The gameplay of this beer bar game is criticized for being monotonous and lacking depth, with a poorly executed keg mechanic and low-quality retro pixel art. Reviewers note that it feels like a low-effort RPG Maker title, offering little to engage players and no significant gameplay variations. Overall, it is described as boring and unoriginal, making it difficult to recommend.
“Mainly the keg mechanic.”
“Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
“This game is so boring because there are no gameplay changes and no gameplay at all.”
“It's a game you have to buy to understand; no gameplay is available on social platforms whatsoever, at least not from this specific beer bar game.”

The graphics in this RPG Maker game are criticized for their low quality, particularly in fullscreen mode, lacking full HD support and customization options, which is disappointing for modern PC gamers. Additionally, while players can earn cash to change the bar and barista's graphics for achievements, this feature does not significantly enhance the overall visual experience.
“As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
“While you do earn some cash for each customer you serve, their only use is to change the graphics of the bar and the barista (which unlocks the achievements).”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized due to a surge of suspicious reviews, likely from fake accounts, which appear shortly after launch and promote direct purchases. This pattern suggests a potential focus on exploiting players through asset flips and cash grabs, raising concerns about the game's integrity and value.
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with constant prompts to spend money on in-game purchases that don't enhance the experience.”
“It seems like the developers are more focused on making money than creating a balanced game, as the pay-to-win elements are overwhelming.”
“The game is riddled with microtransactions that detract from the overall enjoyment, making it feel like a cash grab rather than a genuine gaming experience.”
