The graphics in the game are generally considered solid and improved significantly with a recent update, enhancing both visuals and immersion. However, some users noted issues such as stiff zombie animations and clipping problems. While initial impressions were negative due to a retro aesthetic, many players now appreciate the upgraded graphics, though some desire options to reduce visual effects like fog.
“The graphics are nice, but the zombies are a little stiff, and there is some clipping when they turn.”
“Now with the recent update, this game has graphics that are 2x better, along with fun animations and immersion.”
“I would really like the fog from the Nintendo 64 days washing out the beautiful city streets to go away, or at least give us a setting for those of us with better graphics cards to do so.”
“I actually thought this game would suck with its N64-looking graphics, but this is one of my favorite HTC Vive games.”

The story is minimal and not a focal point of the game, but it serves as a backdrop for engaging gameplay centered around defending against waves of zombies.
“The story feels underdeveloped and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
“There are interesting ideas, but the narrative is poorly executed and leaves many plot points unresolved.”
“The lack of a coherent storyline makes the game feel more like a series of disjointed events rather than a cohesive experience.”
