The gameplay is generally praised for its variety and engaging mechanics, but it suffers from several issues, including a buggy user interface, sensitive controls, and repetitive missions. Players have noted difficulties in unit management and movement, as well as limitations imposed by paid DLC for core mechanics. While many enjoy the overall experience, there are calls for improvements to enhance fluidity and reduce frustration.
“But anyway it is a good game and kind of cool that they use Google Maps to generate real cities for your gameplay.”
“Fantastic gameplay, voice acting, and gameplay are held back by the fiddly controls and poorly explained game modes.”
“Lots of variety and elements to the gameplay to keep you coming back for more.”
“Some missions are too close together on the map, making gameplay very fiddly.”
“The UI is quite buggy; some texts overlap each other, I couldn't even figure out how to delete teams, and after having an 'invalid team', I couldn't start the game, so I uninstalled. Also, the game mechanics are terribly made, and I sent the firefighters to the other side of the world by accident, and took the cops off an important case and had to make them go back.”
“Gameplay is repetitive.”

The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the absence of ads and the optional nature of in-app purchases, primarily for expansion packs. While some users find the expansion packs to be reasonably priced, others consider them a bit expensive and express a desire for a more inclusive experience without additional costs. Overall, the game offers a fun experience without aggressive monetization tactics, though some players wish for better management of in-app purchases across devices.
“This game is a lot of fun; it doesn't get boring because of all of the cities that you can download, and they don't cost any money. The only in-game purchases are the expansion packs, and they aren't that expensive. The game is fun without them, but for the real-life and fun gaming experience, you should download all of the expansion packs if you would like to have the full experience.”
“Amazing game, probably the best mobile game I've ever played. There are no ads, and it's so fun.”
“Very interesting and addictive. The only gripe I have so far is that the game should record your in-app purchases for offline play, even if only for a week or so until it has to confirm online that it's still the same user.”
“Because that game has in-app purchases for extensions and the prices are a little bit expensive for me.”
“Overpriced, with in-app purchases regardless of the initial purchase.”
“Plz remove DLC and make it free... you can add in-app purchases for the money.”

The game suffers from poor optimization for mobile devices, with small buttons and maps that do not fit the screen, leading to a frustrating user experience. Additionally, issues with game mechanics, such as the shuffling of staff cards and inconsistent performance feedback, further detract from overall gameplay.

“The game is great but sometimes feels like it's not fully optimized for gameplay on the phone.”
“Mediocre game for the price but spot on at creating world tense events such as 911 dial calls and the atmosphere. However, I was a little disappointed at how the staff card is shuffled when I exit or play a new game since I already optimized it to determine who is the better driver or professional in a specific field.”
