The game suffers from significant stability issues, primarily freezing during key missions, such as rescuing a child from bandits and interacting with the sheriff. Players frequently report losing progress due to these freezes, which occur at critical dialogue points and after completing tasks. While the game has a solid concept and enjoyable content, the persistent glitches and crashes hinder the overall experience, leading many users to uninstall it in frustration.
- “The only bugs in here that still haven't been fixed are the part where you will be rescuing a kid against bandits and the game freezes itself. This is also the reason why I uninstalled the game after that.”
- “It's a cool game, but one problem is that it freezes mostly when rescuing the boy from bandits. Also, when I went to kill the troops to get the lab ID, I managed to kill two, but the guy who gave orders disappeared. He wasn't there. Please fix the freezing problems; it's what hinders most of us from completing the game.”
- “Great game, but many glitches and bugs. The game freezes when talking to the sheriff after saving the refuge team.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and immersive experience, with many players expressing addiction to the game. However, significant issues such as bugs, freezing, and unreliable attack systems detract from the overall experience, alongside requests for more content, improved mechanics, and better translations.

- “The in-game mechanics and plot are amazing; the game is better than a 3-person shooting game. Not gonna lie, maybe the best zombie game out there. It's compatible with my old devices ”

- “On the cons, when reaching the city, its gameplay is sticky and bugs like it exits automatically, especially when a mob is pasted to your character while running and all of a sudden it exits automatically.”
- “Very good game but freezing issues are always disrupting my gameplay.”
- “Storyline is fine, but gameplay is boring.”
