The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards and the ability to pay for an ad-free experience, others feel overwhelmed by the constant interruptions, especially during gameplay transitions. Overall, while the game is playable for free, the heavy reliance on ads has led to a significant number of players considering it a major drawback.
“A pretty good survival game that has no paywall, and is ad-supported, unless you buy the game which will have no ads.”
“Wow, you made such a great game! Unlike most games in this style on the app store, it isn't pay-to-win and has an actual storyline. The ads don't bother me; you need to make money somehow, and the in-app purchases are very cheap and seem well worth it.”
“It's like a bird's eye view version of 'This War Is Mine.' I like that it isn't shoving in-app purchases down your throat, so all in all, it's a grand little game.”
“Developers are charging a lot for a game that they need to constantly bombard with ads; it's highly likely because the game isn't worth purchasing, so they try to get money by other means.”
“The audacity to treat people with these immoral ads is disgusting and disrespectful.”
“It's just sad because the 'forced-view' ads are annoying; unlike in other games, you get something every time in exchange for viewing ads, because you also get something out of it, right?”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its smooth mechanics, engaging storyline, and unique elements that enhance the survival experience. However, others have criticized it for being repetitive, clunky, and lacking depth in certain areas, such as character variety and inventory management. Overall, while many find the gameplay enjoyable and intuitive, there are calls for improvements and more innovative mechanics to keep players engaged.
“From the mechanics of mood to the storyline, there's a depth of attention to the game design.”
“Gameplay is really smooth and just cool!”
“I don't usually leave a review but after playing this I just had to; developers, you have outdone yourselves with this game. It is so well polished, resources aren't too scarce, a great long-lasting storyline, and smooth gameplay.”
“Gameplay is a little stiff.”
“It has clunky gameplay mechanics, poor English translation, bad characters, unoriginal zombies that follow an on-rails path, a very basic inventory system, and basic weaponry. When you painstakingly finish this game's tutorial stage, it asks you to pay $4.99 to unlock the rest of the game, promising that all DLCs will be free.”
“A really dreadful game - terrible translation of terrible writing and plot, eyestrain-inducing UI and indistinct graphics, on top of tedious inventory management gameplay and a mediocre, linear story.”

“Sleeping till dawn, listening to music to improve mood and decrease hunger rate, but as these events happen over many hours, the food starts spoiling.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some appreciate the unique gameplay and story progression that minimizes the need for extensive grinding, others find it tedious and frustrating, particularly when resource management leads to stagnation. Issues like character control and inventory management further detract from the experience, with some players feeling that excessive grinding can lead to a loss of interest in the game. Overall, the balance between grinding and progression is a significant point of contention among users.
“It'd be a great game if it was offline; the survival aspect is totally fine, the storyline is great, but the difficulty of the game often relies on how you manage your time and resources, making it frustrating to keep grinding for essential resources that leave you stuck in the same place without progressing further in the story.”
“I mean, you spend hours grinding only to get raided a few minutes later; that's insane and not cool.”
“A really dreadful game - terrible translation of terrible writing and plot, eyestrain-inducing UI and indistinct graphics, on top of tedious inventory management gameplay and a mediocre, linear story.”
