Zombie Frontier 3 (An Action FPS Game in Android Playstore)
Hello Readers! Thank you for visiting my blog. 2 days back, I was looking for a game to play and as I was browsing through the top new free section for game apps, I noticed the Zombie Frontier 3. I thought to myself, “Everybody are crazy over zombie apocalypse right now”. Well of course they are!
With TV series like Walking Dead, not only teenage boys find themselves a game similar to the show but adults too!
With movies like Warm Bodies, a movie that depicts a zombie’s life from a zombie’s perspective, I’m not surprised if I happen to see a girl killing zombies in their phone.
Zombie Frontier 3 is developed by FT Games. I have been playing the game for 2 days now and I can see myself playing it for quite some time! So here’s a review of the app!
I will review this game based on 4 criteria: User Interface, Gameplay, Weapons and In-App purchases. Lastly I will also discuss the cons of this game. So, let’s start with the UI first!
1) User-Interface
Like most game apps, as you load up the game, you will be greeted by a daily reward event that gives you gold and weapons if you are actively logging in. Although this application might look hard to navigate through for some due to it having quite a number of buttons and activities going on the screen, the app tackles this well by providing a short tutorial if you are loading it for the first time. (Example, the tutorial shows clearly where the shop button is and how to upgrade your weapons.)
2) Gameplay
Zombie Frontier 3 is an energy based game and you are required to have a specific amount of energy in order to play the missions. For a regular mission, 1 energy is required while a boss mission requires 2. The energy will refill by 1 every 10 min. There are quite a number of ways for you to refill your energy bar such as by watching a video ad or levelling up.
The gameplay in this game is straightforward. Basically there will be 5 buttons (1 joystick) when you start the mission.
The joystick (will appear once your phone sensor detects your finger) allows you to move the aiming cursor in an 8-way direction and next to it will be a button that allows you to swap between your weapons.
The right side of the screen will have the standard shoot button follow by the target and reload button.
The target button allows you to zoom in to get a good shot of the zombie and aim for a headshot.
The shoot button allows you to continuously fire at the target if you press and hold it.
The good thing about this game is that it does not requires you to move around as the mission automatically walks you to the next point.
3) Weapons
This game certainly does not lose out in the variety of weapons they have! Ranging from pistols to sniper rifles, it can all be bought from the weapon shop at a price depending on the weapon strength.
Like most shooting games, this game offers the upgrade function for the weapons that are purchased. One of the things that make this game stand out from most games is that it offers 6 different types of upgrades. The stock, muzzle, bullet, body, scope and clip. This makes it more realistic as these attributes contribute to the effectiveness of a real life weapon.
4) In-App purchases
Most games surely have an In-App purchase available for the user. Developers have to earn money for their hard work too right? One of the features available in the In-App purchase would be the weapon shop. User will have the choice to purchase those strong weapons using gems which are bought through real money.
Well, for those that do not wish to use real money for a game, do not worry as there are more than 1 ways to earn free gems. You still have the opportunity to own these weapons via viewing a video or completing an offer. (You can gain gems through levelling and rewards too)
When you view a video you can earn a gem.
You can also complete an offer to gain gems. Completing an offer gains you more gems!
5) The cons
I think most users will feel the same way as I do. Viewing of video ads gives too little gems! For a video that is at least 15 seconds, 1 gem is definitely not enough. The best pistol cost 840 gems and for users that do not wish to use real money, it will require them to watch 840 videos in order to purchase the weapon. Not everyone has the time to view the video ads and this does not take into account of battery usage.
Another thing I find the Developer will need to improve is the energy bar. Having 8 bars are definitely not enough as 1 mission requires 1 energy. Although you can gain 1 energy from watching a video ad, not everyone wants to watch 1 each time to continue playing.
Conclusion
Zombie Frontier 3 is a fun shooting game to have for those that love horror and are looking forward to kill zombies. The graphics and suspense is also quite impressive. “Wah! What a game!” I give this game a 4.5 star (Would have given 5 if the developer improve the problems I discussed in the cons section) and I recommend this game for people that prefers straightforward shoot and kill games instead of the complicated ones. I can see myself playing it for a long time. Thank you FT Games for developing this app
