Earn to Die Rogue in IOS

★★★★★ App Store Editors’ Notes

★★★★★ My rating

Okay so when I first saw this there were only 5 reviews and I wanted to take a couple days to play the game for a review. I gave it 4 stars because I do like the game. It’s added a new part to the Earn To Die games I’ve played as a kid. Newer times makes different things out of older stuff. I think the rooms stuff was a fun mix, but you’re definitely dependent on the room part it feels. And less driving which kinda felt odd but different time than how things were. Also no I don’t believe car pieces break off y’all haven’t seen it happen yet lol. Power ups kinda funny to I think there silly and fun, oh also the voice and lines were a real throwback for me hahahaha. I usually play this 30minutes to 3hours on the week days mostly, I like this new version of Earn To Die for sure. It was fun to explore an old game made for a newer generation. So I guess you’re asking why not 5 stars, well I guess it’s because it doesn’t feel perfect. Nothings perfect in my opinion, if things were than what would be next? Nothing, nothing would be next. But honestly really fun and something I enjoy I dono if this was made by the Earn To Die makers themselves but yk what it’s a fun little game with a little bit of throwbacks to the old games. Thank you for reading my Ted Talk yall😂 enjoy the game

★★★★★ Good gameplay, no customization

Okay so this was a great game and all, actually awesome gameplay, but I wish you could customize a little more. The equipment doesn’t actually show up on the character, which annoys me more than it should. Also someone else said something about how some of the upgrades are identical? That’s also very true but if these things are changed I will give five stars. The Lunar Rush Event was OK, but for better events you could give out limited time equipment and characters(yes I’m tired of using Greyson) as well as car skins, like in CRASH OF CARS! Side note: y’all need to look at how much work they put into the graphics. The backgrounds are like a Van Gogh painting. EDIT: The addition of the new survivors is great really gives you something to work towards. Updates are a little more meaningful now, still a yet to see a crazy event. Still waiting on gear to show up on my character tho. EDIT 2: Coule things I’ve noticed. Both just quality of life. The birds that dive at you have practically no visual cues to tell you they’re about to dive, and also, what did you do to the ragdoll effects? I’m seeing that they’ve basically been replaced by zombies exploding into arms and legs! Kind of ruins the satisfaction of combat

★★★★★ Great, but a few things need to be worked on

First off, I would like to say that I do enjoy the game. I haven't gotten too far but the progression seems to be fine and not bogged down by pay-to-win features. However, I have some qualms about the upgrades. Many of them seem to do the same thing. Blood Bag and Fungus are essentially the same thing, except one is dependent on getting a zombie room. And Golden Apple just seems to be worse than those 2. Gasoline and radiation both do DOT and aren't special enough to really care about running one over the other. Echo bullet and side magazine seem to be the same. If not, then one is just worse than the other. Another thing about upgrades is that some of them are just not explained well enough. The Astro Helmet seems to only be one time use, but maybe it's not? And how much damage reduction does it give? Water Bottle says +25% heal and overheal goes to max, but I assumed that was a +25% heal buff to future healing and that it would give me max HP from after I overhealed in the future. Also, the upgrade pool isn't that expansive. I'm sure that will be addressed in the future (hopefully.) Anyways, that's about all I've noticed from a few hours playing.

★★★★★ Cash grab

I never write reviews but I’m tired of free games needing you to spend money for any effect on the game. I’ll start off by saying the game is fun. I think they did a good job with new feature and I’ve always liked the driving part, but you need to play the character part to earn some of your later car upgrades then there is a point were you can’t earn anymore rewards in a day. I’ve played ff7 a bunch so I know what end game grinding is and that’s something I don’t want to do at the beginning of a game I’ve already spent 50-60 dollars which I never do and I believe I’ll have to spend more to even think about getting to the last level by the end of the year so if you like playing levels over and over again without too much of a reward because the real rewards are in the store were you have to spend money. I would rather spend 20 dollars on a game like this and I probably would so I could earn weapons and gear naturally in the game as a game reward instead of through a way that try’s to get me to open up my wallet! I just wish cell phone games would quit this practice that really hurts true games from hitting the market it’s a 15 dollars value at max and should never have to watch a 45 second long commercial for extra benefits

★★★★★ Earn to die? more like Earn the chance to drive. Not worth a try if youre looking for the past games

in reality this game is not exactly like the previous games where the drive through zombies part is actually more sidelined to force you to play multi room stage level where you play as a guy with a gun jumping around killing waves of zombies til eventually fighting a bullet sponge and bullet hell type final boss at the end with whatever abilities you chose along the way, which granted is fun at first but gets repetitive after numerous tries when im trying to play the main game that its named after/advertised as. When doing those levels you can complete missions that will grant you scrap to then upgrade the cars instead of using money like before but becomes very tedious since you only get 3 missions a day unless you watch an AD to get another mission but beside that you hardly get any scrap to upgrade, you can also get scrap on driving levels but not sufficient enough to make a big impact so it just forces you back to grinding those out of the car missions that just gets more and more repetitive. Its very disappointing since these games were one of my favorite childhood games.

★★★★★ Promising, yet disappointing

I am a huge fan of the previous games, so I thought this game would be for me. The first few weeks of playing this game are really fun. I really like the roguelike in person system. However, this system is way more important to the game than the driving, which most of the time seems useless. The ads are also so necessary to beating this game that it really turns me away from wanting to play. However, I could still like this game with ads and even with the driving section feeling like a mini-game. The true problem with this game is the balance. Some weapons are useless, but even with the most useful equipment you will eventually hit a wall in progress. Getting past epic equipment is close to impossible, and without that you cannot make it past room 13. Upgrading takes forever and is hard to do, and unlocking new cars takes so long when each level takes a miracle to beat. It’s a shame because this game has promise, so hopefully the dev team can balance it and fix its glaring issues.

★★★★★ Bad form

Locking both modes content behind each other is seriously F’d up especially given the precipitous plateau of gear and the fact that you literally can’t rely on perks given how random they are AND that at a certain point the levels are filled with like 6-8+ flying shooters and a ton of melees to the point you literally can’t do enough damage fast enough regardless of weapon to even ATTEMPT to get out with your health above zero. Even gear perks are oft useless or meh and are locked again behind super rare high value versions you won’t commonly be able to obtain. Driving is annoying too cause you rely on metal from missions(oft ridiculous demanding things you can’t control like perk based kills or crits you have zero control over) to level the car up to go. Also annoying is that money and stuff doesn’t reset when you drive so you can literally gain nothing by driving and random missed stuff becomes impossible to get to 100% the mission and get the gold keys you need badly locked behind 100%ing each drive mission.
