The gameplay is praised for its depth, featuring 20 different weapon types and mechanics like turrets and weapon rarity, which enhance the experience of battling zombies. However, this is somewhat undermined by technical issues related to the game engine, and players can quickly acquire powerful weapons, potentially diminishing long-term engagement.

“After 20 minutes of gameplay, you already have the best weapon in the game and plenty of ammo.”
“Good gameplay.”
“There's a welcome depth in the game mechanics, 20 different weapon types, turrets, even rarity for weapons to help you shoot those zombies... and this is all let down by a lazy technical implementation from the game engine side of things.”
