Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some users criticizing it for poor mechanics and reaction-time challenges, while others appreciate its addictive and well-paced core gameplay loop. Suggestions for quality-of-life improvements, such as inventory management and upgrade options, indicate that while the foundation is solid, enhancements could significantly elevate the experience. Overall, it shows potential but currently falls short in certain areas.
“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 easily be a 70/100 for this price!”
“Simple, but core game mechanics are solid.”
