Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed-to-positive: players enjoy the free survival loop, but many feel it is thin, unfinished and unupdated since late 2023.

Many players enjoy the core loop of looting, crafting, base building and fighting zombies, and several say it is a relaxed, easy-to-pick-up survival game that is good for a free title. Vehicles, archery and the day and night cycle get mentioned as pleasant touches, and the music and atmosphere are praised by some. The criticism is strong, though. Many reviewers say the content runs out after a few hours, with few quests, limited base upgrades and no multiplayer. Others report clunky controls, crashes, lost save data, bugs and a large, empty map. Some describe the visuals as generic, and several say the game looks like a free asset pack. Many point out that there has been no update since December 2023. Recent reviews are more negative than Steam's overall rating suggests, with several refunds after changes to crafting in the paid version.

Praised

  • Looting and crafting loop

    Players enjoy scavenging, crafting and upgrading gear, and say the progression feels rewarding for the first hours.

    Many players
  • Relaxed, easy to pick up

    Reviewers describe it as a chill, easy-to-learn survival game that is good for passing time.

    Many players
  • Good for a free game

    Players say the quality is surprisingly good for something they did not pay for, and that it beats some paid titles.

    Some players
  • Music and atmosphere

    Reviewers single out the music and the mood of the zombie world as solid points.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Little content, runs out fast

    Players say there are few quests and limited progression, so the game feels empty after a few hours.

    Many players
  • No updates since 2023

    Reviewers note that the game has not been updated since late 2023 and worry it has been abandoned.

    Many players
  • Bugs, crashes and lost saves

    Players report crashes, failed loading, bugs and save data that disappeared, including across accounts or PCs.

    Some players
  • Generic look and clunky controls

    Reviewers find the graphics and animations generic, resembling a free asset pack, and the controls and interactions clumsy.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a free, relaxed zombie survival game with looting and crafting for a few hours, without expecting depth or regular updates.
Who should skip it
Players looking for a deep or long-lasting survival game, multiplayer, or a stable, regularly updated experience should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with a few hours tend to enjoy the early loop, while those with more time report running out of content and missing features.
