The game's stability is criticized for being buggy and unpolished, particularly regarding the stat tracking for achievements, which can lead to frustration as players may need to kill around 3200 zombies for proper tracking. Overall, users find the experience to be rough and lacking in reliability.
- “Achievement hunters note that stat tracking for the zombies killed achievements is still a bit buggy. While they'll eventually unlock, you're probably looking at having to kill around 3200 to do so.”
- “This game is horridly buggy, unpolished, and rough.”

The gameplay is criticized for being bland and repetitive, with shallow mechanics and locked controls that detract from the overall experience. While players can unlock different vehicles, this feature does little to enhance the lackluster gameplay.
- “Play well enough and you can unlock different vehicles to continue the bland, repetitive gameplay.”
- “Shallow gameplay and locked controls are sufficient to warn gamers away from this asset-flip tier bundle worsener.”
monetization

The monetization strategy of the game is viewed as exploitative, with a ~$9 price tag perceived as a cash grab by an amateur developer lacking the necessary skills. The game has also been quickly bundled with low-quality titles to maximize profit from its poor reception.
- “Unfortunately, the ~$9 USD price tag here makes this most certainly a cash grab, and the game was quickly dumped into cheap, nasty game bundles to extract as much money from a bad product as possible.”
- “I don't think this is necessarily a deliberate cash grab, but simply an attempt from an amateur developer to make a game without any of the necessary skill or talent to pull it off.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, noting that it quickly loses its appeal due to overly challenging achievements and time constraints that hinder progress. The gameplay is described as excessively grindy, with some likening it to a farming simulator rather than an engaging zombie experience.
- “Loses all fun after 10 minutes; your car weighs 1/8 that of the zombies. Grindy achievements, like in all Devdan games, make saving 8 survivors almost impossible because you barely have any time to get between areas and don't get enough time back.”
- “Vehicles have variety, but if there was a cropper, the game could be called 'Zombies Farming Simulator'!”

Players find the humor in the game largely stems from its quirky physics, such as zombies hilariously flying into the air upon impact. The combination of a large map and enjoyable driving mechanics adds to the overall comedic experience.
- “Looking at zombies flying up everywhere when you bump them is a funny part of the game!”
- “The physics are hilarious, the map is quite big, and the driving sensation is enjoyable.”
