Some people just like SAS instead. For me, popping bloons is boring, but I love shooting zombies and customizing my gear and getting a good build to level 100.

unfortunately it seems all the SAS games are like that and generally get neglected after x amount of time.

I learned the hard way that you should NEVER play "free" games on Steam. The purchases in this type of game are made in-app, and the money goes directly to the developer. The money never goes through Steam as a company. So if there is a problem, Steam will not do anything to help you. You can never get your money back and nothing will be done to make sure other people don't have the same issue. Steam purchase = safe. In-app purchase = not safe.

Ninja Kiwi, the developer of SAS 4 is a devious, profiteering deceitful company that is only out to trick you into making useless in-app purchases. I'm talking about $40 USD for some game money, advertised as "War Powers Funds". It's not even enough money to level up ONE decent gun ([black] gun). If you buy 10 loot boxes (also expensive), you are lucky to get 2 items that you didn't already have. One premium gun costs $40, almost the price of an entire AAA game! Games that typically have hundreds of playable weapons (CSGO).

You may be thinking, "haha I never pay money in free games". Good luck with that in this game. If you try to play with leveled-up players, who have purchased stuff, you will:
a. Die in one hit
b. Have to shoot a standard enemy 500 times too kill it
c. Have to shoot a boss enemy 60,000 times (literally) to kill it
d. Walk so slowly you don't even see what the other players are doing
e. Have to wait 5 minutes to respawn in multiplayer games. It is so bad the game will actually ask you, "Do you want to spectate or just quit?"
f. Never be able to win a multiplayer event e.g. Last Man Standing

I emailed Ninja Kiwi through their website with these, and many other issues with the game. They blew me off. They did nothing to help me personally, or to fix the problems.

Here is the typical player experience for SAS 4 (assuming you don't make purchases):

Learn how the game works -> Learn how the multiplayer works -> Learn how to level up -> Reach level 10 -> Beat all 7 maps -> Grind 50 hours to level up to 15 -> Get access to live online events -> Die instantly -> Grind and farm for another 100 hours to get level 35 -> Get access to nightmare mode -> Wait 20 minutes to start a game because the other players keep quitting the matchmaking screen -> Die instantly -> Grind another 50 hours to get level 50 (surely if I put enough time in, I'll make some progress!) -> Die instantly because you are matched up wth level 100 players -> Face the ultimatum (the developer's plan all along) of giving up the game entirely or making a purchase -> fight tooth and nail to beat a nightmare mission for 30 minutes, only to have your game freeze and shut down seconds away from finishing because the other players got bored and rage quit -> get♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥off because you wasted so many hours playing the game and were never able to play the way you wanted to play from the beginning... never able to get any elite augment cores, or black items, or get enough perk points (e.g. energy regen) to make a difference -> spend hours preparing a detailed list of 14 major problems with the game -> email the list to Ninja Kiwi support -> get blown off completely -> write a long, articulate negative review on Steam -> hope other gamers avoid the game, so that some good will come out of your countless hours of anger and frustration.

Short Version: SAS Zombie Assault 4 sucks.

Mindblowing,there are great games that are f2p

the Previous SASZA titles were great. SAS4 was a really big let down if you ask me. There were a few good features but theres a lot more stuff that makes SAS4 IMO the worst of the 4.

"Grind 50 hours to level up to 15" "Grind and farm for another 100 hours to get level 35" "Grind another 50 hours to get level 50". Wow. I may be a deity! Because, I was able to get to level 35 maybe after 5-8 hours instead of 150. And to level 50? More time, because I left the game to play other ones that at the moment caught my attention more. Now I'm level 55 in my principal character, lvl 12 and 6 in my other two. Not a single purchase, the game is still amazing to me.

To the principal topic: yeah pretty much. I think it has been months or even half a year since last update. I'll have to check. :steambored:
