The story in the game is described as humorous and engaging, though some reviewers find it simplistic and reminiscent of a child's writing. While the campaign offers a fun progression system across 40 missions, players note that the missions can feel repetitive and lack the challenge found in the original board game. Overall, the narrative adds to the enjoyment, but there are concerns about bugs and the potential for diminished replay value once the campaign is completed.
- “I preferred this version over the actual Zombicide board game because of the progression system and story.”
- “The gameplay is easy and intuitive, the storyline is humorous and fun to follow - this app is a must for fans of the game!”
- “Like others, I would like to see expansion missions for this and/or possibly a hard mode for replays, but what you get is engaging and fun.”
- “If at least the story would be worth it, but the story feels like it was written by a 10-year-old.”
- “Every single mission is exactly the same... go here, fight a wave, clear a house, and escape... just like real life, they charge too much for a product.”
- “The game fails though in delivering the challenge of the board version where you sweat and think about each single move, particularly toward the end of the mission.”
