Zombie Castaways 4+

Like it Better than Klondike

It’s fun and definitely can play a lot longer than other similar games like Klondike where cut down one Boulder and your done for next couple hours unless you buy the energy. The Z dollars purchased goes much further as well when buying items for game.

Tool wells, don’t like they run out and you have to have a lot on your island to have enough for tasks. There are times it seems no matter how many you build there is never enough; for the timed islands- which eat up tools quickly. Also I noticed if an area requires an pick mostly due to lots of boulders or a an due to lots of trees - you seem to get less of the needed tool. For instance when I’m not working an island I get all tools pretty much evenly. But start using axe a lot and the wells give less axes. Same with pick. Support said that is not the case. But my experience is there is a decrease in a needed tool from well. I will suddenly start getting more of the tools I’m not using and less of the tool I am using.

Like the game, hate the way it’s ran

I love this game, I love games like this where I can build stuff and explore new places. I have several issues with this game though,..as others have said it is beyond frustrating to have to jump through so many hoops to get tools, it takes so many materials and the quarts are hard to get, not to mention it feels like once u add a well one runs out immediately in order for you to not have so many tools, then u have to wait so long to accumulate enough tools to do anything on the islands. The game is pretty much designed to force you to buy zombie bucks and I’m sorry but I’m not spending money on a game, especially when the zombies only go so far. The other thing that really makes me mad is that you can’t get any more then 100 tools in each category, even if the well spits out enough to get u over 100 it will only let u have 100 tools which is ridiculous. I should be able to have as many tools as I collect. The game seems designed to keep u from being able to play it without buying stuff. I won’t buy zombucks, so the game is going very slow for me. If these things were fixed I would give it more stars, but I doubt that happens. Another thing is that they give you those bonus islands at the same time and give u time limits so it’s almost impossible to finish the islands before time runs out if you aren’t willing to use your actual money to buy zombie money to get those blades that cut down anything.

It’s a decent time passer

This is a fun game. I like that you can build different things and follow the tasks in any order. It’s a creative concept. However there are some down falls. When things first start out in the game the tutorial isn’t very clear on where many things come from and it’s a lot of figuring out on your own on where items can be gathered from as well as resources. I almost wanted to start the game over because I hadn’t realized that by going to the “new islands” at the bottom like it allowed me to I triggered timed quests that I’ve now missed out on because I didn’t have the tools to do them. The islands at the top you have to unlock. The number of tools it takes to clear an area sometimes can be daunting and it feels like the game is pushing you to spend real money, but if your patient enough you can make it through without having to. I’ve still continued to play the game, I do enjoy it. I do wish there were more ways to earn weapons with out them expiring such as the wells you spend so much time building that them to have them “dry up” so to speak. It’s kind of daunting, but it’s a good mean time game. It’s a gamble to do the special islands at the bottom that take up your resources for so called prizes. For now I’ll stick with it and hope for improvements on guiding you through the game and better responses to the tool needs.
