Zombieland: AFK Survival Wiki

Afk or tap along when you have free time. Only complaint so far is the game not updating a few of the challenges properly. Example: I completed a daily challenge/ all 50 levels and one of my challenges stopped at 33/40 levels needed to claim the challenge. I had one other silly one but all in all, besides a few minor bugs as expected from what I believe to be a new game, not bad. As expected tons of ads, but at least in places you would prefer them to be. You can play completely without them or use them here and there to help boost yourself with supplies. Really helpful in the low level stages but hopefully they are just as helpful in higher levels or they will become obsolete/ irrelevant.

Now, I’m not the type of person to offer anything more than one star to games that don’t nail the mark for, “decent,” so this review says a lot. It is an idler, but it has the flare of being more interactive. It isn’t as if it does anything new, nor anything totally innovative, but everything it does do is done right. If you need a decent time waster for when you are bored, well, this should be able to fulfill your needs at the most basic of levels. However, if you want something action-packed and endlessly engaging then you need to stop looking for such impossible products on a mobile platform.

I’m loving this game. It’s fun and easy to understand some of the basic things and do what you need to do. My problem is with some hero’s they just have one simple zombie walk up to them and they get hit once and die and you have to wait for the revive time which takes forever. It’s annoying and I don’t know how to keep it from happening. I equip trinkets and upgrade their health via another hero’s skills. Yet there’s other hero’s, the support ones that heal hero’s when you use their ability they’re technically supposed to be the weaker hero’s but yet tank hits no problem until higher waves especially if they’re the last hero alive for the moment. My other problem is how long the cool down for hero’s abilities. It’s too long. Especially for waves in from 70 and up. And some of the zombies get way more stronger than they should. Makes it almost impossible to make it to higher waves including the wave to fully complete a mission which is usually 100 or above.

If you want that 5th star you really need to fix the offline progress. Once you get to 300 levels and up, you literally make no progress it feels I had 3 levels to go and I would check in for DAYS hoping I was finished and i literally made no progress. Which made me assume my team wasn’t adequate and I would need to cash out, not the case the game itself just put my team to “sleep” and I had to do it myself. What’s the point of an idle game if they’re not doing anything on their own? Adding more zombies would be nice like actual boss zombies that zoom the map out farther and have uniqueness instead of the same overly tall zombie over and over. I have yet to spend a dime on the game and never will since I have the 4 main characters of the series so I’ll just play through all the levels until there’s nothing left to do unless more depth is added even as an idle game there’s more to offer here.

The game is fun, funny, and enjoyable overall. I loved the movies and have always liked zombies. Game play is easy enough to figure out but challenging enough through characters, special equipment, and player uniqueness. I like how you can customize your teams and make decisions on who leads, gets what gear, and how they interact. There is a strategy and luck component to this game. I’ve been playing for a few weeks now and have not really gotten to a point where I can’t find something to do, even if I hit a level that my fighters can’t get past. The daily challenges, special events, and so on allow me to play for upgrades that make my team stronger and characters evolve. Doing that gets you past the more difficult levels so far. Wondering what is still discoverable in the game maps. Overs it’s a solid game, rarely crashes, ads are short, and the game is a great way to spend some extra time.

I’ve Ben playing the game pretty solidly for about 2 months, at least. I know I have now hit a wall, and it’s due to the utter lack of skill, or the complete void of actual gameplay this game requires. I barely eek’d past the level that requires 750 waves to be cleared. And I am 1000% certain, unless I pay tons of really money to buy upgrades/resources, that I will NEVER pass another level, even if I play for another two months and dedicate every possible second to this game. Fact is, it hasn’t been fun for a long while. In the beginning, I was very interactive. As you progress, your involvement in the action becomes increasingly useless. And the ramping mechanism for the hoards scales at an unreasonable rate. I started off that last level absolutely demolishing by a multiple of 1000x. 600 waves later, upgraded my characters as per usual, I’m still destroying the competition. There existed maybe a 10 wave gap where my tapping could have speed things up just a bit, and then nothing. And towards the end, I had to spend every resource I had to juuuuust make it past the final 2 waves. Next level requires an additional 50 waves to be cleared. There’s no way in hell that’ll ever happen. You don’t earn scarce resources, hardly ever. Progression is impossible. Playing the game doesn’t give you the proper resources and even if you spend real money, it won’t buy the missing resources. It was mildly entertaining while it lasted I guess.

I have been having persistent issues with glitching. I’d have “hero upgrade cost reduced” but the cost to upgrade stays the same. I’ve had instances where I’d be at level 626, I’ll turn the game off and return later and it put me back to level 619 instead of progressing forward (this happened 3 times). When I reached out to customer service about these issues I was told to update the game (it was already fully updated) and restart it. No help at all. Some Hero’s die too easily (1 hit and they’re gone), some zombies just take hits nonstop with their health bar not even budging & some die with 1 hit, and it’s too difficult to acquire gear, new summons, or upgrade equipment without spending tons of cash. So after you reach a certain stage it loses its playability unless you’re willing to pay! Other than that, pretty good game! It was supper fun to me at first, but it’s been more irritating than not lately and I think it’s because I’m not coughing up dough to progress.

I liked this game until the hard mode update. Everything suddenly doesn’t work. Watching vids to get daily stuff doesn’t register. Crashes during gameplay. Sometimes can’t select the Tower of Babylon. The “x” button to close out of certain screens doesn’t work often - end up having to quit the app altogether just to get to to the main screen. Many visual glitches pop up, sometimes can’t select events button. Also was looking for a way to toggle hard mode off - can’t find a mechanism to to that - not even in the settings. When I try to claim prizes for passing waves in either the daily or in the tower, it crashes. When I try to use the summon button to spend for heroes or trinkets, it crashes. Sometimes when I try to use an ability, it crashes. Sometimes when I shoot a pigeon, it crashes. Sometimes when I need to view an ad/ video, it crashes. So many bugs. Can’t play this until they fix it.

I loved this game. I dont play many mobile games because they cant keep my attention. I love being able to keep this game on and play. The progression was nice. Not too quick but not slow either. That being said since these recent updates I cant do anything in the game except the dailies. I made it to los angeles prior to recent updates with a couple fully upgraded epic weapons and trinkets. Most of my other gear is highly upgraded. I cannot get past Los angeles now.I have tried 5 times and cashed in to upgrade rules and i cant make it any further than the previous time which is around level 1000. The zombies just seem to get outrageous amounts of health compared to damage outputs. I really hope the developers take this into account as it is super frustrating not being able to progress at all. If this gets fixed I will update my review to how much I actually like this game.

Was enjoying playing the game, progression was nice & took some effort to make it through each stage but it was actually possible. Since the last update I’ve been stuck at the same location for because overnight the difficulty ramped up so much it’s impossible to make any progress at all. I spend 1-2 days getting near to the end of the stage, give up & Cash Out. I upgrade what rules I can and run the same stage over & over & over again. Never mind that post update keys, hero summons, tokens & twinkies are seriously hard to come by without venturing into my wallet too. These changes must have been planned because the game hasn’t reverted back to before and/or has not been updated again? About to give up because the boredom level has increased 1000% since progress is virtually impossible now. Hope you decide to make some adjustments soon 🤞🏻

Look I love the game I do... BUT it's literally a big money grab scheme. Every corner you turn it feels like they want you to buy their "in game money" and it's not cheap trust me. Ya ya ya but you know you can just play the game without paying anything, yes I know that, but when you passed normal level and hard opens up... Let me tell you this, I haven't been able to do one hard mission yet because all of hard mission require crazy different characters which YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER GET unless you buy their stuff. Again I played for a month now, spent +100$ on this game still can't do any hard missions lol. Oh and it's Easter right what did DEVS get us for Easter gift... Nothing they want you to buy their Easter pass which ends in a week. And after that new pass will show up for a week for 20$ worst is they don't even try to hide that they want all your money 😂

This game is terrible, played it since release pretty consistently until they stuck their grubby little hands into the formula and became greedy, the gameplay was slowed down, the difficulty was increased, the rewards were diminished because they realized people could obtain characters and progress without financial assistance which they must have thought could be monetized greater and they had some fear of missing out, you can no longer purchase heroes with Twinkie’s, you no longer receive resources to upgrade equipment at a rate that is even remotely viable, or trinkets, the drop rate of rare characters has diminished, this game is a highly negative experience and would advise against playing it until they reverse the last 2 updates, this game would greatly benefit from adding gameplay features to attract potential buyers rather than worrying about how to maximize a cash grab, if they are concerned about lack of income they should consider an AD or 2 with moderation rather than slowing down progression, also I would like to add that if you notice every single negative response is met with “our team is constantly tuning difficulty and will take this into consideration” ETC.. if this isn’t proof that they don’t really care then i don’t know what is. This is a game that they need to fix or don’t waste your time!

This game used to be great as many others have said, however I’ve lost 75% or more of my daily rewards...literally I click it and it doesn’t add into my total amount. When I let them know they asked for screenshots...I sent them, but they have ignored me for literally 6+ weeks. Saying initially they’d get back to me. I sent the original complaint early December, but now they won’t even respond when I write them...they IGNORE you. I’ve written more than 8 times over 6 weeks, not pestering, but making sure they know I’m still here...again IGNORING me! The last 2 days I was trying to get more game heroes and that glitched big time...again, it won’t even let me download the screenshot now. It lost me 50 hero pieces or whatever they are! I actually did spent money on the game, a lot, actually, more than $100, but they refuse to help.... I’m done and will continue to spread far and wide how awful this game is, how awful their support is, and what a waste of time and money it is. I truly hope they change, but I doubt it...they just hope I’ll go away, but I won’t. If I’ve spent money on something, I deserve a refund, or at least a game that works!

Game showed potential in the first handful of hours of play. You’ll reach a point pretty quickly where tapping does not meaningfully help, so then you’re back to a plain old idle game. Rewards can be earned while “playing” but it’s like 50 of a mat when you need way more to upgrade items. Characters are upgraded while on missions—the highest level you’ve achieved affects their available skills while the current level affects their performance. Like most idlers, it’s easier to upgrade early, but this game is a little silly with the increased costs. You’ll sometimes upgrade from one tier to the next to find that just the first level in the next tier is 100x the cost you just paid. Because you will auto-advance through waves while not actively playing, zombies will begin to crush your characters so bad that you basically are unable to play at all and must 100% idle. I usually throw $5-$10 minimum to games that manage to entertain me for a bit but I’m glad I didn’t spend any here. The progression feels aggressively anti-player.
