The gameplay is heavily criticized for being cluttered with numerous mini-games and gambling mechanics that prioritize monetization over actual gameplay experience, leading to a lack of engaging content. Players note that the combat mechanics are poorly balanced and reminiscent of typical mobile games, where flashy advertisements do not translate into meaningful gameplay. Overall, the game is seen as lacking depth and quality, with more focus on ads and currency systems than on enjoyable mechanics.
- “Drawing parallels with other survival titles, State of Survival impresses with its engaging story and unique mechanics.”
- “Complex gameplay and love it.”
- “These mechanics are also essential to actually keep leveling up as you go, as (for example) one of your heroes for each generation released is only available from Ray's place.”
- “The screen is flooded with several 'mini-games' that are all just various forms of currency and gambling, and there's no way to get rid of it. I'd say there's about seven 'mini' menus alone dedicated to different types of game mechanics that exist solely to hook you into paying for more. There's honestly more adverts and mini-games on the screen than there is actual gameplay mechanics.”
- “They have a combat mechanic that sucks.”
- “Like there was no playtesting done and there is no balance to the gameplay.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players highlighting an overwhelming presence of ads and microtransactions that detract from the overall experience. While some in-game purchases are considered reasonably priced, many feel pressured to spend due to the game's design, which often feels exploitative and misleading, particularly with outdated promotional offers. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a major drawback, overshadowing the game's positive aspects.
- “There are a lot of reasonably priced in-game purchases to be made to help you advance within the game.”
- “Game is good but please remove these cheeky microtransactions.”
- “They've allowed themselves to become just another sh*tty mobile game that's filled with ads, microtransactions, and skimpy dressed women.”
- “No bad luck protection on gacha features; there are too many microtransactions.”
- “Nearly everything in the market store is slapped with a pay-to-win microtransaction label, packaged as optional monetized advertisements, yet peer pressure builds up over time to eventually succumb to the temptation to spend on a perpetual black hole - the gift that keeps on taking and never quite delivering the dopamine hit.”
