The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with users reporting severe performance issues such as constant micro stuttering, low frame rates, and long loading times, even on high-end PCs. While some players acknowledge ongoing efforts from developers to improve performance, the current state is deemed unacceptable and significantly detracts from the overall experience.

- “Update: the dev continues working and is adding features as well as performance updates.”
- “They really made this game well; I enjoyed the zombies, but it needs optimization for graphics as it runs at 20 fps on my GTX 950m. If they optimize this game, it will be better.”

- “Even with premade assets, the developer made an unoptimized piece of crap that can't even run on high-end PCs with i9 and RTX 30 series GPUs.”
