The gameplay of the title has received mixed reviews, with some players noting that it features interesting mechanics, such as using zombies as weapons, but ultimately falls short due to poor hit detection, subpar optimization, and a lack of engaging content. Critics argue that the game feels unnatural and is marred by a "pay-to-win" model, leading to a frustrating experience that fails to capitalize on its potential. Overall, while there are hints of originality, the execution leaves much to be desired.
- “I might get crucified for saying this, but Umbrella Corps has very similar mechanics (using the zombies as a weapon against your opponents) but does it all exponentially better.”
- “Gameplay was good; the maps needed to be bigger, but I've been following this title from closed beta.”
- “Maybe I am giving the game a little too much credit (I am), but the game at least has some potential to be an original shooter with the zombie mechanic, even if it's not there yet.”
- “You have to pay to win, and it's way too boring to even think about. It's a waste of time and money. They have a long way to go. It looked fun as well, but it seems like they just threw bad mechanics with a bad idea, with a hint of a good idea that was left out for too long, like sour milk, and just went really bad. 10/10 bad.”
- “The gameplay feels unnatural, and it doesn't help that the hit detection is garbage.”
- “The optimization is not where it should be, and it doesn't help that the gameplay is in bad condition. I get 44 fps on high with a GTX 970 and AMD FX-8350; this is not good.”
