controls take a bit to get used to but all in all a good game. I have it on the vita and its great. Using touch instead of a controller makes it harder. Also there is a bug where the sound cuts out. hope it get an update to fix this and maybe controller support.

Edit: I see the save game issue is solved so I've updated my review, really excited about this I appreciate it. Original: I love this game and everything it's about but there's one minor technical issue. I have the Galaxy S21 Ultra and this game is quite outdated now for the version of Android I run. As a result the game is unable to keep saved games, making me have to reduce my rating from 5 to 1. If the devs are out there somewhere, please update the game for newer versions of Android!

A really good game. I enjoy the graphics and the music, and the gameplay is tightly immersive; the minigames are fun enough, and none of them ever got boring or hard. You'll spend a lot of bullets, tires, food and hours trying to survive in this post-apocalyptic America.

Although I haven't even bought the expansion yet, I'm blown away at how clean the controls are. There's whimsy, challenge, and quick fun anytime you need to burn a couple of minutes or an entire hour. My only complaint is that there seems to be a bug where sound cuts out if I receive a notification. Outside of that, AMAZING!

Coming back to this now we are very happy that this is one of the best simulation/RPG games ever. And no! Death Road To Canada may be similar to Oregon Trail and will always be superior to this but that does not make it the "Zombie Oregon Trail"! Organ Trail IS the Zombie Oregon Trail. But overall I love both equally.

It is a true homage to the original game "The Oregon Trail" (1985), and I love the retro graphics and "zombified" revision of the game with the additional sense of humour. BUT. Game got boring too fast; mini games are not appealing enough to me. Just wanted to finish it as early as possible. It is not I expected more for the couple of euros I paid, but I felt a bit disappointed by the supposedly best indie game of 2013.

At the moment the game will have one star. This is not my critique of the game, because I can't even play it. I have a very annoying bug (or at least I think it is.) At the very start of the game during the shooting tutorial, when the player runs out ammo, normally Clements will spawn on the right hand side of the screen. Unfortunately that does not happen and I die every single time. I hope someone will see this so that I can eventually play the game I paid for.

I feel bad for rating this game only three stars, but having just attempted a run on the hardest difficulty, there's a few things I noticed that I hadn't before on my multiple enjoyable runs on the lower difficulties. The biggest issue I ran into here was the rediculous rate that bad things happen. Upon starting my playthrough, one of my party members was instantly bitten, meaning that the rest of the run was extremely difficult. Along with that, I constantly had party members losing up to four fuel cans at a time. This meant that I not only lost dozens of fuel cans, but also all of the items I sold or traded in order to aquire them, which eventually killed my party in the end. I also came into an issue where party members would constantly choose to stretch their legs or stop to look at scenery, all the while being out of food and consequentially starving. I really think this game would be five stars all around if the devs made a quick final pass over it and really polished it up. In its current state I can recommend the base game, but would not recommend sinking any more money than that into it, merely because repeatedly playing on normal is boring, and playing on the hardest difficulty is unfortunately unbalanced and luck-based.

Honestly, I have been playing this game for about a year and a half and I am still not bored bc it is just a great retro time killer. I originally was looking for the "Oregon trail" bc I use play it in grade school but found this and LOVE it! I hope the development team come out with an updated version with new aspects. That being said I am still completely happy with this game. I have told everyone that likes retro strategy about this! Just saying I don't speak of things not worthy.

5 stars for sure replayability is huge choices can be hard to make. For example one of your team members may get bit and then its between killing that team member or letting him/her live and possibly turning into a zombie to attack you. car upgrades are awesome random events can be good or bad. You may find a gravestone that has loot near it or you may figure out that zombie decided to get out of the ground and attempt to eat you. There are 2 dlc packs tho. I think its worth the price.

The saves are broken, if I leave the game then come back, the games I've saved aren't there, I also have to restore purchase every time, so the game doesn't seem to save anything, pls fix. The game is fun. Edit: thanks for fixing the save problem and everything.

DON'T BUY TGE EXPANSIONS. IT DISAPPEARS. I tried contacting the developer through their email about the matter but didn't got any response. I bought the two expansions from the game, but after playing it for an hour, the expansions disappeared. I tried restoring it, but it just says, "Waiting for response from the store," and nothing happens. I will change my rating once I get a response..

Really enjoyed the game, however, I have a few gripes. I feel like it's important to hint at the fact that reaching the safe haven doesn't automatically mean you're safe. The twist is great but I was not prepared at all because my playstyle was scavenging at low horde times and avoiding fighting at all costs because of how janky the controls are. Therefore I didn't stock up on ammo. I feel the shooting controls also need some serious reevaluation. The drag and shoot may work on a PC but not on mobile. It's too difficult on such a small screen. It took me three hours of straight playing to get through my first run and successfully saving all of my party only to be hopelessly murdered at the end. That's not compelling for me to try again nor is it very fair. You need to plant a Chekhov's gun or something early on. Give me a warning that ammo will be necessary at the very end and then let me choose whether or not to heed it. Mobile combat is too janky for surprise fights like this.

Does anyone have a fix for the broken saves? I tested it to see if I had the bug early on, and lo and behold I do. It'd be a good game if it worked, but it doesn't. There's also some odd lag and minor issues with the GUI. I like to buy the same game on multiple platforms, but this save issue is ruining my enjoyment. I don't have it in good faith the steam version is going to be any better maintained. Cute concept ruined by lack of maintenance.

You couldn't ask for a better game on mobile. It has awesome retro graphics that throw back to the game that inspired it, "The Oregon Trail." The story and theme of the world are interesting and captivating, and it leaves you wanting more explaination... The mystery of the, "Why" and, "How" are perfect for this game. You get tid bits of story from passersby, which is really cool. The game play is difficult in all the right ways. It is a lot of fun. Highly highly recommended. STILL GREAT IN 2021!

AN ACTUAL GAME, not a cash grab like most mobile games. I wish there were more games like this. I would gladly pay up front for a quality game, I refuse to be a fool that gets hooked on a game and then you hit a wall where you have to pay to progress. -The omage to a classic computer game was nice. Great retro look and feel. - Difficulty levels and variety of in-game choices add replayability. - controls were solid but sometimes you'll start something (like a hunt) on accident and can't go back.

An amazing and sometimes hilarious take on a cultural classic. This game takes all the best parts of the original Oregon Trail, and adds to it with a challenging zombie twist. It's perfect for both long play sessions and minute long breaks. My only issue is a response time bug in getting one of the most obscure endings. While it might be stylistically clunky and not for everyone, it's an amazing game that's well worth giving a shot!

Fantastic game! Excellent time killer! The retro graphics combined with the survival mechanics are brilliant! The game is fun as the basic edition but with the expansion packs it has lot more to offer. The replayability is low, but I enjoy the challenge of surviving as long as possible on "Endless Mode" which is apart of the expansion.

Better with all DLC. It's the right blend of idle, strategic and skill based gameplay. You watch as random events happen during your travels. You decide when its ok to scavenge, what to buy and sell, what to trade, and you need quick reflexes to complete the various mini games. This is the only game for android that is hard for me to put down once I start playing because it can be relaxing or intense on any difficulty setting based on the risks you want to take.

Ahhh...nostalgia. Closest thing on Play Store to OG Apple II game (though sometimes I do miss those 5.25-in floppy disks and that big ol' computer with all its peripherals on the wheeled AV desk). Cool music. Good writing. Note to devs: Several achievements not unlocking (first time I've encountered this issue after having played on multiple older devices, but currently playing on Pixel 6 Pro).
