The story mode of the game is generally viewed as the most enjoyable aspect, but it suffers from a lack of depth and a forgettable narrative presented through outdated comic panels. Players express frustration with gameplay mechanics, such as losing crafted weapons after missions and encountering bugs that disrupt the experience. While the crafting system is appreciated, many reviewers hope for more substantial story content and improvements in future updates to enhance replayability and overall enjoyment.
“There are like 3 game modes, but the best one was story mode.”
“The story mode had an actual story, which you can play alone or with friends, to include other modes that you can play alone or with friends.”
“I really hope that they will make a sequel to this game with a proper story mode, and preferably a horde mode more like COD, with unlockable areas, guns, barricades, a mystery box and that stuff, since it obviously works and is much more fun than just having one machine in the map which dispenses everything.”
“What's left is a forgettable story told through comic panels, which is such an outdated way of telling a story in VR that I had to double check when this game came out.”
“The story was really short and ended on a really unsatisfying note.”
“The story/horde modes are pretty poor, with zombies that feel like absolutely zero effort to fight or kill, and don't feel fun to play against either.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the creative crafting mechanics and engaging zombie combat, while others criticize the core mechanics as flawed and buggy, leading to a repetitive experience. Many users noted issues with specific gameplay elements, such as the revive mechanic and melee combat, which detracted from overall enjoyment. Despite its potential for fun, particularly in survival mode, the game struggles with execution and clarity in its mechanics, leaving some players feeling unfulfilled.
“The survival mode with the gameplay and mechanics this game offers could be insanely fun.”
“Great crafting mechanics and the game has a solid foundation to build upon.”
“This game is a literal playground for coming up with creative ways to kill zombies, and honestly I find that gameplay loop to be nearly perfect already.”
“But once you go deeper into the game's mechanics, they literally break halfway through a later mission where you have to climb ladders. Even reloading your guns won't work, which is ridiculous, especially when you're surrounded by a horde closing in on your position.”
“I wish I could recommend this game, but frankly, it's broken. Most disgraceful of all, the game has been out for an entire year and still mechanics in the game don't work.”
“Despite the amazing visuals, the game has lifeless AI, weird controls, and the crafting mechanic is difficult and annoying to use.”

The humor in the game is largely derived from its quirky bugs and the absurdity of its crafting and combat mechanics, which can lead to hilarious moments, especially in multiplayer. Players find joy in creating ridiculous traps and weapons, often leading to comical scenarios that are entertaining for short bursts. However, the humor may not sustain interest in solo play, as some users noted it can become repetitive and boring over time.
“I love the cool crafting system and even the funny recipes you can make.”
“Really funny with friends.”
“Humorously, I put a TV on a staircase with a piston trap; it only ran for a few seconds, but the image of a TV thrusting back and forth, slamming zombies into the wall across the room is just beyond hilarious to me.”

“Cool concept but it's a buggy mess, to say the least.”
“Man, is this game super disappointing... I was super excited for this game after seeing more than a few YouTube videos on it before release, and after playing for a little over an hour and a half, I realized this game honestly should have gotten delayed again for at least another few months. It's a buggy, laggy mess with dead/nonexistent multiplayer lobbies. It's really sad because when the game was working, it was pretty fun and exciting, but it's just riddled with bugs and super bad lag even on lower settings.”

“I loved this game dearly, but it's abandoned as far as I know, and it's extremely buggy. Not to mention, it's very poorly optimized too (but that might be because I have a bad setup). Either way, before the more recent updates, performance wasn't as bad.”
“The worst of all: poor optimization.”
