Too much focus on $$
Sat Feb 12 2022 Adonai is loveThis 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!
My go to game
Thu Mar 20 2025 svenseverinI have been playing this game for a couple of years, and personally love everything about it. Whenever I had a rough day, and just need to take my mind off things I play this game. I love how they are always adding new characters, skins, and emotes. I disagree with people who don’t like the match making, and think it is fun because you never know who you will get teamed up against, and in the end it’s all a game if we’re going to be real. I also love the adrenaline of the idea of loosing trophies if you don’t survive a certain amount of time, and gaining them if you survive farther. This game has no ads (unless you choose to for rewards), and although there are many things that you can purchase, it is more of a play to win than a pay to win. In closing, I definitely recommend this game, but a piece of advice, don’t give up because there are sweats all the time. All you have to do is practice for a couple of weeks, and after a while you will get into the medium level matches where there are a lot less sweats, and you won’t tend to encounter them until you become one (yes, there are more sweats in the beginner matches than the more average player matches, because all you have to do is not have a lot of trophies with a new character to access these matches again). I was not paid to make this review, and I hope it helps encourage more to play this game I love.
Great Game!! but have suggestions to make game better.
Wed Aug 28 2024 Avery!08963I love the game and I play it basically every day. Here are a few suggestions to make the game better though. I feel like we should be able to communicate with my team when we are sitting in the menu waiting on everyone to get ready , i play with my family so i would like to be able to text them on the screen to talk. If there could be a chat with just your team on the side it would be very nice. Also when i’m playing it is very aggravating when a level 20 character comes up and completely kills my whole team and you can’t even kill them. Another suggestion is that when you get to league 19 trying to get to 20, that it is not so hard to get new characters and trophies. It is almost impossible to get to league 20 and get new characters. I have 45/47 of the characters and i should be able to get one more but it won’t let me get it no matter what i buy. Also, it is very hard to upgrade my characters. I have to buy crate bundles if i want to upgrade a character. I would like to be able to get character tokens another way other then crates. i have level 18 characters that will never make it to level 19 because i can never get enough character tokens. I would really like it if this could be looked at and thought about for new features.
I ❤️ THIS GAME BUT…
Wed Jun 21 2023 A zooba playerI LOVE zooba soooooo much and I’m addictive to this really fun game! I recommend it a lot!! 👍🏼👍🏼it’s really fun and entertaining and there’s a lot of stuff to do like leveling up and and playing other modes and clans and all the other stuff but there’s somethings I don’t really like about this game no offense! So something I know other people don’t like is really high level people because so many times this happen to me like one time when I was a level 5 I was playing with nix and I saw a level 16 frank and I was like oh nah do NOT get next to me and it’s just not fair for players. I would like if the game had a level or 2 or 3 tops or lower than the characters level and if that’s not possible then at least put CPU’s . Another thing I don’t like about this game is that it takes forever to level up once your character is a level 10 or higher it takes a pretty long time if you don’t buy any coins/gems but I did so my characters are pretty high level and it was pretty easy but I would like for the higher crates to be free for people that don’t want to pay but like obviously the higher the crate the more rare it is to get if they were for free. So over all I still LOVE THIS GAME but there’s just things I know other people don’t like about it too so we would really appreciate it if you did these updates and it would be a lot better 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 (also pls reply because In other games they never reply to my reviews 😕)
Matchmaking is still TERRIBLE
Fri Apr 21 2023 Koopstina from Zoobai’m only making this a 5 star so people may see it but we were told the devs would work on the matchmaking and i will say from when i first played which was maybe 3 or 2 years ago it’s better but i’m still concerned on how matchmaking seems to focus more on how large or low you trophy count is this works with people who have barely any trophies on a character that is a LOW LEVEL, i was just playing as a level 5 ollie with roughly 500 trophies and there was a level 12 raccoon whatever his name is. This is really bad because by level 12 you can have primal instinct which for most character is ether an ok upgrade or an good upgrade. I’m not sure why they haven’t fully changed the way the matchmaking works but it needs to happen. The other problem is the trophy earning, it is WAY better than it was i won’t 10th and lose any BUT the only way you can gain a large amount of trophies in one game is by winning get 2nd in a team mode will get you like 10 trophies if you did good, while the team that won will get 20-50 depending on how far you are into the game. They have definitely made these two big problems a bit more manageable but they could be better definitely the two things the Devs need to work on the most. oh and my actual rating would be like a 2.5 out of 5
Disappointed
Mon Jul 03 2023 ArnnyOMI was one of the original players when this game first started and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the unique art style and the creative ways that you guys made your characters. But I actually ended up getting tired of the game because it just wasn’t exciting anymore, the fact that I went a full 4 months without getting a single new character was very frustrating. I eventually became more busy with school and other more exciting interest so I didn’t have as much time to play. But I would always watch the videos on new characters that released because they were the coolest part of the game. I came back to Zooba recently because of my sibling and they were telling how much it changed. To my dismay the prices for any character quite literally multiplied 10x. And now that I look back on my past experiences this game has been and is currently extremely predatory. It’s kinda sad how y’all are not even trying to discretely hide the fact that YOU WANT OUR MONEY! I don’t know if your company is struggling to make money but I can definitely guarantee that the decisions are honestly repulsive. I really want to love this game but this has to be one of the the most pay to win games I’ve ever seen. You quit literally get whatever you want as long as you have money or CRAZY LUCK!
Game is broken in many pieces..
Fri Mar 13 2020 dylpeenI 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)
Big issue!!!
Sun Mar 26 2023 lihas16The game is fun and all, everything about the concept of the game is really good but I would highly recommend managing the level system. I believe that if you’re like level 10 for example you should be facing players around the same level as other players. It’s really not fair facing lvl 20 players when your a level 10. It feels like there’s no point in playing if there are characters that can obviously kill you over and over again after each match, makes it harder to win more games too, also if you’re facing higher level players it just comes down to how powerful your character is and not how skilful you are at the game.
Another issue I found about playing this game is that it’s harder to level up your character because of the difficulty of getting coins. It’s more like how much money you can spend which feels very unfair to the players who can’t afford the money to buy coins or boxes. Makes it harder to gather points for upgrading your weapon stats.
The biggest unfairness about the game is how the tool boxes and characters boxes work. No matter how many times you open a toolbox or a character boxes the percent of getting a new character feel like it’s 1-5% chance if actually getting a new character. It just feels disappointing waiting hours for the box to open just to get a character you already have.
Good until update
Fri Jul 30 2021 -Some fanI loved and love playing Zooba 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
- Again Some Fan
My point of view playing
Mon Sep 09 2024 alony2To begin with, this game focuses with money and basically the chances of getting a new character in a crate is like 0 but the game is addicting but still there’s no teamwork and zooba should fix the same league because if there’s a level 8 and a level 16 it will be unfair becuase one is more powerful then the other, and secondly once you play for some time you start to get tired of the same characters (my opinion) but zooba should at least do daily gifts when a they because I bored of this game and the characters I have I spend my gems on one emerald crate and basically I knew I would try to get a new character no I just got exp I don’t need it but the chances are literally 0 they say some number and most of the time it is fake(my opinion)and you’ll never get a new character sure when you play the app for the first time or make an account you will have chances of getting a new character but further when you play the game you have to purchase more characters if you get tired of them but you like playing the game, the game is addictive I agree with many people but, one thing zooba should add back is same league as you I like the game but if you like to get frustrated or get mad sometimes it’s on you if you downloaded the app no offense to the app, me here thinking I would only write a few sentences but it’s like I wrote a whole paragraph hopefully zooba read this.
