    I'm so jealous of you guys! I haven't had a chance to spend any real quality time with this game. Hopefully, this week weekend will change that.

    App Store's facebook profile has posted about it!

    Great exposure there. I wish this means many more sales!

    Mrwubbs, not yet.

    Hey!

    Here's for the tips.

    1st. You should play with randomized characters for while, just to learn what perks and traits do in game.

    2 nd. Don't waste your time killing all zombies. They ain't dropping nothing.
    When you can avoid fighting avoid it.
    In the first few days they're pretty easy to outrun.

    3 rd. Experiment, experiment, experiment.
    A bad choice does not always lead to a bad consequence. And vice versa. Try things even though you already got a bad result does not mean it will always lead you to your doom.

    4 th. Find the right control for you. Lately I really enjoy 5/50. Feels tight but not too much.

    5th. Create characters you will meet during your travel. Once you know more about perk/traits it can give you a small edge.

    6 th. Try to get some heavy weaponery for the last siege. Smg, Assault Rifle, chainsaw, grenades. Anything that can pack a punch. You will need it. Believe me.

    7th. Paranoid, berserker and charming traits are two I like very much, but thats personnal.

    8th. Like someone here said. Think it was Dankrio. Approach this game with fun in mind not "I want to beat the game at all cost". Cause you will die. And die and die. Been playing for 30 hours and never finished it! Been close many times. And it's GOTY for me. The thrill is in the ride.

    9. Throw stuff, throw stuff, THROW STUFF.

    10. You can close doors behind you when you enter/exit a room to buy time.

    The more you play the more you'll understand the game mechanics. Down't mean getting to Canada will ever be easy though!



    That's all I can think of right now!
    Have fun!

    Yeah I really want to add ez screenshot sharing...

    We're going to take a look at this after we do mFI controller support. Though we may hold off on it until after we do our multiplayer revamp. That's going to include splitscreen support and other improvements. That's the focus of our update scheduled for a couple months from now.

    This game really needs some TouchArcade easter eggs, am I right or am I right?

    Love rogue games. This is a great game. I just suck at it. I can't even make it past day 3. I usually play normal or the special character mode.

    I am a compulsive game purchaser....

    I have thousands of games in my steam library and probably manage to spend over 1k (maybe even 2) in the App Store every single year. With all that said, and already having this game on PC, I have to say, this is probably one of the best games I've had on IOS since the App Store came out.

    As far as longevity this game is up there with Cataclysm DDA in my book. Great game!

    That is all :)

    Some TA people are in my games. BUT I MADE YOU!


    But ya.... Kepa. Make a TA trader camp pls? One where people are to busy to trade because they are to busy arguing about pricing and you can steal their food or ammo.

    I been playing the game all day on and off in short bursts and i just died after getting pretty far. Is there anything to show for my efforts or was it a complete waste of time? The game is good but I need some kind of progression like unlockable features or something to keep playing over and over, because dying in this game is infuriating. Game sessions also take a while.
