a fun game. still has a lot of cheats to be fixed but the main problem is the same as with any game. the community is crappy. most people now just play private servers so on any given day theres only like 6 of the same exact people to play with everyday. the chinese kids just join and troll or try to sabotage your runs. ive only ever seen i think one usa server in the list ever. just feels like it started off as a dead game. theres noone good to play with. as for the gameplay itself. most of the structures available are 100% useless. ive read others complain about how flimsy the barricades are and they are right but it doesnt matter because currently the only 2 things you need to go to round 100+ on any map is laser walls and tesla towers. the teslas hit thru walls and upo and down floors so they are very overpowered and the laser walls are not overpowered but they do make all other structures pointless. the variant zombies in my opinion arent great. the exploder and grabber particularly are terrible. the only ways to stop exploder from ruining literally any structure it comes across is to either freeze it first or, kill it with the arc blaster or have it die on the laser wall. other than that it just dies by your walls and they all get aoe destroyed. very annoying at high levels. the grabbers are just a bag full of bugs. ive been grabbed thru walls and thru floors and ive been pulled pert near across entire maps by them. i feel like the game would just be better without those two especially since yall added that necromancer round that just grinds the level speed to a halt. i wanst a big fan of the new necro mini boss as it just makes a low difficulty but high time consuming round. which is the opposite of what you want in a strategy round farming game like zombies. theres still a ton of cheats in the boss realm also., such as standing behind the ammo box for a pile up glitch. i hope that gets patched out soon as its annoying to play with people that just sit and hide in those spots all game instead of playing. also in the boss realm there are many many spots where you can just stand on the edge of the map and the zombies pile up. cemetary is also bugged where the crypts for the teacher lady(read on the tombstone wall) are hollow and you can just walk into them and be mostly invincible with pile up glitches. these glitches ruin the fun and i just end up cointantly find people who would rather try to show off that they know the glitch then to actually play the game. guns are mostly useless in game also. aside from the rpg and frost gun none of the other guns serve any purpose past like round 70. once you put up 5 or 6 laser walls and a few teslas you can just afk till round 100 just repairing every round. cod zombies was an amazing game and i see youve pulled inspiration from it and i love that. one spot i really wish youde also pull from cod is that when you pack a punch a gun. i was supremely dissappointed that the guns didnt make better lasery pew pew sounds like in cod. please for the love of gun make the pack a punched guns have coolers more tech-like warbles and pew pews when they are packed., even if you just do the minigun or the special pistols first (frost, zap, arc) i was very sad first time i packed a gun and it sounded the same. or maybe just add some fanatsy weapons like star wars laser rifles or something neat. becasue currently any gun that fires a bullet is completely useless at any stage in the game.

Graphics

- Graphics aren't the best, but if you're like me, and couldn't care less for graphics, you'll love it, i personally could play a game with the graphics of doom 2 and i'd love it, as long as the content is great.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
There is also some optimization work that needs to be done. in the later waves, my pc (NIV4800 32 gigs of RAM) is “a beefy boy,” and sometimes, I'd have some pretty extreme frame drops.
