    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it addictive and enjoyable due to its unique auto shooter mechanics and robust customization options. However, many criticize it as a tedious clone of "Vampire Survivors," plagued by frustrating weapon mechanics and a lack of depth, particularly in its demo form.

    • “Copypaste of Vampire Survivors with bad visual style (looks and feels like a mobile port) and horrible weapon mechanics.”

  • monetization
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for being essentially an advertisement for "fatalzone" rather than a legitimate game, misleading players by presenting it as a full product. Users express frustration over the practice of publishing demos and ads as separate games, which detracts from genuine developers and misuses marketing space. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative and not worth the time or money.

    • “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
    • “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”
