    The gameplay is characterized by simple yet engaging mechanics that create an addictive loop, drawing players in despite a lack of variety in music. A helpful tutorial and in-game resources guide newcomers through the basics, enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate the game's "rogue lite" elements, which encourage repeated attempts and progression.

    • “The developer of the game was kind enough to make a short YouTube video describing the basics, which he links in the main menu, as well as provides an in-game poster right near the start that you can read which explains the basic mechanics.”
    • “I found lab 7 to be a 'rogue-lite' style game with an addictive gameplay loop that keeps me coming back after each failure.”
    • “Even though it has really simple mechanics, there is still a sort of complexity to them.”
    • “About the gameplay: when you wake up for the first time (in-game) you should definitely follow the tutorial carefully and study the provided aid (in the game menu).”
    • “Once you've overcome this obstacle, the actual gameplay begins.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game excessively grindy and repetitive, particularly in later levels where they face numerous bullet sponge enemies, leading to resource depletion and a frustrating experience.

    • “The game is extremely grindy and repetitive, with the later levels just throwing so many bullet sponge enemies your way that you go through your whole ammunition to get to a fuse box.”
    • “Grinding feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “The constant need to grind for resources takes away from the enjoyment of the gameplay.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I think the lighting looks good and the overall graphic design is consistent with the style.”
    • “Graphics are atmospheric, while the rooms come with nice details; some turrets are kept very simple.”
    • “You get numbered and graphic feedback, so if you go below zero, an alarm goes off and attracts zombies.”
    • “The graphics are atmospheric, but while the rooms are filled with nice details, some turrets are overly simplistic.”
    • “You receive numbered and graphic feedback, but if your score drops below zero, an alarm sounds, attracting zombies.”

    • “The gameplay is quite addicting, and even though there is not a ton of variety with the music, it's all very enjoyable.”
    • “The music is great.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Many players who typically do not enjoy replaying games find this title surprisingly engaging, indicating that it offers a unique experience that encourages multiple playthroughs despite their usual preferences.

    • “I'm not the type of gamer that likes speedruns, difficult games, or games that aim for replayability, but this game breaks my mold for that.”
