The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users describing it as basic, lackluster, and primarily focused on achievement hunting rather than engaging mechanics. While some players appreciate the humor and weapon variety, others criticize the overall execution, noting that it feels simplistic and unpolished. Overall, the consensus suggests that the gameplay is not the main draw of the game, with many recommending it only for its low price and achievement opportunities.
“The gameplay is funny and nice, kind of different, but that makes it enjoyable, and the weapon variation is also pretty good.”
“10/10 worth every penny! I would recommend it if you like a good ranked experience with fast-paced shoot 'em up gameplay. A very large player base makes it easy to find matches quickly, and the enemy AI is amazing and innovative—without a doubt the best shooter since MW2.”
“Simple crafting is a great addition to the gameplay. Creating a little hut with stairs and other features is possible, and the added multiplayer mode would complement that style of gameplay, allowing one person to focus on killing while the other builds.”
“Honestly, just really lackluster, basic gameplay that isn't really all that entertaining.”
“Whoever made this game spent more time making the achievements than the gameplay.”
“If you're buying it for the gameplay, don't bother.”

Overall, the consensus leans towards the graphics being subpar, but not entirely detracting from the game's fun factor.
“For starters, this game is super immersive. I mean, the game sound combined with the exemplary graphics makes it feel like you are actually in the game.”
“The graphics are on point! I'm telling you guys, best graphics I've ever seen in any game.”
“The graphics are very good for a 5 dollar game... even for a much more expensive game.”
“The environments do not look good; they look outdated, sometimes resembling things that could be passable on the PS2. While I don't care about graphics personally, there just isn't much to talk about.”
“This game looks like it was made in the 80s with those terrible graphics.”
“Add to this some pretty poor in-game performance, ugly visuals, and zombies that often walk through solid objects.”

“The point of this game is to kill all the zombies and stay alive until the next round and try and keep up with the extremely dull storyline.”
“The story is boring and makes no sense at all.”

“When I started this game and first heard the extremely loud, heavy metal music I just knew this game was going to be great.”
