- The game is a fun and humorous take on the zombie shooter genre, providing a unique experience with its anime character.
- Easy to achieve 100% completion in a short amount of time, making it appealing for achievement hunters.
- The graphics and character design are decent for a low-budget game, and the free nudity DLC adds an extra layer of appeal.
- Gameplay is repetitive and lacks depth, with only one map and no real progression or story.
- Zombies are overly fast and can easily overwhelm players, making the game frustrating rather than enjoyable.
- The controls and mechanics are poorly implemented, leading to a clunky and unresponsive gaming experience.

“Honestly, the gameplay could use some work, and the main character 'the waifu' can jump a little too high.”
“The gameplay leaves much to be desired...”
“Gameplay is terrible, and I was over it 30 seconds in.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the impressive visual fidelity, fluid animations, and immersive environments, particularly highlighting features like ray-traced lighting.

Overall, the aesthetic appeal and art direction are appreciated, but there are notable inconsistencies in quality.
“Even though the graphics are already good, the devs are thinking of doing RTX, which is going to be awesome to see all the cute zombies in 4K.”
“These next-gen graphics allow you to really feel immersed in the world and give you full fright with the ray-traced lighting over the zombies as they charge full force at you.”
“The world is diverse and graphically a masterpiece; you actually feel that you are in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world.”
“I only played for a few minutes because of how bad the graphics looked.”
“Graphics: not great, poor animations, bland environment, and bad environment.”
“The player character model clashes aesthetically with the rest of the game, making it feel like she's the only non-store-bought asset in the game.”

“I wish not to spoil the story for the reader, I'll finish by saying you need to prepare yourself for an action-packed, emotional story that is replayable without any of that feeling of grinding.”
“Nge lies to its audience by constantly hinting at larger concepts and a grand design where it's only a thin smoke screen to draw in the gullible and unintelligent who then go into diatribes about how it's not about the story but the emotions as an excuse, as if these are mutually exclusive concepts.”
“It's like The Last of Us but stripped of all the plot and cutscenes so you don't have to listen to all of that crap.”
“Anyone who thinks the story is lazy, that the character writing is bad, that it completely ignores previous character development, that the game tries to manipulate your emotions in painfully obvious ways and is overall poorly constructed just don't understand art.”
