“Fantastic game, great graphics, superbly entertaining storyline.”
“The story is a little silly, but that's part of what makes it so fun (remember some of the best games were silly i.e. Super Mario Bros & Legend of Zelda)!”
“Great game, nice graphics but much better if you remove the energy system of the game because it will consume some time to fill it up at play the story again.”
“The story is far too short though.”
“I would have given 5 stars, but since there's no more levels after the 50th, it becomes a boring game.”
“The game is ok, but the original Major Mayhem is better in almost every way; the story is better and there aren't ads every minute.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the option to watch ads for rewards, while others criticize the heavy reliance on ads for progression and the presence of microtransactions. Some users report technical issues with ads causing crashes, while others feel that the game is overly dependent on watching ads to unlock content, leading to a frustrating experience.

“Tbh this game is fun...yes there are monetization but I don't think it is required at all...the only thing sad about this is that there aren't enough levels...other than that everything is good.”
“Don't believe the haters this game just like the 1st is awesome in-app purchases yes... but you don't need to pay to win, just 'play' to win.”
“Total cash grab.”
“The monetization and advertising really diminish the play experience.”
“This takes the original, improves the graphics, makes the controls glitchy, and removes a bunch of the fun elements, then stuffs it full of ads, timers, grinds that you need to pay to overcome etc. the grabbiest game I've ever had and not all that much fun...”

While many appreciate the variety of enemies and levels, there are calls for more weapons and modes to enhance replayability.

“Great gameplay and fun levels while introducing new enemies gradually to make gameplay not repetitive and exciting.”
“Amazing gameplay, love the animation.”
“Gameplay-wise, not much has changed aside from a few control tweaks.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and excessive, particularly when trying to unlock all weapons and achieve three-star ratings on missions. The requirement to repeatedly acquire blueprints and the reliance on watching ads for rewards contribute to a frustrating experience, although some players enjoy the game if they have ample time or are willing to spend money. Overall, while the game is fun, many reviewers feel that the grinding and ad frequency detract from its potential enjoyment.
“However, it gets grindy if you want to get three stars for all missions.”
“The grinding increased; on top of the money to buy a weapon, now they have a blueprint system that forces you to buy more weapons of the same kind more than 10 times.”
“Very grindy and a lot of ads, which is a shame; the game is decent.”

Overall, the game's replayability is hindered by limitations such as restricted weapon goals, random loot box mechanics, and energy costs that cap playtime. While some players find the sequel more enjoyable than its predecessor, many express disappointment over the short gameplay experience and lack of depth, leading to a sense of boredom after completing the game quickly. The potential for replayability exists, but it is undermined by design choices that limit player progression and engagement.
“Compare to MM1, MM2 is now more playable and I highly recommend it. Watching ads to open extra crates and speed up time is a fair concept, as sometimes you get a short in-app purchase offer that makes a 1-day crate take only 3 hours, and high-rank ones appear frequently.”
“Replayable! I finished it only with the rifle, zero upgrades, and that is all...”
“Great game, but way too short. If they didn't cheapen it by not allowing full 10 levels for each gun and by making it have some replay value, it would be way better.”
“Doesn't have the weapon goals; loot boxes provide random blueprints instead of allowing you to unlock what you want. You only have 3 slots for boxes, and the energy cost limits replayability.”
“Great game, but way too short. If they didn't cheapen it by not allowing full 10 levels for each gun and by making it have some replay value, it would be way better. Maxing player level to 46 is not cool either; I beat the game in 3 days, and it became boring after that.”
“Replayable :D I finished it only with the rifle, zero upgrades, and that is all...”
