- “All that work on graphics and zero effort into actual gameplay.”
- “Absolutely beautiful game, but the constant crashes are due to the heavy game and hard-to-run graphics on a low-end phone.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous players reporting frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes that significantly hinder gameplay. Common issues include save file corruption, freezing during key interactions, and various quest-related glitches that prevent progression. While many users acknowledge the game's potential and enjoyable aspects, the overwhelming presence of technical problems makes it frustrating to play, leading to calls for urgent updates and fixes.
- “Eagerly waiting for the complete story... great work, devs! Keep it up. No bugs, no glitches. The only problem is there are very few details about the next objectives.”
- “No glitches lately, very good.”
- “Would be a pretty nice gem of a game if it wasn't so catastrophically buggy.”
- “I have a beefy phone and still there are constant crashes, bugs, etc. It's sad too because the game at its core is very good; it's just beyond frustrating to play because of the issues.”
- “The game is very buggy which is sad because it has so much potential, it crashes periodically, and when the devs fix this I will happily play again.”

The gameplay of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its mechanics, art style, and immersive atmosphere. However, a significant number of reviews highlight persistent bugs, glitches, and issues with saving progress that detract from the overall experience. While the core gameplay is entertaining and has potential, the frequent technical problems and some poorly implemented mechanics hinder its enjoyment.
- “Overall, I really like the story, the game design, and mechanics.”
- “The mechanics are quite good and the gameplay is entertaining.”
- “This is an amazing game, awesome gameplay.”
- “The worst part is, all of my progress has been deleted, since you can actually continue the gameplay even though you don't save it. I became confident that everything's gonna be alright, but one day when I was ready to play, I was shocked to see that I can't click the continue button!”
- “Disappointed it was good when I started but as I advanced I got disappointed with the gameplay bugs, crashes, etc. I couldn't kill a wolf at one point; I kept stabbing it and nothing happened. There's a lot of problems you gotta fix; you can't play the game without any issues. I love the game a lot, but because of the bugs and crashes, I unfortunately am uninstalling it.”
- “I wanted to like this, but it's unplayable from the obscene amount of bugs, broken English, and complete hand-holding linear gameplay.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of forced ads that disrupt gameplay and progress. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game rewards, others find the implementation intrusive and poorly integrated, leading to bugs and a negative gaming experience. Additionally, players who paid for ad removal report still encountering ads, further exacerbating dissatisfaction with the monetization model.
- “Overall a great game, amazing for offline, but I only have one issue: I bought the 'no ads' option but I still get ads every now and then. Other than that, it's a great concept and gameplay.”
- “Good game, no ads, and it's very interesting.”
- “I would say it's a survival game, sort of realistic and fun, with no ads, which is cool.”
- “A decent game, I had played for a couple of months about a year ago, and it was a blast, but coming back I've noticed a larger amount of forced ads. Do we need to watch one every time we want to sleep?”
- “I love the concept of it and I was enjoying it, I just finished getting all the supplies out of the grocery store and went to leave out the door, then bam, forced ad and I lost all momentum and interest. Make the ads optional, like 'watch this ad to get this thing.' Don't do forced ads; it ruins games.”
- “I love the game but I paid to get the ads removed and I'm still getting them forced upon me. Expecting a fix or refund, but other than that, great game.”

The atmosphere of the game is widely praised, with many players highlighting its captivating post-apocalyptic setting, impressive graphics, and immersive details that enhance the overall experience. While the atmosphere is often described as engaging and reminiscent of other notable titles, some users noted that technical issues, such as bugs and glitches, detracted from their enjoyment. Overall, the game's atmosphere is considered one of its strongest aspects, contributing significantly to its appeal.
- “Nuclear Day is an impressive and engaging game with a captivating post-apocalyptic atmosphere.”
- “The atmosphere, story, and gameplay create the best part about the game.”
- “This game is awesome; I love the atmosphere, artwork, and the mechanics of this masterpiece!”
- “Come on devs, you all can do better than that considering the quality atmosphere. This game has potential, but it needs refining.”
- “Simply put, a game with love and passion put into it, and I respect the dev for that. I love the atmosphere and I'm glad it has a story, a reason to keep pushing. However, it is not perfect; there are a few things that I hope he considers, like better animation. I know he's using skeletons to make them, but they can be further improved. Also, the lack of sound effects does kill the immersion, as well as the absence of an options menu to configure the game.”
- “Love the survival challenges, graphics, sound effects, atmosphere, and gameplay of the game, but the problem is that the character speed is so slow even when running, and sometimes the movement lags. Additionally, the settings button is inaccessible, and in the shop menu, the ads don't load—maybe a bug or something.”
grinding
12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players consistently find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, citing slow character speed, repetitive missions, and a lack of guidance as major issues. Many reviewers express dissatisfaction with the time-consuming nature of resource gathering and the frequent need to backtrack, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, technical problems such as crashes further exacerbate the grind, leading some players to abandon the game altogether.
- “Waiting for up to five hours significantly slows progress and can make the game feel tedious and unfair, especially when trying to gather essential resources.”
- “The start was pretty nice, but the game feels tedious having to go back and forth over and over to collect items.”
- “The game was great overall but all the walking back and forth is a little tedious; I got the motor and wheelchair but now my objective is in another language sometimes and won't pop up at all at other times.”
optimization

The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while it runs smoothly on low-end devices, users with limited RAM, such as 2GB, experience frequent crashes during extended play sessions. There are calls for better optimization, particularly through graphics adjustments, to enhance performance for users with lower-spec devices. Overall, the game is well-received but has notable performance issues that need addressing.
- “Runs smoothly on low-end devices.”
- “Overall, the game is good and well-detailed, but I hope there will be optimization to help performance for users with 2GB RAM devices like mine.”
- “Inventory management and mechanics suck and drops performance.”
- “Overall the game is good and well detailed, but one slight issue is that whenever I play longer, the app keeps crashing on my Infinix Smart 5, which has 2GB RAM. I hope there will be optimization in this game by lowering the graphics or something better that helps the performance for 2GB RAM phone users like me, so I give it a 4-star rating on this one.”
- “0-10 that's my rate but the game performance is 5-10.”
replayability
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Reviewers criticize the game's replayability, citing a frustrating 12-hour time lock that hinders progress and diminishes enjoyment. Many feel that the lack of engaging gameplay and bugs further detract from the experience, leading to low ratings and a recommendation to avoid the game until significant improvements are made.
- “Time locking for 12 whole hours is absurd; it's a wallet drainer disguised as a game. Avoid unless bugs are patched and a significant change in gameplay is made. It has no replayability before you even finish the story. 2/5 stars.”
- “Once you complete the main story, there's little incentive to return. The lack of meaningful side quests and variety makes replaying feel like a chore.”
- “The game offers no new experiences on subsequent playthroughs, making it feel stale and uninviting after the first run.”

Users express a desire for improved music integration in the game, noting that background music could enhance the experience, especially during quiet moments. There are also complaints about music disappearing after certain actions, indicating a need for bug fixes related to audio continuity. Overall, while the game is well-received, the music issues detract from the overall enjoyment.
- “The music in the game creates an immersive atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.”
- “I love how the soundtrack complements the gameplay, making each moment feel more intense and engaging.”
- “The variety of music tracks keeps the game fresh and exciting, adding to the enjoyment of each level.”
- “The game could benefit from having background music, and when captions pop up, it would be helpful if the character said them out loud. The current silence is quite unnerving, which may be intentional, but it still feels lacking.”
- “There are significant issues with the game music disappearing after ad breaks, which disrupts the experience. I need help with this, as I'm stuck on the sensor part in Anthill. Please update the game to fix these problems.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it enjoyable and funny. However, some users have reported technical issues, such as glitches, that detract from the overall experience.

- “Really nice and funny game!”
