  • Affordable price with decent content value including a huge open world and plenty of car customization options.
  • Interesting concept with solid mechanics and potential for growth, showing care from the developer.
  • Engaging enough to absorb some players for extended sessions and recommended for those supporting indie development.
  • Game is very buggy and clunky with numerous issues including poor AI behavior, collision problems, and unreliable hit registration.
  • Graphics and audio are dated and repetitive, with building and crafting mechanics feeling frustrating and unfinished.
  • Limited endgame content and lacking depth in gameplay; quests end with little to do and the zombie threat is minimal.

    The story is relatively short and straightforward, taking about 105 minutes to complete all quests. It offers limited depth and challenge, with minimal threats and no tutorial beyond mission guidance, leading to little incentive to continue playing afterward.

    • “105 minutes to get all 12 achievements, not the worst 5 bucks I ever spent, but after the quests there's nothing else to do besides trying to build a janky house on your truck.”
    • “They are almost no actual threat at all which is why I stopped playing after the quests ended.”
    • “No tutorial besides following the missions.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from numerous bugs and glitches that severely impact stability, including wonky car controls, unreliable crafting, and faulty aiming mechanics. These issues create a frustrating experience, making core gameplay elements like combat and building feel broken and unpolished.

    • “This game is filled with bugs and glitches. The car controls are wonky, building mechanics are awful, and storage is inadequate. The aiming system is shaky, with no reliable hitboxes for headshots. Crafting is a nightmare, often not allowing item creation even when materials are available.”
    • “The game’s stability is poor, with frequent bugs that affect core gameplay elements like vehicle handling and crafting. The presence of glitches undermines the survival experience, making it frustrating and unreliable.”
    • “Numerous glitches and bugs disrupt gameplay, including issues with vehicle physics and crafting mechanics. This instability detracts significantly from what could have been a solid zombie survival game.”
