The gameplay of the game is often compared to classic Pokémon mechanics, featuring turn-based battles and item usage, but many players find it repetitive and simplistic, lacking depth and variety. While some appreciate the nostalgic feel and humor tied to the Rick and Morty universe, others criticize the mechanics for being unbalanced and frustrating, particularly in multiplayer modes. Technical issues, such as crashes and lost progress, further detract from the overall experience, leading to mixed reviews on the gameplay's enjoyment and functionality.
- “I love this game, its cartoony effects, its Pokémon-style gameplay, and the different things to do.”
- “The gameplay is enjoyable, really reminiscent of early pocket monster games.”
- “It's an amazing mix of Rick and Morty and Pokémon-styled gameplay.”
- “The only mechanics in the battle segments of the game are 'attack', which, as opposed to attacking, instead gets you attacked, and when you get attacked, you almost immediately lose. 'Item', which does nothing because you can only use items if you have items, which you can only buy with 'schmeckles', which you can only get by winning, which you cannot.”
- “The battle mechanics aren't fluid, it's repetitive, and it's boring.”
- “Gameplay is horrid and really forces you to spend money to progress.”

The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism, with many users describing it as overly aggressive and akin to a cash grab. Players report that while there are options to progress without spending money, the game heavily incentivizes in-app purchases and ad views, often making it difficult to advance otherwise. Additionally, issues with lost purchases and data after uninstalling the game have further frustrated users, leading to a perception of the game as exploitative rather than genuinely enjoyable.
- “I do enjoy the multitude of Mortys to catch ('gotta catch 'em all' - it really feels a lot like handheld Pokémon games). All in all, I like the game and it's not popping up microtransactions left and right like most games, a major bonus in my opinion.”
- “It also has the least intrusive in-app purchases I have ever seen in a mobile game.”
- “It's fun and has literally no ads. Only if you want to watch an ad, it's optional. This game doesn't have anything actually wrong with it; it's a nice game.”
- “Prior to this, I found the microtransactions to be pushy and far too expensive.”
- “The game feels so much grindier, and the microtransactions are so much more egregious and in your face.”
- “This game is just a shameless cash grab.”
