The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, primarily due to technical issues and a lack of content. Players express frustration with bugs that hinder progress, particularly during the tutorial and first mission, which is perceived as overly short and lacking depth. While some find the mission concept engaging, the overall execution leaves much to be desired, with calls for more missions and improved optimization.
- “The tasks in the mission were really good; for example: first a dialog task, then a preparation task, and then a fighting task.”
- “The mission was actually quite fun, but the bugs and dialogues made it less enjoyable.”
- “It's poorly optimized with a horrifically long tutorial, and if you've spent half an hour in the first mission and you get injured, you have to start from the beginning. Poor game.”
- “Halfway through the first mission when I had to place the barriers, I placed 2 fences and after that I literally couldn't grab them and I was stuck, so I restarted the game and I was thrown back to the beginning of the mission.”
- “You are then taught only violent ways to subdue a human before being thrown into the first mission that you would think says 'protect the soccer fans', but no - it's 'hooligans are running amok and we gotta get out there'.”

- “The overall mechanics show promise, and the gameplay can be engaging at times.”
- “The prologue offers a glimpse into the game's mechanics, including squad coordination and equipment management.”
- “Gameplay is looking interesting but can't even get to the tutorial since when you are asked to press E to incapacitate the sparring partner, it always fails.”
- “I went into Riot Control Simulator: Rookie Day hoping for a fresh take on crowd control mechanics and tactical gameplay, but unfortunately, this demo falls flat in nearly every aspect.”
- “The gameplay feels monotonous after a few missions, and the graphics aren’t particularly impressive.”
- “From a lack of feedback from hitting an enemy, to them kind of just standing around letting you hit them without a good back and forth, it's one of those games that decided to go broad rather than deep; lots of mechanics, all of which are very shallow.”

- “However, since it's still in the pre-release stage, there are noticeable bugs and some rough edges—issues with controls, AI behavior, and occasional graphical glitches that affect the experience.”
