Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of appreciation and frustration; while the graphics and crafting system are praised, many users find the movement clunky and the overall gameplay lacking in engagement. Some express hope for future improvements, particularly in content and polish, drawing comparisons to established titles in the zombie genre like Project Zomboid and State of Decay.
“I fell for this game based on how it looked in the screenshots and gameplay videos.”
“I like the graphics, the crafting system, and most of the gameplay.”
“This game is a masterpiece for early access; there are so few games like this one, especially in isometric view. I have played all the zombie genre games like Project Zomboid, State of Decay 1 and 2, Dead Age, Dead State, Hard West, and Frozen State. For now, it's really playable but lacks content. I love crafting and building a base, and I hope in the next month or more the game becomes more polished, because for gameplay, State of Decay and Project Zomboid have the best gameplay I have ever experienced in the zombie genre.”
“Movement, even though with two options of gameplay, has you tripping over your fingers and keys frequently.”
“Text is hard to read and the gameplay just doesn't really interest me at this point.”
“Gameplay is clunky.”
