The gameplay is characterized by a satisfying and addictive resource-gathering loop, with mechanics that prioritize fun over realism, making it enjoyable despite its slower pace compared to typical shooters. While the reloading mechanics and overall game style are appreciated, there are suggestions for improvements in audio cues, health regeneration, and graphics settings. Overall, players find it to be a charming experience, especially for its price point.
- “The focus is on fun, satisfying game mechanics, not immersive interactions.”
- “The game mechanics are quite a bit more sophisticated and refined, and while this isn't an ultra-realistic shooting simulator, I really appreciated the subtle details like having functional slide locks.”
- “Amazing game mechanics; I love the style of the game.”
- “The reloading mechanics lack weight to them, which is actually a welcome change.”
- “Audio for the runner and that weird creeper creature could be improved, as if they come up behind you then you can't tell and you're pretty much dead. Also, there are no health regeneration mechanics so far (I don't know if that's on purpose or I just haven't found out how to yet).”
- “Maybe the hand 'laser pointer' as well as grabbing items off the floor is a little bit hit and miss.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered decent, with zombies looking good, though some users noted a lack of variety and detail in weapon designs. While the visuals are satisfactory, players expressed a desire for more graphics settings to enhance fidelity. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the experience, but improvements in certain areas could elevate the game's appeal.
- “Actually quite an enjoyable game, kind of like another zombie game called The Living Remain. It's not massively fast-paced, but that somehow makes the game even better than a 100mph shoot 'em up. I found the gameplay loop to get resources a little bit addictive and had to slowly put the headset down after a couple of hours. I would appreciate further graphics settings so I can increase the fidelity.”
- “Graphics are decent, and the zombies look good. I would appreciate further graphics settings so I can increase the fidelity.”

The game suffers from significant optimization issues, requiring numerous performance updates due to excessive VRAM usage and frequent FPS drops, even though other games run smoothly on the same system. Additionally, players have requested the inclusion of controller-based movement options in the settings.
- “It needs a lot of performance updates. For such a simple game, it uses a ridiculous amount of VRAM and has FPS drops like crazy. I have no issues with other games I own. Also, please add movement based on controller in settings; I hate moving by headset!”
