  • The humor and quirky storyline add charm, making it enjoyable for casual play.
  • The graphics and overall design are appealing, providing a visually engaging experience.
  • The game suffers from bugs and crashes, particularly at launch, affecting the overall experience.

  • story

    117 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    15% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its quirky and campy nature, while others find it simplistic and lacking depth. Many critiques highlight repetitive quest design, including numerous fetch and escort missions, which detract from the overall narrative experience. Additionally, technical issues and bugs have been noted, impacting the flow of the story and player engagement.

    • “The engaging story keeps you wanting more.”
    • “I liked the story - it wasn't deep, but it was the right amount of campy for a zombie base building, tower defending, quest giving RPG.”
    • “The story was quite captivating and very easy to follow; I also love that it doesn't take itself too seriously.”
    • “The game is full of these tiny things that irritate you in the worst kind of way. The animations of the cut scenes are just horrible, and I hate that I cannot fast forward the dialog. If you choose to watch the cut scene, sometimes the characters stop talking for a few seconds, then they continue, but you don't fully know if the dialog is over, so you end up skipping half of the dialog scenes. The story is just plain simple, there is no meat and no real interest to find out about it other than to continue with the same missions, which all seem to be the exact same with minor variations.”
    • “Finished the story mode, and boy oh boy... the story quests are quite short, what a bummer.”
    • “The entire game is literally just fetch quests which are so far away from each other; why even bother playing the game?”

  • gameplay

    92 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    35% positive mentions, 49% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    The gameplay of the game presents a solid foundation with enjoyable elements like shooting zombies and skill upgrades, but it suffers from repetitive mechanics and a lack of depth, leading to a quick sense of boredom for many players. While some appreciate the initial excitement and unique features like zombot control, others find the overall experience hindered by frustrating combat and basic mechanics that fail to evolve. Despite its potential, the game currently offers limited hours of engaging content, often falling short of expectations.

    • “Like I said before, while the core gameplay is nothing special, it is a solid foundation and plainly shooting zombies, upgrading your skills, and getting new stuff is fun and enjoyable.”
    • “The intricate design and compelling gameplay mechanics are sure to captivate your attention and immerse you in a world where every decision counts.”
    • “This game seamlessly weaves together elements of cooperative gameplay and strategic survival, mirroring the thrilling dynamics and engaging mechanics that characterize those earlier experiences.”
    • “This game has a solid foundation that is unfortunately hindered by many bad and annoying gameplay decisions.”
    • “However, most of those mechanics are short-sighted and lacking the depth needed to make them fully enjoyable.”
    • “Weapon progression is terrible; the weapons themselves provide almost no unique gameplay, just higher DPS, but every weapon is level locked.”

  • humor

    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it ridiculous and entertaining, particularly in its unique zombie survival concept and comedic elements reminiscent of Borderlands. However, some reviewers noted that the humor can lose its charm over time, especially as the gameplay progresses and interactions with characters become less engaging. Overall, while the game offers a fun and humorous experience, its comedic appeal may diminish as players advance.

    • “This game is hilarious and fun!”
    • “The humor is on point, the base building isn't extensive, but it serves the purpose it is there for very well.”
    • “It's got humor and heart, and the gameplay itself is engaging if you're already in it for the feel goods.”

  • graphics

    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    35% positive mentions, 56% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the stunning visuals and immersive gameplay, particularly in "Welcome to Paradize," while others criticize the overall aesthetic as uninspired and reminiscent of older consoles. Issues such as blurriness, rendering problems, and screen tearing detract from the experience for some users, despite the game running well on higher-end hardware. Overall, while there are commendable aspects, many feel the graphics do not fully elevate the gameplay.

    • “With stunning graphics, immersive gameplay, and a vast open world to explore, Welcome to Paradize offers an unparalleled gaming experience that is sure to captivate players of all ages.”
    • “One of the most striking features of Welcome to Paradize is its stunning graphics and immersive gameplay.”
    • “Graphics are well made.”
    • “Graphics of a PS1 on a 4070, skill tree doesn't benefit or interact with any other branches in the tree, very few zombie variants, less than mediocre base building capabilities, no survival aspect of the game at all.”
    • “Themes are as bare bones as possible; forest, city, desert, swamp, snowy mountains are all filled with uninspiring visuals and forgettable expanses of nothing. Landmarks include toppled cars and gravesites with no background information, while caves are absolutely devoid of anything meaningful and stretch on painfully. The worst is the final volcano zone that, at best, has an Among Us reference at the entrance.”
    • “The graphics are somehow blurry around the edges of the character, especially when you are moving (so you must turn off FSR), but even turning that off, you can still see some blurriness here and there.”

  • music

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its engaging combat tracks and relaxing home base tunes, while others criticize it as terrible and express frustration over audio settings not being saved. Overall, the music is appreciated by many for its style and thematic fit, particularly in zombie contexts, but there are notable dissenting opinions.

    • “The music during combat is so great.”
    • “The music changes in different zones, and the music at the home base is so chill.”
    • “I don't say this much about some games, but the music is good.”
    • “The only things I didn't care for were the cheap cutscenes/voice acting and the music (devs, please allow my audio settings to be saved whenever I quit the game, thanks).”
    • “Music: 1/5 *terrible :(”
    • “-omg, the music!”

Others, however, experienced a smooth gameplay experience during early access, encountering no glitches or crashes. Additionally, changing screen size or minimizing the window can lead to freezing issues.

    • “Second half feels very buggy and untested.”
    • “If you change screen size or tab window, minimize or maximize window, the game freezes.”
    • “Was really buggy at the power plant part where your zombies fall through the map.”
