The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over forced and intrusive ads, particularly after races or levels, despite purchasing ad removal options. While some users appreciate the relatively low number of ads and the ability to earn rewards, others feel that the ad frequency increases after reviews and that the game becomes unplayable due to excessive waiting and ad interruptions. Overall, players suggest that the game could benefit from a more balanced approach to monetization, possibly by offering optional ad viewing for rewards rather than mandatory ads.

The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the fun and addictive nature of driving and shooting zombies, while others criticize it for being derivative and frustrating as vehicle control deteriorates over time. While the graphics and voice acting receive praise, issues with ads and a lack of multiplayer options detract from the overall experience for some users.
“Amazing gameplay, fun vehicles, classic art design.”
“Super addictive game, the graphics, the dialogues, the gameplay, everything makes it solid 5 stars, highly recommended!”
“This game has one of the smoothest gameplay experiences, and the voice actors make me laugh. This game is my style; keep up the good work! 😄😄”
“Although it seems fun, it is almost completely related to 'Earn to Die' gameplay-wise. You drive around, killing zombies by driving over them and shooting them, crashing through things in a car that can go left to right (or back and forward). I'd say the only difference is that this one is 3D and has less effort put into it; not only that, but it seems like a smaller game.”
“The gameplay actually gets worse as you progress, as vehicles get more frustrating to control and shoot with.”
“Full crash game only ads again and again; also, ads cannot be fast-forwarded, and the game mechanics are the worst.”

Players find the grinding in the game excessive and repetitive, suggesting that reducing the amount of grinding required per level while increasing the number of levels could enhance the experience. The uniformity of levels contributes to the frustration, making the grinding feel tedious and detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“I'd suggest reducing the necessary grinding per level and instead adding more levels.”
“Levels are completely the same every time, making grinding even more annoying.”
“It would be a great game if it weren't so grindy.”
