The monetization strategy of the game is heavily reliant on optional ads, which players can choose to watch for in-game currency and boosts. While many users appreciate the lack of forced ads and the ability to earn rewards through watching, there are significant complaints about the frequency of ads, their tendency to freeze or fail to deliver rewards, and the high cost of removing ads, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Overall, players express a mix of enjoyment and frustration regarding the monetization system, with some feeling it detracts from the overall experience.
“Wonderful game, though I paid 17€ to have no ads, all the paid 'characters', and 2000 gems - I knew that was the amount of money I would pay for this game if it was on the Switch, and I have not regretted my choice at all!”
“100% worth it to buy the no ads.”
“Good game to pass time here and there, just have to either run ads, buy the no ads, or be patient.”
“The monetization system is killing the experience.”
“You have to spend real money or you have to watch many ads.”
“The entire game is built around you needing to watch ads to make any reasonable increase in money for upgrades to make any progression.”

The gameplay is generally well-received for its management mechanics and detailed graphics, providing a rewarding experience despite some challenges. However, many users note that it lacks originality and could benefit from new mechanics to differentiate it from similar games. Additionally, the presence of frequent ads and slow progression detracts from the overall enjoyment, leading to mixed feelings about the game's pacing and monetization strategy.
“Absolutely love the management gameplay in this!”
“It is detailed in its graphics, stimulating in its gameplay, it is challenging at times and rewarding at others.”
“Many thanks to the devs for the well thought out gameplay.”
“And the gameplay isn't unique, so it's up to you to decide if you'll play.”
“Interesting concept, but it should never have had all the options from the beginning, and should have gradually built up the requirements so the players can get used to all the complex and very confusing mechanics.”
“Gameplay or progress at the beginning is way too slow and just made me realize it's not worth the time.”

Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the detailed and vibrant visuals that enhance gameplay.

Despite these criticisms, the general consensus leans towards the graphics being enjoyable and well-executed for the game's genre.
“Freaking love this game, no forced ads, only ads for rewards so you get to choose, the premise is fun, always like hospital games and treating zombies is a fun take, great visuals, fun progression, all around good game!”
“Now that the game works it is actually an amazing but hard game to play...cute graphics and so much to do kept me glued to the game, thanks to the devs for fixing problem and now my time is spent playing the game lol...excellent.”
“Really enjoy this game i've had no problems so far, graphics are great, mechanics are good, 5 star from me”

The story of the game is generally enjoyable and engaging, with players appreciating its addictive nature and unique zombie theme. However, many users report significant frustrations with mission bugs, particularly related to quest completion and the need for in-game purchases, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, some players feel that the game mechanics, such as requiring specific locations for missions, lead to excessive time spent without progress.
“Good game, enjoyable story as well.”
“Has mission every weekend which is fun and challenging.”
“Great game tbh but one thing I would change for the people that don't like spending money on games is the amount of time for the offline manager, make it more than 1 hour or do quests to earn minutes for the offline manager.”
“I would give 5 stars but I don't like how you changed the game so that I have to actually be in the specific hospital that I'm trying to finish my missions in... I end up spending way more time in the game than I used to and still can't get them completed 😩”
“I'd give 5 but I'm on the island now, and the quests aren't working.”
“First day playing already ran into an issue last quest for first area keeps restarting on its own, as well as 1 in 10 ads don't properly deliver the rewards promised.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent bugs and glitches leading to freezing issues that hinder gameplay. Many players report being unable to progress due to these technical problems, which include unresponsive screens and incomplete features. Overall, while the game shows potential, its current state is described as largely unplayable until these stability issues are addressed.
“Kind of buggy and the last location I am stuck because the first grant won't fulfill, so I'm having to be more careful and take longer to complete.”
“The game just freezes and no offline rewards are given at all.”
“Literally unplayable, installed the game and it glitches out my phone. The game seems like it'd be pretty fun, but until I get to play it, the rating stays at 2. Hopefully, a fix will be here soon as I do have a good expectation of the game.”

The music in the game receives mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the quality and detail of the soundtrack, others are frustrated by intrusive ads that disrupt their listening experience. Additionally, there are technical issues with the music not playing despite being enabled, which detracts from the overall enjoyment.
“Love the music, for one.”
“Really good detail and animations also, gotta love the song classic 👍”
“It would be 3 stars if the ads respected having the app sound off. I can't listen to my music or audiobooks while playing because most ads blast me with inescapable sound. There is also no organic way to increase your offline time; even if I had to watch 50 ads to get 15 minutes extra, it'd be okay, but even one extra hour is only achievable by paying.”

The humor in the game is characterized by amusing scenarios, such as zombies prioritizing their targets in absurd ways, and clever references with humorous names. Players find the idle gameplay entertaining and appreciate the lighthearted tone, describing the overall experience as cute and funny.
“As funny as it is seeing one zombie clear the entire compound to attack a paramedic, it confuses me a little that they'll run straight through a room full of helpless doctors and won't flinch.”
“Nice references with quite funny names, interesting idle gameplay, and getting money is not uber difficult.”
“Cute and funny.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat excessive but still enjoyable. They suggest quality-of-life improvements, such as a dedicated tab for tracking room upgrade levels, to alleviate the tedium of managing upgrades. Overall, there is a call for better implementation of grinding mechanics in future tycoon games.
“A bit too grindy but entertaining. Edit: since the developer replied, I'll give more detail.”
“Could use a quality of life change and have a tab that shows you the upgrade level of each room in your hospital so you can easily see if any rooms are missing upgrades without scrolling through all of them, which is fairly tedious.”
“If you're going to make another money-grinding tycoon game, then do it properly.”
