Zooba: Zoo Battle Royale Games Reviews

by Bryan M Was Taken

This game if definitely enjoyable when your paired with new players like yourself at the beginning but that changes really fast. After an two or three hours of playing you start getting paired with higher level players. Of course this wouldn’t be a really big issue in most games, however, it is in this one. It takes a large amount of grinding to level up your character. But guess how you can skip that? You pay, you pay heavy amounts of money to instantly unlock better, high tier characters. Along with that, you can pay to get them leveled up. Over time the only people you start to come across are people who payed to get the gear and levels they have. No amount of skill will help you win when another player is higher level than you. Along with the fact that other characters are superior to others, for example, Nix is meant to be a balanced character that is quick at picking up loot. However, if faced against any other character he fails in comparison, either in speed, health, power, or a mix of them. This game purely relies on people paying for their characters, gear, and levels. It is pay to win, along with the fact that this game is marketed to children who, likely, do not know the value of money and how it is wasted in the purchase of in-game items. Overall, the game is pay to win and it is not worth playing unless you are willing to let go of a lot of cash, even then, someone has payed more and will keep doing so, just to win.

This game is great. Sadly, as you progress the game becomes less of a game and more of a chore. For example, the bronze boxes you get at the end of a match go from unlocking in 15 mins to 12 hours, and pretty quick too. And the rewards you get for that is horrible for the amount of time spent unlocking the box. There’s tons of characters too, it’s a shame you’ll never get to play all of them. With each consecutive unlock of a character, the overall chance of unlocking another character goes down. If I unlocked one off a golden box, the chance that I will unlock another on another golden box goes down, but it also goes down on the emerald box, and legendary. So even if you’re lucky to get a good box your chance to get a character are still diminished. Not to talk about the terrible matchmaking, you can be playing a character lvl 2 and see people level 6, or be lvl 6 and see people as high as 14. Needless to say you will not win as stats go up 25% by each lvl. And due to the bad rewards you get per box you will most likely go as high as lvl 7-8 character before having to spend months to upgrade again bc the most common crate takes 12 hours to unlock. So as the game goes on it really becomes pay to play. So if you want to play this game, play only till around league 4-5 ( couple of days) because after that the game becomes a hassle.

This game started out great, the crates gave you an amount of coins that was viable in character progression and the matchmaking was ok, since they announced the great “changes” that were coming it has suffered a lot. They took away the coin amounts from crates to “level” the unfair advantage but it only hurts lower level players and then raised the amount of coins needed to upgrade characters in the new character progression. The trophy loss and matchmaking was supposed to be fixed and have seen nothing of the sort. I unfortunately have put a few $100 into this game and it was absolutely not worth it at all, save your money! If I wasn’t so invested in this game I would have deleted it by now, it’s more frustrating than enjoyable which is a shame because when I first got it I enjoyed the game ALOT! Since the big update last year it has gone downhill quickly and new character introduction do not make up for what appears to nothing more than a money machine for the developers and their friends. If you are not already heavily invested I would encourage you to wait and see if they actually fix the issues with this game. Add on to all of that they now have in game ads! That is a new addition that is quite frustrating because they were NEVER there until a few weeks ago so apparently now I am supposed to pay for the premium pass to be ad free…disappointing!

I love this game, like, so much! There aren’t even just one add in the game! I also LOVE games that have the same rules as this one! Including the part about no adds unless you want to watch them. It’s the best game I know! I also love all of the updates on the experience and maps! New characters keep coming out like, every month! Keep up the good work! Except, one thing… As the 3.0 update came out, everything changed. It is harder to level up the characters and the level to get new item slots has increased! Most of my characters lost an item slot. I also thought about the part when the characters get their own items to use. I DO appreciate the part when everyone gets a new character, but after Yara came out, my other accounts couldn’t receive a new character. I also want to play all of the characters, including Yara, so maybe make another update and let everyone try characters for a free trial? It’s not my choice, but if you want more people to play and to rate 5 star, I’m guessing you should do what I suggested. Also, I’m seeing players with names that include bad words so do me a favor and disable some of those words, please? Lastly, the match-ups are pretty bad. One time, I was a level 8 and got put up on a level 15! Maybe try to make everyone put up against their own levels. (Unless you have party members who are different levels than you.)

I love this app but instead of updating the game you guys should be fixing the glitching that the players are doing in the game. Every time I play a game it will sometimes start at red then go to orange and then finally to green, then right back to red and I’m not the only one that complains about it my crew mates say they have the same problem too. They matchmaking is trash too, y’all say y’all fixing it from like 3 -4 updates ago and it’s stills the same. My highest level in the game is 14 right now but I go up against people that’s 16-17 that are at grandmaster 3-5 and I’m only at grandmaster 1 with my characters. Then on top of that if I’m playing with someone with a high level why can’t I get other people on my time with high levels too, my opponents get a good team but I get matched with a low level that runs off because the levels are too high for them to go against I don’t think it’s fair at all. If the teams are battling with high levels and I’m playing with one other person I should be able to get 3 other players with high levels it’s not fair how the gameplay is. I work hard to be were I’m at in the game just like my clan mates did too and I don’t think it’s fair that we get cheated out of a game because this app is not fixing the right bugs and glitches in the game. I think for the next update you guys should focus on the matchmaking and the glitching because this is outrageous.

So I downloaded the game a few days ago and I’ve been playing loads. I really would have loved to give the game a higher review, but there is one problem that keeps popping up. When I’m in the middle of a game my game crashes which is normal for games but not only does it crash, but rather it putting me back in the lobby or putting me on a “waiting for game/match”, it decides to put me in the game I was in. Yes you still come back with everything but half the time I will be dead or being attacked by then. I would like if maybe they kept this but when you aren’t in the match and your loading back in it would be great if they gave some kind of protection or like an immunity. Yes tris may seem “over powered” but it is really no fun when this happens. So I would love the creators did something about this. I would also be okay if they put me back in the lobby because it only takes me roughly a few seconds to find a match. So I hope they can do something about this soon. I may get so hate about this, but I still love the game, and that’s the only thing that really bugs me about the game if they (the creators of this app) did something or anything with this I would be very happy! Other than that the game is 5/5 ⭐️ so far. Also my review may change over time I have only played the game for a few days now but that’s really all I wanted to say.

If you are low level you won’t win. I was just now a lvl 2 penguin in a showdown with lvl 6 monkey. Easy win all day. I’m a sniper range chat. He’s a melee char no range. I hit him twenty times!! No damage. I have all gold items. Better than his by far. Still he just has too much hp. I can’t kill him. He knows this so he just stands there waiting for the fire circle to get so small I have no choice but to die in the fire or run to him and die. So I end up losing SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS A HIGHER LEVEL! Are you serious!!!! This is just dumb and I will not keep losing to trash people who have no skills just because they are a higher level than me. The rewards system is trash. All the boxes you have to throw away so they make you want to spend money to get crates to unlock to possibly get a new char or a few fragments to upgrade your char one level. When you have to wait for 12 ON EVERY BOX AND YOU CAN PLAY A MATCH A MINUTE! 99% of all your boxes will be discarded. You will never rank up or level up. This is a pay to win game. All day. Don’t let them trick you. A level one you have about 1k hp 800 attack. Level 7, you have 4.5k hp and 2k+ dps. Yeah good luck winning. This game is amazing. The level system is not. The rewards system is complete trash. You pay ten dollars for 500 diamonds!! It takes 60 to speed up one box! So for ten bucks I get 6 boxes opened faster? Wow no thanks no bargain there.

This game is a very fun PvP arena game. Animals right to become the champion of the zoo. But being the champion of the zoo is difficult when noobs are overpowered…

You see, I have no problem with new players to any game whatsoever. But what if, say, I was grinding for years but I was invaded by a bunch of overpowered noobies? Perfect way to spend my free time. 1. Buck and Bruce have wayyyyy to much health. Nobody has to do anything to overpower everybody! So yeah, their basically tanks. Also, they deal way to much damage, to! So yeahhhh seems pretty unbeatable to me…and now, Nix. Nix gets things way too fast. It’s bad enough she has a speed boost that she can use every millisecond to just run away whenever someone actually wants to fight, but she has to steal everything in a snap of a finger, too! If your in a team and someone was going to get the legendary weapon, you better prey it’s a spear so Nix can’t steal it! Nix grabs things sooo fast but the thing is, it won’t be that useful because since she’s a noob she won’t get to use it very long anyways. Also, if your not in a team with one, your team could work hard to defeat the legendary guard then she comes in and steals it. UNFAIR. These are mostly my problems with it, but overall great game! Thank you for reading!

This game is very fun! The gameplay and character progression is amazing. The game lacks in competitiveness the match making is completely broken, people who pay-to-win are level 14 with primal instincts playing level 12 players which is a huge difference in this game. The matchmaking shouldn’t be just trophies it should be trophies and character level because the game isn’t fun whenever some guy pays an insane amount of money just to beat you on a mobile game. Also I’ve had the game since 2019 and played a lot over the years and constantly opening crates but I never get new characters and never get primal instincts and I know primal instincts are relatively new but hey come on show your loyal players some love y’a know let me at least get one of the new characters or one primal instinct for a good characters. Love the game but over the years it just keeps getting worse with pay to win strategy. Some characters are obviously worse than others I only enjoy playing with certain characters like that shouldn’t be the case characters should be even in overall but vary in different categories of skill. this app please make the game more fair that’s all that I ask I love the game and will continue to play but cut the broke boys a break🙏🏼

by Dylpeen

I love this game. I have been playing it nonstop since I downloaded it a couple weeks ago. Yet, something feels off about it. For example in duos you and your teammate do not get a placement together. If you die #7 and your duo goes on to win the game you will only get the trophies for a 7th place finish and not a first place finish. This format results in less team work and no incentive for a teammate to revive of downed player. It’s every man for themself.

Additionally, the box format is very skewed. I haven’t gotten a new player in 2 weeks thanks to only getting toolboxes. When I win I want a crate for a chance at a new character. I haven’t gotten a crate in ages despite filling empty box spots right away.

Finally, I want to address the level system. For some reason when you are going up against a higher level player it says they have like 7 bars of health compared to it showing me I have 2. For example my Finn (shark character) was level 5.. when I saw a Finn level 6 in a game it showed he had 2 and a half bars of health. I had 2 bars. However now that my Finn is level 6 it still shows that I have 2 bars of health, so I am very confused how much health everyone actually has. If you are a higher level does it show you have more health to a level lower than you than it does higher than you? (Finn level 6 has 2 bars but Finn level 5 sees it as 2 1/2 but a level 7 character sees it as 2 bars)

I loved and love playing this app with the characters, skins, weapons, and it’s all very fun and competitive while also bringing out teamwork. I think it’s still all this even after the 3.0 update but it did change things I thought would be better left alone: for example you now must instead of using level points to level up you need to spend coins on level weapon points to then advance your weapons instead of having character and weapon/advancements on two different points. I wish this stayed how it used to be because I feel this makes it really annoying to level up a character. On the topic of leveling up characters: I used to have three open slots on different characters and now I don’t as you need to be on level 9 to get the third one. This annoys me because as I stated character leveling is harder now and makes you spend more coins than you used to. With the newer skins I do like some of them but it’s really more of a personal opinion and doesn’t effect my score. But with getting a new character after the update I do like the appreciate it as I’m sure every other Zoobster does. Over all a 3.7 good game but the update upset me and I can’t help myself - Some fan

Edit: Just noticed this and a bug happens we’re a player besides me weather it be a teammate or opponent their name and health bar will disappear

This game is clearly designed to get you to spend money, which is 100% okay, & I would love to do so. If it were worth it. This game is so unbelievably expensive, it’s almost scaring me away. I spent $75 on it not too long ago, and was only able to upgrade 2 characters to level 12... just a side note, if I were to pay to upgrade all of my characters right now, I could easily get a new ps5 w/ the same amount of money. Ridiculous. another problem with this game (I understand the whole pairing with trophies thing and what not) is as an example; being a level 10 Bruce and as soon as the match starts, you’re to be against a level 16 Jade. Absolutely absurd and blatantly unfair. Aside from those two problems, it truly is (one of) the greatest games on my phone. If you’re going to download, better have your wallet ready cause WOOWEE 🥵 unless you want to stay around level 9 and only have 4-5 characters for a year or so then power to ya. I do hope the content creators read this, I’m sure 95% or more of your players like myself are middle class & would have no problem spending $5-20 occasionally on this game if it were actually worth while *cough cough* (increase the amount of gems & coins we can get from the store significantly for the same price & you’ll see you’re profits go through the roof) *cough cough* hope this helps - yours truly, a concerned player

by Wtfididthisalready

this app is a great game and I can see why people say it’s pay to win since characters are easily obtained by spending money but within 2 months or less I’ve been able to get 9/10 characters (there’s more than 10 of course) without spending money at all you just have to grind harder that way and spend your tickets on chests that have the chance to get a character!! The main thing that bothers me with the game is the matchmaking I’ve had a lvl 2 character facing lvl 12 at times and there’s no winning that way at all!! Also the game only has one map and it seems to have been around for a decent amount of time with players that actually pay for the game! maps should be easy enough to create and I’ve heard from multiple players myself that they wish there was at least another map to play on and I agree 1000% I’d rather have a new map than very slight chances to an existing one!! The game is one of the most expensive ones I’ve seen charging around 9.99 a week when games like clash Royale only charges 5 a month! That being said a new map or arena should be made to advance the game and get a better following for the price that is charged and even if it were to be completely free it deserves a new one...just my input though from a gamer that’s played games for over 20 years

This game is a great time waster while I have nothing to do. I honestly love playing with my brother and cousins especially in this time with the virus. But, there are two flaws in my opinion, first, is the matchmaking. Sometimes, I get paired with people sometimes 2000 trophies above me with their character a higher level than I am. Second, is how many offers you have to get and how much they are. Most of the time, I feel like the money I pay in games help me a lot. In this game I feel like that, but I get so many offers that I think are way overpriced. Such as the battle pass. It’s $10 a week, but they could make it like 500 gems to buy the entire time until a new season. And they always have a character in the shop that is around 2000 gems, which is about $50. Very overpriced for such a small unit when I could just grind up for it. I also think how you get boxes is a bit rigged because you most of the time only get toolboxes which you don’t even have a chance to get a new character and a slim chance to get a power. I feel like they should have more boxes that could contain characters. Overall great game and I recommend playing.

by Silvia & Tiago

Ok, I absolutely love this game, but, there are many issues, like the issue of hitboxes, where even if you are just out the edge of a grenade or a bow shot you get hit and the issue where the diving item (don’t know the name) doesn’t work fast enough so Buck can just drag you out. Also, Jade’s passive does too much damage, I mean, thematically and in gamestyles, it’s great, but it is just too simple to kill someone with it, and the penguin’s (forgot his name) passive slow needs to be reduced a bit, because it is basically an infinite stun if he hits you once, or maybe reduce the duration, or even put a cooldown on the capability to apply this slow. Also, put us against people our level! I play as a level 8 Finn and constantly have to go to hell to try and outplay a level 12’s whole career, so, please fix this. Oh, and, for last, it is too hard to advance once you reach a certain level, as you end up against people a lot stronger than you, can’t get any more trophy rewards, take a lot longer to level up characters and never, get, a, new, character... because all we get is toolboxes, no crates, so, please, hear me out on these problems and damage ratios in general.

by VDH28

Has been my favorite game for many years now, but I don’t like the changes in the items where you only get them for your character and can’t use all the items you have collected thru time to customize your character like you use to could. Also the price jump, everything use to be $10-$15 and now the price jump is crazy, people could actually use money on this game but now it’s to expensive, but the game over all I have always loved it, it use to be the family game that me and my whole family played together now that it’s changed a lot of people has stopped playing! I believe they should put this game back to where your items can be used for any character like it use to, and the price should go down a lot for characters and the chances of you getting characters, for loyal players they should win a character every so often, and not have to spend a ton of money to get what they want! Also take the hackers out of the game! So many hackers able to boost their stuff up and have anything and everything! This game use to be 5 stars but now imma give it like a 4.2
ALSO FIX YALLS INTERNET PROBLEMS!!!!!! It’s always had some type of internet lag, and that hasn’t changed with any update ever!!!!

by Ndjxjcndn

This game is filled with fun and has much to work for. You’ll do just fine as a free player, but many people say it’s pay to win. This isn’t true, you can work or pay. I love that each character has a different set of abilities. This is something many games don’t have, instead it’s usually just looks like a skin for example. Once you get to know the characters, you see their personalities and it makes the game much more funny and fun. The map is small and simple, but good. They could add a little more but I’m sure they will in a future update. The excitement of opening a crate is really fun to look forward to, and the game is filled with highs and lows. Sometimes you’re disappointed that you got no character. Sometimes you’re so happy with your account. This adds to the game’s excitement and fun. I don’t personally see balance updates needed for now, but in the future they might need some with new characters. Something to add and improve is a way to play against friends. The only way to do this now is by hoping to get in the same match. Adding that as a game mode would be awesome. The game feels so well put together, you should at least give it a try. Also, join clan True Hunters, we add to the fun by giving a new character bounty every so often. So what are you waiting for? Download this app today!

Hi I am a fellow this app player and I feel that this games is VERY pay to win. I like that some games are like that but this is way too expensive for thing. Take gem prices for an example I feel the 100$ deal is fair but what about us kids that do not have that kind of money.I think the 20$ deal is ok but you need 60$ to unlock a new character which I feel is too expensive. I think the 20$ deal should have more gems like maybe 1700 or 2000 gems that seems fair. (to me at least). Also it’s the crate chances for a character I feel is wayyyyy to low in my opinion. I feel like the lowest should be 7 to 10%. Also I think some different maps would be cool like 2 or 3 different maps like you could make one map mostly water and another mostly bushes like in the savana. Finally some more characters would be cool ,and I know there are a lot already which I am happy about and I thank you for but maybe you could make some more water environmental creatures like and seal or a sting ray. The sting rays ability could be to electrocute somebody and stun them for a few seconds. If you could do any of these changes or different changes that would be nice.

by Dpb363nova

This game has probably been my go to game for the last year it’s got a big enough selection of characters to fit any play style for real time pvp players. The combinations of items you can run allows you to make those characters even more flexible. If there was anything I could change about this game it would probably be to request a variety of zoo maps or even if it was random, playing on the exact map with small additions here and there might bore some people, but don’t get me wrong The map they have made is quite large and how the fire closes in on different parts makes it so that final showdown for the king of the zoo battle quite exciting because if you have something like an animal that excels at being in water for example it might give a tactical advantage. This game is only really pay to win if you have no patience. it’s not the kind of game you can just hop to the top 100 on the leaderboard in a day. So if your ok with losing once in a while to still play without spending a dime it’s entirely possible, but the road will be rough. That’s what separates the pro players from the pay to win guys, I’ve witnessed a level 10 take out a 16 several times, it is possible if your smart.

by Hannahh G.

I love this game and really like how it’s very simple to maneuver with 4 weapons total and it is very clear which weapons are better which I have found difficult with other battle royals games. What I have found frustrating though is the fact that the high level sharks, eagles, and tigers can kill you instantly which is not necessarily fair. I also think the fox is awful, I would maybe make the bow deal more damage because he has little health plus can deal little damage. I feel like he is only good for picking up weapons. The biggest issue though which I feel like people usually talk about is the match making. I’m not sure how it is done but I should not be playing level 12 people with twice the trophies as me when I am level 8. Not sure how to fix that but the levels of your opponents should definitely match. I also think that when you are down in duos trios and team battle and you are revived you should definitely have more health because I usually just die instantly again which was a waste of being revived. Other then those issues I love this game and I love that you are constantly improving it and making new characters because that makes it so much more fun to play. Thanks!

by Snoop Doggo

The gameplay in this app is fun fast paced and has a great variety of weapons and characters. That is the only good things about the game. Everything else is trash. The leveling system is awful and it is near impossible to get trophies past 1200 unless you plan to sit in a bush until you get trophies since going out and facing the opponents that are 4 LEVELS ABOVE YOU is a bloodbath. Plus they made it even worse with the Grandmaster update. The matchmaking is terrible as well. You are constantly forced to face opponents that are ridiculous levels above you, not to mention the lag and terrible servers. I know it is hard to fix servers but at least fix it when it crashes and says JOINING EXISTING MATH.... and it never works and I end up losing trophies because of it. It is crazy hard to level up your characters and get new characters. It could take months before finally getting a new character, with crate odds that continue to get worse the more characters you get, which doesn’t seem fair at all. If you wanted to get a new character you would basically have to spend real money to get them. This game is PAY-TO-WIN. And even if you pay the prices are ridiculous. $100 for 2 new characters, ARE YOU SERIOUS. What were you thinking Wildlife. Horrible game. If you are looking for a fun game to play this is not the game.

by Daydreamsingray

This is the first review I’ve ever written and it is because I really love this game yet am truly discouraged at the “pay to win” style. I am all for spending some money on an app that is worth it ( which this one is ! ) but it is true that over time it becomes extremely unfair and discouraging to keep playing unless your willing to pay BIG money. More incentives based on game play or skill would make a lot of the fans stay and even invest more. I agree the you should be matched up with others your same level... or even some simple change like lessening the time it takes to open a box or level up time would be enough motivation to hold out. This game has so much potential and had became my favorite. But it seems I’m not the only one who was forced to put it down because you reach a point in the game where if you don’t spend money than it’s just not that enjoyable anymore. This game would’ve received 5 stars from me otherwise because I LOVE IT THAT MUCH. I don’t even like battle - like games AT ALL but this game was so well designed and thought out that you can’t help but fall for it. Thank you but please think of reconstructing the reward/level system or at the very least the match up algorithm 🙏

by Ashley🤝

hi this app team. I'm here to report stuff that I, and other people may come upon on. Let's start. First, are crashes ... I was playing this app, like always. I went to upgrade my Larry. But, when I touched "Characters" I got kicked out of the game. Is this a crash? Or just something that can happen out of nowhere? Please do whatever you can do, to fix this. And if you can't, it's ok too. Now, with the "invited by clan member" problem. You may ask, "WHY is this a problem?". Well, if you don't know, some members of the clan, maybe be a grandmaster 1, or higher. And once they get on a battle round, that one grand master guild member, may easily defeat all of the not grandmasters yet zoobers. Which is obviously, annoying. But, I understand this IS a game, NOT a perfect game!! So, once again. Try to fix this "invited by clan member" problem, please, and thank you. Now, with the "health bar" problem. People see it DIFFERENTLY. Maybe because of their level? Some see it as a 2 1 / 1, or something else. While another perdieron sees it as 2 bars, or something else. I haven't experienced this before, so I won't get into detail. I just know that people have this problem. If you can, once again, fix it, thank you. And if you can't that's ok too. Bye! Thx for reading this.

So what I have seen is people call this game “Pay To Win” I dont believe that for a second, because I have progressed through the game so much without spending money, so dont believe them! It just takes time and practice, you gotta work for what you want! I have strategies to help me win. Here is a few tips for people who struggle. 1. If you are a lower level, stay in the bushes and near the fire but not in it. 2. If you have fuzzy, pepper, earl, or any others that “throw” the spear, use knockback spear! It helps a lot to push others in the fire! 3. You can be aggressive with any character, not only buck, just dont be a try hard! 4. ALWAYS. OPEN. CRATES. You never know when you will get something new from a crate! It could be a character, item, or just some upgrades and coins for characters! 5. Have a pattern of moves! Ex. If you want a pattern for buck, I suggest doing his active move, spear, gun, and then bomb! 6. Fit in! Dont copy what items people use, be creative! 7. Compete in events! Event tickets can be very useful for crates, emotes, and skins for characters! Thats all I have for now! Keep calm and play this app! (•w•)
