  • gameplay27 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that focus on creating chain reactions to defeat zombies, making it easy to learn and addictive. However, it suffers from repetitive elements, a reliance on luck, and issues with graphics and presentation, which detract from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the strategic aspects and comic-style storytelling, others find it lacking depth and overly simplistic.

    • “The gameplay consists of a rather simple point and click control mechanic, where the goal is to create chain reactions of violently dying zombies.”
    • “All in all, considering the game has trading cards, it's worth picking up for its addicting gameplay and relatively cheap price, especially if it's on sale.”
    • “Pro: addictive gameplay, easy to learn, only $5, mostly skill-based though some luck required.”
    • “Stupid grind with too many random mechanics.”
    • “On top of the gameplay issues, the game is all gray and the presentation of zombies has them clip on top of each other sometimes, leading to missing shots on certain zombie types which can mean you have to replay a level.”
    • “The main problem with it, aside from the poor amount of gameplay, is that it's an obvious tablet game not made for a desktop computer.”
  • graphics26 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing them as outdated, unappealing, and lacking charm, often comparing them unfavorably to older games. While some appreciate the simple and effective visuals that complement the gameplay, others feel that the aesthetic choices detract from the overall experience. Despite the graphical shortcomings, the gameplay is generally praised, suggesting that the game may still be enjoyable for those who prioritize mechanics over visuals.

    • “Good visuals and concept.”
    • “The game is a good strategy game with great gameplay and graphics.”
    • “Simple effective graphics and addictive and fun gameplay.”
    • “This game is currently not functional - the graphics just won't work, period.”
    • “I have seen Atari 2600 games that look more aesthetically pleasing than this one.”
    • “Since it's a PC port from a mobile platform, the on-screen menu system is a bit awkward, and the graphics look like they're from the pre-millennium era, which would have been forgivable as a stylistic choice, but most likely is a side effect of poor upscaling.”
  • story16 mentions

    The story of the game is presented through a comic book style, which some players find charming while others feel it detracts from engagement. While the storyline is considered plausible and somewhat interesting, many reviewers express a desire for deeper narrative development and criticize the repetitive nature of gameplay that overshadows the story. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop to the gameplay, but its execution leaves room for improvement.

    • “The game starts with a comic book style presentation that introduces the game, its story, characters, and the setting.”
    • “The comic strips explaining the story are lovely, with a very nice art style.”
    • “The story is not engaging; the 'comic book' pages popping up all the time makes me hate the fact it even has one.”
    • “There's no story, poor graphics, simple concept, but it pulls it off well.”
    • “Omg zombies has a nifty comic book style storytelling device, but the core gameplay mechanics are classic characteristics for a tablet game ported over to desktop.”
  • music6 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it relaxing initially but ultimately describing it as repetitive and mediocre. While it can be adjusted in volume, many feel it detracts from the overall experience rather than enhancing it.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “You can slide the music and sound volume.”
    • “The soundtrack: ★★☆☆☆ - meh, middling, better without.”
    • “The music is getting annoying and repetitive after a while.”
    • “As for music?”
  • grinding5 mentions

    Players express frustration with the excessive grinding required for upgrades, noting that it detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. Despite developer acknowledgment of the issue, no patches have been implemented to alleviate the tedium, leading many to recommend against the game, especially for those seeking achievements. A suggestion for improvement includes reducing the number of required prestiges and introducing variability to make the process less monotonous.

    • “The devs are aware that people don't like it, and have even agreed in threads on this topic that perhaps it's a little excessive, but they still haven't patched it to make it less tedious.”
    • “I still can't recommend the game unless you don't care about achievements; it's so incredibly tedious trying to get that last one that all possibility of fun is sucked out of the game.”
    • “All your effort and time spent on grinding for upgrades ends up heavily relying on luck to complete the game.”
  • replayability4 mentions

    The game offers significant replayability, with short and enjoyable levels that encourage players to achieve 100% completion across all 100 stages. Players can expect around 6 to 10 hours of gameplay as they revisit levels to unlock upgrades and aim for platinum rankings, making it a fun and engaging experience reminiscent of dominoes with zombies.

    • “The levels are short and fun, and there's a lot of replay value as you buy upgrades and try to reach the 100% zombies killed mark!”
    • “It's like dominoes with zombies; really fun, and getting platinum on all the levels makes it hugely replayable.”
    • “Replayability-wise, getting 100% on all 100 levels amounts to about 6-10 hours of playtime, including replaying some of the stages after getting all of the upgrades.”
    • “It's like dominoes with zombies; really fun, but getting platinum on all the levels makes it feel less replayable.”
  • humor4 mentions

    The humor in the game developed by Laughing Jackal Ltd is described as funny and fresh, contributing positively to the overall experience.
