Z The Game App Reviews

Guys you need to market your product more, get it out there let people know its out. Z was the first RTS I ever played and once I found out (by chance might I add) that it was out the iPad I purchased it without hesitation. This is hands down the best RTS available on the iPad in my honest opinion, anyone who has second thoughts as to whether this game is not like the original should not worry one bit! If I could give you guys more than 5 starts I would!

This was a all time classic, its on the iPad and lost nothing still a classic with a modern day update ... Fantastic

Wow it finally happened, we waited so long! Thank you for porting it! Great updates!!

Z is one of my all-time favorite strategy games. I still play it on my PC using DOSBox, but this rendition of the game is poorly executed at best. Controls are unresponsive, units fail to carry out orders and simply "stop" on their way to their destination, combat damage randomization is skewed heavily on the side of the computer, and the minimap tool is terribly implemented. Even worse, the ability to select units can become "stuck" if you try to select a building with a mobile unit already selected. Rather than transfering selection to the building, you get a little, red waggling finger no matter where you click, forcing a reload most of the time. The fact is, none of these issues exist in the PC version. I think many of the positive reviews hear are lost in nostalgia for the most part. I was excited to find this, but Im very disappointed in the release. Hopefully, the developers can iron out these issues and make this the game its always been.

This app has serious issues, constantly crashes on my ipad2 ... I would recommend that you do not waste your time or money until its fixed ... Its a shame as the original was fun

i love a good challenge but this is just too hard i love the game but just too hard

Z is a classic DOS real-time strategy game that focuses on territorial expansion instead of resource management. Its fast-paced and intense, and the CPU doesnt show much mercy. You start each battle with a group of robot soldiers and a base. Your goal is to get your robots across the map and capture your opponents base. Along the way, you must capture territory flags and make use of the facilities on those territories. The factories you capture will constantly churn out new robots and vehicles, and manufacturing time is reduced with each territory under your control. The game has a wide variety of units, and learning their strengths and weaknesses is necessary for success. Sending a pair of snipers up against a tank might not sound wise, but in Z its a surprisingly effective strategy. Z is fast fun, and most battles dont last more than ten minutes. The only trouble with the iOS version is that its crippled by poor visibility on the iPhone. The viewpoint is zoomed in very close, like the VGA graphics mode in the original DOS version, and it makes battlefield awareness difficult. You have to scroll a lot to keep an eye on everything. The iPad version offers the fully detailed, high-res look of the SVGA mode, and its much easier to play. This is the complete Z package, with cutscenes, situational music, and all the details from the original, so its worth getting if you loved the original. Newcomers should probably only jump in if they have an iPad.

Its no PS3 game or Xbox but its cute and passes some time.

Loved this game in the 90s. Love it now. Please make some new levels. Or let me play as the blue guys - or better yet, make it a two player game. Or Even better make a huge environment and add green and yellow guys- up to four players. This game is just too awesome!!!

Thanks for bringing back a classic game. A suggestion for new updates would be for skrimish or multiplayer gameplay maybe new maps for multiplayer, I mean the tech is there to make this game even better than the 90s version so keep up the good work.

This was the very first game I ever bought in the 90s. Just as amazing now as it was then, however I remember it being harder when I was 12. I REALLY hope they add some more levels. Worth every penny!

This is a really accurate game play. Interesting that it didnt get any better than it was in the 80s. Its still really fun to play but everything feels a bit dated for the price. But its well worth it to relive the game. VERY fun still.

Who can imagine, dos style one mouse button control is perfect for touch screen device! Epic game, just like back in a dayz

Crashes every time I open the game on my iPad, so complete waste of money.

Constantly crashes on launch.

But it crashes on startup, ive never been beyond the "loading game center" screen...

Great game, but keeps crashing at startup on the new iPad...

Never thought id be playing my favorite childhood game on an ipad! There are a few things id like to point out though, Toughs and Pyros are not able to shoot buildings or enter APCs, this is rather dissappointing as I remember it adds more fun and strategy to use all your units to their fullest. Still though classic game and worth it!

One of the first rts games I played on the pc, and probably to date one of the best. And now its here. Really great game I highly recommend it!

This game was great back in the day and is a great game for the ipad.
