Shadowgun DeadZone PvP Battles App Reviews

Has there been any announcement to a possible fix? Now it wont let me write a review. Ive been a faith player for some time now. Since the upgrade my pass time fun have been stricken from me. Ive deleted, reinstalled, deleted from the cloud, reset my network several time but to not avail. I cannot log-on via my Apple products. This is very disappointing Madfinger.

UPDATE 2 - 12/30/16: Ok, the rank tiers for matchmaking now groups level 21 players with level 60+?? This is worse than before! Higher level players have a distinct advantage since they have perks and weapons that are locked for lower level players. Im not afraid of a challenge but this is too far of a stretch. Coming in next to last for every DM game results in earning a severely diminished amount of experience points and it makes leveling up an unreasonably long process while making it much easier for higher ranking players to level up (albeit they need more exp. points per rank to level up). Basically, its not worth my time to keep playing a game when it would take years before I would be at the point where I could realistically compete with others in the server. Lowering rating to 1 star since this issue essentially renders the game useless to me. UPDATE 12/25/16: It seems that Madfinger also felt the same way I did about how the game could be improved since the most recent update happened to address almost all of my concerns. Therefore, Im raising my rating from 3/5 stars to 5/5 stars, I think it is deserved. One new issue is it seems the layout no longer properly fits iPhone 6/7 screens (I dont know about "plus" screen sizes), the menu screens seem to be slightly too large to fit the screen and doesnt resize properly. But it doesnt seem to effect game play and I bet the devs will address this after the holidays. - The game play is smoother now. - New death match maps added although I still havent seen them yet. - Hit registration does seem to be improved. - Better matchmaking!! It seems the match making by Rank tier structure has been narrowed down - no more DM games that have Rank 15 players facing Rank 30 players. Old Review: This game has a lot going for it but suffers in some major ways. First, the good: - very good graphics considering the fast paced multiplayer action on a mobile device. Could they be better? Sure, but it would consume more resources without making the game any more enjoyable. Personally, I like that the graphics remind me of older FPS like Quake and Unreal (it does use the Unreal engine) - the gameplay is simple: kill, kill, kill! - it is Free to Play and pay to win really wont help you here. You can buy gold which allows you to buy better guns but if you lack skill then you will still get slaughtered. You can buy into the Premium Version which doubles your earned XP and cash but that still wont make up for the fact that earning XP and cash faster doesnt equate to gaining skill any faster. - Always people playing, never takes me long to get assigned to a server. Servers always seem to have plenty of people. - The Deathmatch maps are large and detailed. Rarely is it an issue where you span too close to another player. The Bad: - match making groups by player rank; 1-15, 16-30, after that I cant say for sure since I am level 17. Playing Rank 1-15 seemed to be OK even when you are an inexperienced low ranking player, matches end up pretty even. But matching people ranked 16 with rank 30 seems to be too big of a gap. Maybe there isnt enough people to have the rank range decreased to 10 levels instead of 15 but it takes a lot more experience points and time to get to rank 30 from 16 than it does to get to rank 15 from 1, so the skill level divide is so much greater that it diminishes the fun. - The game offers match making by geolocation which is really nice but it seems to ignore people with poor connections. Someone could be next door and if they have a slow connection then they might as well be on the other side of the world. You shoot them and they lag all over the place. It is really annoying and it ruins the dynamic of the match really quickly. I would say at least 1-2 people per match have severe lag issues. I understand with only so many players it would be tough for the devs to find a solution that addresses the lag issue without sacrificing something else that would upset other players. - I dont think the devs are adding anything more to the game. When I started playing this game like 2 years ago there were 4 Deathmatch maps. There are still only 4 Deathmatch maps. Side Note: - You will see reviews of people complaining about cheaters. I dont know if I have ever actually seen a cheater in game, I have seen level 1 players somehow miraculously win a match over much higher level players but they could just be experienced players with a new, separate account. I did that, myself. Also, people could be mistaking lag for cheating since it seems like the other players "teleport" out of the way when being shot. There might be a cheat they are using to do that but I think it is simply a lag issue, although that really doesnt make it much better for the non-laggy players. Conclusion: The positives of this game make it stand out from any other mobile platform game. It is unique in its simplicity and action. But the few negatives bring the game down in a major way since they severely effect gameplay in general and arent simply subjective, opinion based issues like not liking the gun options or the fact that the graphics dont look like the latest console COD game. It seems there are enough players where the devs could make a few back end changes to really help these issues. I would be happy to pay $10 for this game if they did.

Same issue as everyone else on the iphone/ipad, i cant play on my wifi because it cant find a server but it will let me if im not on wifi but then the game is so laggy in my house. I hope you guys fix asap.

Game is absolutely perfect

amazing game just needs tdm and it would be perfect

On my IPhone 6s it says not connected to matchmaking server, someone I know with Samsung connects with no problem, please help.

This use to be my favorite shooting game but now I cant start a match or anything all I can do is look at my equipment and the people really need to change this

ONLY giving this rating 3 stars simply because this is undisputedly the BEST mobile shooter of all time. I literally mean of all time. However, the recent update has shattered my love for this game. I feel bad because I never rated it 5 stars when I was playing. Therefore my opinion may not count, but this cant play over wifi stuff is absurd. I mean thats what made it great was you could play on your phone and you dont have to use data! The rest of the update, amazing. If its a mistake it should have been fixed ASAP. If this game was profitable as I believe it was Im not too sure why an investment hasnt been made to eliminate that con. I love this game and I dont want to give it up. Please fix this I know you are reading so please please fix this. I PROMISE I will come back and rate 5 stars and write an entire 500 word post as to why its the best mobile shooter. Ive already given you plenty of money, so my word is all that I have left.

All the sudden the game cannot connect to its servers. Id love to try the new and improved gameplay, but now I cant. Please fix this! I wont wait for very long!

You cant play a match since new update!! Dont be disappointed and dont wast your money! You wont be able to play! Everyone els, I know this use to be a great game but stop giving this a more than 1 star review!! They dont care that we cant play and apple dont care either! If anyone can get ahold of them! Let them know!!

If you like PC first person shooters this is the closest thing

Every time I try to play it says I am not connected to server. Need to fix this issue right away and I will give more stars

Too bad I cant get past the login screen. Its a dud, dont waste your time.

Im gonna assume you guys who work on the game dont actually TEST the update out before releasing it because this last update literally makes it so the game doesnt work through a wifi connection. And no it isnt my cinnection I have an EXCELLENT connection speed so dont come at me with that, its your guys team that broke the game last update to the point where iOS users literally cant even join the server unless using a 4g signal. And Im an iPad player just like many others so ya know what that means? Looks like I cant play this game at all, havent been able to for two weeks! So me and a bunch of others have decided to just switch to Afterpulse and respawnables since you guys clearly dont care about the community.... have a good day!

I would rate this 5 star but the update made it so that I cant even play. It says match making server is not connected.

Love this game

I used to love this game and would have given 5 stars, but the new update wont allow you to play over wifi... I used to play on my iPad and it was great, now if I want to play, its on my iPhone over my data plan that makes the action sluggish... despite multiple requests for an answer why they did such a dumb update, all I got back was silence. So it used to be a good game, but the updates killed it.

Fun game, been playing for years. I guess the developers died. I have sent well over ten emails complaining about this current problem, yet not one response. If they were to read any of the current reviews I think they would realize that people are very displeased. I suggest everyone that gets the " cannot connect to server" error send emails to madfinger until they do something.

So first time I ever downloaded this game, it was VERY fun but not it isnt..... Heres why: 1. Hacking Bug: Meaning that it says youre hacking *but I dont hack* and you commit suicide 2. Running glitch Thats the only problems I found in this game, Great job MadFinger you just ruined a wonderful gmae

Some hackers are in the game.
