The gameplay of the game is criticized for being overly simplistic and repetitive, leading to a lack of engagement despite some mechanical effort. Players found the novelty of the core mechanics diminished quickly, and while controller support was noted, it did not significantly enhance the experience. Overall, the game is deemed not recommendable due to its tedious objectives and short playtime.
- “Mechanically, I can appreciate the effort that was put into this game.”
- “I played with the Steam controller and found the partial support a little frustrating at times (I switched back to keyboard for a couple of precision jumps), but overall it didn't really impact the gameplay.”
- “The novelty of the core gameplay mechanic wore off pretty quickly.”
- “However, the novelty is not worth the painful slog that is the gameplay.”
- “Overly simple gameplay, stock sound effects, and it took 46 minutes to beat, with most of the time spent just running around for stragglers.”
- “In summary, I can’t recommend Zombie Simulator; it’s a good concept that’s weighed down by overly simplified gameplay and repetitive objectives.”

Players found the story engaging, particularly enjoying an early mission with a Mad Max theme that drew them in. However, there was a noticeable decline in additional tasks during the latter part of the game, which some felt detracted from the overall narrative experience.
- “Becoming hooked after an early mission with a bit of a Mad Max theme.”
- “The game used additional tasks pretty consistently in the first half, but I don’t remember seeing any in the last six missions.”

replayability

The game suffers from a lack of replayability, as players find it unchallenging and unengaging once completed. Without additional modes, competition, or scoring systems, there is little incentive to revisit the game after finishing it, limiting its long-term appeal.
- “It lacks challenge, engagement, and fun - with no replayability, there’s little reason to pick it up.”
- “Once you beat the game, there’s nothing gained from it like a freeform mode to further the game’s value, and there’s no type of competition or scoring system implemented, so the game has no replayability unless you didn’t do those additional tasks.”
