The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its excessive reliance on ads, with many players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the frequency and length of forced ads after each mission are seen as intrusive and detrimental to the overall experience. Overall, the game is viewed as being heavily monetized, often pushing players towards in-app purchases or ad-watching to progress, leading to frustration and, in some cases, uninstallation.
- “I absolutely love this game, I even purchased VIP and paid for no ads.”
- “Graphics are absolutely beautiful, great gameplay, and you don't have to spend a dime if you don't need to. In-app purchases are just a good way to support the creators, and they most certainly deserve the support because this game is absolutely gorgeous.”
- “In my opinion, all in-game purchases are a waste of money.”
- “You spend more time watching ads than you do playing the game.”
- “The game is set up to make you watch ads.”
- “You can't really advance in gameplay without a bunch of ads or purchasing items; it's basically pay to play or watch ads to play.”

The game's story is centered around completing 96 missions, but players frequently encounter a frustrating bottleneck where they cannot progress due to a lack of essential resources, specifically steel beams needed to build a base. Many users report that despite completing numerous salvage missions, the required materials are not rewarded, leading to repetitive gameplay and a sense of being soft-locked in the progression. While the game features enjoyable action and graphics, the lack of a coherent story progression due to resource scarcity significantly detracts from the overall experience.
- “The game is amazing along with the great graphics, gameplay, and story.”
- “Great game, full of action and great storyline.”
- “I love the action and storyline, graphics are great and the upgrading is easy.”
- “The game's story does not supply you with enough steel to complete this task, and the game will not allow you to proceed with the story without completing this task.”
- “You can't earn enough building materials throughout the missions to build the required base needed to move on to the next campaign/chapter.”
- “Everything has been tolerable up until I get to the 3rd map where I can't collect the steel parts in order to complete building the base; the salvage missions only give bricks, making completing the base impossible.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, characterized by its fun, casual nature and impressive graphics, making it enjoyable without becoming overly frustrating. While many players appreciate the variety of weapons and the balance between gameplay and ads, some express concerns about the frequency and length of ads, which can interrupt the experience. Overall, the game offers solid mechanics and rewarding gameplay, with optional ads that can enhance progression without being overly intrusive.
- “Gameplay is fun; it's casual, so you have to work at it, but it doesn't become frustrating, which is a good thing.”
- “This game has a good story, and the gun gameplay is pretty fun and really well done. If you're interested, it is definitely worth a try!”
- “There are a bazillion guns; it's not so difficult that it becomes pay-to-win. Most ads are optional and can be used to unlock worthwhile rewards for better guns/upgrades, etc. There's about a 5:1 ratio of gameplay to ads, which is far better than most Android freemium games.”
- “Gotta give it a star, the game is okay but after each mission, you have to wait, wait, and wait for ads to end... too many ads and less gameplay.”
- “A decent zombie shooter game, but the fact you can't advance past the second assault rifle, and the levels continually replay, detracts from the gameplay, and even swapping out the firearms doesn't help you advance.”
- “Unable to continue gameplay due to the requirement of 04 metal bars which we can never obtain.”
