      Z the game is still alot of fun, very basic and relatively simple controls. An excellent strategy game where u can blow some time when your bored/waiting. Im giving it 4 star purely because of its 372mb size, properly optimized it would be 50mb ish. Also its very zoomed in, making units hard to keep track of and alot of scrolling(my phones a CATS50).

      Awesome - but room for some minor improvement I was a die hard z fan on pc and while I love this mobile version and definitely recommend it to anyone I have noticed some areas for improvement. First and foremost, some multi-player would be unreal. Secondly, there's at least one cut scene not included since we always see the same one after mission failure. Thirdly, the AI seems to be slightly dumber than what I remember on pc. Not a problem except that the computer player can't re-route their units once meeting a broken bridge.

      Good work!! OMG I have the cd-rom of this played it all the time... never have beat the damn game lol. You made this so much easier.... it's hard as hell to get games like this to play on new machines..
      Andrew Gardner
      Awesome game average AI I love the game, as a long time fan and owner of the original copy i am glad to see such a well done coppy of this game. It is a little easier then the original maby due to the mobile phone limits wich takes away the hard difficulty levels of the game. Allso the path finding may need a little tweek. Other then that the over all game play is awesome and it is really awesome to see the videos agane, have not seen them in over a decade. The developers of this mobile friendly app should be proud of this app.

      Blast from the past I've been trying to get my old copy to work on my computer. Then I found out it was in the app store! Im happier than I pig in mud right now. Thanks for providing me with a dose of nostalgia.

      Classic requiring some polishing Still a great and unique game! I know the original very well and there is room for improvement for better mobile experience. (1) The player should be able to pause the game to give units orders. It is quite difficult to guickly navigate the map, group units and send them off to their target on a mobile phone. (2) Zoom adjustment or at least have the standard view zoomed out a small bit. (3) The AI gets stuck on obstacles more than I remember from PC.

      The game looks and sounds just the way I remember it from the original. Have it 4 stars because the game is still jerky and not especially smooth so it looks like it was not optimised for Android. Also, as mentioned by others, the screen is zoomed in too much meaning it's difficult to scroll around and also to select units.

      Is Kavcom still maintaining this game? Because while this is a fine porting job overall, I swear unit AI is dumber than in the original versions on PC, it needs some polishing in order to be a perfect game. That, and multiplayer capabilities.
