    116 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its quirky and thematic fit, particularly the acoustic western-style tracks. However, there are frequent complaints about the lack of in-game music during matches, which can lead to a dull atmosphere, and suggestions for more intense or varied soundtracks during gameplay.

  • story
    110 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The consensus among users is that the game lacks a meaningful story, with many reviewers stating explicitly that there is "no story" or comparing it to games like "Temple Run" in terms of narrative depth. A few comments suggest that while the gameplay is enjoyable, the absence of a campaign or narrative mode detracts from the overall experience.

  • monetization
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I really like the fact that there are no in-game purchases; everything is earned by leveling up.”
    • “A quick cash grab that only 1/10 players could play for longer than a month.”
    • “I feel like if this game was free-to-play, maybe more people would play, but that would mean you would have to add microtransactions unfortunately, which would probably attract more players.”
    • “I have to say that Qazi does the best marketing and advertising I have ever seen for a game that is a serious letdown.”
  • replayability
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the game offers fun and replay value, particularly for its low price, but its longevity may be limited without fresh content.
