Remember when we wrote a few articles a few years ago heavily criticizing the In-App Purchases scam scheme? Well now, at least those games had some limits, at least in those games you could buy and buy and buy and buy, spend $1000, spend $2000, spend $5000 and finally you reach a limit, finally you bought everything and you unlocked the game in its full. After you did that and you still had a functioning brain, you realize that you just threw thousands of precious dollars away on the window on some meaningless app which you will eventually stop playing some day. Such is the case of the majority of mobile games nowadays but hey we’ve got a new Chinese or Taiwanese game for you in store: STATE OF SURVIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The mother of all in-app purchases. In this game you don’t actually have a limit and you never fully unlock as per-say the entire game, you can just buy virtual stuff unlimited, like forever, sell your car, sell your house, put it all in this game…. There are actually people out there who like fools spent as much as $70,000 and called it an “investment”. Just imagine buying a Windows PC game with an upfront payment of $10,000, like Call of Duty or FIFA 2021 for example. Wouldn’t you think that’s insane? Well somehow people spent that much on a crappy Chinese game and some probably don’t even feel any remorse for it. Now this is a classic example why the wrong people have too much money and the right people either don’t have any or just too little. Give it to the poor instead, donate it to a homeless person not to a low-life Asian scam game.
This game is getting somewhat popular mostly because of fake YouTube ads where they show Zombie invasions, fights, invading your base, overwhelming, etc when in reality the game has little to do with zombies and almost everything to do with other players. Its a Player Vs Player war game with a zombie spin. Your entire interaction with zombies is when you make a rally on some Infected Fiends for basically unknown reasons because the rewards are crap after you kill the Fiends, when you attack zombie packs in the wild also for unknown reasons because the rewards are even crappier and when in the morning you wake up and you find a useless zombie pack at your barricaded door mumbling like retards to get in. All you need to do is a single tap on them to destroy them and you’re back to normal. The only single real interaction with zombies which is actually fun is the explore mode but even that gets repetitive and boring and the rewards are also useless junk you don’t need. Some of the bosses there are ridiculously annoying like the fat boss who farts to regenerate life and throws exploding half-corpses at you, that thing is almost impossible to kill later on in game no matter how much you upgrade your heroes unless you spend a couple of thousands of dollars on gears and legendary fragments. Its not enough that it does super heavy damage when a corpse blows up near your heroes, taking more than half of their lives but just when you thought you did some damage to the farting boss, bam, he farts and he regenerates back to full life again… then there’s also another fat boss who slams his fist to the ground and he can even be in the total opposite part of the room but he will still take a lot of damage to your heroes when he slams the ground. That one is also super annoying and almost impossible to kill. Other than those 2, the others are fun to fight with, hard but doable.
Events and Ranking Rewards
Now back to the cash milking scheme… the game has “Events” where it basically just asks players to do certain tasks to get rewards. Problem with those events is that they not only give the standard rewards but there are also hidden EXTRA rewards which most of the times are better than the rewards of the event itself. Those are called the Ranking Rewards where you get tens of thousands of almost completely useless biocaps (diamonds, gems) + valuable speedups and legendary fragments needed to upgrade your heroes. Problem is these rewards are for the entire state and the spenders will ALWAYS get those and not only that but at some point they will ALWAYS get them regardless of if they continue to spend more or not. Because lets say you just got 80 hours of speedups in rewards for ranking first, well obviously now you have enough speedups to rank first AGAIN, in the next event. This is just down-right retarded. Whoever came up with this idea must have been dropped in the head as a baby or something because the players who are on top will just continue to be on top forever and ever and at that point even if you decide to become a spender also you will simply not ever reach them because they are basically getting rewarded to stay on top forever. Once you catch that lucky train you will never loose it unless you stop playing for a lot of days or weeks. This creates huge discrepancies among players and this is why the game is a total mess suffering from tens of thousands of players just abandoning their accounts because there are simply no incentives to play anymore after a certain point.
Wouldn’t it be more normal to be some sort of EQUALITY among the players??? You simply just cannot have a normal successful PVP game like this. Those who are already rich don’t need to become even richer. There shouldn’t have been such a thing as Ranking Rewards. Of course it is convenient to those in the top who benefit from them and if you ask them what’s their opinion well obviously they enjoy getting all the goodies but what about the rest? This is like privileges for the elites. Ohh you just spent all your speedups to rank number 1? Well no worries, here’s your speedups back so you can advance even faster and rank number 1 again in the next event…. Jeeeeesus Christ, who came up with this???
There are also events impossible to ever complete, like today’s events for example for Halloween in Devil’s Night. You are asked to reach about 600K points by using hero gear parts or biocaps. Problem is, there are only so many upgrades for the hero parts and if you already maxed them, bye bye, or even if you haven’t maxed them, the highly intelligent game awards only 20 points per 1 hero gear part. Well let’s say you do 2 upgrades and use like 1280 parts which is a lot of parts actually… you only earn 25600 points for the event while you need 600K to complete the event, here take a look:
The Hero Gear Designs seem to grant more points but problem is they are too rare and nobody really has enough to make a single upgrade using them. There are only 3-9 Hero Gear Design maps awarded after every Influencer Trap according to your ranking and you need lots of them to do upgrades and almost nobody was able to score well in this event, not even top players. This is not how you celebrate Halloween… Chief Gear is also becoming impossible to upgrade now since these scammers enlongated the road toward Legendary sets by adding more armors. First they ask you for alloys, glues and gear boxes which you earn from Infected Horde but then they start asking you for some stupid maps called “Tactical Gear Design” which you ONLY can buy from Reservoir Raid store. The problem with that is that first your alliance has to include you in the RR event because the morons who made the game thought that it would be a good idea for only 30 members to participate in the RR while the rest 70 just stand by and watch… now even if you are included, as a non-spender you already have weak gears, weak this, weak that and very few points are awarded through gathering water. Most points are awarded from killing enemy troops. As you guessed it, being weak is not gonna help you kill enemy troops so there you have it, you’re gonna score low points and earn only a few coins again thanks to the retard who came up with the idea of “RANKING REWARDS”. Low ranking low rewards… Normally RR should give points ONLY from gathering water and not a single point from killing troops, but since there’s nothing normal in this game, what can you expect?
Using biocaps is also not an option as most likely not only you don’t have enough biocaps to complete the event but there’s literally NOTHING to spend them on. This is why we said that biocaps are ALMOST completely useless. This is perhaps the first and only game in the world where only REAL money will get you somewhere while gems, diamonds (in this case biocaps) get you nowhere and nothing. There is literally nothing of value you can buy with the biocaps. Not even a second permanent construction slot or a HQ skin or a frame or something. If you don’t buy it with real money, they just ask you to buy it for 2 days for 500 biocaps over and over again… Then there’s the VIP store and the Biocap store where you can actually buy some useless crap, nothing of good value, but even there purchases are LIMITED. Like you can only buy 50 speedups for example, after which you need to wait 2-3 more days for the store to refresh…… the task is literally impossible to complete. You have nothing to spend biocaps on unless you wanna simply throw them away on useless junk you have no use for. Biocaps are useful sometimes such as in the case of buying buffs or march accelerators and stuff and this is exactly why you SHOULDN’T throw them away on useless garbage in the VIP store and Biocap store.
Now if you think that’s bad, wait there’s more. There is actually MORE stupid stuff going on in this game. At the same time with this Devil’s Night event there’s also the usual boring Survival of the Fittest event and they didn’t even synced the days to ask for the same things. So while TODAY’s Devil’s Night is asking for Hero Gear Parts, Survival of the Fittest is going to ask for Hero Gear Parts TOMORROW! As if you have an infinite amount of parts at your disposal or an infinite amount of upgrades to make in both events. Remember you can only make a few upgrades after which you’re maxed and you don’t even win parts so easily. These two events should have been synced and both should have asked for hero gear parts in the same day. Then there’s also the infected farmer thing. They gave this zombie boss which gave like a few biocaps and speedups which could have been a boost especially for the speedups, it was worth to attack him and waste your stamina on it but hey you can’t even joyfully do that as you might gather too many speedups, no no no!!!!!!!!! Speedups are for the spenders only don’t you know??!!!!!!!!!! There was an actual limit in attacking the farmer. 1 per hour……….. unbelievable…. Guaranteed everyone was left with dozens of useless pumpkins in their backpacks. At least they should have allowed to use the pumpkins at any given time, to spawn a farmer. Wouldn’t this be smarter? Imagine keeping your pumpkins and spawning a farmer in the middle of summer 2021 or maybe in spring of 2021, out of the blue, surprising your alliance members, wouldn’t everyone be shocked? OHHHHH WOW you still have those?? But nope “Event finished” error is what the game developers prefer… according to their twisted minds, this is better. How would you using a pumpkin to spawn a farmer in April 2021 for example affect them?? What loss would they have? Absolutely nothing, they did the same with the Lab Access Cards for the Infected Scientists, Birthday Hats for Troublemaker Todd, etc. A lot of stuff is incoherent and illogical in this game.
Battle Power Discrepancy
It is simply abnormal to have such discrepancies among players. Imagine playing Mortal Kombat which is also PVP where Raiden throws one punch and takes 90% of his enemy’s life while Sub-Zero throws one punch to take only 1% of the enemy’s life. Or imagine playing Call of Duty multiplayer where you have a normal rifle while your enemy has a special rife which kills everyone with one shot regardless of where the bullet hit, arm, leg, wherever, while your normal rife would only take 0.5% damage even in the case of head-shot. What’s the point of playing? There needs to be equality among players. Of course not total equality as yeah spenders do need to differentiate themselves somehow but this is just not the way when you have a 5-star spender with 500 Million Battle Power who only plays a few minutes or hours a day and non-spender with only 50 Million who plays non-stop day and night trying to catch up with the spenders… The problem is the game doesn’t care about the non-spenders as they are only after your credit card but there’s a catch which the developers didn’t understand. They don’t care about the non-spenders but everyone else does. You can’t have an alliance or a game or anything without those pesky non-spenders. They are crucial to the game but because they are mistreated (not by alliance members, but by the game developers) then they simply just quit the game entirely and then the spenders quit also… I know clear examples of someone who was a super-spender, reached level 30 HQ in less than a month, had a top alliance number 3, his non-spender members just started to quit and quit and quit and then the spenders also started to quit and quit and even the alliance leader dismantled the alliance and quit the game entirely after investing all the cash into it. Some moved to other alliances but some just quit the game entirely.
The top spender will obviously become the governor and he will never be dethroned unless he quits the game but who would quit at that point? So playing a game which you basically know you will never have the chance of winning? There is no “win” per-say but becoming the governor should be considered winning… Wouldn’t it make more sense if everyone had powers according to the work they put in and everybody had a real chance at becoming the governor some day?
The game is handicapped and it has reached almost a point of total collapse as people are quitting the game, states are dying and become inactive because new players are sent to newly created states where they all start from 0. So people are quitting older states but nobody new is added to them unless someone chooses to manually go there, and even THAT is limited, you can only do so in the first 5 days while maximum level 6… Yup, some veeeery smart people designed this game… It is understandable that you shouldn’t be able to port to newer states where everyone is weak but why can’t you move to a older states? Lets say you are from state 200, you should be able to move to 195 for example, at any time as this would be in your disadvantage and back to 200 but never to 201 for example… whatever! Chinese intelligence at work here!
State merging
They are now thinking about merging states because people are simply not playing anymore under such vile conditions but merging states is almost impossible. What are they gonna do with the alliances and the territories they conquered with towers? It has even come to the point where strong spender players avoid attacking weaker players too often as to not make them rage quit the game as the states are already filled up with more abandoned accounts than active ones.
The problem with state merging is that even if the developers would want to do it, that would only make things worse because it would just bring more whale players among the free to play players who are already having a hard time. Additionally the deader a state is, the more evil its people are. Take state X for example, there’s a guy there named Y (sorry we can’t give the exact data), he killed everyone in his entire state, now he’s left alone there with a bunch of a few others around him. Why would anyone want that particular individual in their state? So he can kill that other state too like he killed his state?
What the developer should do to end all of these problems is simply move the users by power in the same states. Remove spender whales from states, put them together in a state for super spenders only. The free to play players don’t need to be reminded non-stop that they have 50 mil BP and the governor has 1 billion BP and they are nobodies who can be crushed at any given time if they dare to say anything that might upset the king of the state. The few free players that are left, live in fear, they barely chat, they are afraid of expressing their opinions. This game promotes communist dictatorship and tyranny. It’s simple, really, just merge all the super spenders together in one state, the moderate spenders in other states and all the free players in other states. Separate them by BP.
Plasma HQ and the end of the game
When you reach level 30 you should basically consider that the end of the game and you can hit the uninstall button. Do not even try to venture into the plasma realm unless you are clinically insane. They will only give about 10 free plasmas a day + a few dozen more from intel. Problem is you need 20000 plasmas just for Plasma research lab to get T11 troops. T12 are already in the plans and then T13, T14 and so on. It is obvious now that the developers will keep releasing more and more stuff just to milk cash from fools. In the plasma world, you don’t just hit the upgrade button on your buildings and wait the given time. Nope in the plasma world, aside from the resources needed, you also need plasmas to upgrade your buildings and they are very rare and expensive to get with real money.
Now to make things worse, they have just released this “Purification Center” where you convert tens of thousands of normal plasma into “purified plasma” so you can upgrade your buildings to level 6 7 8 stars. There, you need not only the purified plasma but also normal plasma to upgrade just one single line. Every building needs 5 lines of upgrades before finally changing its star.
Here you convert 150 plasmas into 3-9 purified plasmas but worry not, they give you now 1-5 extra per day for free in exchange for resources.
Just trust this review and uninstall the moment your HQ reaches level 30, consider that the end of the game, do not even try to go into the plasma realm. The game is simply insane at this point. Just when you think you are catching up a little with the big whales, BOOM! The developers drop T6 heroes, T12 troops, Plasma level 6, 7, 8 stars, Red Chief Gear, New Badges and so on. Now let’s assume you haven’t uninstalled the game at this point, just as you are approaching to max out on the newly released stuff, BOOM, they will release a new batch again, T7-T8 heroes, Plasma 9-10 stars, T13 troops, black armors and so on and you will be stuck in a greedy meaningless game where its purpose is to just spend money for power and in the end all that power for what? Just so you can intimidate the little ones into quitting? The game is mess, it’s simply insane, it prove how inherently greedy and stupid Chinese people are as a nation, oriented only towards power and money.
In-game corruption and bosses who receive free stuff from the developers
It has long been speculated by players in the state that some players are simply getting their stuff for FREE from the developers in order to look good and make others envious and incentivize them to spend. Additionally these “advertiser players” are being instructed to never disclose this and keep peace in the state so players don’t quit because quitting = loss of money for KingsGroup.
However people are people and people can’t keep secrets for too long and the truth and screenshots are beginning to leak on Discord. Here’s one screenshot and everybody knows that there is no such reward from any event. There also isn’t such a bundle available to buy anywhere in the store. Look at this player, he (or she) received 60K biocaps, 1500 plasmas, and 2000 or 3000 tactical gear designs (we can’t distinguish if it’s a 2 or 3).
The player had to wipe all identifiable information as it risks having it’s account banned over making this screenshot public. This player probably has the Red Gear maxed which they released 8 of and 8 more soon, then you wonder why some players are sharks and others are small fry but make no mistake about it, not everybody is this lucky to get this stuff free. Only a select few, the vast majority actually spent real money to get to where they are.
Fake Play Store ratings, downright bullying and sexual harassment
Due to power discrepancies, people are being bullied into submission, if you are a man, you will loose the tiniest grain of manlyhood you may have while playing this game, you will learn to live in fear and keep your mouth shut or else…. basically it’s anti-freedom of speech just like a communist dictatorship. Now what about the players who have extreme power?
They will talk down, insult and abuse the little ones with even cases of sexual harassment and racism. Google is usually very sensitive about this, but because this game generates so much revenue which Google also cashes in on, they are conveniently turning a blind eye as long as the cash keeps going in both from in-app purchases and from fake advertisements in Google Adsense.
Many of the reviews in Play Store are simply FAKE reviews with people including simple comments such as “amazing game” or “great game, I love it”. Something is definitely wrong with those reviews. The more elaborate reviews are always 1 star rating while the short simple comments are 5 stars.
Here’s a few example’s of bullying:
The developer always say to report these players to them but if they are spenders, the developers or the moderators NEVER do anything to them. No measures are being taken. Only the weak free to play players are punished. As for the alliances its true, in all states you will see that the Chinese alliances are always number 1 or 2.
Other general problems with the game
Another example of pure idiocracy in the game is the map searches in HERO Precinct. Even though you are searching for Hero fragments in the Hero Precinct, when you do Advanced Searches, you RARELY get a hero fragment. Most of the times you just get tomatoes, gas, wood and other useless stuff. The Epic Searches are a bit more normal but not by far… The rewards in those map searches should never contain any resources and they should ALWAYS contains at least 1 hero fragment + skill books + combat manuals, chief gear tools, hero gear parts, only things necessary for heroes because that’s why they are called hero searches… whatever.
Now while we’re at heroes talking about them, everyone acts as if its normal but nobody really knows what the hell are Hero Gear and Chief Gear? Ok Hero Gear is obviously equipment for the heroes but what in the world is chief gear??? Extra armor for the heroes??? You put armor over your armor? Two pair of shoes? It makes no sense whatsoever, nor is it explained anywhere who is the “chief”. You also have a thing called “chief xp” which is just completely retarded. Who is the chief? Seriously? Sarge? But he already has hero gear so what’s with the chief gear and chief xp? Whatever that’s not so important, it is how it is…
The game itself is very moronic and extremely boring after you reach HQ level 30. Events are repetitive and boring, upgrading stuff is impossible because you won’t have the necessary parts so you just stand there and do nothing and they consider that this is a “game”…. what can you do? Do stupid boring intel, make some Alliance donations, do your free map searches, train some troops and you call it a day…
The game is an example of pure corporate greed, no matter how hard you work you can never achieve enough in this game if you don’t pay at the very least $2000. They don’t even give a permanent skin or a frame for free no matter what you do. I mean sure they are giving now the Halloween permanent skin for free but only to the top 10 spenders in the entire state who rank first in the event. Paying for them makes sense for players who do not play enough and do not do the tasks but giving them for free to players who work hard to accomplish certain tasks also makes even better sense but that’s just not the case in this game. They are just out of reach if you are a non-spender. They won’t even give the skins with no benefits for free, let alone those which add +5% attack or defense or something… you can’t even buy them with the almost completely useless biocaps, only with real money and lots and lots of them, pure corporate greed. It is so greedy, despite being a multiplayer game, it does not allow TRADE of items. This might be the only multiplayer game in the world where players cannot trade items. Why? Well why receive something you need from another player when you can just BUY it instead? Buy buy buy buy buy, in China, logic, humanity or compassion are myths, only money matter: “You buy, 5 dolla!!! No trade for you!” This is not how American similar games are like League of Legends or Fortnite for example. You get this kind of greed only with stupid Chinese games. NEVER play Asian games!
Don’t get us wrong, the concept of the game is very interesting despite not being original and just a stolen idea from American or European similar mobile games which predate this one such as Clash of Clans. This game is very catchy in the beginning, addicting and has its charms which keeps you playing as if you always have some mini-task to do, timer help your allies, collect rss, do intel, explore, chat with colleagues, upgrade a hero, etc. but after you reach HQ 30 its like you hit a brick wall. There’s still things which you could THEORETICALLY do such as plasma upgrades, chief gear and hero gear upgrades but problem is the game is not gonna give you enough parts to upgrade. I mean it will but you need to play weeks or even months for a single armor upgrade. People are quitting in masses and the states are dying and the developers don’t know why. Gee I wonder why….
They even continue to give hero fragments for heroes which you already have maxed. Why couldn’t they give parts for heroes which are NOT maxed?? YES including for those legendary ones, I mean why not? Its not like you’re gonna get rich from a few fragments a day from intel but at least you have something to do, you have a goal so you’re gonna continue playing.
After all of this said, we have a cherry to add on top of everything. State Warfare. There’s not something wrong with the concept, its good and fun BUT there’s a few problems with it which makes dozens of people quit after each and every single SVS event. The problem is that while people are usually advising their colleagues to BUBBLE up during SVS if they do not participate……
a) maybe some people are away traveling for a few days or no internet or something
b) maybe you had a medical emergency especially now during the CHINESE Coronavirus pandemic, not having time to play a retarded CHINESE phone game
c) maybe you simply just don’t speak English or Chinese since the game is predominantly full of Chinese and you didn’t understand what you are being told
Then after SVS when they come back in the game and find themselves zeroed, not a single troop left alive… what do you think its gonna happen? Many people quit the game and never come back. After every SVS, there’s a few dozens in each state who permanently quit. Imagine having 300-500K troops and a total BP of 50-70mil which you hardly earned after days and nights lost only when you return into the game after a SVS to find yourself with 0 troops and 30mil BP. Some are gonna rebuild but some are gonna quit.
this is the most moronic thing ever and we thought the Asian people were supposed to be intelligent people, high IQ…. not really, may aspects of this game prove it that they are below the standard of human. Its almost as if it was invented by 70-IQ savages. NOTHING and we literally mean NOTHING is well thought in this game. Everything is like a low-IQ copy of an already existent game which is much better.
What is the solution to this? Is it really so complicated? Yeah well when you’re Asian with an IQ of 70-80, then yeah everything is complicated but really what’s the solution????? Just add a fucking SHIELD, a BUBBLE to everyone for the entire duration of the SVS event. The bubble must be deactivated ONLY MANUALLY if the user comes into the game and does an attack or something.
This SVS event while being fun and all, is like a PURGE event and all because of a damn bubble. I personally know at least 5 people who quit after SVS. 2 in my alliance, 3 from another alliance but I imagine there are a lot more than that and I just don’t know about them. 2 of those were super spenders, like they spent hundreds of dollars but only played occasionally, not non-stop like addicts and this is exactly what happened to them, when they logged in to play they found themselves ZEROED and their reaction was….? “Fuck this game! Fuck this shit! You want my account? I can give it to you if you want, if not Im just gonna uninstall this crap game.” I knew these people but Im not gonna name the names and say the state number. That is irrelevant to you the reader of this.
On top of everything said the game is very laggy even on top premium devices like Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G and all new updates always break something and pile up on bugs. For example the latest update broke the chat AGAIN.
This game is perfectly summarized in this video:
