Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players enjoying the fun and satisfying zombie co-op mechanics, solid base building, and engaging horde-survival elements. However, significant issues such as bugs, a confusing UI, and a lack of updates detract from the experience, leading to frustration among users. While the game offers potential and can be enjoyable, its flaws and superficial character interactions hinder its overall appeal.
- “Pretty fun zombie co-op game, the gameplay is fun and satisfying for the most part, the base building is solid. The game as a whole is pretty short and doesn't overstay its welcome. Your first playthrough might take you 1-2 hours depending on how you want to play the game. You can also play it on higher difficulties for later playthroughs (though the only actually hard parts of the game are the dungeons and even then they're only challenging if you are unprepared and don't know what you're getting into; otherwise they're a cakewalk).”
- “This game has potential, with a beautiful low-poly/voxel style, and engaging base-building, horde-survival gameplay.”
- “But alas, the lack of updates and bug fixes left this game to rot away, to a state where not even the saving mechanic works.”
- “The characters you encounter along the way are superficial, and when assigned to tower-duty, couldn't hit a zombie if their lives depended on it (in my 4 hours of gameplay, not one of their shots has hit an approaching enemy).”

- “I have played this game before it went onto Steam, and I must say not only have things improved, but I am glad that the developers were able to make it this far with the game. I recommend buying it because not only is it a good price, but the gameplay is really easy to understand and it has a really good story that is fun to play along.”
- “The game lacks any meaningful story, leaving players feeling disconnected.”
- “There is virtually no narrative to engage with, making the experience feel hollow.”
