Login Issues
Game is freezing mostly when server have events customers support is so bad no one reply now I can’t log in to my account when we are in middle of battle.
Sucks
Very clickish. If you don’t chat 24-7 you won’t do anything. They will shut you out.

Need contact back - Game kept crashing and logged me out
Had to delete app due to it crashing every couple minutes. Then to my surprise when I redownloaded, it logged me off (I’ve had to delete and redownload before and it logged right back in). Super frustrating as there’s no updates needed and I can’t do much without game crash
Not what it seams
Trust me when I say that this is the biggest clickbait Scams of all time!! I swear that with every stupid add that I see a want to scream at how misleading this game is and when you finally download after seeing 40 adds on YouTube about this game that the gameplay also is awful and is another crime against humanity and should be permanently removed immediately from the AppStore from these stupid click baiting advertisements. I’d rate negative stars if possible on account of how terrible this whole swindle is. Would not recommend 100 out of 100 times to everyone wanting this awful game.
Misleading ads
Downloaded it based on an ad - the ad showed a totally different game. False advertising = bad review.
I want the game from the ads. Not this.

Great Game But
Awesome game if you want a simple action strategy game but once you reach a point where your infirmary takes 10+ days on the MOST active pvp day and the only way to speed it up is money because you have most of the healing boosts already. You’ll definitely want to stop playing by the 10th time that happens and no feature gets introduced specifically for that day to solve the issue. Don’t need it the whole week but probably on the day you want us fighting. (Skill issue but it’s still annoying because YOU are the one fixing it for the rest of the week or more even with tech, all over one day or less than 10 minutes of no shield)
Another cash grab
The game is literally white out survival with a different wrapper. It’s a shame the way the servers are set up… Asian markets dominate this game… it’s pure chaos and 100% pay to play… if your F2P don’t even bother downloading anything from this developer
Not as advertised 😭
You’re not choosing where and what to build It an ordinary building game that’s boring
False advertising
Switch bait, show you something on the advertising, but provide you something totally different on the actual game. It’s unfortunate the game companies have to resort to these methods. Why not just make a better game, and actually create your ads from the game. Whether it’s good or not doesn’t even matter to me now. Deleting false advertised game and won’t download anymore from this company.
Bullying/Harrassment
The developers allow players to bully others and harass others! An autistic young lady joined thinking it would be fun and we spent a little money so she could get a good start and everything was going okay… “until”… Until other players decided that it’s okay to bully her! And she’s not the only one! There are other reviews from other people all over the internet talking about how they too were bullied and harassed by other players and the game developers do nothing about it! They actually allow it! I personally play Evony, The Kings Return and people on that game act like adults. They don’t bully! They don’t harass! They play the game and they know how to forge alliances! This game is a great idea, but you need to get control of the players before they land you in court!!!
Fake scam
Not the real game do not download totally different don’t waste your time
Don’t download this game.
This game is such a huge disappointment. First of all, it is NOTHING like the ads portray it to be. So if you’re wanting that same aesthetic and game play, don’t even bother downloading. Secondly, this is such a “gotcha” game - the first time you open the game after reset, you are hit with at LEAST 6 different pop ups trying to get you to spend money. Third, and probably most frustrating for me, is the fact that your shelter can be attacked MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE SAME PERSON. I’m all for game combat, but it personally does not make sense to me that my shelter, troops, and resources can get DEMOLISHED for the simple fact that my peace shield expired and within minutes, someone is attacking me. Furthermore, I have communicated this complaint to the dev team, to which they asked that I privately reach out to the game’s customer support team. Yeah, no thanks. I will publicly post about how ridiculous these issues are, especially the last one. I am truly just about finished with this game; I seem to be holding on for the simple fact that I have regrettably spent money on this game, and I have progressed far enough that it’d feel like a waste to just delete everything.
Aml in all, I really wouldn’t waste my time, energy, money, or brain cells on this game. You’re much better off.

Generic but zombie skinned
It’s like many other games with a zombie survival skinned on top. Has some good ideas with their a.i. ads but this game sucks.
Catfished
What you see in pics is not what you play.. catfished.
Game crashes
This game could be good, but it crashes too much
Same ol same ol
Played white out survival? Last shelter, king shot? Or half a million other games that are NOTHING like the ads shown for this game? Well it’s the same thing. Nothing new.
Bad
The ad is deceptive! It is a lie! You don’t get to pick anything, it looks nothing like what it says or talks about. Lawsuit? Possibly,
scam
not like the ads
Pay pay pay and no play
If you feel like being a pawn or play thing for the rich to control it’s your game. The biggest gap in players who pay to those who don’t ever.
Also the false advertising the game displays as a preview is nothing like the game. All fake not one thing from actual game.

Not as advertised
Just another boring story line game like clash of clans. Nothing like what was advertised.
Misleading ad
Poor gameplay too
Developers need to stop advertising games that aren’t the same as the advertised game
Game is nothing like advertised and is just a time drainer that plays like many other games…
“Not the Game That’s Advertised
This may be the most misleading App Store listing I’ve seen in a long time.
The screenshots show what appears to be a third-person zombie survival game. The actual game is a resource-management/base-building game viewed from above. These are not remotely the same experience.
Imagine downloading what looks like The Last of Us and getting Clash of Clans with zombies instead.
I deleted it after realizing the gameplay being advertised was not the gameplay I was actually getting.

Ad leads you on
I hate games where the ad is way better than the game this has nothing to do with being able to pick your own shelter an grow it
False Advertising
The pictures shown are absolutely not what the game is like.
False
The game is completely different from the add you see now
Game not as advertised
Game ad looked good. Got into the game and you didn’t choose your place to start. It starts you off with a bonfire and building basis smash buildings like kitchen and hunters place. Played 15 minutes and it didn’t grab my attention like the ad had. Uninstalled it.
It’s not even like the adds
I got this game because I though it was going to be like the adds but then when I got it it was a not even close to what the add was.
Bad
u
Misleading
The game is nothing like the pictures in the Preview or the ad
Next time create an actual game.
Why not create a “game” instead of a story about your idea for a game.
This is the typical bait and switch used by people who 1. Don’t know how to create a game. And 2. Consider people too stupid to figure out how to play the game. As a result the players get led around the game set by the hand are constantly told “push this icon, and now push this icon, just for the opportunity to read about a game that would probably bore a six year old to tears.
If this is the best you’ve got get out of the “game” business, because you ain’t got what it takes.

Typical
Nothing like the adds. Didn’t get to “select my own base starting point”. Just your run of the mill builder game, nothing special.
Not a good game
Does not look like the ads when downloaded it’s a hole different game
Nothing as advertised
This game is nothing as advertised. Exact same as the rest. Like AoEM, ROK, white out and other. Have to upgrade the castle or furnace and buildings. Max commanders etc. Nothing what was shown
Garbage
Just don’t do it.
Fails
Fails advertising it’s noting like the videos you see on Facebook i don’t know why they can’t just make videos of the actual game but don’t waist your time like I did
Wasn’t what it said to be
I don’t like games I have no control of what I want to do. The ad said at the start of the game you picked your own shelter. It is a lie.
The Ad & Game Aren’t The Same
I Was Hoping To Play The Game That The Ad Shows But It’s Not Even Close
Fake
Don’t look like this at all
False advertising
The game is not anything like the advertising i quickly uninstalled when i realized it was completely different that what was advertised
Trash
Neither the adds or pictures actually show you what the game is like. Pretty trash.
Bait and Switch
This game doesn’t appear to be anything like the advertisement. There’s no underground, treetop, cave, etc. select your spot to build and go at it like it shows in the commercials. Big disappointment.
False Advertisement
So I found this on a FB ad and looked intriguing but as I got the app and started it up…. It’s nothing like how it looked in the previews and as well as pictures on this app itself. So then I became uninterested. Make your ads and pictures right!
Lies
The game doesn’t look anything like the pictures posted at all
Not what you see
Not at all what you see on the ad. It’s a lazy copy of games like mobile string and rule of survival. Don’t waste your time or money… a lot of money.
Not same game as ad
I like to play a game when I have time to play. Game starts out for, building your village, but when you constantly need to be in the game because you have to be in an alliance, then alliances requires you to download another app for more communication. I have a life to live. This game requires you to miss real life experiences.
Fake
Fake game
Fake ads, misleading advertising
You cannot pick your shelter to begin with and nothing in the ads is like the game. The game would be okay if the company told the truth about the game to start with.
👎🏾
It’s nothing like the previews show or hint at this is pretty much last z: survival shooter all over again
