Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the cartoonish and simple art style that runs well on lower-end devices. While some users praise the visuals as "good" and "well-designed," others express frustration with lag issues and the need for better optimization, particularly for devices with limited resources. Despite these concerns, the graphics are generally seen as a positive aspect of the gameplay experience.
“First of all, nice game dude, very challenging for me as a beginner of the game, and it has great graphics.”
“Well designed and graphically appealing.”
“Great graphics and gameplay; however, after losing 3 large crates of all types of long-range weapons and 2 large crates of police clothing, fabrics, etc., for a 2nd time and now having to build back up, it hardly seems worth playing.”
“The graphics are basic, but the game has all the same play as those that look more sophisticated.”
“Every time I try to go to a new location it crashes and I've tried adjusting the graphics and fps but they were already on the lowest setting and if I raised either of them it was too laggy to walk.”
“Graphics are very low.”

The game's story is generally viewed as lacking depth, with many players expressing a desire for more narrative elements, quests, and character interactions to enhance the experience. While some appreciate the initial storyline and the game's overall concept, there is a strong consensus that additional story content, missions, and NPCs would significantly improve engagement and gameplay. Overall, players feel that the game has potential but needs a more robust storyline to elevate it further.
“Truly a well-made survival game, has a good short story as an intro to the game.”
“Smooth progression through the story.”
“I love the story of the game and overall everything is really smooth.”
“But aside from that, there's no narrative or real story to the game.”
“Minus 2 stars because there are no quests to complete or any NPC interaction; it's basically just grind, kill, craft, and grind some more.”
“I totally liked the game, but please make a storyline in this game, especially on missions, to create a more lively feeling.”

Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the graphics, mechanics, and balance of challenge. However, frustrations arise from issues like limited resources, respawning enemies, and inventory management, which can detract from the experience. Many users express a desire for additional features, improved mechanics, and more content to enhance gameplay further.
“I like the concept, graphics style, and gameplay.”
“When I played this game, it's so beautiful to play because it's not really hard and not really easy to play. Its gameplay is balanced, and I like the graphics. It's so intense when the zombie is chasing you, but I love this game; it's amazing and beautiful.”
“Great gameplay and overall great mechanics all around.”
“Good game, but I hate the fact that you could have killed all the enemies except two in an area, but when you go to retrieve your stuff, all of them are back. At a location like the gas station, if a screamer spawns when there wasn't one before, all of a sudden a horde comes and you die again. If you don't bring a belt to hold your healing items, it's frustrating. I know it's stupid to ask, but can I have two green pistols and 120 pistol bullets for free to replace a small fraction of what I lost due to a stupid mechanic?”
“I've been playing this game for quite some time offline, and when I tried to go online and connect to Google, it crashed the game and I couldn't open it again. Some of my friends told me that I should clear the data on it, but my gameplay will be lost forever.”
“There's not much to do; it's a boring game unless you pay for resources, which is unacceptable in the first hour of gameplay.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the option to earn rewards through watching ads. However, many criticize the energy system and crafting mechanics as overly restrictive and designed to encourage spending money, leading to frustration over limited resources and the need to watch ads for essential gameplay features. Overall, while some players find the monetization less aggressive than similar games, others feel it still leans towards a cash grab approach.
“I made in-app purchases and spent hours making my 'home' perfect.”
“It's amazing to play this game with no ads. I appreciate this survival game for doing it right. I will give it a five-star review.”
“The energy system is incredibly limiting and a blatant attempt to cash grab.”
“Materials are harder to grind now and crucial blueprints/recipes are gone for good or all the way down to the 50 level zone. Not only that, workbenches are now 1 slot (need to watch ads to open 4 more slots) and even though you could watch ads, it's now limited.”
“Just uninstalled the game. The latest update is too unfair. I mean, it's great that there's a new raincatcher that I don't have to go to the river place every time, but it's too unfair. First, the crafting system—I thought you were changing it for the better, but I was wrong. The demand for crafting things is too much, especially the workbenches. Why did you lock the slots? Now I seriously have to either spend money or watch ads.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, with many expressing a desire for more variety in maps and improvements to the grinding mechanics, such as better options for leveling and upgrading. While some appreciate the survival challenge and strategic elements, others feel that the grind becomes tedious, especially at higher levels, and that the game could benefit from additional features like farming and a more engaging loot system. Overall, the consensus is that while the game is enjoyable, the grinding experience could be refined to enhance player engagement.
“The game is way too grindy; everything breaks way too easily, and why is everything able to chase you from across the map?”
“It's too grindy when you reach level 11. It might be because of the level 20 and 30 locations. If you're going to do that, put in an arena. I know you did that with the bunker, and it's fun, but you need materials to get to that fun. That's my only beef with the game.”
“You can't see or have the option to know before you travel. Grinding perks or leveling for talent is lame because it gives you 3 random options that you can upgrade instead of leveling or upgrading it with your own freedom.”

“Hi my name is Myra, I have to give this game 1 star. I didn't really like it because it glitches really bad and sometimes I couldn't do anything like building and stuff. Please will you make the game better, like add something you can ride, better things to craft, and more better weapons you can get. Thanks.”
“The controls are wacky and do what they want or freeze up and don't move. What the heck?”

Users express concerns about the game's optimization, particularly for devices with only 3GB of RAM, citing issues like lag, low frame rates, and slow loading times. While some players appreciate the game's visuals and overall performance on higher-end devices, many feel that significant improvements are necessary to enhance the experience for those with lower specifications. Overall, the game has potential but requires better optimization to cater to a wider range of devices.
“My phone can only go for 30 fps and low graphics without lag, but the game still looks good and runs smoothly.”
“The game is excellent, but the developers should make big changes in order for the game to run smoothly.”
“Now I give this 3 stars because the fps is low on low-end devices, and this needs more optimization.”
“The lag is unbearable; please optimize the game for phones with only 3GB RAM.”
“This game needs more improvements and optimization. It's very hard to level up, and when I sneak up behind the zombies, I expected them to die in one hit.”
“Low-quality graphics, low MB games, and slow loading with lagging online, despite high and fast performance device requirements.”
