Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
The most frequently cited complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, which pop up constantly, interrupt gameplay, and make the game unenjoyable for many users. Some users report being forced to watch multiple ads consecutively.R2R4R5R6
Ineffective No-Ads Purchase negative
Players who paid money (e.g., $3) for a 'no ads' option report that ads still appear, leading to frustration and a feeling of being scammed. This directly contradicts the expectation of such a purchase.R13R19
Bugs and Glitches negative
Various bugs are reported, including issues with cars not appearing after purchase, tanks not showing up unless paid for, audio problems after ads, and aggressive, unprovoked AI characters. The developer's notes mention 'fixed bugs', but recent reviews indicate these issues persist.R9R26R35R23
Gameplay Enjoyment mixed
Despite the issues, many users find the core gameplay fun and comparable to other popular open-world titles like GTA or 'Dude Theft Wars'. Some appreciate the graphics and overall experience, suggesting potential if the issues were resolved.R3R8R14R17
Progression Difficulty negative
Free-to-play players struggle to earn enough in-game currency ('meme coins') to progress, with job rewards decreasing over time. This makes acquiring houses or other items challenging without spending real money.R16R53R55

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy open-world sandbox games with pixelated graphics, similar to 'Dude Theft Wars' or early GTA titles, and are willing to tolerate a high volume of ads or use methods like airplane mode to avoid them R3R44. It is not for players who dislike frequent interruptions from ads, expect in-app purchases to function as advertised, or are easily frustrated by glitches and poor controls R2R13R19.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to the ad situation and purchase issues, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a recent decline in user experience or an increase in ad frequency. While many positive reviews exist, they often don't address the specific issues raised in the recent negative feedback.

  1. [R14] 5/5 · US If I could rate it 10 stars, I would.: (edited again) Basically, this game is way better than Stunt and Tricks Racing by Payge LDT. With players, zombie gun, military base, this game is honestly really fun and good. This game deserves a 5 star rating.
  2. [R44] 5/5 · CA This game is very good: It looks like GTA free, but the controls are better
  3. [R3] 4/5 · US Idk: This reminds me of dude theft wars but yeah it’s good 5 stars for yall I guess

  7. [R1] 5/5 · US Upcoming chapter!!: Here is a spoiler alert for people who are about to finish the game. In the ending, there’s a cut where people were celebrating but when you watch the ending you could see that the villain was still alive!! This is proof that they’re making a chapter 2, maybe and I bet it’s gonna be so cool and better than last time!!!
  8. [R2] 1/5 · US TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! WISH ZERO STARS WAS A OPTION: Do you want a game with a million pop ups. do you want a game where “your companion” DOSNT DO ANYTHING HELPFUL but kill you the controls are trash the forced ads to get weapons or cars is outrageous and spending 5 dollars on this stupid game per weapon/vehicles is absolutely outrageous for a game that seems like it was built by a 5 years old do bett
  9. [R5] 2/5 · US Attatk: Its cringe and has to many adds
  10. [R6] 2/5 · US It’s mid: It’s a good game but it’s very cringe and to many adds and it low-key just sucks .
  11. [R13] 1/5 · US Stop: U wasted 3$ on no ads and the only change is the things on top is gone, make it so that if you accidentally crash into a ad thing mane a warning. Or give my money back because this is unfair and that was my allowance wasted.

  13. [R9] 3/5 · US The car system: Over the time that I have played this game I have spent 25k in game dollars but I have never gotten the cars
  14. [R26] 3/5 · US They need to fix this if I want the tank, I have to pay for it: OK, first off I’m not giving this a stars until they fix this stupid glitch when I get caught by the cops, the tank is not showing up and the one on the way to get the tank is to pay for it. I’m not paying for it. So I suggest you fix the glitch. I love the tank please please please please please please please fix this
  15. [R35] 2/5 · US Glitchy: Would give better rating if it wasn’t so glitchy. When an ad plays, it loses audio.
  16. [R23] 2/5 · US I’m being followed…: These random people keep chasing me and sometimes attacking me. I had a random guy just come up to me and punch me and I died. Please fix this and don’t just hit me with your “we appreciate your rating” garbage. It’s just a fake sugarcoat for the fact that you don’t even pay attention to the reviews. If anybody is reading this do not stare at the guys in samurai hats and red s
  17. [R16] 4/5 · US Just why: So when you do a job like taxi or police and you get memes coins why does every time you do a job you get less meme coin but the rest of the game is nice
