The graphics of the game received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing them as low-quality or reminiscent of outdated designs, often describing them as "potato" graphics. However, some players found the visuals acceptable for a low-priced game, noting that while not impressive, they were decent enough to enjoy the gameplay. Overall, the graphics seem to be a significant drawback for many, overshadowing the fun aspects of the game.
“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, the best graphics I've ever seen in any game.”
“There's aliens, ridiculous amounts of guns, amazing graphics, and great AI.”
“The graphics are '3D' and the gameplay and story are boring.”
“This game was trash, dude. The only good thing is that it gives you 100 achievements in the first 10 seconds, but otherwise, it 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 gameplay has received mixed to negative reviews, with many users describing it as basic, lackluster, and primarily designed for achievement hunting rather than engaging gameplay. While some appreciate the humor and weapon variety, others criticize the simplicity and lack of depth, noting that achievements can be unlocked in a very short time. Overall, the consensus suggests that the game is not worth purchasing for its gameplay experience alone.
“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 stuff is possible, and the added multiplayer mode would complement that style of gameplay more, as one person could focus on killing while the other person builds.”
“Honestly, just really lackluster, basic gameplay that isn't really all that entertaining.”
“If you're buying it for the gameplay, don't bother.”
“Whoever made this game spent more time making the achievements than the gameplay.”

The story in the game is generally perceived as lackluster and clichéd, with many reviewers noting its repetitiveness and disconnection from gameplay.

Despite a few positive remarks about its emotional impact, the story is often described as boring and poorly integrated into the game.
“The story is so very moving and complex.”
“The campaigns in each of these at least attempt to be interesting, with some storytelling and images before each chapter.”
“The narrative tries to tell a somewhat compelling story; I almost want to keep playing just for that.”
“The graphics are '3D' and the gameplay and story are boring.”
“The 'story' seems to have nothing to do with where you are actually fighting.”
“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 music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising the heavy metal soundtrack as a fitting backdrop for zombie-killing, while others find it annoying or of poor quality. Many appreciate the option to change the music or turn it off entirely, and there are calls for a soundtrack release due to its appeal. Overall, the music enhances the chaotic gameplay for some, but detracts from the experience for others.
“A great array of weapons unlockable very early in the game, great metal music, and a never-ending wave of zombies to shoot at.”
“When I started this game and first heard the extremely loud, heavy metal music I just knew this game was going to be great.”
“Music don't get me started, the music is so nice that I want him to release a soundtrack for it.”
“Music is obviously copyrighted and the dev doesn't even try to hide it; servers are filled with trashy kids running around with miniguns and PKMs.”
“The music can go f*** itself, and goals are poorly defined if existent at all.”
“- music is horrible”
