Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating its smooth mechanics, graphics, and potential for improvement. However, many users express frustration with certain aspects, such as the energy system, limited resources, and the presence of ads that disrupt the experience. Suggestions for enhancements include adding more equipment, storage options, and multiplayer features to enrich the gameplay further.
- “Overall, it's very playable and the gameplay mechanics are smooth! Developers should add more useful items like weapons and armor.”
- “The graphics, gameplay, and game mechanics are excellent. This is the best pocket-mobile survival game; it's simple but exciting.”
- “When I played this game, it was beautiful to play because it's balanced—not too hard and not too easy. The gameplay is intense, especially when zombies are chasing you.”
- “Mechanics are inferior including the harsh energy system, durability, and constant interruptions from forced ads.”
- “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, so at a location like a gas station if a screamer spawns when there wasn't one before, all of a sudden a horde comes and you die again.”
- “There's not much to do, boring game unless you pay for resources which is unacceptable in the first hour of gameplay.”
stability

The stability of the game is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, glitches, and crashes that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience issues such as the game freezing for several seconds, losing progress due to unresponsive controls, and bugs that affect building and item retrieval. While some users appreciate the game's potential, the overall consensus indicates that stability improvements are urgently needed for a better gaming experience.
- “Great game to kill time and has a lot of potential. Recently, the game has been freezing every 15 seconds, and it freezes for about 2-6 seconds at a time. During that time, I was getting killed because of the lack of response. I was playing this game 3 hours a day, and now I'm done with it. I spent so many hours and days building my cache and character just to watch the screen, slamming the buttons, only to keep losing everything I've worked for.”
- “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 make the game better, like adding things you can ride, better things to craft, and more powerful weapons.”
- “The game glitches and just quits, returning my phone to its home screen.”
grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and time-consuming, with many suggesting improvements such as more map variety, a farming system, and better upgrade options. While some appreciate the survival challenge it presents, others feel that the grind becomes tedious, especially at higher levels, and that the rewards do not justify the effort. Overall, the game is seen as fun but could benefit from enhancements to make grinding more enjoyable and less repetitive.
- “The big one that has 325 HP is not worth killing and drops the same exact loot. The game is way too grindy; everything breaks way too easily, and why is everything able to chase you from across the map?”
- “Your game is fun; I like the explosive zombies when they explode, they take others with them, and I like the other features in the game, but it's too grindy when I reach level 11. It's not a bad thing, but 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.”
- “This is a pretty good game, but it is extraordinary with the amount of grinding it has.”

- “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.”
- “Now I give this a 3-star rating because the FPS is low on low-end devices, and this needs more optimization.”
