The story of the game is criticized for lacking the charm and humor of the Zombieland movies, with a simplistic plot that involves traveling east and completing a limited number of short missions. Players express disappointment in the overall narrative experience, noting that the game feels rushed and offers little replay value, with frustrating escort missions and cramped level designs that hinder gameplay. Despite the inclusion of characters from the films, the story fails to engage, leaving players underwhelmed.
“The story is you're headed east and have pit stops along the way.”
“You can pick from the main quartet and there's side quests which unlock more characters, which include some from the sequel Double Tap, each with their own unique special ability.”
“Zombieland is genuinely a great comedy, and Double Tap, while not as good, had its moments. I was cautiously optimistic about the game's story, and even with low expectations, I still walked away incredibly disappointed.”
“- The story has none of the charm or humor of the movies.”
“First, the game is extremely short, with only 10 main missions that can probably be completed in around 3-4 hours.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable, characterized by simple and responsive controls typical of a twin-stick shooter, with a fun cooperative experience for up to four players. While it lacks complexity and depth, it delivers solid mechanics and decent shooting action, making it a satisfying choice for fans of the genre. Overall, it is considered better than some critics suggest, especially for casual play.
“Simple and responsive controls, zombieland vibes, and decent shooting gameplay with okay graphics.”
“All in all, the gameplay is kind of solid; at least for a twin-stick shooter, it acts how it should.”
“On the positive side, the mechanics of the game seem playable, and overall having 4-player couch co-op in today's online world is a nice touch, if not a simpler solution than online co-op.”
“This is not a genre that allows for complex or deep gameplay, so anyone expecting that would be disappointed.”
“As the gameplay goes, it's a basic twin-stick shooter.”
“Simple and responsible controls, zombieland vibes, and decent shooting/gameplay, but the graphics are just okay.”

The humor in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and lacking the charm of the Zombieland movies, while others appreciate the character dialogue and voice acting as genuinely funny. Critics note that certain jokes fall flat and the overall comedic execution does not meet expectations, especially for fans of the franchise. However, those who enjoy the humor may still find it entertaining, particularly if they are fans of the original films.
“Also, it has the actor likenesses and humor from the movie, if you're a fan of that.”
“If you're a fan of the Zombieland movies, you'll love this game; the dialogue between the characters is hilarious. Highly recommend this game!”
“The voice acting seems like the actual actors; some of the lines are good and funny.”
“The setting is meant to be fictional before the second movie, so don’t expect any well-known scenes you might remember. The intro dialogues are so cringe-worthy and unfunny; I can't really describe this.”
“The humor falls flat and feels forced, making it hard to enjoy the game.”
“I expected some clever jokes, but instead, I was met with tired clichés and unoriginal gags.”

The graphics are generally described as average and sometimes bland, with simplistic visuals and noticeable shortcomings in animations. While they serve their purpose within the gameplay, character customization is lacking, and some users noted issues like a floating walking animation. Overall, the graphics are functional but not particularly impressive.
“Simple and responsive controls, zombieland vibes, and decent shooting/gameplay; graphics and sounds serve their purpose, so in all those regards everything is fine.”
“The graphics are fine, character customization is non-existent at all.”
“It has simplistic graphics.”
“There are some graphic let-downs like the animations and the floating walk your character does.”

The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users expressing disappointment over the £30 price tag for content that lacks replay value and feels exploitative, especially given its connection to popular movies.
“It pains me to say this, but I wish I'd read the reviews. Luckily, I'm under 2 hours and can request a refund. The movies were spectacular and this bridges the gap between both movies (unofficially), but this is just a straight cash grab. To think £30 is a reasonable price for something that won't even be worth a replay is disappointing.”
“I kind of hoped we would have permanently moved away from movie cash grabs, but it seems they are still alive and well... even in a zombie apocalypse.”

Users note that the game features some side missions and a horde mode, but these elements lack significant replayability, making them less engaging for repeated playthroughs.
“The game offers a handful of superfluous side missions and a horde mode that don't provide much replayability.”
“Once you complete the main story, there's little incentive to dive back in, as the side content feels repetitive and uninspired.”
“After finishing the game, I found that there was no real reason to replay it, as the choices made had minimal impact on the outcome.”
