The game suffers from significant stability issues, including bugs that disrupt gameplay, such as zombies ignoring players and non-functional weapons. Despite ongoing updates, many glitches remain, detracting from the overall experience. Players have found a more polished alternative in the developer's other title, Village Feud.
“Really fun concept but too buggy to play for more than three hours. Zombies start ignoring you in the later rounds, some weapons do not work, and they won't respawn at the end of their rounds, among many other issues.”
“Updates are still being made as of December, but there are still so many glitches that it ruins the gameplay.”
“I can slightly recommend their other game, Village Feud, although it's not as buggy, twice as finished, and not too terrible for the price.”

The optimization of the game has been criticized for significant frame rate stuttering, especially during turns, which appears to fluctuate unpredictably. Additionally, players have suggested the inclusion of a feature to allow sharing resources like money and weapons among teammates, as current performance is tied to individual contributions.
“There are some major stuttering issues in the FPS, particularly noticeable when turning, and it seems to get worse and better at random.”
