The game's story is generally well-received, capturing the humor and essence of the original *Futurama* series, with engaging missions and character interactions. However, many players express frustration over the pacing and progression, citing overly long mission times, high costs for upgrades, and a reliance on in-game purchases that hinder the ability to advance the storyline without spending real money.

“The game itself is fun, the storyline is funny and in the spirit of the show.”
“Great stories with that classic Futurama feel, they do a great job having a new story almost every week, especially around the holidays.”
“The writing and story sucks.”
“It's impossible to complete the event quests through grinding alone, you can only get anywhere further than the first couple by spending real cash on the in-game currency.”

The reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is overwhelmingly viewed as tedious and frustrating, with many players expressing that it detracts significantly from the overall enjoyment. Players report excessive time requirements to progress, often leading to a pay-to-win scenario where real money is needed to bypass the grind. While the game starts off fun, it quickly becomes a repetitive chore, with many feeling that the lack of new content exacerbates the grinding experience.
“This game is a lot of fun for the first several districts, but later there's an absurd difficulty spike that makes it nearly impossible to progress without weeks worth of grinding.”
“The new combat and leveling up update made it worse; it does nothing interesting except it makes leveling up longer, less fun, and it requires far more grinding, without a real reason.”
“The unlock system is tedious and boring; it takes forever to get enough money to actually do things.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with players praising the catchy theme song and its nostalgic connection to the original show. However, there are notable technical issues, such as the music not looping properly and continuing to play even after exiting the app, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, many users find the soundtrack enjoyable and fitting for the game's aesthetic.
“Second, I could jam to the theme song all day, man!!!”
“The music alone gets 5 stars.”
“Surprisingly good and varied gameplay; an aesthetic you know and love; simple controls on top of an amazing soundtrack.”
“Also, the theme music on the map doesn't loop, which makes everything way too quiet once it ends.”
“App constantly freezes as soon as it loads, but the music plays long after you've clicked off of the app.”
“Same developers as the Family Guy game, which started recycling content within a year, and just like that app, it keeps running in the background when you close the game (game music plays when I am back to my home screen), so don't expect fixes since that bug has existed for years.”
