The story in the game is loosely based on the movie, featuring missions where players help the Paw Patrol pups clean up messes caused by Mayor Humdinger.

Additionally, technical issues and bugs detract from the overall experience, making progression frustrating at times.

- “Yes, I get the game is set in 'Adventure City' like the movie is, but that's no excuse for literally the same street level design in every single mission.”
