The gameplay has seen significant improvements with stable performance, clearer mechanics, and enhanced graphics, making it enjoyable for the price. While the new building features and balanced weapon mechanics are praised, some players find the experience can become repetitive and note issues with movement and gun mechanics, particularly bullet drop. Overall, the game is considered polished and fun, with a supportive community, though it still has room for improvement.
- “The gameplay is pretty well polished, and although there are still bugs, it's surprisingly fun.”
- “The game is amazing and everyone is nice, it's easy to survive, and the gameplay is super smooth.”
- “The gameplay is smooth currently, with highly satisfying shooting and multiplayer action!”
- “My second problem is the gameplay; there's no clear motivation to do anything. I mean, I know it's supposed to be a remake of the Walking Dead Minecraft mod, but I would honestly play the Minecraft version instead of this.”
- “Basic movement mechanics are very buggy; I get stuck on corners of many blocks (even grass blocks) while running and walking.”
- “The gun mechanics were pretty bad, especially the bullet drop considering your render distance was a lot farther than the bullet could actually travel.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, crashes, and glitches since its launch. Many players experience issues such as black screens, freezing, and problematic movement mechanics, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. While some acknowledge that the game is still in early access and expect bugs, the overall sentiment suggests that significant improvements are needed for a more stable experience.
- “Buggy since day one, and neglected since day 524.”
- “Just spawning with some guns and just shoot zombies... it's then not really my game then and if I start the game I have a black screen and if I left click it will crash and if I'm playing a couple of minutes the game just freezes and if I press my moving keys I hear my character walking and shooting so I don't know how to fix it but I don't even want to play this game anymore and the game is dead.”
- “Yes it just got released but there are some things that should probably have been put into play before actually launching the game, such as headshots, a couple of glitches like not being able to drink water at certain times and the overall clunkiness of the game.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the overall visual quality and art style, particularly highlighting the improved mechanics and map updates. However, some players feel that while the graphics are decent, they lack depth and could benefit from further enhancement, especially in world design. Overall, the visuals are considered good for the price, but there is room for improvement.
- “Graphics and everything is amazing! Highly recommend this as a game for your Steam library.”
- “Overall, the game was abandoned for quite a while, and the devs came back again with a few updates. The new graphics, mechanics, items, and the map made the game a lot better. It is well optimized, and yes, it can be quite repetitive after playing it for a few hours, but overall, it's good for the price tag.”
- “Servers are empty, but I know the developers can't help that. The graphics are nice, and the design is also nice; it just needs more features.”
- “The art style is strange and there's no servers to play on.”
- “The art style of the game is okay but it could be improved greatly as it seems that the creator added more emphasis on the campfire (by far the prettiest thing I saw in the game) than he did on the actual world.”

- “Well optimized.”
