State of Survival: Zombie War 12+

Fair and unique

I went in to SoS with indifferent and honestly low expectations. The ads I’ve seen don’t do it justice though I know it’s a hard genre to advertise. I really like the multiple things you can do instead of just managing your settlement. I think the little exploration tasks and survival challenges really add flavor to it and are pretty fun. The in game transactions are honestly fair priced and you still get a lot of biocaps for completing missions so unless you have something specific in mind you might not even need to buy to progress. I like the multiple chiefs and their different combat abilities too. I think the events are pretty neat. The dailys are really beneficial too. If I had any criticism it’d be that it might be nice to have troops linger in the battlefield instead of completely returning. It can be a little cumbersome to have two intel missions right next to each other, 80km out, and have to wait 3 minutes for them to come back to send them out again. Though it’s entirely possible I’ve missed something. All in all, I’m having fun with it. Being in an alliance actually feels helpful for timers and such when in other games I’ve barely noticed their assistance. For reference for where I’m at in the game — I’m upgrading my HQ to 18 and I’ve been playing religiously for a week.

Fun so far!

I’ve only been playing a few days and finding SoS entertaining. I’ve found an alliance that is friendly and helpful and am busy growing my settlement and my game status.
Most games are fun at first, so I am not convinced that my positive feelings now will be the same later on.
I’ve played Age of Orgins for a couple of years and have seen a very cool game destroyed by greed and disregard for players who cannot invest thousands per week to stay on top. I understand that game designers need to be paid, but there has to be a better way, or at least a method of managing the game to give small spenders a chance. Otherwise, as merges occur, big-spending leaders clash for power, and there is no cooperation or fun in a continuous civil war.
In Age of Origins it takes days to replenish higher level troops, which equals months to make any kind of an army unless you spend big bucks to hurry the process. So many are reluctant to go to battle because the losses are so difficult to recover from. Visit any world in Age of Origins and you will see endless bubbled cities and hundreds of abandoned ones. I’m only saying this as a warning to the developers of SoS. Try to do better. Learn from their mistakes and let this be a game for everyone to enjoy, regardless of their monetary status.

Playing 3 years

First it is a little expensive if you want to advance. Second should be rated 18+ because of the spending and also it’s like a long distance Tinder for gamers lol. Also it’s serious people spend real money to grow and be strong there is no place for a 12 year old in this game. Next customer service is almost non existent, good luck getting a response on things that are not basic. States are dying for many reasons too much to list here but if they made it easier for us to move back to a state or to another game play would be so much better. It’s like your held hostage with no where to go unless you log off for 61 days and by then you are behind on heroes and everything else. Behemoths, aircraft’s, new heroes, temptest arms, so much to spend on it gets overwhelming. It’s fun sometimes and they have lots of options for buying things but no options for what state you can play. Transfer event is a headache and also very costly and not enjoyable, most quit playing around transfer event time because they can’t reach their friends. And without friends there is no point to play. It would be nice to get a free move option we could use once every 6 months if needed, game play and spending would flourish if they made it easier for us to move or go back to states, again it feels like being held hostage. So much more I could say but I will leave it like this.
