Mini DAYZ 2 12+

A beautiful, buggy messterpiece

I was hasty in my initial judgement. Partly because I went in expecting this to be the same as the first Mini DayZ. However, this game, as an idea, is incredible in its own right too. Melee and zombie avoidance becomes much more viable unlike the first Mini DayZ, and there’s this legitimate feeling of fear that arises as you struggle to gather whatever scrap and materials you can to upgrade your base. And the base building mechanic itself isn’t terrible at all. The currency “Fuel” doesn’t actually allow you to become a pay to win player, rather it simply lets you upgrade buildings that can heal your survivors and repair your items at a faster rate. Of course, there are still bugs. At the early stages of your base, sometimes you won’t be able to upgrade your buildings even though nothing is being upgraded at the time, or you have enough lumber. And the item icons sometimes glitch onto your screen while dragging them across and into your inventories. Other times, you might become glitched while leaving a zone, and will be forced to close the game window and reopen it. But all in all, there’s a much more encompassing feeling of DayZ on mobile that’s done much better here than the first Mini DayZ. To that, I say, well done developers.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the honest review! We will do our best to get rid of all the bugs and implement new features and challenges. Keep surviving!

Hype train wreck

I’ve never been so excited and then disappointed like this in a game ever since no mans sky. Mini day z is one of my most favored games of all time, in fact I remember being among the very first people to write a review for the first game. What really bothered me about this sequel isn’t the bugs I would’ve still rated it 5 stars if it were only bugs, sadly that isn’t the case. The reason this sequel is such a failure is because of the fact that it lacks the very meaning of mobile gaming since you require a constant internet connection this is a survival game not some moba. I’d prefer to buy the game for 7$ than to play an online version of it.

Honestly the game isn’t even that complex so I assume you made it this way so that people wouldn’t use the calendar glitch to speed run thought it, and watch ads instead. But you made a big mistake with this attempt, because people used to watch ads more frequently on the first game to obtain special rewards the fact you need constant internet will be the downfall of this sequel. Now much like most dedicated mobile gamers I will have to delete the game until this problem is fixed because it’s just taking up storage at this point most mobile gamers don’t have time to waste on an online survival game like this. Also we would appreciate if you didn’t waste our time please mention the fact that you need constant internet connection in description. What you’re doing is similar to false advertisement.

Extremely Laggy Multiplayer

I have been waiting for this game for a while, and let’s just say it wasn’t what I was expecting. But before I address what I see to be the negatives I’m going to talk about what improved from the last game, MiniDayZ 1. The combat system is much more skillful and the maps are more indulging and random. But I feel like the developers took a step back when they removed the sandbox world along with simplifying the health system from it having blood, food, water, and temperature. Now it’s down to a health bar, one food bar, and apparently morale? The base system is quite oversimplified as well as the “resources”. And honestly I think that’s the problem, the game is too simplistic. What makes games like dayz and project zomboid (the two games this represents) is how complex and indulging they are. I would love to see more complicated base building elements and a free base building mechanic. An open world would be great too. Anyways if the Developers want to talk about ideas and concepts for the game you can comment below and I can discuss via discord. An overall good game but has improvements to make, like anything that ever existed😉.
