The game's storyline is engaging and well-crafted, but many players express frustration over its abrupt halt after reaching tech level 5, leaving them with repetitive side missions and no new campaign content. While the graphics and gameplay mechanics are praised, the lack of additional story missions has led to a sense of monotony and disappointment among long-time players. Overall, the narrative feels incomplete, and there is a strong desire for developers to expand the storyline and introduce new missions to maintain player interest.

- “The graphics are great, the missions are fun and challenging, you're allowed to choose your difficulty level before each mission.”
- “The story is very limited.”
- “The story suddenly cuts off in South America (the 5th out of 11 unlockable regions).”
- “I would give it more stars if there were actually any missions after South America. After that, you just do the same operations over and over again.”
- “I noticed that the story of this game is incomplete, so can you please add some more story missions and give a good ending.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of forced ads and high prices for in-app purchases. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the ads are intrusive and disrupt gameplay, leading to a negative experience. Despite these issues, a few players noted that purchasing certain items can effectively remove ads, enhancing their overall enjoyment of the game.
- “What an amazing game....tons to do to keep you busy...don't have to spend real money (although it helps)....no ads...easy to learn and move... great graphics...i have had nooooo trouble with any bugs or freezing up...very smooth on my pixel 3 xl... i am now on my third continent so i am just breaking the surface of the game... great job ladies and gentlemen.... thank you”
- “I played Dead Trigger 2 back when it released, and for a free-to-play game, it really doesn't force you to buy the microtransactions in-game.”
- “There are no advertising, only if you want free gold.”
- “The only complaint I have is the ridiculous prices of most of the in-app purchases (I mean $55 for 1-4 weapons pack. Seriously? The price of a AAA full game for a few weapons?) and the fact that they removed one of the few in-app purchases that were worth the money (permanent double money for $5).”
- “It's all about the developers wanting you to spend money as if they don't make enough off all the ads.”
- “If the game didn't have forced ads on top of wanting you to watch an ad for every little thing, it would be a great game.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent freezes, particularly after completing missions, which often results in lost progress. While some players find the game generally playable, the persistent bugs and glitches, especially during loading screens and mission transitions, detract from the overall experience and lead to frustration. Despite its enjoyable gameplay and graphics, the stability issues have prompted many users to rate the game lower than they otherwise would.
- “Great game! There is plenty to do; even when you're waiting on a new mission, you can still play and earn blueprints and cash. I love the hideout and all its upgrades, and the controls are perfect—the best I've ever played with. The game moves smoothly with almost no glitches and pretty much zero lag. It's genuinely an awesome game.”
- “It has no glitches unlike other games.”
- “The game runs great on my computer, providing a smooth experience.”
- “Okay, devs please hear me out, the game is good, generous in rewards, and not pay-to-win, I just hate that a bug where sometimes the game is stuck in authentication and when I exit a mission the game sometimes freezes, making me lose my progress. I'll make it 5 stars if you fix it.”
- “The game freezes on the loading screen after completing a campaign mission and I'm left with only the option to close and restart it.”
- “I enjoyed playing Dead Trigger 2 but it's really frustrating when after completing my mission the app freezes and does not save my progress, so I need to keep repeating missions once it reloads.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and repetitive, particularly in the later stages where progression requires significant time investment or monetary spending to upgrade effectively. While some appreciate the sense of accomplishment from grinding for resources and upgrades, many express frustration over the monotony and the need to replay missions multiple times, leading to a tedious experience. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable but heavily reliant on grinding, which can detract from long-term engagement.
- “However, the progression system becomes extremely grindy very quickly and is obviously geared towards getting you to spend money on gold to upgrade faster.”
- “Great graphics and great gameplay, but unless you're willing to pay a lot to make this game more interesting, it will get tediously boring.”
- “It's a very good game with unbelievable grinding; it literally takes you years to upgrade in this game just like other generic strategy games. The game is just repetitive grind and it's getting boring.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it annoying due to its slow, stretched quality that clashes with the gameplay. Additionally, the in-mission music is noted to be lower-pitched and slower, which detracts from the overall experience, while the background music often disappears during ad interruptions. Despite some positive mentions of the music during missions, the overall sentiment suggests that it fails to enhance the game's atmosphere, particularly in a horror context.
- “What about horror mode/gameplay where the environment and zombies are scary and terrifying with some haunting music playing in the background in a totally new series of maps.”
- “This only affects in-mission music, not menu music nor the mission complete music.”
- “It got to the point where all I hear is loud, statically stretched sound effects, music, and voices, which is painful to hear.”
- “This disappoints me. I need to close the game first before the sound comes back, but the ads come back again and again, so the background music of the game disappears after that pop-up.”
- “One minor issue: the music that plays during missions is slightly lower-pitched and slower than before.”

Overall, the game is praised for its impressive graphics and smooth performance on various devices, indicating strong optimization. However, some users have reported issues with audio stuttering and HUD settings that reset, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these minor setbacks, the game's optimization is generally regarded as commendable.
- “Well, this game is awesome! The graphics are well optimized, beautiful, and the controls are easy to get used to.”
- “The reason why I put 4 stars is because of its amazing graphics, which are optimized to another level.”
- “Game runs smoothly; modes are awesome, designs, graphics, controls, the whole thing is awesome.”
- “First is the audio issue; I don't know why the audio is stuttering. I tried messing with the developer options, but it doesn't work. Second is the HUD settings: every time I move the fire button or any button to the top left of the screen, it just teleports back to the top right of the screen.”
- “Better performance than Dead Trigger 1.”

- “It's hilarious in itself and even though the protagonist has the vocabulary of a parrot and nothing is explained, it's satisfying.”
- “On the bright side, the comments your character makes are hilarious and the graphics and movements are absolutely top notch!”
- “So far I really dig this game... I've tried three other FPS zombie games and have spent a lot of money on all the enhancements, and yet there's very little scene change; it's just the same thing over and over... but Dead Trigger 2 definitely has great graphics and a lot of different action, scenery, and humor too.”

Players find the game's emotional impact significant, particularly noting the tragic ending that evokes strong feelings. While some appreciate the heart-touching narrative, there is a desire for more story missions to provide a more heroic conclusion and further explore the emotional depth of the game.
- “My improvement is that I played this game three times consecutively from 2019 to the present. Please, please make more story missions. I deleted it two times because the story mode has a tragic end, not a heroic one. I don't expect this from this game; it's a heart-touching killing game. So please make more story missions after South America. I request this to the developers; it's my desire, not just the desire of every player.”
