Extreme pay to win
Every update just adds more pay to win features, nothing but daily paid packs being released, the game has been out almost a year and barely any new story content has been added. If you want to pay/stay competitively relevant be ready to spend over $10/15k USD. I was hoping this would be a true resident evil mini experience and it’s everything but that. They love to release domestics yet haven’t done a single resident evil themed event, our first game collab is coming already and it’s monster hunter world themed, lol.
Awful
Wtf is wrong with you for looking at this? RE2,3,4,7,+8 are all on the App Store and you waste your time with this? This is worse than Survivors. This is worse than RE6 Mercenaries. This is worse than trying to play Operation Raccoon City on Steam - which is literally unplayable, you can’t even do that and it’s a more pleasurable experience. If you’re playing this, you have way more free time on your hands than you should and need to put some of that time to something more worthwhile. Like, at least playing a better game. League of Legends is more fulfilling than ts.
Doesn’t work on iPad
I have the game on my iPhone and I’ve had in on here for a month going on 2. I tried playing it on my iPad but it just turns off immediately.
Interesting but disappointing
The gameplay is surprisingly good for a mobile game but I can’t play this because of the inclusion of AI character art which surprises me because there is clearly a lot of care put into this game which makes it all the more disappointing that they would use ai for image generation especially when resident evil as a franchise has so much concept art that could easily been used for most of the characters.
Bad
Direct copy of things like palmon survival and other generic base builders. Never thought I’d see RE do such a thing. It’s also very pay to win. I put like 100 hours in this game hoping it would get better but it’s just slop unfortunately. Doesn’t have that resident evil feeling whatsoever.
No action
Gets boring fast no action 90% all farming
Every positive review is fake
Any review that mentions great characters or puzzles is talking about a completely made up game. The main character’s name is literally “Survivor” and that’s how much depth it has.
This MIGHT be an okay reskin of those base building war clan games, but if you are here for the RE don’t bother.

Garbage
So your game crashes, signs me out, I sign back in and EVERYTHING I worked for is gone? F’n garbage.
Brain rot garbage
Game won’t even let you play for 2 seconds without the game telling you what to do next treats the player like they are brain dead. Like stop telling me what to do let me play the game
Skip this game
The game itself is ok but don’t waste your time. The people are trash. Got booted from 3 alliances before deleting. You kinda have to be in on to get the full experience. To be clear, I was very involved in the alliances. Donating, participating is events. Didn’t matter. And the last time, they kicked me out, they attacked me until all my forces and defenses were shot. Game is completely pay to win.
Skip this game. It’s a headache.

Won’t open
The app won’t even open anymore. It shows the Capcom logo and then the screen just stays black until the game crashes and closes. Tried it on my iPhone and my iPad still nothing. Deleted and redownloaded, also restarted my phone, and also tried on cellular instead of WiFi. Nothing is working.
Horrible game
Randomly deleted my whole save file and when it made me log in again it started a brand new game In a whole new world. Horrible dreams for everyone involved with this making of this app
An unfortunate flop
I am always leery of games like this. It’s too early to tell how badly p2w events will ruin the game, but if they can avoid the same pitfalls that other games like this trundle into, they may be okay. The survival of games like these is heavily dependent upon server health-and the easier it is for whales to whale, the worse it will be for everyone. So, as a f2p player who wants to enjoy the community and theme aspects of the game, I am BEGGING the developers to be mindful of how heavily you favor payers. Bloodthirsty paying players can and will kill the game. I have played these types of games for over a decade-do not abandon your free players for the sake of whales who only want an ego boost from being the biggest fish in the pond. Updated post-deletion: the game has become exactly what I worried it would. Whales and bullies run the servers, and toxicity runs unchecked. Even reporting through the obscenely clunky reporting system with screenshot evidence of ban-able behavior produces no results. Female players are openly harassed and subjected to verbal abuse (among other things) by people who take advantage of their attempts at integration into the community. There have already been instances of photos sent in discord being used to threaten them with deepfakes. Women should not be expected to isolate themselves or just put up with this, yet reporting these situations WITH PROOF. WITH SCREENSHOTS AND LEGITIMATE PROOF. Produced ZERO results. So sure, play another money sink time-waster if you want, but don’t get too attached. The moment you rub the wrong person the wrong way, expect to be left to handle it yourself and risk punishment for fighting back, because the company isn’t going to help you.
Will not load
Since the update it states on a black screen after opening the app

False Ban
I had a duplicate charge for upgrades and when I disputed it I was given the refund. Next day I went into the game was notified I was permanently banned. Given link to reach out but the kicker is that they need all the profile info but I can’t get that because of the ban. Loved the game until this happened.
Cash grab
Embarrassing game to release. Just a money grab clickbait game, locks heroes behind 10 dollar ads. Every 3 mins another “promo flash sale”
My account was forcibly signed into
After 2 1/2 weeks of playing this game and spending a fair amount on upgrades I tried logging in and a box popped up stating “Your account is being forcibly logged into” and then kicked me out. When trying to log back in there was a suspicious mandatory download all of the sudden that would not let me in unless downloaded, I checked the apple app updates and there were none! I did not download but started the unending quest to find help. After hours of searching I found a few email addresses I could send my issue to, after 4 days of emails and only automated responses I removed the link with my apple account to the game and shut off Apple Arcade (why spend money on unsecured game play). I finally received a response in Korean stating don’t worry about the forcible sign in and to go ahead and download the update from their server????? No way, this seems very suspicious since there was no update in Apple Arcade for this game. So more or less I lost money to a game that doesn’t provide security with their servers…. Thanks for the valuable lesson, trust nothing….
Another pay to win
Logged in and played for a bit. Another played to win game as usual. VIP system and cash shops to progress nothing new.
So far, not too bad I mean I would like it more if I had more control over my character
I mean to be honest I’m not having too much control with my character not having really a lot of free range. It’s kind of not like the resident evil games plus sorry but I start falling asleep when I have to read all the words like why are they not just talking it would be better if they were just talking instead of us sitting here trying to read all of them sorry but I’m one of those player versus player type for people I don’t like having to spend hours. I’m trying to level up a couple buildings and gates besides the computer does most of the work so it’s starting to get kind of boring actually I probably only been playing this for a half an hour now and I’m already very tired because I know the farther I go and making the buildings once they hit past level five it starts taking forever almost 2 hours three hours sometimes even five hours just to build one building and I don’t have time to waste on that.
RE:Tap and Wait
I love the RE IP but this game feels like there is no gameplay. It does not feel like my choices matter. I am constantly waiting for building and resources and the tower defense style is not engaging. I want to support RE games but it’s hard when I don’t feel like I’m doing anything.
Could be better
It’s a good game when it works, crashes way to often for reasons I dont know. When it works it’s a good game only issues I have are with the constant crashes and that certain characters are only obtained by spending hundreds of $ on them which is ridiculous.
New Update ?
I really can’t believe it, I’ve been playing this game for over a week now and I love this style of gaming so much. Resident Evil is one of my favourite game franchises, and I love the system of this game. It is truly addicting, so when I found out on the news of a 30 day update starting tomorrow, I was truly in shock. More over, the events I’ve been grinding for and planning strategically for has now gone to waste for this. This is really unexpected, I would like a response as to what this update will bring and if the Ace’s Proof event will continue after the update as I have spent so many resources and TIME trying to obtain Leon S Kennedy in the event and progressing ranks.
Too hint pushy and PvP???
The feel of the game is decent and I get that I just started the game, but the feel of “oh no, the player paused for 1.5 seconds, let’s give a hint!” is very annoying. I know how games work and I don’t need a locked in instruction like I’m a toddler. Like the bookshelf puzzle, as soon as you get the book, the game doesn’t want me to click on anything other than that bookshelf. I can’t get the quest reward yet, there’s a book to put away! So I do the puzzle as the game forces me to do and … still can’t do anything I want because the game obnoxiously wants me to explore the mansion. And if I wait one seconds while looking at the facility, the game will obnoxiously remind me I have a quest reward… yes, I know. I can read. If I’m in a level and walking the “wrong” direction or pause for a second, the game will blink at me to remind me where my objective is. It feels like uncle Carl jingle jingling his keys in front of the newborn to get its attention for the camera. And this is a resident evil game! You are supposed to search for survivors, not attack and pillage them! PvP completely goes against the idea of the game. Resident Evil is not the same premise as Walking Dead. If it was WD, PvP would make a little more sense because in that universe, all the survivors are competing for resources. WE DON’T NEED PVP IN EVERY GAME!!!!!! Stop forcing it.
