Left to Survive: Call for Dead 17+

Really fun, responsive. Perfect difficulty

(I’d give this more of a 2.5/5 if I could, but I can’t)
Game seemed promising at the start. Graphics are great, there’s weapon upgrades, camp/base upgrades, a PvP area and even a optional “side” game where you destroy other camps from a helicopter.
But soon enough, the main story line wraps up after only 3 chapters and what you’re left with isn’t much. Countless side missions that take anywhere from 30-60 seconds to complete are needed to be played over and over just to obtain enough money or gears to upgrade your weapons, which become boring and monotonous after the 10th time due to a lack of variety in scenery as well as the orientation and directions at which the zombies come at you. It becomes VERY predictable.
You have several areas in your camp that need upgrading just so you can .... update other parts of your camp...? Like a never ending circle that never benefits your gameplay. You can only upgrade one area at a time (which can take up to 5 minutes to 16 hours depending) and when you wish to do two at a time it says “coming soon” which implies to me they released this game without thinking certain aspects through. For example: there are these little areas you have that produce oil and materials and such at your camp. You use these to upgrade parts of the camp which help you produce more to upgrade more......
It never really leads anywhere as to why you need any of it in the first place. Make more to upgrade more to make more and so on and so on...?
This aspect is what also makes the helicopter raids boring after a few days. If I have a successful raid, I “win” oil and materials. But what good is that when I’m making more oil and materials than I can store and know what to do with? I can’t use them to upgrade something because I’m already upgrading something with the copious amounts of oil and materials my camp is producing!
The helicopter raids themselves are like a rollercoaster ride, one tracked. You know where it’s going, never deviating from the usual circle around the camp - again, soon to be predictable and monotonous. I just stopped playing altogether after maybe the 4th day.
You also gain pieces of a whole (an overall “puzzle”) to gain special survivors or weapons but I am still receiving pieces to guns I have, so it’s not very rewarding to have pieces that are useless. The other guns I don’t have pieces for, I never seem to even get a singular piece for. And the survivors I gain don’t really do much so whether I have them or not isn’t even noticeable.
And the PvP is okay for a while till you are up against someone who destroys you while you are crouched down and (supposedly) out of sight or harms way. Those matches last about 20 seconds and then they’re done. Again, the rewards here are just as useless and after a while and you wonder what the point of playing this is all for.
Throughout the game you receive cash for jobs as rewards and sometimes gold, which is the premium currency. You can use this gold for special weapons or hurrying your upgrade times. In about 2 weeks I accumulated about 400 gold for free, which is the equivalent to obtaining it instantly for roughly $30. I’m glad I never did buy any of it and feel sorry for those that did because now that there seems like nothing to do but run around in circles in this game, I feel like it would’ve been a waste of money had I done so.
Overall, it was something different I enjoyed for almost 2 weeks but without a progressive storyline or rewards that make sense, this game falls flat of it’s face fairly quickly, no matter how great the graphics are. It has a lot of promise and a solid base to expand from, but when I try to find more out of a game and realize after 2 weeks that there just isn’t, it shows that there was a huge lack of sight in what should be done to keep players around for wanting more. Maybe others enjoy this type of repetition, but I’m done with it.

Gameplay is on point, good story
