The gameplay is generally easy to grasp, featuring a turn-based system with elements inspired by games like "Into the Breach," including knockbacks and resource management for acquiring characters and active cards. However, some players find it lacking in depth, with basic AI behavior and repetitive combat leading to a somewhat boring experience despite the appealing character design and mechanics. Overall, while the game has interesting ideas, it may feel bare and unengaging for some players.
- “The gameplay is very easy to understand and dynamic.”
- “The game features five core elements: 'characters,' 'AI elements known as zombies,' 'structures like water and walls,' 'base camps,' and 'active cards.' You can acquire characters and active cards using resources you gather during gameplay.”
- “It's a fun turn-based game with nice character design and game mechanics.”
- “The core gameplay is boring; nothing interesting happens as you play despite how many characters and objects you see on the grid.”
- “Characters and zombies just hit each other, and this is the main idea behind the gameplay.”
- “Like the gameplay is fine, even though right now it's a bit bare (and the basic AI is straight up lobotomized and attacked its own structures several times); the cards and aggression system are also interesting ideas.”

The story of the game is described as confusing, with unclear elements such as the significance of zombie penguins and the concept of a "lifeline." While the art style is considered cute and adequate, players express anticipation for the official release, particularly due to the promise of an expanded single-player story mode.
- “I'm excited for the official release, especially with the promise of an expanded story mode for single-player.”
- “I don't really get what the whole story is about or why there are zombie penguins or what the lifeline is supposed to be and why they hate it.”
- “The art's not the greatest thing ever put on a screen or anything, but it's a cute style and it more than does the job.”
