Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some users criticizing it for being reaction-time based and lacking depth, while others appreciate its addictive and well-paced mechanics. Many suggest that quality-of-life improvements could significantly enhance the experience, indicating that the core gameplay is solid but could benefit from additional features. Overall, it offers a fun loop for a drug-dealing sim, but there is room for improvement.
“Of the various 'drug dealing sims' I have played, this one has the most fun, addictive, tight gameplay loop of them all.”
“Gameplay is well paced.”
“Shitty gameplay, reaction-time based mechanics.”
“I am torn: for the money it's decent but with a few quality of life improvements like being able to not have to drag and drop every 10g bag onto the thug and a few buyable upgrades like a bigger mixer would improve gameplay so much for longer sessions... I'd give it 49/100; if it added a few quality of life features, it could be an easy 70/100 for this price!”
“Simple, but core game mechanics are solid.”
