The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with players appreciating the narrative but expressing frustration over the limited content and server issues. Many feel that the transition to a more colorful storyline in the latest installment diverges from the darker themes of earlier games, and there are calls for more missions and regions to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, technical problems, such as freezing after missions and difficulties in accessing new content, have hindered players' ability to fully engage with the story.
- “It's a great game if you enjoy a good story, zombies, and guns.”
- “This game is so much better than SAS 4; it has the heart of the original game I grew up playing. Yet, you shut the servers down for a cheap storyline that no one wanted. The fourth game doesn't even have an endless mode, so please bring back SAS 3.”
- “Great game, very addictive. There are plenty of perks to choose from and different missions to play.”
- “Games great, sucks that the 4th was a flop in my opinion since they made it more of a story game than a wave survival.”
- “Really great game, shame that Ninja Kiwi shut down the servers preventing new players like me from progressing into the story of this SAS Zombie Assault game. It was a really great game series until Ninja Kiwi turned it from the dark zombie survival vibes to a colorful, almost bright future story game called SAS4, which goes way away from all 3 of the previous SAS games.”
- “Used to be great, but at this point just broken beyond playability. I have to close and reopen the app every time I finish a mission, which is a massive hassle.”

- “I'm giving 5 stars, but the game has a bug where it kicks you off the game and won't let you download new maps. Please fix this because I really love this game, and it would be a shame to delete it. I never bought the premium stuff because I like the level grind, and once you get to max level, it's an even better game. It is easy to play and master, so please, devs, fix this bug. I really don't want to uninstall this amazing game because of a silly bug that stumps the gameplay.”
