The gameplay is characterized by its reliance on outdated mechanics and a steep learning curve, particularly for newcomers unfamiliar with CS movement. While it offers a variety of skill-based climbing maps and both offline and online modes, many players find the mechanics janky and frustrating, with a lack of adequate tutorials to ease new players into the experience. Despite its potential for engaging gameplay, the execution leaves much to be desired, leading to mixed reviews on its overall enjoyment.
- “To explain it simply, kreedz climbing is a collection of an absolute load of various maps (plus workshop support) that all follow one of the main kz gameplay styles, which, to those who are uninformed, are basically skill-based movement-focused maps that rely not on killing other players, but rather, making it from one place to another via a number of obstacles that require very specific types of movement to get past.”
- “The perfect and highly regarded 1.6 movement mechanics combined with the functionalities of the Source engine.”
- “This is the 3D equivalent of the fangame: quirks and exploits of the Quake 3-derived movement system are treated as platforming mechanics that must be mastered in order to scale these truly immense structures.”
- “The gameplay feels clunky and outdated.”
- “This game has just plain awful mechanics.”
- “'Game' (or standalone mod) offers no entry level experience, making this game one of the most frustrating gameplay experiences I've ever had.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players praising the combination of Source engine visuals and classic CS 1.6 movement, describing it as a significant improvement over older versions. However, others criticize the graphics as subpar, with reports of buggy visuals and clunky controls. Overall, while many appreciate the aesthetic enhancements, there are notable concerns regarding performance and graphical fidelity.
- “Improved graphics, lots of commands, funny medal rewards, variety of difficult maps, etc.”
- “Definitely one of my favorite games, combining source graphics with CS 1.6 physics is what almost every KZ player wants, and this game did it in an excellent way.”
- “Amazing graphic improvement compared to CS 1.6 and this with the same movement. You also have so many new special courses you can do apart from the normal Kreedz, which is very good for variety in the game.”
- “After I started this game, I see CS:GO old version graphics and the same software, and that loser anti-cheat using this game.”
- “The controls feel clunky, the so-called 'b-hopping' using the mouse wheel doesn't even work properly, and the graphics are terrible (not like they look in the picture - even worse).”
- “Garbage instructions, buggy graphics, and a complete lack of a proper tutorial.”
