This is a nice alternative to Road to Survival from those blood-suckers at $copely, but the biggest difference, and flaw, is that the battles are entirely automated. You do get a slight bit of strategy in that you can pick your formations and equip buffs, but other than that the actual gameplay is non-existent. I guess that comes with the territory, though... most people know what to expect from mobile games like this that are all potatoes and no meat. As long as you complete all of the tasks given you shouldn't have a problem keeping up enough resources to progress, abet slowly. In one week of playing I've earned about twenty-five 5* characters and am ready to upgrade them to 6* (and beyond). I'll admit to spending money, only because I'm desperate to be active in a decent MMO zombie game, and I don't regret doing it. I've certainly received more from completing tasks and random free drops than from what I've bought, but I can definitely see how the paying player has an overall advantage when it comes to getting more stuff faster. Still, they absolutely do NOT repeatedly bash you over the head with it like $copely does. If you spend $50 or $100 here, your ass is getting a character and a lot of resources. Compare that to spending $100 in Road to Survival, where you get a certain number of (very small) chances at obtaining a character. I'll never fault a "pay X and receive Y" system... it's the "pay X and receive a chance at Y" that downright disturbs me. The English is sometimes difficult to understand, especially in the descriptions of events and activities, but they try and there's nothing you won't master within a week or two with trial and error. The artwork is very, very good, even if some of the characters are blatant ripoffs of other more popular ones. They're still fun. The guild features are excellent and I appreciate the expanded profiles that each player has. So few games pay attention to these things so it's nice to find one that cares, even about the little things like including a block of text for a custom profile message. It's not perfect by any stretch, but I do love it, so five stars.

Confusing tutorial that has you click click clicking through dozens of dialog boxes instead of slowly introducing you to me concepts over time. I have no idea how this game or any of the dozens of things work, and I've been playing RPGs for 25 years. Character customization seems non existent. Battles are boring. Poor English translation. Overwhelming main menu. Hard pass.
