The gameplay is characterized as simple and repetitive, relying on basic mechanics that involve quick button presses, which some players find engaging while others consider it mediocre compared to similar racing games.

The optimization of the game has been criticized for its lack of meaningful performance upgrades and misleading customization options, as fully upgraded cars do not perform as expected in higher tiers. Additionally, the overwhelming presence of microtransactions detracts from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to enjoy the game fully.
- “Performance and paint customization!”
- “Game mobile is a computer optimized drag racing game with steam designed for the game.”
- “And to make matters worse, it seems that performance upgrades barely make a difference as a fully upgraded tier 1 car could do a few races in tier 2, but you can't as the game doesn't allow you unless you pay $7.”
- “The lack of originality, the overwhelming presence of microtransactions, and the lackluster features and performance make it difficult to enjoy.”
- “The description is incredibly misleading - there are 16 custom bodies, inspired by cars from the 60s, 70s, and 80s - but their performance in no way relates to their real-life counterpart.”
