The gameplay is generally seen as having potential but is hindered by bugs, glitches, and a lack of tutorials, leaving players to navigate mechanics on their own. Combat feels unrealistic, and encounters, such as with zombies, lack challenge, suggesting a need for more focus on gameplay improvements. Overall, while the game is functional, it currently feels more like a proof of concept than a polished experience.
“More focus should be placed on gameplay and less on other things.”
“I will definitely buy again on sale further down the road, when the UI and gameplay are a little smoother and more streamlined, and some kind of tutorial progression is implemented.”
“Game has lots of potential, love the gameplay and the crossbow but it is far yet to be a stable release.”
“The game is alright; it definitely has its bugs and glitches. The gameplay is not too bad, although there have been no recent updates.”
“I encountered one zombie during my gameplay, and it showed no challenge whatsoever.”
“For now, while the game is fully functional, it's more of a proof of concept or mechanic than anything.”

Overall, the graphics are considered adequate but not exceptional compared to other titles in the survival genre.

“Graphics look decent.”
“Graphics are too blurred and the crafting system needs to be more simplified.”
“Graphics look decent, but zombies are glitched and take no damage; bugs galore.”

Users express concerns about the monetization strategy of the game, fearing it may be a cash grab similar to previous titles like "The Region." There is skepticism regarding the game's quality and the potential for it to be an asset flip, leading to a cautious wait-and-see approach before further engagement.
“Have to wait some months to retry as a beta version, if it's not another cash grab asset flip.”
“One mask I've seen before in a game called 'The Region,' which was a complete cash grab made by Black Snake Games. This game kind of reminds me of that game; hopefully, it's not the same developer.”
