The reviews highlight that the game is excessively grindy, often requiring players to invest significant time or money to progress effectively. Many users express frustration with the slow progression and the pay-to-win mechanics, which make grinding feel tedious and unrewarding. While some players find enjoyment in the gameplay and customization aspects, the overwhelming consensus is that the grinding experience detracts from overall enjoyment, especially for those unwilling to spend money.

- “I love how the grinding system allows me to gradually improve my character and skills.”
- “Grinding feels satisfying because every small achievement contributes to my overall progress.”
- “Premium subscription gives double of the most valuable non-trade farming in the game and you won't get anything out of that unless you're in a good clan with good gear that would take at least a year and a half of non-stop grinding to get without investing money in the game.”
- “Grindy as all hell, not really fun after a point so unless you were there from day one to wait out timegate after timegate, and save up weeks worth of (also timegated) materials to wait out crafting timers for parts you need as ingredients for other parts I'd say don't bother.”
- “The game could be fun, but prepare to spend half your life grinding because the game is catered to those who shell out $150+.”

The monetization model of the game has been widely criticized for being excessively greedy and heavily reliant on microtransactions, often leading to a "pay-to-win" environment. Many players feel that the game has transformed into a cash grab, with overpriced in-game purchases and intrusive ads that detract from the overall experience. While some users appreciate the gameplay, the overwhelming sentiment is that the monetization strategy undermines the game's potential and enjoyment.
- “At the core, it is a really fun game which should have been just full price and have cosmetic microtransactions.”
- “This game is very fun with lots of grinding and building for you, and it is very easy to learn.”
- “Fun game, no ads, not pay-to-win; would recommend if you like this genre.”
- “I paid $50 for this game a few years ago, now I can't run the game because of the bad servers and there's microtransactions everywhere. It's now free to play; wasted my $50.”
- “The problem is entirely the insanely greedy and downright stupid monetization system.”
- “It could be great, but this just quickly turned into a cash grab, and they never even tried to balance the game.”

The game's story aspect is generally viewed as lacking depth, with many players expressing a desire for a more robust narrative or story mode akin to the PC version. While the campaign and various PvE missions provide some engagement, they often feel repetitive and grind-heavy, leading to player fatigue. Additionally, the limited daily quests and the perceived pay-to-win mechanics detract from the overall enjoyment of the story-driven elements.
- “I loved the PC version which I played for 3 years till Fallout 76. If they would give different control options, it would be better, and it is almost exactly like the PC version (minus the story mode).”
- “Very great! I like that there's a story mode and you can make your own car. I really like the graphics as well. Keep adding more weapons, bodies, and modes; it makes me happy when I play this even if I lose :)”
- “The game is fun, but it gets tiring quickly. You start off by just repeating the same mission 'patrol' over and over again until you reach about level five, and then it's the same process.”
- “I mean, it's a good game, but you get bored so easily and there's no story to Crossout or missions that you do by yourself.”
- “Kind of wish the story mode is available on mobile like on the PC version.”

Overall, while the game has potential and enjoyable mechanics, its current state is marred by instability and bugs that need urgent attention from developers.

Overall, the game's optimization is generally praised, with many players reporting smooth performance even on low-end devices. However, some users have experienced lag and crashes, particularly after extended play sessions or on specific devices, indicating that further improvements are needed. While the graphics are often highlighted as impressive, there are calls for better control customization and ongoing optimization efforts to enhance the overall experience.

- “Astonishing graphics and performance, some of the best on mobile.”
- “Even if I turned to the lowest performance quality, when I test drive a car (whether it be from the store or from exhibition), it lags as soon as I launch the car into action.”
- “It's a fun game I was playing with my brothers, but you can't really do anything unless you spend real money. It's also not very optimized because on my phone, even on the lowest graphics and frame rate, I couldn't start a match most of the time. The game would just crash or say unknown error, so I got rid of the game until this stuff is fixed.”
- “Since the update, I got a lot of performance issues like lagging and the game bugging.”

- “The music is fantastic! It definitely keeps me tuned in, from one producer to another.”

- “Awesome game... you can make your own vehicle, but the controls and music sound options are not there.”
- “Nice game, but I don't like the lobby music.”
- “The file is way too large, and I may never have the music app I once had ever again, and I'm way too nervous to log back in on another account I had to reinstall because of this massive overload.”
