The Walking Dead: Aftermath plunges players deep into the brutal, unyielding world of the comic series. As the leader of an isolated compound, you must scavenge for food, water, and building supplies while safeguarding your people from relentless walker herds and hostile human scavengers. Recruit iconic characters like Rick, Michonne, and Daryl, each possessing unique tactical skills. The game blends deep base-building management with turn-based grid tactical combat, forcing you to make harrowing moral decisions where a single choice can result in the permanent death of a beloved squad member.

Our Expert Score

85/100

The Walking Dead: Aftermath successfully captures the grim, high-stakes tension that makes the franchise so compelling. The artistic presentation adopts a dark, comic-book ink style that looks fantastic on mobile screens. The turn-based tactical combat feels smart and deliberate, especially the noise system: firing a rifle might wipe out a human sniper, but the sound will pull three new walkers from the fog-of-war boundaries, completely changing the tactical dynamic of the battle map.

The base management side is solid, though it does run into standard mobile wait-timer tropes that can slow down the narrative momentum. Thankfuly, the emotional weight of the storytelling and the constant threat of losing your best scavengers keeps you invested. It is a grim, challenging strategy game that values brains over brawn and respects the tone of its source material perfectly.

One of the Best Modern Mobile Games!
Mon Sep 21 2026 ELB! Is WILD

I genuinely never write reviews for games, but I enjoy this one so much! The power scaling is very fun to do especially at first, and the gameplay is engaging. The upgrade system can make the same level feel completely different depending on luck of the draw (which is a refreshing feature). There’s not really a pay-to-win aspect aside from unlocking all characters that are released (but you can do just fine without them). Each update seems to be improving the game instead of breaking it as many developers of similar projects seem to do. Compared to every other TWD game this is certainly number one on the mobile side. Only better experience you can get is Telltale and that’s not even a fair comparison. So overall I’m loving this game, and I look forward to seeing it expanded upon as a nearly day one player!

Was a good game
Mon Aug 17 2026 GRRMTHRFKR

The thing that sucked the most was the constant ads, but that I was OK with because I really liked the game. And then they just started updating it. Some things were good but it’s one of the things was how you combine the equipment. So it’s already hard enough to get the equipment so it was kind of nice that you’re able to combine whatever and get it going and they just made an Update to make it where you know you need the same pieces of equipment to combined with higher level Gear, which is incredibly difficult to get and takes Forever. I just got one piece the other day by combining two different pieces and I finally got the piece of equipment. I needed to do it for my helmet and now they done it this way, which is gonna take me forever to get there another piece of the same Gear. So I’m quitting the game and I’m just not gonna put my energy in it because it’s already hard enough to get it. They have a game going on where you have to pay rubies to do pulls. And it stopped on the higher reward and a few seconds goes by where nothing happens then it ticks over and stops on a lesser reward. Which I had plenty of the ones with different lesser rewards and it never did that. It was a pretty decent game overall, but it really drives a paid to win type of thing behind it just like any of the other games I guess but this one’s kind of making you want to do that so I appreciate being able to enjoy the game for as long as I did which was not really that long.

Continuous crashes that steals your energy/ not enough energy to actually enjoy the game
Fri Jul 24 2026 ẞLEACH

Since I downloaded this a few days ago I’ve been pretty satisfied with the gameplay, similar to a lot of other mobile games but the best part is you get to be your favorite characters from the walking dead. With that being said there are too many issues to actually enjoy the game to its fullest extent. The game continuously crashes. I’ll be in the middle of the loading screen for a mission or finally enter a mission and the game will crash. Upon reopening the app the energy that I used on that same mission is lost and does not return even though I didn’t lose the mission, the stupid game just crashed. You guys need to either have it to where you can continue missions where you left off or return the energy used on the mission. Another issue is the amount of energy you get a day. There is not enough energy a day to keep you wanting to play the game, you play 6 matches with the initial 30 energy you get then you can get another 15 for watching adds but that still isn’t enough. Games that stop players from playing the game because of energy or stamina usually dies because the player gets tired of waiting and puts their attention elsewhere, a way to fix this issue to is either add infinite adds that players can watch to continuously replenish energy or add a system where you can upgrade how much base energy you have so that the capacity isn’t 30. If you fix these, this game will go a long way, too many mobile games such as this get shut down because of greed and no replay-ability

I’ve been playing the game pretty much since the day came out and I enjoyed it. The game itself has been pretty fun, but they just did the first major update and for whatever reason they decided to scale back players characters I have invested quite a bit of time, energy and money into my players and with a new update they decided to basically cut my players power level in half through no apparent reason maybe just because they wanted to make the game more challenging I don’t know, but now because they decided to cut everybody’s characters to half the power rating that they used to be all of the levels that I have completed. I can’t compete on anymore because my characters are no longer strong enough and I invested time and money to be able to do that if they wanted to make the game more challenging, they should have made the levels harder Or added new levels that were harder instead of taking away things that we paid for and worked for. it’s very scary to know that at any point they could do this again to nullify all my hard work and effort and money. I kind of just want all my money back I have invested and to never play the game again. Knowing that just because of their bad planning, maybe they didn’t expect people to advance so far in the game will be erased and voided without any compensation or notice instead of them making stronger better levels in the future

No progression
Sat Aug 15 2026 Czernobog_

Your game is quickly becoming dull. I’m getting no progression. You make everything so hard to acquire as far as getting a new characters. I pay for your monthly membership. It seems to give me nothing as far as progressing, even re-rolling skills all I get for defend the gates are dodge chance, health and mines. Which do nothing for defend the gates. I go from 900 points to 200 point. Which the rewards for defend the gate are so minimal anyways. Your game is so stagnant at this point. Also, what’s the point on not letting me get more characters? You make it so freaking difficult to acquire new characters. I spent $50 to get the featured character after 35 tries was turned out to only have a 25% chance. I got a refund, but even Apple claimed that this was not very integral on your part. Let us acquire. We still have to upgrade them. This game seems more like a money grab than you wanting to make a fun game. Even playing rounds I have to spend 5+ minutes on a round that I’ve already beat, I should just be able to quit beat it using my energy. Especially since I’m paying $10 a month for your membership. I’ve been stuck in the same spot in your game for two weeks. You’ve come out with new characters yet I haven’t acquired any new characters after the first week. I’ve played many of the Walking Dead games and yours is by far the worst!!!

Just another
Tue Jul 21 2026 Gaspatchosoup

Free 2 Play garbage game. At first this game was awesome. It was entertaining and didn't seem greedy or garbage in the beginning. Then it all changed and very quickly. I liked it enough the first day to watch more than a few ads to get stuff. The second day I watched every ad I could. Then I did stage 10. Stage 10 has a power rating of 750 and I was at 791. So far in the game when they would introduce new things or enemies it was like 1 a stage. But stage 10 you get archers who you cannot see their aim, shotgun enemies with a wide spread and as you do way less damage and kill stuff much slower you get hordes of Zombie. You also all of a sudden take massive amounts of damage and do very little damage. It's like stage 10 is Mount Everest and stage 1 through 9 is an ant hill in your backyard. If I do continue to play the game and I doubt it I will never watch another ad. I understand you are in the business to make money but you need to chill out and not make it so obvious. When you do you will get people like me that went from giving you some money by watching ads to absolutely nothing. Energy recharges at 20 minutes a single energy. It's insane. I would have bought the ad free item but it's only for 30 days. There is no way I would spend $10 bucks a month on a free 2 play game and especially not one this bad and greedy.

Buggy, Non-responsive Ad farm
Mon Aug 31 2026 >>-Black--Arrow->

Most time spent with this app open is watching adds. I was excited about and really wanted to enjoy this game, got into an active group and was doing the grind to level my roster of characters, but you quickly hit a wall that either requires money on constant repetitive grinding. Having encountered this in game before and being a fan of TWD, I tried to lock in for the grind and commit to see what the game had in store, deciding ultimately to hold out for my favorite character, Daryl. They finally added him in a limited event that requires a certain level of participation for chances at acquiring him and you can spend the game’s gem currency for extra chances. After saving up and waiting for the eventuality of this character, I participated and spent the majority of my gems on opportunities to acquire him and did not, but not only did not receive the character but my progress bar for earning the special side currency used in the event shop wasn’t working and letting claim my rewards, and when I changed tabs in the game my progress REVERTED to before when I spent any gems and my gems were still missing. I immediately messaged in-game support about this issue, but was ignored and the event ended with no response. Ultimately felt like a huge let down and waste of time, especially after all the adds.

95% ads and micro transactions
Wed Jul 22 2026 King Sidd

I don’t know how this game has such a high rating when the game is literally ALL ads and micro transactions. Every ad is at least 120 seconds if you want minimal power-ups that make the game barely playable. Each ad has multiple (X) buttons in various parts of the screen, so when you think you’re closing the ad, nope, just takes you to another stage of the same ad. Some of the micro transactions come in the form of pop-ups that also have a delayed ability to close. They shove purchases in your face before you even finish the tutorial and it looks like there’s only like 4-5 characters available from the actual show, and they’re locked behind a paywall. It’s absurd and it’s sad that an official game like this would be so brazen. If I spend more time in ads than playing the actual game, the game isn’t worth it. On top of that, for some reason if you’re not interacting with the screen for more than 10 seconds, the screen goes to sleep, so you can’t even let the ads play while you do something else. You’re forced to watch them. Don’t waste your time.
