The gameplay is widely praised for its smooth mechanics, intuitive controls, and engaging physics, providing a nostalgic experience reminiscent of the original game. Players appreciate the beautiful graphics and well-designed levels, although some express a desire for additional features like crouching and more challenging gameplay. While the game is generally enjoyable, a few users noted issues with respawn mechanics and a lack of depth in the story, suggesting room for improvement in future updates.
- “It has smooth gameplay with easy to understand mechanics any child could learn, lacks nothing the original did and still has that dark cryptic atmosphere the original had.”
- “Gorgeous levels, engaging gameplay, addicting physics with a healthy dose of chaos - so glad this timeless classic hasn't yet been lost to time.”
- “The gameplay holds up even better than it did in the original and there's more options, enhancements, and little details all over the place that serve to make it even better.”
- “I loved the original game, but the re-boot in Google Play has some issues that need solving. For example, the 'after-death' green glow orb should not be searching for a respawn for that long. It's so annoying to die in this game. Next, there are bugs that happen when you click 'restart' the level, certain weapons I buy from the shop don't drop, and boxes have no loot. Another problem is the shooting mechanic; sometimes it takes too long to shoot enemies and shoots past zombies if they are in front of you.”
- “This game deserves 5 stars no matter what, but I can't go with 5 because of some really annoying reasons. The game itself is extremely well made, but the gameplay is very slow, which just makes it boring as hell. Waiting for elevators or dropping from elevators by mistake just takes forever, and that's the only reason I am frustrated. Some stages have these elevators that force players to stand still, and for some reason, they are very slow.”
- “Amazing game, but the respawn mechanics are annoying as hell. When I die somewhere random, it takes a long time just for it to respawn, and then it respawns me somewhere far away. Maybe add skipping the animation by tapping the screen.”
