The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as low-fidelity and reminiscent of older titles like Half-Life 1. Players have reported issues with menu functionality and overall visual quality, indicating that the graphics detract from the gaming experience. Despite these criticisms, some users still find enjoyment in the gameplay itself.
- “I love this game; I could see the graphics way better. This game is fun!”
- “Yes, the graphics are a bit lo-fi and development seems to have stopped... but it is a fun game in the vein of old school Half-Life deathmatch.”
- “What it needs to improve on is its graphics for the most part; otherwise, this game has enough things to keep me busy for the next few days!”
- “The graphics don't help either; they remind me of Half-Life 1, and it's not even a tactical shooter because you can see anyone's health bar and name when you are anywhere near them, even through walls.”

Gameplay is characterized by enjoyable stalker elements, with maps filled with anomalies and occasional zombie and mutant waves, appealing to fans of the genre. However, the experience is marred by a lack of variety in player modes, particularly in beginner lobbies, and a consistently poor player base, leading to a perception of overall subpar gameplay. There is potential for improvement if the developers focus on enhancing the game's adherence to the beloved Stalker universe.
- “The execution of stalker elements is enjoyable, with the maps being littered with anomalies and TDM rounds occasionally featuring a random wave of zombies and mutants, some of which stalker fans will recognize. There are other gameplay modes and many maps, but in the noobie lobby, people seem to play mostly bunker.”
- “This game may have potential if they really work to stick to a universe and gameplay like the Stalker we know.”
- “The execution of stalker elements is enjoyable, with the maps being littered with anomalies and TDM rounds occasionally featuring a random wave of zombies and mutants. However, there are other gameplay modes and many maps, but in the noobie lobby, people seem to play mostly bunker.”
- “- Lame gameplay.”
- “I've joined a game a few months ago, and it's the same awful player base and poor gameplay.”

The monetization model of the game has been criticized as a cash grab, with players feeling that it demands an upfront payment of ten dollars despite offering alternatives that allow for free play. While the game features two in-game currencies for purchasing various items, it does not require real money transactions, distinguishing it from its browser counterparts that rely on microtransactions.
- “You have 2 currencies: bolts and gold, to buy weapons, ammunition, armor, items such as food/medkits, and bonuses. You don't need to use real currency to buy items in the game, contrary to the browser versions with microtransactions.”
- “This game seems to be little more than an attempt at a cash grab.”
- “If you like this kind of game, you can at least do better and find one that only has in-game purchases, but allows you to start playing without shelling out ten bucks on this piece of garbage.”
- “You have two currencies: bolts and gold, to buy weapons, ammunition, armor, items such as food/medkits, and bonuses. You don't need to use real currency to buy items in the game, contrary to the browser versions with microtransactions.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by its quirky elements, such as the amusing Lenin mask and the absurdity of gameplay scenarios, like sniping and chaotic grenade explosions. Players find themselves laughing at both the game's comedic visuals and the clever tactics employed by opponents, contributing to an unexpectedly engaging experience.
- “The main menu is intuitive, and after laughing for a bit about the Lenin mask you can equip, I wanted to try a short match. Only to see that when I eventually quit my session, I had clocked 3 hours into the game already! :D”
- “Sniping safely at blonde heads all the time and laughing when grenades are falling everywhere is a blast!”
- “The funny thing with these players is that they are quite smart; they camp your spawn and farm you.”

- “But this is not a clone of Stalker; there is no story, no different characters.”
- “These jobs are not in-game missions.”
- “You see a progression bar near the name of the mission: kill rats, escort scientists, etc., with a required amount of time.”

The game is currently fully playable but suffers from various glitches and bugs, which detract from the overall experience. While recent updates have introduced new weapon skins and improved balance, players still find the game lacking in excitement.
- “The time will tell if there will be more updates, but at the moment, it is fully playable with some glitches.”
- “Review update: they've added some new weapon skins and provided more balance to the second lobby; however, the game is still buggy and, most importantly, boring.”
