The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with some users experiencing significant performance issues, such as low frame rates, despite having capable hardware.

- “Getting all the achievements adds a lot of variety and challenge to your game, and the developer works hard to keep the game updated and bug-free.”
- “When I first launched Versus Squad, I was dismayed to find the FPS stuck at 22 on my high-end gaming rig. Concerned it was my computer, I quickly launched a few other games and discovered they ran fine. I ran through the usual troubleshooting steps and had no success. I decided to throw a message to the forums and see what came of it. To my surprise, not three hours later, I received a response from Snowbrigade. After a small exchange, they added me to assist further. We worked through a couple of different potential fixes to no avail. Snowbrigade went above and beyond by contacting a few friends and working tirelessly to fix this issue. A little while later, I received a message from Snowbrigade telling me that they updated the game and to check if that fixed it. And lo and behold, 385 FPS in the menu, 280 in-game; it's a miracle. The issue was something related to XInput and has now been fixed.”
- “Really buggy.”
- “The UI is counter-intuitive and buggy.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, with clunky controls and labor-intensive mechanics that detract from the experience. The increasing enemy health and reduced frequency of power-up drops contribute to a frustrating grind, while the lack of turret drops and the need for constant management of resources further exacerbate the issue. Overall, the grind feels laborious and detracts from enjoyment.
- “I couldn't bring myself to spend much time with this game due to the clunky controls and tedious, labor-intensive work required to put items on the field.”
- “Enemy health pools get tediously large much too early, power-ups seem to drop less frequently even with the luck perk, and everything is reskinned to be much more 'serious': the turbines have been turned into flares, the ghosts into little robot drones, etc. Turret drops don't appear to exist and the only turrets you can get require constant babysitting at the expense of a very paltry cash flow.”
- “Some extremely grindy (and/or extremely high skill ceiling, I guess you could say in some cases) perks.”

The game offers significant replayability through its engaging zombie wave shooter mechanics, enhanced by base building and defensive elements. Players can enjoy varied experiences with global high score leaderboards, persistent progression, and the randomness of perk selection, encouraging different builds and playstyles with each session.
- “It's a top-shelf zombie wave shooter, simple, effective, and with added base building and defensive elements that really add an amazing amount of replayability to an already addictive formula.”
- “Each time you level up, you'd get to select from a handful of random perks. Because it's random, you'd usually go with a different build each time, which added great replayability and changed your style of play depending on the perks.”
- “The replayability comes from global high score leaderboards and persistent player progression in the form of ranks.”
- “After completing the game once, there’s little incentive to go back; the story doesn’t change and the gameplay feels repetitive.”
- “While the game offers multiple modes, they all feel too similar, making it hard to stay engaged for a second playthrough.”
