Pros and cons of Tactical Soldier - Undead Rising app for iPhone and iPad

Tactical Soldier - Undead Rising app good for

love this game....both campaigns already played.....give us more!!!! :)
I am not a huge zombie fan, however, I am a massive turn based strategy game fan. This game is really fun, dosent get boring like hunters ep 1(so far) and I am very much recommending this game as a must buy for any fan of the genre. Well done, and worth the price. Btw- hunters isnt bad, just needs more content)
A very good strategy game. Solid gameplay. Odd that you have to divide your skill points between all characters. My only complaint is that in the character screen, all the soldiers look like very old men.
This game is absolutely awesome! It brings forward the style and game play of classic tactical turn-based games like X-Com while updating the genre with amazing graphics and playability. It offers such features as Opportunity Fire and Squad-Based play. This genre was long-overdue and Tactical Soldier raises the bar significantly for all other games in the future. Bravo!!
High quality game for the price! My only issue is that this game is not the 7+ hours its advertised as being - took me a little over 5 hours to complete without skipping the cut scenes. Hopefully the developers are reasonable when they price their add-on campaigns. Regardless, the quality and fun factor of this game more than makes up for this. This is a must have for any turn-based-strategy fans, and is a great game for those new to the genre. If I could compare it to any hit game out there, Id say it closely resembles Metal Gear Ac!d - which was one of many of Kojimas masterpieces. Thumbs up to the developers for pulling this genre off on the iPhone, and heres to hoping the new campaigns are released soon!
The game is great, I would love the ability to carry a back up weapon but other than that, I love this game, unfortunately after the forth or fifth stage I now cannot continue, just black screen with sound only so please fix. Brand new 4th gen 8gb iPod. Thank you.

Some bad moments

Since I downloaded the update, I cant resume my game. All i get is a black screen and music. This is a five star game that is one star now that its unplayable. Fix it !
Very simple, campaign isnt very long and it is fairly easy. This is nothing compared to the depth of XCOM Enemy Unknown - buy that instead!
Not bad, but too simplistic and battles take forever, I mean, zombies are so damn slow...
The game looked very fun but the game just doesnt work on iOS 8 at all! Tried with multiple devices but its always the same thing, the screen goes black as soon as I try to start a mission.. :(
I used to enjoy this game. Although it wasnt terribly deep in terms of story or character, it was rather challenging. Unfortunately the developers abandoned the game and it no longer works. DO NOT BUY.
Lots of good reviews, but just wont even start. Black screen.
