    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as both fun and addictive, featuring a variety of weapon mods and synergies that enhance the experience, especially in co-op mode. However, many players find it becomes repetitive after the initial playthrough, with some mechanics, like the slot machine for unlocking content, criticized for making gameplay feel less engaging. Overall, while the core mechanics are solid and enjoyable, the lack of updates and the grindy nature of the game can detract from long-term enjoyment.

    • “Co-op gameplay was the draw card for me.”
    • “I love the weapon mods and variety and find the gameplay fun and relaxing.”
    • “The gameplay is excellent, with 4 complete game modes and online gameplay (I'm making this review while we're on update 12, so the online gameplay is still bugged, but I am sure that they'll fix it very soon).”
    • “It's a 2D shooter capped at 30 fps that hasn't been updated in an eternity with broken multiplayer, repetitive gameplay, and uninteresting bosses.”
    • “I didn't like the slot machine mechanic that basically allowed you to unlock every aspect in the game with a few mindless clicks, essentially making playing the actual game pointless (broken easy pattern that basically won you every spin).”
    • “As some reviewers mentioned, the gameplay is repetitive and banal.”
  • graphics
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game feature a charming pixel art style that some players find adorable, enhancing the overall arcade experience. While the visuals are simple and occasionally criticized for being crude, they effectively support the gameplay, and the locked 60 fps is seen as a positive aspect. Overall, players appreciate the theme and artwork, though there is a desire for crisper graphics and additional content.

    • “I love the theme and the artwork as well!”
    • “Don't let the simple pixelated art style put you off from what this game really has to offer, which is more than I expected.”
    • “The graphics are charming and the different modes of this game ensure that there's a variety of challenges to conquer.”
    • “Acid graphics and a crude UI make for a little pain.”
    • “Overall, there needs to be more content added, and everything needs to get crisper graphics-wise.”
    • “Imagine a pub or similar with some arcade machines that play a top-down shooter with low graphics.”
  • replayability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while many players appreciate the variety of gameplay modes and engaging weapon customization that enhance replay value, some feel that it diminishes after reaching certain power levels or setups. Games like Zombie Party are highlighted for their high replay value, especially with ongoing updates, while others note that the replayability can be limited depending on personal preferences and gameplay styles.

    • “This is a wonderful fast-paced shooter with superior replayability.”
    • “Zombie Party is one of those games that has a ton of replay value, and for $7.99, along with constant developer updates, this game is absolutely worth it.”
    • “The weapon customization was oddly engaging; once you realize it's there, it substantially adds to the replay value.”
    • “The replay value is very low, but that should not be a problem as long as you buy it on sale.”
    • “That severely limits replayability.”
    • “Pace depends on the gameplay mode chosen, and there are a few to choose from and lots of content for replayability.”
  • music
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while many players praise it as fantastic and fitting for the chaotic gameplay, some criticize the main menu theme for being short and repetitive. Overall, the soundtrack is described as cool and enjoyable, enhancing the indie game's fun and nostalgic vibe. However, technical issues like freezing at the launch screen have been noted, which can detract from the experience.

    • “Fantastic music.”
    • “The only game I've played where I used a rainbow launcher to kill demons in hell while awesome music was playing in the background.”
    • “It's indie, it's for fun, the music is cool, the gameplay is repetitive but amusing and it's a cool game to sit down for a bit and play!”
    • “The music, except for the main menu theme, sucks. My god, it's so short and loops constantly; it almost makes me not want to play the game.”
    • “Game keeps freezing at the launch screen, after about 30 seconds of music.”
    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing frequent freezes, particularly when reaching certain milestones like 5000 gold.

    • “Coded well and runs great for me!”
    • “I can't seem to get past 5000 gold before it freezes up.”
    • “As soon as I get to the game itself, the screen freezes but I still hear sounds of things happening.”

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It's a hilarious party game that provides a lot of fun when hanging out with friends.”
    • “Didn't understand why there are so many things that are not zombies, but I really don't care because it's funny as hell!”
    • “I bought the game because I thought it would be funny, but I was scared if it was going to be worth it and if this would be the kind of Steam game that you play for 2 hours and forget its existence.”
  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, as costs for upgrades and items are perceived as high, necessitating extensive farming. While some enjoy the repetitive nature of grinding to improve stats and progress, others find it tedious and frustrating, especially when technical issues lead to lost progress. Overall, opinions on grinding are polarized, with a clear divide between those who embrace it and those who dislike it.

    • “Everything costs too much in the game, so it's grindy.”
    • “Gameplay is grindy and has a 'must kill so many zombies, buy better stats to kill more zombies to be better stats to...' Some people love it, some loathe it; I'm in the love it camp.”
    • “All jokes aside, there is one huge problem I found playing this game: I got to the 'you will die' skill setting and was killing everything as normal, and then the game froze and crashed due to my spread/split/fire rate bomb machine gun. The game just could not keep up with the projectiles/damage numbers and crapped its pants, causing me to lose 2-3 hours of farming for gold and my high score!”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing that giving up can prevent personal growth. However, the adventure mode lacks depth, featuring a disjointed narrative that primarily involves random teleportation rather than a cohesive storyline.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “And now, story time.”
    • “- Adventure mode does not have a deep story, just randomly teleporting from place to place.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from occasional performance dips and inconsistent online play, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “On the downside, it has occasional dips in performance, and online play is a bit iffy.”
