The gameplay has been widely criticized for its janky controls, lack of polish, and numerous bugs, leading to a clunky and unsatisfying experience. While the shooting mechanics can be enjoyable and the customization options are appreciated, the overall repetitive nature and poor handling detract significantly from the game's potential. Many players find it hard to recommend due to its serious gameplay flaws and lack of thorough testing.
- “I guess I could talk about the gameplay a bit: it's pretty much a shooter; it can be played in first or third person, and as you kill zombies, you rack up points and unlock weapons.”
- “It's not polished, but the main shooting gameplay is satisfying enough.”
- “What a concept! It was definitely different, giving you nice customizing options and gameplay options. I think I was more afraid to fall off the plane wings than to be eaten by zombies. The controls take a little time getting used to, but you'll get it quick. I would recommend it to anyone who loves zombie games; just make sure you have a decent graphics card.”
- “It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness, and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed.”
- “Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing.”
- “The gameplay is repetitive and it's full of bugs.”
