  • story

    133 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story and missions offer an engaging open-world experience reminiscent of GTA, but many users find the storyline uninspired, repetitive, and lacking depth, with calls for more varied, challenging, and extensive missions alongside unlockable maps and roleplay elements. Technical issues like mission glitches, limited rewards, and connection problems detract from the experience, while players also request improvements such as better AI, permanent item ownership, and more immersive story modes with cutscenes. Overall, while the game provides fun action and exploration, its narrative and mission design need significant expansion and polish to maintain long-term player engagement.

    • “The gameplay is super engaging, with tons of missions, activities, and freedom to explore the massive map.”
    • “I love it, absolutely my favourite GTA clone; it has everything: cars, bikes, helicopters, missions, paramedic, taxi, events, even the mission music no other GTA clone has gone this far and in depth. I proudly spent some money here to support the devs.”
    • “The best online game I have played with many different things to do, great missions & events, level progress, upgrades, play with friends—so much fun. I have to play this every day.”
    • “The story, if you can even call it that, is laughably uninspired and riddled with clichés that make you cringe at every cutscene.”
    • “Also the storyline sucks.”
    • “Too much bugs I really like this game but only 4 to 6 missions repeat over and over again. Please improve the game, add new missions and improve the graphics.”
  • graphics

    97 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics receive generally positive feedback, praised for being impressive and GTA 5-like, especially given its optimization for lower-end phones. Some users note the visuals are detailed and realistic, enhancing the immersive open-world experience, while others request improvements in texture quality, effects, and smoother performance on mid-range devices. However, a few players find the graphics subpar or outdated, suggesting further enhancements would elevate the overall gameplay.

    • “The graphics are incredible, especially for an Android game, and the level of detail in the world is just stunning.”
    • “One of the best, if not the best GTA 5-like mobile experience, with awesome graphics, a nice leveling system, and lots of great missions to enjoy.”
    • “The game is fully optimized with the best graphics and also detailed and sharp textures.”
    • “The graphics might have been acceptable a decade ago, but in today's market, they look like a poorly rendered beta test.”
    • “Improve the graphics a little more; the tires and grille of the vehicle look bad in the game.”
    • “Overall the game is really good but one thing is disappointing that is crashing; there is too much lagging and crashing every time while I set the graphics at low and everything at low but it's still crashing.”
  • monetization

    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users largely criticize the game's monetization for excessive, long, and intrusive ads, including forced ads on startup and frequent pop-ups disrupting gameplay. Many feel the game relies too heavily on microtransactions and ads, which negatively impacts the experience, especially when combined with glitches like ad errors and crashes. While the game is enjoyable and offers good content, the aggressive monetization and ad issues significantly detract from player satisfaction.

    • “Great game but relies too much on ads and digital transactions.”
    • “GTA knock off with a ton of micro transactions (just like GTA). This game plays solid but it's very clearly a cash grab with minimal effort put in.”
    • “Too many pop ups and ads, like the game is riddled with so many micro transactions that it took 5 minutes to close all the pop ups about it.”
  • gameplay

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its smooth mechanics, engaging missions, and open-world exploration reminiscent of GTA, though some users note issues with stiff animations, combat difficulty, and performance lag on mid-range devices. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and varied, improvements are desired in areas such as parkour mechanics, NPC behavior, multiplayer features, and in-game economy balance. Overall, the game offers a compelling experience but has room for refinement to enhance realism and multiplayer convenience.

    • “The gameplay is super engaging, with tons of missions, activities, and freedom to explore the massive map.”
    • “Great game, like GTA Online, with missions, good control systems for shooting, driving, and general gameplay.”
    • “This game significantly reduced my boredom with its mechanics, features, graphics, variety of NPCs, real estates, and more.”
    • “This update ruined gameplay.”
    • “The first issue lies in the animations, particularly the jumping mechanic, which feels stiff and unnatural; refining this would make movement smoother and more engaging.”
    • “Game is good like GTA series but the game is lagging and stuttering for a long time gameplay. I have a mid-range device, only medium graphics settings. Mobile gets warm, FPS drops, and after that this game app closes automatically. This game developer needs to fix those issues.”
  • optimization

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant optimization issues, especially on low to mid-tier devices, citing frequent crashes, lag, freezing, and high data usage that detract from gameplay. While the game is praised for its concept and potential, smooth performance and reduced loading times are needed to improve user experience across all devices.

    • “The game needs better optimization to reduce loading time and data usage.”
    • “Overall, I liked the game and it showed decent performance on my device with a little bit of lag. However, after the apartment mission, the game started crashing when loading reached 90%. I hope for a fix and more optimization in future updates. I'll give 5 stars.”
    • “It should be optimized for low end devices.”
    • “Mid-tier spec devices, or phones with a few years on their belt just won't perform smoothly. I've played great looking games on my device, but this game simply has bad performance, at least for me.”
    • “Seriously, the worst optimization for such a big size game. I have a Samsung S24 and still the game crashes again and again. Really worthless to download.”
    • “The game has no optimization for low-end devices. It crashes all the time. The problem isn't my device though, the game crashes whenever I open or load it.”
  • stability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from frequent freezing, glitches during missions, and lag issues that hinder gameplay stability. Despite good graphics and some enjoyable content, users report persistent bugs, unfinished features, and performance problems that require urgent updates and fixes.

    • “It keeps freezing up and when I tried to shoot in the game it froze. Please fix the errors and glitches in the game and update.”
    • “The only enjoyable thing about this game was the 50 cent pack for a Delorean. Other than that, this game is a laggy, unfinished, DLC-ridden excuse of a 'GTA' style game. Rampant glitches and almost impossible to kill NPCs are plaguing this game, like the drag and drop models from Drive Zone. An actual lame excuse of a multiplayer focused on nothing but extorting the idiotic for $5.99 add-ons.”
    • “It's good but it could get better. For example, if you open a box you only get money or EXP, nothing else, and on top of that it sometimes glitches in the middle of a mission.”
  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have mixed emotional responses: while the game's missions, vehicles, and developer efforts are praised as heartfelt and engaging, the gacha system is often described as frustrating and disheartening due to frequent near-misses.

    • “It's a really good mafia game. Its missions and vehicles are really the best, but the best thing is its houses. The developers are doing good work, really heart touching.”
  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for its mission tracks, standing out as a unique feature among GTA clones. However, players also desire more authentic and diverse audio elements, such as real music and TV channels, to enhance immersion. Overall, the soundtrack is appreciated but there is room for further enrichment.

  • atmosphere
