumping in 10’s of thousands they have now started trying to extort over $1000 to continue to purchase and receive anything. anything purchase is charged but you will not receive anything. they keep on changing what they say. there has been issues in the game that they say they fixed continually but never have but just make worse. they keep adding more money grabbing items in game so they make more money and you need to buy them to be competitive. be warned. many have spent 100k and have quit already, they do not want to spend another 100k plus and ongoing to stay at the top. Be warned, it may be ok for low spenders, the bugs and playability will never be fixed and expect to have to dish out more money… this is a never ending money pit. then when they get the whim, they will extort money from you so you can be able to spend even more money for the ton you already spent… talking with their customer service is a joke. don’t bother. there is not much apple can or will do about things like this as it is on the game developers side. also. all the new players will have all those new features. which means a lot more money shoved down their throats compared to long time players, which is already insane..Version: 1.16.30

Rip offBought the extra labour pack Still doesn’t work Bought it again still nothing Contacted support Told me I didn’t buy anything Sent them the receipts Still nothing won’t return money Cool game but they ripped me off.Version: 1.11.10

Good game with the same old storyThe game is fun and the graphics are very well done. But as is the norm for this type of game it’s fun for a few days then you need to shell out $$$ to get things done without waiting hours for upgrades on buildings or troops to finish. This game has good game play and lots of missions to keep you busy but once again it’s a game where the biggest players destroy the smaller players constantly so what’s the sense of playing. I don’t mind being attacked and losing a battle and resources but there no way to continue to grow when you are attacked and destroyed several times a day. Put a limit on how much a player can lose before a free and I mean free shield pops up to save loss of resources based on player level. I liked this game and even in an alliance you get destroyed. It’s a shame I don’t mind spending here and there to play but the cost of a shield is way too expensive. Just another good game that’s going to lose out on the volume of player to please the few big spenders. Such a shame this was a well designed game. It’s almost a great game. But who wants to grind and have nothing to show for it when your not on and have to start over. If you lose a battle pvp you might as well quit moving your base and a shield (peace flare) will break you wallet. I understand the game needs to make money but 100 small spenders will spend more than 1 big spender food for thought..Version: 1.9.91

Actually terrible!What should be a fun game is a total let down. The opening tutorial is slow, but once you get through that it opens up and is a actually lot of fun. After progressing so far in the early construction, you get told to join an alliance, or make your own. This all sounds fine until you make an alliance, or get in one. After this point I discovered that the state I was in had no actual set rules, bar the ones set by other players via discord. These rules only protect the top alliances and players and everyone is effectively on their own. As these rules are set by players, there is no way to really enforce them meaning that the top players often ignore them, but anyone else who breaks a “law” is punished by a pile on attack. Not to mention that the age requirement is 17 but clearly much younger people are playing. This has just killed all the fun for me honestly. Why companies don’t set their own in game rules, or enforce them is beyond me. Another annoying point is that, even for decent contest progression, pretty much everything is locked behind micro transactions. I’d give this 0 stars if I could.....Version: 1.9.110

They just want moneyI wanted a game I could get into and play for a while so I gave SOS a go. Initially it was really good fun and I enjoyed getting more into it, up until i got bullied by some bigger players and realised I needed to spend or lag behind. I’ll freely admit I did spend a bit of money and tbh that’s my choice and I saw it as just me having a game hobby in lockdown so I have no complaints, apart from one. Due to game glitches you could end up paying £5, £10, £20 on something you didn’t actually click on - to then try and get your money back or swapped for what you did buy is impossible. There is no customer service or interest in your case and you’ll just get lied to or ignored until you stop asking - you will never see your money again. The other issue I have is with the homophobic/sexist/racist language that constantly goes on in the game chats, I reported it around 10 times and nothing gets done, I saw people get bullied or abused and King Group couldn’t care less if they are still getting their money.Version: 1.13.71

DisappointedI have played this game for over a year now, and I have found you guys deliver the worst customer service for one, with no satisfactory solutions. The state merger that was the reason 90% of players are still in the game, has now been put to the back burner with new events released, has caused a lot of big players in my already dying state to quit. And we are not the only state this is happening to. I frankly do not think you care another your customers as long as you’re getting a good stream of money going into your pockets. This game could’ve been so much more, if we felt heard and listened to, instead of lied to..Version: 1.16.10

State of survivalThe only thing I don’t like is how the game always closes itself down and I have to reopen it and find where I was , but on the plus side the upgrade timing is not a huge jump from each other..Version: 1.10.20

Needs ImprovementDevelopers of this game make changes with little to no testing first, throwing ‘improvements’ at its players with little regard to their enjoyment or preference. The new march settings make the game very unenjoyable. It takes too long to join a rally and setting troops to join is now a much lengthier and more tedious process. So far they ignore all player requests to roll it back to how it was prior to their ‘improvement’. Additionally, their newer states are nothing but a money grab. Now that R5s can’t ‘stock’ the alliance store, every player has their own alliance store in which to buy items such as advanced teleports, alliance teleports, and talent resets but the store is completely random and does not give u enough teleports and resets. Often ur either stuck on war or economy talents and have to use biocaps to change. Or you’re stuck at base unable to teleport to bunkers because you only have ONE teleport to get you there and none to get back or you have none at all!! Of course you can use ‘biocaps’ again if u are p2p. Another UNWELCOME ‘improvement’..Version: 1.9.2

Money Grabbing Over Complicated GameI’ve played many online games over the years and whilst this is a good playable game it is ruined by the simple fact it is geared to getting people to spend spend spend. Top “players” must spend hundreds if not thousands on this game leaving the free to play players as nothing more than cannon fodder or farms for the pay to play players. Add to that it’s a complicated game that involves click click click and repetitive missions I can’t see it lasting more then a few years before the pay to play players get the credit card bills and the free to play players have left the game after being farmed to death. How could the game be improved? Put level limits on attackers. So a level 40 HQ can’t attack a level 20, reduce the costs of in game items and reduce the time it takes to do major upgrades. But that will hit the short term income so it ain’t going to happen. Shame as it’s killing what has the potential to be a good game..Version: 1.9.35
