It's a decent attempt at the TD genre on a mobile platform. Unfortunately, it felt like I hit a pay wall while I was still in the prologue. If this were polished up a bit and gameplay balanced toward, you know, gameplay instead of IAP, I'd consider buying it on PC or console. As it is, I uninstalled it because I don't feel a game should require purchasing multiple VIP packages in order to feel like you're making progress in the prologue.

I've been Playing for a year now, it's gotten very boring and is nothing but cash grab events. The graphics and game play pulled me in, however they weren't the same graphics advertised. This game has been just constant bombarding to buy. It's definitely pay to win game. its just too expensive to maintain power, as well as keeping up with the constant new (only money can buy) features.

The game was very enjoyable at the beginning, but all the 5 second delays on everything and the game lagging hard at times make it a hassle to get stuff done. And when you get to lvl 20, the difficulty spikes significantly basically feeding the urge to p2w. The game gets less enjoyable the farther you get because you will get to a point where you just leave the game and just come and check on it every once in a while.

Played for about 3 hours in total. Got to level 7 outpost. The game is not aggressive with micro transactions, so big plus there. I understand and respect that free-to-play games need to make money, and SoS does not pinch your purse (at least not in the way early game, can't speak for late-game) The issue is the core gameplay loop. It gets repetitive fast and it's not engaging enough to hold me. P.S. 1 star off for deceptive advertising. The game is not a survival RPG like some ads will show.

The game is fun, better than the other games of this style. But it is becoming more and more about the amount you spend, the developers are getting greedier and its ruining the experience. Thanks for responding. While what you say is true, you certainly don't hesitate in having multiple events centered on spending money going at the same time. People will spend no matter what but the only way to stay competitive is too spend. It is a pay to win game plain and simple!

After a days worth of play, the p2w model becomes very apparent, and I quickly decided to delete. You can tell they're hiding something by their lack of actual game screens on their download page, and while the whole thing does have a decent art style, it doesn't do much to disguise their money making scheme. I'd rate it 1 star, but like I said, the art style is pretty nice, but it's a shame they had to waste it on a microtransaction fest. 2/5.

I played for about a week. It's generic. You wait increasing amounts of time for things to get finished and you occasionally click for resources. There's no danger with zombies. And you're supposed to attack other survivor settlements and alliances? You know, like every other "clash of clans" etc style game. Then you get to a point where you mindlessly collect day after day or you start paying money to get somewhere. Their responses to reviews are just copy and paste scripts.

I enjoyed this game mainly for the interaction with other people aspect. If you want to just play and not be competitive, this is a decent game. Unfortunately, in order to be competitive in pretty much any way, you have to pay $$$. During the later stages, if you are a F2P player, it takes months to upgrade from one level to the next unless you are extremely lucky due to the limited supply gathering that is required for EVERY SINGLE upgrade.

Gets boring after like lvl 10. I haven't paid for anything and don't plan to either so I'm sure I'll quit playing it rather quickly as it seems like the main purpose is to battle other players rather than a actual story. Keeps me busy at work but now that it takes 5 or 10 hours to upgrade my buildings I've been playing less and less oh well. It was kind of cool.

Free to play but not free to be competitive. Everything in the game is based around money. I've been playing for years and every event is the same. Each week, every holiday the same old thing. I would of quit a long time ago if I didn't get in a good state or in one of the top 3 alliances. But lately the game has become really shady with prizes in these events. Joker, lucky ticket, and aircraft. Maybe stop spending so much time on thinking of ways to make money, and fix the issues with the game.
