The game received universal acclaim according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. [3] Spanner Spencer of Pocket Gamer praised the game overall, but stated, "The focus on multiplayer means the single player game suffers from a frustrating and often insurmountable level of chaos." [1] Despite this, he added, "It's hard to criticise an action game for being too action-packed, particularly given its strong command of the genre." [1] GameSpot 's Andrew Podolsky was also very positive, stating, "The game has pretty much everything you'd want in an iDevice action game where you're fighting off an army of zombies." [4]
