The story aspect of the game is generally appreciated for its charm and connection to the Smurfs' universe, but players express frustration with quest mechanics, including glitches, repetitive tasks, and vague instructions. Many feel that after reaching certain levels, the quests become tedious and overly focused on building structures that require real money to upgrade, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the narrative. While some players enjoy the variety of missions and the engaging storyline, others find the quest system cumbersome and in need of improvement.

- “It's a great game, but I recently got a quest from Papa to collect wood from Lumber Smurf.”
- “Fun game to play for young and old with a storyline that incorporates the existing Smurfs and their characteristics.”
- “But once you get past a certain level, there are no more achievable quests or objectives; they're all just 'build this smurf wonder', 'build that smurf wonder', which are useless structures that take up a lot of room and don't do anything unless you pay real money to upgrade them multiple times.”
- “I love this game because I played it years ago, now I installed it again, but sadly there are quests that even though you've done them, they still won't count.”
- “Papa Smurf has been stuck with the quest 'make strawberry cupcakes' for two days.”

Reviews on the aspect of "grinding" in this farming game are mixed. While some players appreciate the variety of tasks, mini-games, and the nostalgic charm of the game, others find the grinding elements tedious and overly repetitive, leading to frustration with long wait times for harvesting and building. Overall, the game offers a blend of farming and adventure, but the grinding experience can detract from enjoyment for some players.
- “The game size is massive, items disappear after placing, glitches abound, and the time to harvest golden potatoes is 24 hours. If players wanted a really long farming experience, we would do real farming. The time to complete the bridge, dam, and monument is too long, which made me lose interest. It's too repetitive, and I uninstalled.”
- “The most stupid and awful farming game ever.”
- “Nothing that makes it stand out against similar farming games.”
