The story of the game is generally well-received, featuring a compelling narrative centered around esports, but many players feel it ends abruptly before reaching its full potential, leaving them wanting more content and depth.

- “It's a very polished and addicting game that gets into a really compelling story about a kid getting into esports.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and enjoyable duel-based tournament structure, with some comparisons to "Punch Club" due to its unique stat system. However, criticisms arise regarding the AI's performance and the overall depth and value of the gameplay, with some players feeling it lacks longevity and challenge. Despite these issues, many find the gameplay fun and addictive, contributing positively to the overall experience.
- “The gameplay loop is very reminiscent of 'Punch Club' but with the twist of stats not decaying over time, which I liked as a change.”
- “I really enjoy the game mechanics; it's so much fun!”
- “The story of the game is addictive as well as the gameplay.”
- “Kinda sucks I was able to grind through it in 8 hours, but games like Esports Godfather have shown there can be a lot more depth in gameplay. Honestly, the depth in time played (unless I'm missing something) stops at two games; this is just a bad value.”
- “Bruh, this AI mechanic sucks. They let you lose on purpose; I don't know why they even did this. Fix the game; this is awful.”
- “The second phase of the game, where you play CS:GO, could implement a better mechanic. The move-and-shoot turn-based system with the percentage is too wonky.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous bugs that affect gameplay, such as incorrect charge calculations for in-game actions and unresponsive AI behavior. Players frequently encounter glitches that disrupt the game state, leading to frustrating experiences where the AI acts illogically or freezes during critical moments. Overall, the game's design flaws contribute to a lack of reliability and enjoyment.
- “There are a few calculation glitches, like a bus ride charging $1 but taking $2, and the AI not being the smartest. The player AI, particularly in the RTS parts of the game, sometimes leaves the game state in a weird spot and just freezes while the opponent is farming and getting stronger.”
- “It's still buggy when unable to repair buildings even though you have the resources to do it.”
- “The shooter game is pretty buggy; for example, if your enemy dies on the bomb, you can't disarm it and just keep passing your turn.”
