The gameplay of the game is described as bare-bones and simplistic, with basic survival mechanics and limited depth, often leading to a tedious experience due to infinite enemy spawns and glitchy controls. While the graphics and immersive atmosphere are praised, many players find the gameplay repetitive and lacking in variety, with minimal strategic elements and a short overall playtime. Despite its flaws, some appreciate the challenge of surviving against waves of zombies and the addition of new elements in different zones.

“The intense survival mechanics keep you on the edge of your seat as you scavenge for resources and fend off hordes of zombies.”
“With its strategic gameplay and immersive atmosphere, this game is a must-play for any zombie enthusiast.”

“Overall gameplay feels pedestrian and is let down by some flimsy controls and tiresome infinite spawns that force Benny Hill-style kiting to avoid being overwhelmed.”
“No vaulting through windows, no climbing ladders (even though there are numerous conveniently-placed ladders in the game that it really looks like you should be able to climb), no hunger/thirst/boost mechanics, nothing.”

“From the cheesy story opening to the basic copy-and-paste zombies and terrible tutorial, I tried to play this game but couldn't get into it.”
