The gameplay is somewhat confusing initially, with unclear mechanics and purposes that take time to understand. Additionally, the help menu containing essential gameplay information is poorly placed, making it difficult for players to find guidance.
- “I played around 30 minutes and am still trying to figure out the mechanics and what everything means and their purpose.”
- “There is an about menu explaining resources, gameplay, car assembly, etc., but it's located in the top right corner when you click on the portrait, where you would not expect to look for help on the game.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent freezes during repetitive events and buggy mechanics in crucial systems like the car manufacturing production line, leading to player frustration and potential abandonment.
- “If you capture a city, a competitor will not stop trying to capture it, causing you to do a race every 12 seconds. They drive away after the race for a few seconds and turn right around 6 seconds later to try again. After 4-5 races, the loading just gives up and freezes halfway through.”
- “Car manufacture was a total dud; the production line is basically a buggy ancient mess. I can't even remember the names of the dozen or so other car manufacturing games that have appeared and faded away, so I guess once I get too frustrated with this, it's back to Gear City.”
