- “Fashion Police Squad boasts a delightful pixel art style dominated by bright, vibrant colors.”

- “Switching between weapons feels clunky, graphics aren't the most polished with lots of jagged lines, and FPS optimization is poor for a game of its type.”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly in the later stages where constant weapon switching and lengthy, copy-paste level designs detract from the initial enjoyment. The gameplay often devolves into a frustrating cycle of micromanagement and challenging platforming, leading to a decline in engagement as players face overwhelming enemy encounters without significant evolution in gameplay. While the game starts strong, many reviewers note that it quickly becomes a chore rather than a rewarding experience.
- “Levels are long and copy/paste areas, making them feel tedious.”
- “Enjoyable for the first 2 hours, gets tedious afterwards.”
- “What should be a seamless blend of strategy and action devolves into a tedious exercise in micromanagement.”

Overall, "Fashion Police Squad" offers a moderate level of replayability, primarily appealing to those interested in speedrunning or achieving 100% completion. While some players find enjoyment in revisiting the game, many agree that it lacks substantial content for repeated playthroughs beyond achievements and secrets.

- “Fashion Police Squad is a pleasant, compact game with a solid amount of replayability.”
- “Has good replay value as well, and I see myself replaying the game again when I'm older.”
- “Replay value is guaranteed if you want to speedrun the game too: each level is timed and there are features and tools to improve mobility.”
- “Aside from achievements and secrets, there is not much replayability here.”
- “For that reason, I don't think there's much replayability either, and there aren't many secrets to be found anyway.”
- “Additionally, after beating all levels at 100%, there's literally not any real reason to ever play the game again, due to it severely lacking replayability, unless you are in the speedrunning scene.”

Overall, the game's optimization is mixed; while it runs smoothly on high-end systems with good performance at max settings, players have reported random frame drops and minor bugs, particularly during specific encounters and with certain enemies. Some maps feel unfinished, leading to out-of-bounds issues, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “Performance: flawless; played it on my desktop PC at 90 fps.”
- “In terms of glitches and the more technical side of things, the game is well optimized (or at least ran well at max settings on my system - RTX 2060, i7 8th gen, 16GB RAM, NVMe SSD), but I did run into a few issues.”
- “My only gripe was that a few of the encounters are confined into extremely small arenas for the amount of enemies you face and that gives you little room for maneuvers; other than that, the game ran smoothly on my PC.”
- “It's poorly optimized with random frame drops when the game looks like your average Doom wad, and some maps feel unfinished in places where you can easily go out of bounds. Really strange.”
- “Not to mention minor bugs and inexcusable performance. I mean seriously, with these simple visuals and a high-end GPU, I should not be dropping below 100 FPS at any time.”
- “I also had noticeable performance drops when the electro music enemy appears, and on no other time in the game.”

- “It has promise, but it glitches for a second or two randomly during gameplay.”
