The gameplay is criticized for being limited and repetitive, with only three to four hours of content that feels like dull grinding. Players have noted issues such as crashes and poor vehicle responsiveness, alongside concerns about pay-to-progress mechanics. However, there is some appreciation for the game's mechanics and potential, especially in the context of early access development.
“Mechanics and ideology of the game are beautiful!”
“Not bad! I hope you make it more like a car sim mechanic with more options. I hope the devs don't abandon the game; I know it's early access. I'd like to see this go. We need more drag racing games; there are no decent ones out, bar Dragfactor, which is a mod for rFactor. Keep up the good work, devs!”
“That amounts to three to four hours of gameplay, which is on the low side even for a racing game.”
“Oh, and let's add what appear to be pay-to-progress mechanics just to turn the screws a bit harder.”
“Bare-bones gameplay!”

The graphics in "Street Legal Racing Redline" and "1320" are widely criticized for being outdated and plagued by glitches, with many users noting that even at the highest settings, the visuals remain unimpressive. Players seeking a polished experience with high-quality graphics are advised to look elsewhere, as these games cater more to niche audiences who enjoy customization and gameplay over visual fidelity. Common issues include disappearing roads and vehicle clipping, further detracting from the overall graphical experience.
“If you are looking for a polished game with AAA graphics, then look elsewhere because the game is for people who like cutting and pasting different parts into sleeper cars and letting them roar on the tarmac.”
“Even on the highest graphical preset from the barebones options menu, this game is visually unimpressive for the most part.”
“Not only does that game made for Windows 95 work better than this, (1320 crashed on me twice in an hour) it also had a functional save mechanic you could control, the vehicles actually responded to input, and to be honest the graphics were not much worse back then.”
“Graphical issues in game: road disappearing and clipping.”

The game demonstrates strong optimization, as it runs smoothly at 1440p with a consistent 60 frames per second on a high-end system. Players can enhance vehicle performance and value through various upgrades, although the choices made do not significantly affect the game's outcome.
“On the performance and stability fronts, my Ryzen 9 3900X, 64GB RAM, 1070Ti, Windows 10 system encountered no problems playing the game at 1440p and a constant 60 frames per second.”
“While initially intriguing, none of the choices will impact the outcome: your character’s down to their last assets and must increase their reputation and car performance to get back at the rival gang.”
“There are tons of parts that can be put on the vehicle to increase value and performance.”

The game's story features a choose-your-own-adventure style introduction that sets the stage for racing, reminiscent of early 2000s titles like Hot Rod American Street Drag. However, many users find the storyline lacking in quality, describing it as "pretty bad." Overall, while it offers a nostalgic feel, the narrative does not significantly enhance the experience.
“Before one engages in the dangerous activity that is racing, there is an introductory story resembling a choose-your-own-adventure.”
“If you liked Hot Rod American Street Drag (an old early 2000s game), you will like this pretty much exactly the same, just with different cars and a little bit of a storyline. Other than that, it's pretty much the same.”
“The storyline... wow... pretty bad.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as it often involves repetitive tasks with little variation in gameplay. Many express frustration with the AI's overwhelming tactics and the diminishing returns from grinding country races, leading to a lack of motivation to progress.
“There’s minimal functional variation in gameplay, and most of the time spent reaching that point is just dull grinding in order to progress to the next racer.”
“The AI will spray 200 shots all day, and you'll eventually stop getting sufficient money from grinding country races.”
