The music in the game has been widely criticized for being inappropriate and lacking intensity, failing to create a scary atmosphere. Reviewers noted that the upbeat soundtrack often overshadows crucial sound effects, such as enemy noises, which can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences. Overall, the music feels out of place and detracts from the game's intended tension and immersion.
- “All you really hear is music and gunfire... monster noises and perhaps more ambient stuff to add atmosphere would be pretty cool, and I think the game's style would lend itself well to it.”
- “For that, this one has all of the basics you need, though with a goofy soundtrack and strangely no sound effects to speak of other than your weapons.”
- “First off, the music is not fitting for this kind of game; it should be more intense and scary.”
- “This can get rather frustrating at times, especially since the uptempo music is playing and there's no sound from the creatures, allowing them to easily get you from behind.”
- “Uses music as a replacement for any sound emissions from enemies at all, so they sneak up behind you, killing you in 2 hits or so.”

The gameplay is criticized for being clunky and unpolished, with basic mechanics that feel unoriginal and poorly executed. While the concept shows potential, the simplistic design and ineffective enemy AI detract from the overall experience, making it feel like a lackluster imitation of better games.
- “The gameplay is very clunky and unpolished; it's evident the developer just dumped out a basic FPS map with Unity, filled it full of badly mismatched 3D asset monsters with basic wave survival attack mechanics, and then added a basic turret mechanism to make it seem like some kind of lame ripoff of Sanctum.”
- “If the towers weren't so effective, the enemies could have random pathing movements, but because the turrets are as exact as they are, and the mechanics of the game are so simple, perhaps this is just how it should be expected to function.”
- “Gameplay is poor.”

- “The graphics of the monsters are decent, but they are too fast and quiet, and the mix of dinosaurs, zombies, and mutants feels a bit shabby.”
- “I was highly skeptical about this game because of its graphics, which are clearly about 8 years behind the times, but hey, you get to slaughter biological freaks, zombies, and dinosaurs all at the same time.”
