The game's story is generally perceived as simplistic and lacking depth, primarily serving as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a focal point. While some players appreciate the straightforward narrative of surviving a zombie apocalypse, others criticize it for being dull and unengaging, with cutscenes that cannot be skipped. Overall, the story is seen as a minor aspect of the experience, overshadowed by repetitive gameplay and mission structures.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“A great relaxing shooter with cute graphics, sick bosses, and a nice story.”
“This is basically a game on rails with a ridiculous story; hilariously, the player cannot skip the story once you have started, you must wait for cutscenes to finish in order to play.”
“I like the idea, but there isn't a lot to do; it lacks gameplay and any real story.”
“The story is obviously about a zombie apocalypse in 2020, and you have to kill all zombies to win the war.”

The gameplay is primarily "on-rails," limiting player mobility but contributing to its charm, with a mix of fun and addictive mechanics reminiscent of mobile games. While online features are no longer functional, the game offers engaging offline experiences with varied gameplay elements like sniper levels and bosses, despite some criticism regarding reused mechanics. Overall, it provides a simple yet enjoyable shooting experience with responsive controls and a solid progression system.
“Every few levels it mixes things up with alternate gameplay such as sniper levels or bosses.”
“Fun, very responsive little on-rails shooter with a good progression system and some actual gunplay mechanics.”
“The gameplay is what we in the business call 'on-rails,' which means you're about as mobile as my nan after Christmas dinner, but that's part of the charm.”
“Don't waste your $2 (USD) on this as it is just reused mechanics for the offline and there is almost no one to even bother playing with online.”
“Clearly a port of a mobile game (some scenes still tell you to tap lol), but that is not a bad thing; it's a brainless but very fun and addicting game, and the mouse/keyboard controls enhance the gameplay.”

Players recommend playing the game on PC rather than mobile due to the absence of ads and a more reasonable pricing structure. On mobile, users face frequent ads and higher costs for ad removal, making the PC version a more appealing option for those concerned about monetization.
“I recommend playing it here and not on mobile because here you will see no ads, but on mobile you will see ads. If you buy the no ads option there, it will be a lot more expensive than 2.39 euros.”
“The price is very reasonable here, and there's no ads or store.”
