Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be initially enjoyable but quickly becomes tedious, often losing its appeal after about 20 minutes. This repetitiveness is particularly noted in modes that require players to eliminate every single enemy, such as zombies.
- “Dumb fun, gets tedious quickly.”
- “Gets tedious after like 20 minutes.”
- “This would help on some of the more tedious modes where you need to kill every single zombie.”

The gameplay is built on solid core mechanics that can engage players for hours, particularly those with a competitive streak due to the inclusion of global highscores. However, after the initial levels, the game suffers from a lack of new challenges and mechanics, leading to a sense of repetitiveness, compounded by a limited music selection. Overall, while the premise is strong, the gameplay may become monotonous for some players over time.
- “The general premise and execution are fantastic, but sadly the game does little to introduce new mechanics or challenges after beating the first few levels, resulting in a creeping feeling of repetitiveness, which isn't helped with a somewhat limited music selection.”
- “The core mechanics are extremely solid, and if the gameplay loop manages to hook you then you'll easily sink a good number of hours into the game, especially if you have a competitive nature as global highscores are a feature.”

The game's soundtrack is highly praised, enhancing the zombie-bashing experience, but players note that the limited music selection contributes to a sense of repetitiveness as the game progresses. Overall, while the music complements the action well, it lacks variety to sustain engagement over time.
- “Just zombie bashing mayhem with a great soundtrack!!!”
- “The game does little to introduce new mechanics or challenges after beating the first few levels, resulting in a creeping feeling of repetitiveness, which isn't helped by a somewhat limited music selection.”

The story is criticized for being shallow and lacking depth, with reviewers noting that it feels underdeveloped and offers little meaningful experience across maps. While the concept has potential, the execution falls short, leading to repetitive gameplay and a need for more engaging quest elements.
- “The story is a page thick; each map offers really nothing new in meaningful experience, cars all have much the same carnage to offer, with an additional novel but pointless point of view option and a no-brainer strategy other than mash buttons while targeting the biggest horde to get your name on the board.”
- “Great idea with an okay execution, but they really need to fix up the controls and add maybe even some sort of actual quest mode.”

- “I can't believe with so many zombies, body parts, explosions, fire, and just things going on, this game runs smoothly at around 35fps on my Steam Deck.”
