Into the Dead 2 Reviews

So I just got this game and haven’t made it far into it but I’m not going to just because of the beginning. So far the story’s nice, there’s nothing wrong with that. But I don’t understand how it has so many people getting it and so many good reviews. Let me explain why I don’t like this game… 1. I’m someone who likes to actually play a game. You can’t do anything except move straight and side to side. You don’t get to control where you go. You only go one way and one way only. You can’t turn in any other direction. 2. You only unlock things as you level up or if you search in bags outside the story mode. This game would be so much better if you could pickup guns , survival things , ammo , and other loot from inside houses and from camps or crates that you find. 3. You should be able to run around a map , collecting items and leveling up and choosing when you wanna do story missions or if you just wanna run around gathering items… all this game is , is you running forward and side to side shooting at zombies that are in your way for a couple hundred feet and then you use the walkie talkie and that’s it. I’m more of an action game type person. I like to be in charge of the game and actually play the game. You don’t play this , this controls itself.

I’m sorry, but this isn’t a good game. I loved the first into the dead, I played it all the time and I was excited to hear a second coming out. When I first opened the game it felt kinda weird that you’re following a story of a guy trying to save his daughter and (at first I thought) wife. It was kinda fun and I like that the zombies kinda follow you. But I quickly started to dislike the game for the micro transactions and the monthly subscription that you could pay. 9 dollars a month? Really? That’s like a Netflix account. The guns that you start out with aren’t very good and you have to upgrade them as you go which I didn’t really like, guns upgrade very slowly and it’s hard to play the game because your guns are so far behind the levels needed. And the only way to get more parts is to spend gold which if you want a lot you need to spend real money. The tournaments are kinda fun when you get to higher levels but in the early game you basically can’t even play them. What used to be massacre mode is now a short burst of fun where the game has you basically running in a loop seeing the same building or car at least 5 times, I like that you get rewarded but I don’t like the fact you can’t skip the part where it tells you how many kills you got. And finally the ending. Really? I can’t tell you how disappointed I was to find the only way to get a GOOD ending is to beat ALL the little quest THEN do it again. It’s just not fun or interesting. It would be better if you finished most of the quest you got a decent ending and if you finished all youd get the best ending but over all. The game is kinda fun in general but it was a massive let down compared to the original. If you’re going to make a story game PLEASE make the story interesting.

I’m a big fan of ITD and was very happy with part 2. Now the game still has a LOT of bugs! Endless amount of time I die from zombies that just pop right in front of me, no sign they were ever ther. MANY times I get stuck in corners or at obstacles and one time I was floating in the air after falling. Even my tank I was riding started floating way above the game board.
The second main point is how the game is very EXPENSIVE in both real money and game credits. You barely earn 50 coins after every mission and to upgrade your weapon you’ll need up to 5000 followed by 8000 followed by coins!!! You think that buying gold would solve this? I paid over 130$ already and it’s not enough, upgrading reached 12,000 coins and its not enough to kill zombies.
Finally the fact that you can’t buy the type of weapons, ammo or upgrades you need by choice but rather by luck as everything is left for your luck and what you get after each games or through lock boxes... that’s a bit ridiculous. I would need to wait for days maybe weeks to get 1 type of ammo to finish a mission, then when I get it I die from a bug in the game!! Pretty frustrating!
The gameplay is 8/10, but your evolution in the game is not worked out properly, it’s 2/10. A lot of bugs...

I loved the first game and this is a great new addition don’t get me wrong. Graphics are amazing, similar gameplay is great, but there are big problems. I get it’s a new release and it’s going to be glitchy but it’s really glitchy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been grabbed by a zombie and not one was even close to me. Then having to retry it and have he same thing happen again. Soooo where’s the reload option? So far I’ve had to wait a bullets just to make sure my weapon was fully loaded. Dodging is fun but there’re times you gotta unload a clip to make a hole to get past areas. Not being able to reload is frustrating!!! Isn’t being prepared the basics of any shooter? Hope that gets fixed too. Biggest issue I have...ENERGY. The first game you could retry all you wanted as many times as you wanted. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it now takes 15 min for 1 energy recharge when most levels require more than that. Waited 1/2 hour to 45 min to retry a level...died 15-20 seconds later due to a glitch and had to wait even longer until I had enough energy to try again. 15 min for 1 recharge is a bit ridiculous...especially when you have the option of collecting STARS. This is going to take a really long time to achieve plus of you die you don’t keep the star. Please made some serious changes.

Love the game but it needs work.

Hey, I loved the first game and played it all until the end ( non counting on the real money store items)... And I got really exited when I saw this was already released, but after playing it I really like all the work you've done with the game it self. As for the new guns, In game Mounted guns and all that. But really the gameplay..... no reload button..! Witch I can actually live with that with no problem. Just a matter of knowing your timing and it kinda brings more hype to complete the challenges! Witch it's great...! But the grabbing zombie thing it's impossible to get levels them selves but especially the objectives.. They are not even shootable and they still grab you from both sides. With that it's impossible to play. I mean if it was a "one or two" situation.. but it's not..! I can say more than 90% times I died was because of that issue. Please fix it as soon as you can.. Cause at the end it's just a matter of time playing everyday witch you die two or three times you just uninstall the game cause it's really easy to loose interests in glitch that just doesn't stop.. ohh and sometimes you get adds in the middle of the game.. and it doesn't even pause the game, and blinds you either...

I absolutely loved the first game, it had great graphics, the animations were good even it has a good area that you are running through. So I was exited when I learned there was a second game. And I tried it out I was happy with the first cutscene but once I started running I realized two things, the graphics were absolutely terrible and I got stuck on a tree and I couldn’t move which caused the game to crash and I had to restart from the cutscene. As I have played through the game I have seen more problems, 1 when you hit the center of an obstacle you don’t just bounce off like in the first game instead you slowly slide off and by the time your off of it a zombie would have made its way to you and you have to restart. 2 I’ve heard this a lot which other reviews, I’ve been grabbed by a zombie that wasn’t even close to me. Please fix this because it happens A LOT. 3 you move in the game by sliding your finger around in the corner but what I’ve noticed is that it will jam and I can only move to the left, there is this one level where you run through a tunnel and this is a major problem because when I try to move to the right to avoid a zombie on the left I end up moving into the zombie and having to start over. Please fix these problems.

Hi to to whoever is reading this my name is Patrick and I would like to say thank you for creating, etc. wonderful game, but I would like to add a few tips to it such as a body counter And an achievement tracker. Or something similar for the stars in each level
Maybe a kill cam for when you do something awesome or legendary. Next, I would like a decrease in the price to the weapons. Your weapons are way too expensive $20-$30 for virtual guns I’m never going to use in real life. That’s way too expensive for something. I’m paying digital for on a game that for all attempts of purposes is probably gonna come out with a sequel in a few years or who knows a few months. I just don’t see why I should spend $30 on a gun that isn’t existing in real life and I don’t get to play with with my own hands and is only virtual a gun should only be virtual price two dollars maybe four or five dollars at the most and then if you wanna include a bundle of stuff, maybe $10 at the most nowhere near $30 is that acceptable we are in a economical crash economy is going nuts? Sorry for the run-on sentences and the novel i just wrote I used to speak to write to do this. Have a good day. PS I am autistic so some thing you don’t make sense in some sentences it’s because I’m speaking to write this. Please write me back so I know what you decided to do about my request and if they are good ideas to add to your game also, if you could tell me if is coming around the corner, that would be great too.

Sincerely, yours, Mr. Patrick

Honestly i love it, this game is great love almost everything, i think that it holds true to the into the dead franchise and is a great successor to the first game, but honestly i have some issues, they are quite annoying and i dud hope you fix them so the first issue i have is graphics... dont get me wrong they are amazing graphics but my issue is i have an i phone 7+ one of the latest iphones and my phone legitimately can only do medium graphics without lagging like hell, i find this weird since i have such a good phone, ny other issue is in game when there is a strafing zombie coming towards you, you see them clearly to your left or right and think you csn get by but surprise surprise its almost like they teleport from your left/right vision in front of your face to eat u i have died many times due to this and the hitbox for when stationary zombies come in contact with you is wayyyy easier to navigate and more like the first game so basically fix the hitbox for when strafing zombies come in contact with your player, and my last issue is energy... now i know your just trying to keep people playing longer and to buy gold from the in app purchase but seriously 1 energy every 30 mins thats downright bs, considering how many attempts it takes to get 5 stars in a level i find this incredibly annoying like please fix this its going overboard, im fine with energy, like lets say when your on the game you regen 1 energy every 2 mins but when your off the game your energy regen rate goes to 1 per 15 mins. Anyway those are my issues please fix, thanks

In every sense of the word, this game is outstanding. Great graphics for an iOS-based game, intriguing story, fun gameplay, and a plethora of weapons and special events to play with.

If I was writing this review a week or so ago, I would’ve given five stars. The only reason it isn’t comes with the new update. Along with a new weapon and a way to customize your guns using Crowns (once again, a nice addition), the developers also limit the number of attempts you can have at a daily mission to only three before you have to wait a two hour cooldown, whereas you had unlimited attempts before the update. Of course, you also have the option to use gold (a rather rare form of in-game currency, as you can imagine) to replenish your attempts back to three.

I don’t know of any other reason for this deprecating change other than to grab people’s money (which is rather disappointing, given that this game is made by a Triple A developing team), but if the developers would revert this change, I would gladly come back and change my rating to five stars. Other than this unfortunate issue, it is an outstanding game across the board.

Great game, but it needs multiplayer... Divided was amazing.

So there’s 5 (or more) people, ranked worst weapons to best when one person gets in a “struggle” (like the first person, the person with the worst weapons, they can either use a knife (set to automatic after a period of time) or if a person behind them runs to them, it plays the saving animation (like the one in Divided) this way for stronger players it’s harder and for weaker players it’s easier. You could do like a squad of handpicked people that you choose or random. Please add! There could be different ranks too. For example, Corporal, Sergeant etc. You should also add in *Very* Special rewards. For example a new companion (Like Cutter from divided) that is even rarer to find. First you’d have to get into the top tiers (like 1 or 2 but make sure to add some to the account of “Nerd” 🙃 ) And you’d unlock them. Then, you’d be given radios which are used to “call” or “summon” him and they would have the same ability as the soldiers in Divided (the shooting ahead) and you’d get one save per run.

Thanks for reading!

This game has a refreshing take on the zombie genre, and I love how it stands out from other zombie games similar to it. While this game has a great concept and output, there are a few problems I have with it. Firstly, every time I open a weapon parts box and receive the black assault rifle with the handle on top, ( I don’t know it’s real name) the game freaks out and the screen starts a never ending cycle of flashing the weapon I just earned to fading to black. This starts when I tap done after receiving the weapon, this has happened both times I acquired the weapon, please fix this. I fix this by closing the game completely and re- opening it, but I still don’t get the weapon. The second problem I have with this game is it’s zombies that hide behind cover and then attack you as you run by. Now I understand that this may be a design choice but I just wanted to raise your awareness to this kind of- excuse me for sounding childish- “unfairness”. But, like I said I could be wrong, this could just be a design choice that I find flawed. Either way, I appreciate the time that you took out of your day to read a middle- schooler’s review on your exceptional game and I hope that you continue to improve this game or continue to make great games.🤗

I won’t lie, this game has it’s flaws. The menus can get glitched out, the gameplay can get repetitive, the micro transactions can feel a bit in your face, and having to upgrade weapons as the zombies get more bulletproof can be a grind. But I keep coming back to this game regardless. Maybe it’s the world building that draws me in. The idea that these hordes of walking corpses are a natural disaster that has passed through James’s hometown before, but now for one reason or another they’re growing more resilient and numerous. Maybe the reason I keep coming back is experiencing the feeling of barely scraping through a massive crowd of grabby claw-like nails, raspy voiced rotting jaws, and bioluminescent eyes that are slowly but surely tearing the state (and perhaps the world) apart, maybe it’s the feeling of plowing through abandoned infrastructure and wrecked cars in the vehicles, listening to the conversations James has over his radio as the stories he finds himself in continue, the idea that nature (or at least the plant life) is thriving to one degree or another despite the undead, the unoriginal (far cry new dawn) yet still interesting concept of a Christian cult building it’s own civilization in the ruins of the old guided by a well meaning yet possibly insane preacher, the fun canon and non canon Side missions, the beautifully crafted backgrounds and distant views, or just the “never gets old” feeling I get from listening to the starting pistol recoil and make a metallic clicking sound every time it’s been fired. If you like zombie games and you don’t have a lot of cash, buy this game. You need to try it at least once.

I have not played video games since I was a teenager and played Kings Quest and Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards on my Tandy, but I am an avid Zombie fan, and even make Zombie Lego sets to sell on Etsy (The Blocking Dead). I started playing Into the Dead last year when I had some down time after a surgery, and fell in love. I think what I don’t like about most video games are the controls, most just don’t seem natural enough for my level of hand eye coordination. Into the dead uses a natural interface, just tilt the screen and the character reacts and touch the screen and you shoot. It’s so realistic that I cannot play if I’m lightheaded or I get too dizzy! The graphics and different weapons are awesome, I love the different settings and scenery. As much as I loved the first one I never play it anymore because Into the Dead 2 is so Effing awesome. I pay $10 a month for the VIP perks and it is totally worth it. I had a minor issue with one of my boosts and the Customer Service is phenomenal. I’d love to make an Into the Dead Lego set but I’m not sure I would do it Justice. Keep up the good work pikpok your game is the best thing to happen to the Undead genre since The Walking Dead.

Into the Dead 2 is an amazing zombie game that balances intense action with some of the most compelling side stories I’ve ever seen in a mobile game. The side stories are rich, emotional, and deeply engaging, from heartbreaking sacrifices to moments of hope and connection, they really make the world feel alive. The weapons and gameplay feel great too, keeping the intensity high.

That said, I think the main story could benefit from a little more cinematic focus. Right now, most of the story comes through short radio updates, and while it keeps the pace moving, it doesn’t fully capture the depth and emotional weight that the side stories provide. Adding even a few cinematic beats or character moments could make the main storyline as engaging as the side content, without slowing down the action.

Overall, the game does an incredible job of combining survival, action, and storytelling, and I hope future updates continue to expand the cinematic elements in the main campaign, while keeping the side stories just as rich and powerful as they are now.

I was a huge fan of the first into the dead. It was a fun first person shooter but it lacked the depth that into the dead 2 presented. This is literally the best game you will ever play on a phone or iPad. This games storyline is down right amazing not to mention its extremely realistic graphics. It looks like you watching a movie. This game is seriously comparable to Xbox PlayStation and PC games. This leads me to my next topic... dear pik pok writers, I have I great idea for you... make the into the dead series into a council game. But you should really consider bringing this game to council. I would be willing to pay 60 plus dollars for this game. This cake is seriously comparable to games like call of duty. To be honest I liked this game better. Thank you for your time and more importantly thank you for a great game!! I you have any info on making this game a council game please respond. Thanks!!

Ps: all of you people who gave this game mediocre reviews, I don’t know what you expect in a Mobil game but this is about as good as it gets so if you want a better game you can go out and make one.

Gameplay is super fun. Very emotional storyline. Someone with a very creative mind that could rival James Patterson obviously wrote this story. But there are a BUNCH of ads. Play a mission, come back into the main screen to collect rewards - bam. 60 second ad. To collect the daily rewards? These ads are optional, but 1-3 minute long ads are insane. And to make it worse, if it is a 10-30 second ad, it will loop. So you are sitting there for a minute - 3 minutes, watching one ad on repeat. I cant complain honestly, as annoying as that is. I only watch the ads when I am otherwise occupied. Brushing my teeth, reading a book, playing other video games. Watch the ads for the daily item rewards. Very greedy company, and to ask us to vote their next game as the “Most Anticipated Mobile Game” or whatever, its quite greedy. Devs need a morality check. But I’ll be damned if the story isn’t creative and the rewards aren’t worth it.
Lots of other genuine problems with the game, I’ve been playing for a couple weeks now and discovered plenty. The notifications SPAM YOU. For one notification object, if sends about 15-30 notification messages. Also, game consistently refuses to shoot the zombie directly in front of you. Like yeah, I want you to shoot the zbie 30 feet in front of me, not the zombie that has its arms in my mouth. The VIP membership price should be lowered to $7.99 USD, and VIPs should be given 1 free box of Supplies, 1 free box of Weapons, and 1 free box of Companions. And then, the option to watch an ad for the box should be available. It is a good game, I would suggest downloading it if you have free time. But there are problems I have not even said here that I would suggest fixing. The supply of silver, for instance? It feels way too difficult to get the games main currency.

I love this game!! I can spend hours on this game and not get bored. However there are a few things that if they were changed, the game would be perfect, for instance, the side stories being only available to vip. Which I think the side stories of the soldiers should be free but the others like ghost busters and night of the living dead should be for vip only as they are special stories but the ones about the soldiers could be the same story with James but in the perspective of a soldier. Also my game often tends to crash after a level when I click on other stuff, if there is anything I can do to fix it could you guys respond to this as it would make my gameplay so much better. ( I had this game before on another device but the device was so old it could not handle the game. So I am playing it on a different device. Thanks for taking the time for reading this as it means a lot to me that you are taking the time to read this.

So I finished into the dead 2 but only for the first ending that left me speechless… but it’s amazing and love the Side Stories, (It be amazing if they collab with the Walking Dead or something “finished the first 2 seasons”) Also love James and would like a new update that adds the cross like the first Into the Dead did… be more interesting and wondering who died here and there. There is also another great point is that when you run under a bridge but the zombies being stopped by the railings, but on one part a zombie fell on me but before that the zombie was clawing on my more like it fallen on me and got up to do the animation, be really interesting if they add new animation or remake most of it, it’s a Triple A Game on MOBILE… But I love this game and love the Night of the Living Dead Side Storyline, amazing but I wished Alice got farther. The Knives are great but keep in mind to save most of it considering if you are VIP unless you still have a free membership at first hand “Highly Recommended” also from experience just keep grinding till you have a good supply of weapons and Level up your weapons constantly, I’ll make another Review Love the Dev team that made this, I’ll make sure I’ll get all the Endings…

I love this game so very much, the story has so much detail and inspiration, the side story’s I think just complete it but -we need more side story’s-. Maybe we can get a descent 2 because I was very interested when dr Lang said “ there’s things in the facility that can’t make it to the surface” I wanted to know more after that. More story’s with Garcia’s buddies, idk if you’ve already done this but we can put something in the game where the army goes to war with promise and ooooh we can drive a helicopter in one of the side story’s, that would be fricken awesome. Any way just add more story’s to the game so yea, I was 9 or something when I first got into the dead 1 and I was very into it later after that into the dead 2 came out I made my little brother play it and now he’s very into it. Ok I’m gonna end this review so good bye 😄 btw my name in the game is ManOwar

Started this game with the first one, Into The Dead, when the ITD2 came out I realized the second one was much better, especially game play over all. Played it for over a year with not to many problems. Now there’s still floating trees, been months and their not fixed, and when your running through the very hilly forest it’s setup so you can’t see anything below you and more than half the time your overrun by zombies you can’t ever see coming.
I try to avoid doing anything I have to do if I have to watch an add!
It would be one thing if you watch an add it ends, then you get whatever you’ve watched the add for, is: weapons, DOG FOOD, etc. I don’t even bother with the extra weapons at the beginning of the game anymore due to the adds sometimes freezing up the whole game or not even receiving the crate at all. It’s getting to the point of I’m thinking about just deleting the whole game.
Then there’s the alternative ending with the crazy preacher dude. I’ve played all the different events, and still don’t understand how to get to them?🤷🏽‍♂️
