The gameplay is characterized by intense competition among players, involving stealing and being stolen from, with rewards for top performers at the end of each season. It features a fun and enjoyable core loop reminiscent of "Payday 2" and "The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot," enhanced by recent updates that improve graphics and safehouse security. While some players may encounter hackers, the overall experience is stable and offers adrenaline-pumping moments, though it may not provide extensive hours of play.
“You steal from other players, get stolen from, and compete in 'seasons.' The three players with the most cash at the end get a special weapon skin, the top 50 get a different skin, and those who stole the most total get the same skin as the top 3. This gets quite intense towards the end of each season and keeps the game fresh. The core gameplay loop is fun and enjoyable; overall, I would recommend it for the price.”
“Very refreshing gameplay that feels intense.”
“Hours of adrenaline-pumping gameplay.”
“Don't buy this if you're looking for hours and hours of gameplay.”
“Some hackers in the game with high amounts of money, but the gameplay is still solid.”
“Has the gameplay of 'Payday 2' (at least the stealth part) and the concept of 'The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot'.”

Players highlight that the game's replayability could be significantly enhanced by allowing more customization in room placement and safe house design, enabling them to create unique challenges for others. Additionally, the satisfaction of progressing from rags to riches contributes to the game's overall replay value, making it engaging for multiple playthroughs.
“This game has huge replayability and the sweet feeling of seeing your money go up from 0 to rich.”
“It would be amazing if I could pick some rooms and place them however I want, then buy some cameras and place them where I want. I could create the greatest safe house and test it out. If I can steal from it, I should be able to set it as my safe house for others to try to break into. This would add replayability and more variation to the game.”

“The lack of customization options really limits the replayability. I want to create unique experiences each time I play, but the game doesn't allow for that.”
“Once you've completed the main objectives, there's not much incentive to play again. The game feels repetitive without new challenges or variations.”
