Zombicide Companion

About this game

THIS IS A COMPANION APP, TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ZOMBICIDE BOARDGAME BY GUILLOTINE GAMES.

Zombicide is a collaborative game for 1 to 6 players, for 13 years old and up. A game lasts from 20min (beginner board) to 3 hours (expert board).

Each player controls from one to four "survivors", human beings in a zombie-infested town. In fact, "survivors" hastily change to "hunters" to smash zombies through and through. However, the team must constantly keep the balance between survival and slaughter: as the zombicide's going on, the "Danger level" is going up and the infected are growing in numbers. Any misstep can turn to disaster.
Zombicide is a fun and easy game with cool minis in an archetypical, popular and comics-inspired environment. Ambiance is constantly kept between "beat'em up" and "survival horror" as characters keep on turning from prey to predators. Humor and gloom happily marry in a zombie-fest.

The Zombicide Companion App serves as a digital replacement for the Survival Identity Cards used in the boardgame to keep track of each character’s equipment inventory, experience and skills. But the app goes beyond that, offering players some cool extra aids as well.

– Features –
• A virtual deck of equipment cards allows you to easily control you survivors inventory, switching cards around with a flick of the wrist and no fear of cards slipping around.

• Keeping track of your survivor’s experience has never been easier. Add XP by ticking off what zombies you killed and your Danger Bar is automatically updated.

• As you gain experience and new Danger Levels, your new Skill options are automatically displayed, and the app incorporates any pertinent new game effects.

• Having a hard time keeping track of your actions as you gain new free ones? With the Action Bar, you can tick off each specific action as you take it, so you always know what actions you have left.

• Roll virtual dice for any of your equipped weapons, automatically calculating successful hits according to any combat skills you may have (and with sound effects to boot!)

• Choose any of the Survivor characters, including the promos. Up to 6 Survivors can be managed on the same device.

Ratings and reviews

A very solid app and one I appreciate. I used this for years on an ipad we passed around the table during games. It was much more convenient than the cardboard cards. I hope we will see a new version of this to support the 2nd edition. However, the inclusion of plastic dashboards is a much better system than the old cards and clips. Of course, I like to use the black plague app and that game launched with plastic dashboards. Recommend the app if you want to play zombicide with kids especially.

You can't select the language, you have to pay for every (batch) of extensions when the games are expensive enough. Not clear how the decks work. Some obvious rules could be applied (death/zombivor when 2 hits) No card selection for custom games. More complaints to come can't remember them all. App keeps resetting in small mode on Samsung. No support for experience mode. Can't support multiple games.

I love this app. Yes you have to pay for each expansion, but it's well worth the time saved shuffling, organizing, and cleanup of you are like me and don't put everything in one box. Only reason for not getting 5 stars is sometimes there are connectivity issues, items lock up for a few seconds when searching (both on Android and iOS), and no way to add abilities in ultra red if you level past the ones already on the card. Custom characters would be an amazing feature also.
