Fun and simplistic gameplay reminiscent of Call of Duty: Zombies, making it enjoyable for fans of the genre.
Cute blocky and pixelated art style, along with a decent variety of guns and perks, adds to the overall charm of the game.
Good value for money, providing a solid amount of playtime and entertainment despite its simplicity.

Limited content with only three small maps and a lack of unique enemies or bosses, leading to a repetitive experience.
Gameplay mechanics can be frustrating, such as strange shooting controls and a lack of customization options.
The game feels abandoned with no updates or additional content, and some areas are too dark, making it difficult to navigate.
