  • graphics
    349 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their charming pixel art style, smooth animations, and nostalgic appeal reminiscent of classic titles like Metal Slug. Many players appreciate the vibrant visuals that enhance the gameplay experience, although some express a desire for more variety and improvements in certain areas. Overall, the graphics are considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's addictive and engaging nature.

    • “The graphics are absolutely amazing.”
    • “I love the pixel art style, shop system, and zombies in general; if you like fast-paced, pixel gore, shooting, upgradable games, then this is the one for you.”
    • “The graphics are charming and the gameplay is engaging and dynamic.”
    • “Thought it's gonna be some fun time waster but it's grinding for upgrades in quite a mediocre environment. Immersion is not great, graphics are okay, the gameplay sucks though, I feel bored after a few upgrades, everything's the same.”
    • “Fun little zombie/racing game, the graphics aren't great but the game is fun enough; who cares about the graphics.”
    • “Graphics kinda hurt the eyes.”
  • gameplay
    215 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its addictive nature, simple mechanics, and charming pixel art style, making it enjoyable and engaging for players. However, some users express concerns about repetitive elements, new mechanics that hinder enjoyment, and issues with controls and progression, particularly after updates. Overall, while the core gameplay is fun and rewarding, there are calls for improvements and additional content to maintain interest.

    • “Gameplay itself is great - the art is very memorable, controls are simple, and the gameplay loop keeps you coming back.”
    • “The sprites/animations, stages, music, and gameplay, along with the many variations of zombies, each with their own unique looks and skills, show a level of dedication and creativity that I haven't seen in a mobile game (or any other game for that matter) in a long time.”
    • “Great gameplay, great art style, and a simple but satisfying basic concept behind the game.”
    • “I'm sure this system would be fine if you just discovered the game, but knowing how perfect it was before puts a stain on my gameplay now.”
    • “Was a good game, wanted to play it two years ago and found out it was unplayable now. I'm ultimately disappointed; all new mechanics are horrid. Fuel can now run out, forcing you to lose the ability to accelerate. Upgrade tokens are just a way to slow the gameplay loop down as much as they could. Now, instead of coins to upgrade, you have to try and collect them in missions. You can't use coins to buy starter upgrades before a mission; everything asks for real money now as well.”
    • “Absolute garbage, crappy gameplay and a shameless money grab.”
  • monetization
    178 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the optional ads that provide rewards without being intrusive, while others criticize the high prices of in-app purchases and the presence of frustratingly difficult missions that require grinding or ad-watching to progress. Many users feel that the game balances ads well, using them as a means to enhance gameplay rather than hinder it, though some express concerns about the overall fairness and value of the monetization model, labeling it as a potential cash grab. Overall, while some players enjoy the game without spending money, others find the monetization tactics to be excessive and detrimental to the experience.

    • “Absolutely no ads unless you choose to watch them, not even any ads after you die or anything.”
    • “Everything is fair in this game; no need to buy in-app purchases if you don't want to. You will complete missions with practice, and weapons and bikes perform better with upgrading. The second chance is very fair and really useful.”
    • “Most importantly, the monetization is very fair, as compared to other free-to-play games on Android.”
    • “However, the price of in-app purchases is egregious - for one character's worth of coins it's $25!”
    • “The game feels like a cash grab to me.”
    • “The problem is progress is so difficult that it forces microtransactions and the amount to spend to get anything worthwhile in-game is ridiculous.”
  • story
    151 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and narrative structure, with many players expressing a desire for a dedicated story mode to enhance the gameplay experience. While the missions provide a variety of challenges, they are often deemed frustratingly difficult and sometimes feel disconnected from any overarching plot, leading to player frustration and a sense of repetitiveness. Overall, the consensus is that adding a more engaging storyline could significantly improve player enjoyment and retention.

    • “I love the intro in the beginning; it caught me off guard but it told a story.”
    • “I would definitely recommend this game to anyone. I had a lot of fun playing it, and I would absolutely love for them to make a sequel where it's more of a survival type, where you go from town to town, go through the story of how the zombies appeared and do quests for other people.”
    • “Amazing concept, beautiful graphics, a little story, and I love it; it is so funny and addicting. I would love to see a tiny storyline, but that isn't essential. Great work, guys!”
    • “I left because of an impossible mission and I just noticed what's the problem: I'm at rank 5 and I need a rank 15 to pass the mission (10 double kills with shotgun), so I ended up abandoning the game out of frustration.”
    • “The challenges for each level of missions are too outrageous for the control design.”
    • “If this had an actual story mode and was not a 'freemium'-style arcade game, it would be one of my favorites of the runner-genre.”
  • grinding
    80 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that the game features a significant amount of grinding, which can be both a point of frustration and enjoyment for players. While some appreciate the challenge and time-killing aspect of grinding, many express dissatisfaction with the repetitive nature and the necessity to either grind extensively or spend real money to progress. Overall, the grinding is seen as excessive by some, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “This wouldn't be a problem except that the game progression is purposely slow and grindy.”
    • “Having completed all but the final stage to 3 stars without spending a penny 3 years ago, redownloading it the other day has reminded me why, despite grinding so hard, and watching countless ads, I uninstalled the game - this is clearly a pay-to-win game.”
    • “Love the game however... it would literally cost hundreds of dollars or a lifetime of grinding to unlock everything... not cool devs.”
  • music
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and retro style, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, many users express frustration over the game's tendency to interrupt or stop their personal music apps while playing, which detracts from their enjoyment. Overall, while the soundtrack is well-received, the audio issues and lack of additional music options are common points of criticism.

    • “The sprites/animations, stages, music, and gameplay, along with the many variations of zombies, each with their own unique looks and skills, show a level of dedication and creativity that I haven't seen in a mobile game (or any other game for that matter) in a long time.”
    • “A lot of fun, superb pixel art, nice music, and as a cherry on top, free.”
    • “This game is amazing: the soundtrack is brilliant, the gameplay is really fun, the graphics are charming, and this should be an editor's choice arcade game!”
    • “Opening the game and watching in-game ads stops music apps and doesn't start them again.”
    • “I can't hear the sound effects, only the music.”
    • “Every time after the intro animation, the game freezes for a few seconds, then the sound effects refuse to play and the music plays once then stops rather than looping.”
  • humor
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding the interactions and antics of zombies to be hilarious and entertaining. Many reviews highlight the game's ability to evoke laughter through its absurd scenarios, such as zombies colliding or their exaggerated reactions. However, some players note that the humor can become repetitive over time, especially during prolonged gameplay. Overall, the game is considered a fun and funny experience that adds to its addictive nature.

    • “This game is hilarious, addictive and high speed with laughing mayhem, a great addition to my zombie game repertoire.”
    • “The faces of the zombies when they fell from the ramp is funny .”
    • “It's fun and really funny for my sense of humor, so thanks for the game!”
  • stability
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting that it frequently freezes at the Mobirate logo screen, preventing them from playing. While some players note smooth graphics and controls once the game is running, the persistent freezing and lack of updates since 2017 have led to frustration and loss of progress for many. Overall, the stability problems overshadow the game's positive aspects, making it difficult for players to enjoy.

    • “Graphics are as expected, controls are smooth, slightly challenging, and the game runs great.”
    • “Plays great, looks great, and runs great.”
    • “Easy controls, and the game runs great!”
    • “Being stuck on the Mobirate logo, the game just freezes up.”
    • “I only got the Mobirate logo, and the game completely freezes with no signs of loading.”
    • “The game freezes up at the logo and I'm sad because I lost all my progress.”
  • replayability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its high replayability, with many users enjoying its retro graphics, easy controls, and engaging challenges and collectibles. However, some players feel that replay value diminishes after achieving certain goals, suggesting a mixed experience in long-term engagement. Overall, it is considered a fun and addictive game with significant replay potential.

    • “This game is dope... nice retro graphics, easy controls, and much replay value.”
    • “Fun game for when I'm offline, really fun and replayable once you get into it, nice little challenges and collectibles too.”
    • “A casual game with infinite replayability.”
    • “The replay value, however, is pretty much nonexistent after getting the stuff you worked for.”
  • atmosphere
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its immersive and nostalgic qualities, effectively enhancing the tension during gameplay, especially in moments of danger. While some players note similarities in map design and weaponry, the overall ambiance and progression system contribute positively to the experience, making it engaging and enjoyable.

    • “You know sometimes the great controls and art style create special moments when you really feel the risky atmosphere as a zombie is just a few inches away from catching up to you.”
    • “This game is so good! I feel nostalgic every time I play it. The graphics are amazing, especially the types of zombies and the atmosphere; everything is just perfect. The gameplay is great as you level up, and the stages become harder in a good way. I hope you guys make more of this pixel-styled kind of game.”
    • “The atmosphere is awesome; keep up the good work!”
    • “Maps look similar, the atmosphere is the same, and the guns are not that different. Meh.”
    • “Not detracting from the atmosphere, my only possible complaint would be the lack of variety.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is mixed; while it runs smoothly on various devices and features enjoyable gameplay, some users report challenges in upgrading due to difficulty in collecting in-game currency. Additionally, the presence of ads is noted to enhance rather than detract from the experience. However, there are calls for more content, such as a campaign mode and character customization options.

    • “Amazing game overall, amazing graphics, and runs smoothly on my Samsung. The only thing I would want out of this game that it doesn't have is a campaign mode and character customization like hair, skin, and eye color, maybe body types.”
    • “I think it is a really great game. The animation is great, the game runs smoothly, and there are not too many ads. Overall, I think this game is great, but please could you add in some skins for the guns? Thanks.”
    • “Run smoothly on Zenfone Go, nice gameplay, but it is too hard to collect money for upgrading.”
    • “The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to frequent frame drops.”
    • “I experienced significant lag and stuttering, which ruined the gameplay experience.”
    • “Despite having a high-end PC, the optimization issues made the game unplayable at times.”
