The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness, stable performance, and engaging mechanics, particularly in building and combat, which enhance the overall experience. However, some players express concerns about a lack of motivation, bugs in movement mechanics, and issues with gun mechanics, such as excessive bullet drop and visibility problems with teammates. Despite these flaws, many believe the game has significant potential for improvement and enjoy its community-driven aspects.
- “The gameplay is smooth currently, with highly satisfying shooting and multiplayer action!”
- “The game is amazing and everyone is nice, it's easy to survive, and the gameplay is super smooth.”
- “This is the perfect block survival game, its new building mechanics are incredible, the landscape is amazing and it always keeps you guessing. The guns and melee weapons are chef's kiss; the damage is perfectly balanced, and the zoom feature is well coded, having only inside the scopes zoom (only with ACOGs and above from what I've seen). It's just beautiful.”
- “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 than this.”
- “Basic movement mechanics: very buggy, gets 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 basic movement mechanics that are unresponsive or clunky. 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 smoother 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.”
- “It was fun for a brief moment but then I ran into a couple of glitches such as zombies being able to hit through walls, invisible bleeding players, getting stuck on certain blocks when running or even when standing there I got stuck on some things (don't really know what it was).”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the new mechanics and overall design as impressive and visually appealing, while others find the art style lacking and in need of improvement. Although the graphics are generally described as nice, there are concerns about the emphasis on certain elements over the overall world design. Additionally, the absence of active servers detracts from the experience, despite the visual quality.
- “Graphics and everything is amazing! Highly recommend this as a game for your Steam library.”
- “The new graphics mechanics, items, and the map made the game a lot better for now.”
- “The graphics are nice, and the design is also nice; it just needs more features.”
- “The art style is strange and there are no servers to play on.”
- “The art style of the game is okay, but it could be greatly improved as it seems that the creator added more emphasis on the campfire (by far the prettiest thing I saw in the game) than on the actual world.”

- “The game's performance was stable, and the game mechanics were more clear now.”
- “The game is well optimized and yes it can be quite repetitive after playing it for a few hours, but overall, it's good for its price tag.”
- “Well optimized”
- “Badly optimized and barren servers; I can't see any reason to pay £7. Perhaps if it was free, it would encourage more players, but right now it's simply not worth it.”
