Dead Ahead Reviews

I’ll be honest it’s a fun game up to a certain point I would probably say stage 3 or area 3 only because you don’t really need heavily beefy guys to get the job done. But after that the difference in the stages is huge my guys take 2-3 hits before they die as before I would only need to take about ... Show more about 6 hits. But there is an up side I guess you could call it if you don’t want to spend really money on op characters is to not play the game for a few weeks but come back every 6-8 hours and collect your time quest to get items to buff up your guys’ll even having a chance at surviving. As you can tell this is annoying not to mention if you want to level up your profile to be able to level you characters up you need exp which you get a decent amount. around 50 and up respectively when you clear a stage but once you complete the stage and do the same one again you only get 1-3 exp which is a huge problem because you only have so much gas/energy to do them the coins you earn is the same way.

I like and enjoy the game. But i have a problem. The games shows that something is wrong and displays red text across the screen. This stops me from playing what I believe is an online mode but as far as i am aware I cant play it. Looking at it yes it says you have to make a game center account. Bu... Show more t due to some complications with my old Game Center account being hacked or taken by someone i cant make a Game Center account. I have one but its not working and its been a full year of constant trying and troubleshooting. But that’s enough of talking about that, the problem is not being able to access a big part of this amazing game. I love it but the timer on the fuel is a bit harsh and not at all fun especially the limit of fuel you get is 20 you can only play the game for 5-6 minutes then you have to wait 1 hour till your full on fuel. If you could please add an option to either upgrade the fuel or remove the timer and give us some way to earn fuel through missions (side missions) rather then buy it, would be nice. Otherwise the game is good bit difficult to gather supplies to get 3 stars on stuff and its making me want to delete the game because the fuel situation, i do want to keep playing so i can have something to look forward. I give this game a fair 3 stars, i will write a better review when this game has gotten the updates that will improve the experience of this overall great game. Please developers contact me.

This game is fun and I’m a huge zombie fan. The concept for the game is great and I love working to get a new character, but it’s extremely difficult without paying real money to get in game currency. I don’t mind going back and grinding older levels I have played, it’s fun I think. The levels do g... Show more et pretty difficult quick which is fine but to upgrade your character as well as your bus for the amount of coins you get with the levels that you CAN beat. Can being the key word, makes it just a strenuous grind with not much reward. As I said love the grind that’s the point of the game but the characters become weaker with each level because the monsters are very OP in hordes. So again level the characters and bus to upgrade the characters further, but not enough coins given. I would suggest other goals or achievements to get coins other than just trying to accomplish to get as many stars as you can because after stage three it gets hard to get three stars on most levels (if it can even be beaten). I’d suggest reducing some zombies hp or just simply adding more levels to give the players chances to level some characters and the bus. The game is great and I love it but not perfect. If there were chances to receive more coins by grinding or any other manner I’d definitely give the game 4 to even 5 stars.

I like this game. So much that I want to complete the game to its fullest extent by 3 starring every level. This is basically impossible. Because of a skill gap? No. Because the zombie AI is ridiculously random. Dogs for example, either die easily by actually attacking your summoned units or they j... Show more ust attack your base instantly resulting in an immediate 2 star. It has nothing to do with the timing of summons, I’ve played the dog and runner levels enough to figure out that the AI decision making is completely random. Which poses a huge problem when a dog spawns within the first couple of seconds and decides to ignore my defending units. There is no way my defending units can intercept fast units as they move side to side at a crawl. I give up. I’m not going to sink an hour of my life playing the game for 10 seconds at a time only to have to restart the level again by watching 30 seconds of ads. In fact this has made me fed up with a game I found pretty enjoyable. But until zombie AI becomes more consistent or unit movement is able to make up for a lack of AI, I feel very uncompelled to return to the game.

It’s a very fun game when I’m able to play. You get an amount of gasoline that allows you to play each mission. When you are out of gasoline you can watch videos to get more but eventually it stops you from doing that. So you can only get so much gasoline without spending $3.00 to get more. Next wh... Show more en you beat a mission you get coins. These coins are in game currency that allow you to access the market and buy things to upgrade units. Each mission gives you a solid amount when you beat it for the first time. You also get the option to watch a video to gain extra when you 3 star it which is fine. What’s annoying is when I get to missions that ramped up in difficulty very quickly and my units aren’t Aton enough but I can’t just play older missions cause they don’t give the same amount they used to once you beat it. So I have no coins and all I can do is play old missions for scraps and maybe get enough to level up every other day or waste all my gasoline losing the battles in the harder area. It’s an annoying stale mate of a grind

The game is an absolute blast to play, it’s difficulty curb isn’t too steep and the amount of units you can use really helps mix and match to make the mission your playing easier. The music is wonderful and it's such a good thing to hear, it really matches the vibe of the game. However my only com... Show more plaint was that whenever you had former progress on a Game Center account, it would always pop up if you wanted to synchronize, which I didn’t really wanted to do, I wanted a fresh start, but when I accidentally clicked it, I couldn’t go back! I just think something that says “never ask again” or something along the lines of that could help so the players who wanted a fresh start could have one without being bugged off by the constant request to synchronize. Overall one of the best mobile games in my opinion, it’s just this one problem that doesn’t make it that good in my opinion.

This game is actually really good, the in-game music is perfect for the game, the ads are non-invasive and totally optional, but the only downside is you really do need to watch them to get the most out of this as a free-to-play gamer. But the campaign gameplay and ranked playlist are honestly grea... Show more t, both requiring a large amount of strategy and planning. My two biggest complaints are the skins can allow you to get certain “class” bonuses that are crucial to the gameplay, but they are way too expensive for a FTP player to ever get them. Even only spending 10 dollars would only get you two of them, which is s huge deficit. My last complaint is that sometimes DeadAhead will refuse to start and crashes on the Mobito loading logo and the only way to fix it is to delete and re-install, which is annoying.

It's a good game and I enjoyed the first one too. The only possible thing I could complain about is the fact that the difficulty becomes steep quickly. I can't complain much though, I like the challenge. I just wish that every so often you could go back to the first area and there would be the abil... Show more ity to get more items or you'd have to reclaim the areas because the zombies would take em back. It'd be pretty cool ya know? Like you stop playing for a week and when you come back all of the areas you cleared have been reinforced. Maybe they're stronger? Who knows, and maybe a wondering boss that's hard to kill but gives good loot or several bosses ranging in difficulty.

Update: The game is still the same as I had posted before, though a small complaint I have is the flame thrower units. They will begin to attack when their enemy is just out of range. Say I have the Glenn and he’s attacking a zombie, the flame thrower unit will go up to just behind Glenn and either set him ablaze (not the zombie) or just continue to spit fire till he runs out and Glenn is dead an by the time he’s able to spit more fire, he’s mostly dead if not already dead.

Overall I love this game it has an awesome art style and game design. But I have some complaints, It’s very frustrating that the only way to get skins and a lot of characters is by buying them with real money and they are all crazy expensive. There isn’t a way to really farm coins without Austin ... Show more which means it takes a very long time to make simple purchases. This game can be very difficult where several hours can go by without much progress being made. why are there only 3 “Bosses” in locations 1-4 I think we need more bosses not just enemies with a lot of health. Bosses that change how the game is played especially the marauder boss with the truck was a lot of fun to play and an interesting way to mix things up. This game is super addicting and I love it. I believe that everything in a game should be accessible with a lot of grinding and without the use of irl money however you should be allowed to speed up the process with irl money. Thank you for reading this rant I really appreciate it and thank you to the developers you guys did an awesome job and I love the graphics!

I have not played for long, but I have made it to the final stages of the game. There is not much end-game content, so it is nice to place the pvp battles. I found this game through an online Facebook Ad. Usually, I do not indulge in any promotional videos but I really liked the style of the gamepl... Show more ay. The game plays like tower defense, and usually allow plenty of attempt with levels. There are some awkward balances with character, but overall I feel that the developers have done this purposely. I will continue to enjoy the game, but I hope that future updates allow for more customization with characters and additional levels.

Update: I have continued the game. I have gotten all the stars and collected and leveled a majority of characters. I am eagerly awaiting for the game to release more levels and game play. I have often won the battles against players. I hope that another patch is coming soon. I miss the challenge. Eventually I will leave the game and do something more constructive. I probably need to read books or finish my schooling.

I think this game is pretty good, but there are some problems with it as in paid units and the missions. Some missions are too hard like the first one in stage 8, it’s impossible to beat because the cranks are overpowered and also the paid for units I wish were cheaper or if you could get them from... Show more events. Austin should be 3.99, Specops should be 4.99, Jailer should be 0.99, the swat bundle should be 9.99 and the circus pack should be 7.99 and when I say this I mean forever and not just for a day or so and about the stages I hope the creator would make the levels of stage 7 and 8 easier and could you also put swat back into the game? But besides that I think every thing else is great and one last thing, could you make it easier to get coins? Because it so hard to get coins, if you can change any of these things I would be very happy and I would tell all my friends about this great game. Also please know this is not a complaint but just something I wanted to say.

Thanks

Revising my old review which was low due to paywall and seemingly P2W but since the update, things are getting better, though not completely corrected, in fact what they did the light soldier (one the most expensive units) is a travesty, but light soldier aside they seem to have started on a better... Show more path for the most part. Would love to see ANY new content other than (Paid) skins, maybe a more efficient way to earn dollar bills to make buying the units which were locked behind a rediculous Paywal to a in game currency of which the only feasible method of obtaining is forming over real cash for, which didn’t fix the unit paywall problem, just added ways for the extremely veteran players to MAYBE be able to afford them after forming over a (lessened) amount of their real money in hopes of obtaining. In all honesty, give ya more levels, more units, and stay more active on the community portal, which is now reddit. Which was another plus

This game is stupidly hard, like really I only open this game collect my rewards anymore, I don't even open up levels because their to crazy hard I can't even get one my highest level 14 troops past any of these new zombies, like first of all a large group of zombies that randomly just runs in with... Show more out giving you time to even have 1 STRONG defense out, it's too ridiculous, I deleted Star Wars commander for this, I just wish you got rid of random banchees and runners coming out like first thing you open the level up, my bus is already destroyed by the time I have someone saved up and out on the field, junk, scrap, games are supposed to fun and relaxing to play something to ease the mind not something to get you so worked up that you spend endless pocket amounts that you don't have cause your virtually broke from paying bills all the time, like serious could you just make the game a tad bit slower with the zombies and a bit easier, other than that the graphic on this game are better than most games I played, and the characters are crazy, awesome unique

I love the game. It’s fantastic and it certainly rewards well and doesn’t give an overpriced amount of something to get this or to get that, but if there is one thing I have to complain about, it’s the fact that you have to wait ten minutes just to get one gas. I feel that that is far too long of a... Show more wait and that maybe you should change the amount of time per gas? Maybe change it to four or five mins for one gas or even ten minutes to fill it all the way up inso we don’t have to wait a hour an a half to play the game again. I feel that changing this would dramatically improve the gameplay and play time for everyone who plays the game and will also improve the mood of the community of dead ahead gamers. Thank you for reading this devs, and i love the game.❤️

I’ve been playing this for roughly about a month it has been a very amazing experience but the money to purchase units (such as spec ops) has been tough to get and it would be really cool if you added a mission like the supply run but instead a heist whitch Ed would give you a random amount of cash... Show more like 1 to 50 something like that because it’s just unfair to free to play players such as me to have to go through a long time just to get a few cash. I understand you need someway to make money but please make it a little easier to get cash because in the tournament the stages people use the spec ops and it is over powered and it’s not easy to defeat them even with high level units. Please take my opinion into consideration and thank you for take it the time to read my review have a amazing day/night.

This is a great and fun game overall! It’s a great time filler and very addictive. I’ve had the game for only a few days and can’t stop playing! I love the zombie theme and haven’t found any problems...except for two. I find that when you start the game the first few levels are easy and at a decent... Show more difficulty, but then it just abruptly goes steeply into hard levels, making it a pain to progress. At the beginning the only really good way to avoid this is by buying caches, using the supplies from your timely supply crates/boxes to level up your heroes, or watching videos for prizes. This works well though. The second thing is that you level up too quickly(yes it’s a bad thing) and never have enough money to get the new unlocked characters right away! Otherwise I love this game and highly recommend getting it. Trust me, you will have fun!!👍😁

I get advertisements for a lot of really bad games. This one came up and I thought I’d give it a shot. I honestly assumed it would just be a cute version of all the other generic zombie games. Let me tell you though, this is a fantastic game and goes well beyond that. The art is amazing, the detail... Show more s put into the most random stuff like the bus moving or the characters hair isn’t unnoticed, and there is actually a story that isn’t slapped together.

A lot of mobile games are just time wasters that aim to get your wallet a few dollars at a time. This one doesn’t feel that way so far, and any time I do see a chance to spend money I don’t necessarily feel like I have to, but rather I’d want to to support the company and get some cool features or different characters. Nothing so far feels like pay to win unless I really wanted to go that route.

There isn’t a ton of randomness either in the gameplay, it’s minimized by being smart and choosing the right units. A lot of games are totally random, from the items to the play style but u don’t feel that here. I don’t get bored and find myself actually trying to be strategic with my units not only in the gameplay itself but in upgrading and crafting team bonuses.

Really quite blown away by this game and a lot of the little details, like the Glen character from TWD. Definitely recommend this if you want something engaging that isn’t just a generic cashgrab.

The art style is nice and the attention to detail is cool I love how the units look. The gameplay is simple and fun however it is hardish to get coins what do I mean? Well the Walmart event has changed to be more difficult compared to before and that was known to get a lot of coins and some of the ... Show more units that u could buy with coins turned to bucks like the swat for example. To get bucks u have to open crates that u can get for leveling up, events, pvp .mr buff and the twin rednecks gives u clocks for crates and rewards like coins and level up items. I feel like there should be more units that u can get for coins and maybe some more new units and maybe more crossovers? Or some more new levels but that’s just me. Oh and the amount of bucks you get are. Military crate: 1-3 bucks. Legendary crate: 2-4 bucks of course there is a possibility of u getting it more than once in the crates but it is still annoying to get them. Overall I recommend playing it

I love the game And all you’ve done with it but the missions can be very difficult maybe. Little too difficult like give the zombies that come after your bus a slower reaction but there tougher zombies when you get overwhelmed by all the zombies it gets very difficult sometimes it’s very unpredicta... Show more ble sometimes which is awesome about that sometimes I noticed zombies don’t go after the survivors that are attacking the barricade and you instantly win the game it would be interesting to have a pvp where one player is zombies and you get zombie hero’s kind of like the survivors but different and you slams them the same way with the blue currency you don’t have to but it kind of sounds interesting to me I would play this game even more if there was a zombies side with humans and instead of destroying the barricade destroy the bus and have it spawn humans out lower level missions spawn lower level humans and gets tougher as it goes on just a thought to think about in the future any way keep up the good work on your game👌

Pretty good game. Simple and satisfying while difficulty entertaining at the same time. Still being worked on a and updated but the dev(s) did a pretty good job and listen to feedback/suggestions and have an interest in making it better.

Pretty fun pass time, no mandatory obligation to play... Show more every waking moment other than how fun it gets on it’s own.

An excellent and unique feeling game. Easily worth 5 stars.

Just wanna clarify something, I see some people on here complaining about how difficult it gets. While that is true, this is what makes it a strategy game. You get to certain parts where how high your units levels/stats are doesn’t matter as much as what specific units you use and at what time. The beginning to middle of the game can be somewhat to moderately challenging. Then the end of the game really takes some patience and trial an error and is especially challenging.

But another great part about this game is it has an open link straight to the community, you can search on a forum or even ask questions about strategy from other players, devs, and talk about all kinds of general information. So if you’re really stuck and trying to get past, you can look up level specific strategy from others on the forum.

This game is always changing and adding new stuff and is worth taking a moment to download and try it out. One of the best (if not THE best) and unique games I’ve downloaded from DeadAhead store.
