The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users noting its basic mechanics and early access status. While the premise and potential are appreciated, players criticize the repetitive and stale gameplay, lack of depth in features, and issues with map design. Some find the controls smooth and the overall quality promising, but many recommend waiting for future updates before fully engaging with the game.
- “After 2 hours of gameplay, the game is really early but it's good and the concept is great.”
- “The mechanics, details, movement, sound/music, and the overall quality is outstanding in my opinion.”
- “It has most of the mechanics in place and is set for some more awesome features in the future.”
- “If you want gameplay, you will only find game-pain.”
- “Currently the small map and gameplay features (escorting NPCs to a safe zone only awards one player with money in multiplayer, 4 hits with a slow bat do the same damage as 4 hits with a slower bat, etc.) make it definitely early access, but I look forward to the creature system being refined.”
- “Gonna put a thumbs up for it simply because it's very smooth, looks nice and runs well, etc... but currently, the map is just very big, feels very empty, and the gameplay is rather stale. I was able to beat multiple enemies to death with the starting baseball bat by just walking up, smacking them once, then backing up.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and lacking in meaningful rewards, suggesting that the introduction of easier enemies for XP farming could enhance the experience. The current mechanics make combat cumbersome, and while resource management is manageable, the overall grind feels unfulfilling.
- “I don't feel that it adds much...it's just more tedious.”
- “The current creatures can be killed, but you need to get them stuck (in a doorway) to kill them with melee. The cash gain, be it a couple of dollars per zombie, and XP is low as well, which makes starting out less enjoyable.”
