The gameplay of the game is generally described as smooth and fun, with appealing graphics and a solid theme. However, players express frustration over monetization mechanics, such as the difficulty in earning coins and the reliance on ads, as well as issues with controls and the need for an internet connection for a primarily single-player experience.

The story aspect of the game is seen as an improvement over its predecessor, with users appreciating the cooler missions and engaging gameplay. However, there are calls for a more developed storyline and the return of features like weapon upgrades and challenges from the older version. Additionally, players express frustration with the energy system and ads interrupting gameplay, suggesting these elements detract from the overall experience.
“It had a cooler story and missions, better music, and you could change the game controls (move arrows and attack button instead of swiping).”
“The fact that it was taken from the old 'Super Action Hero' doesn't give the option of choosing weapons, upgrading masks, and skills. It's kind of simple yet lacks challenges or missions.”
“The game is very fluid, but I wish it could have the same stories or missions from the older version. Regardless, I'm very grateful for Com2us to bring this golden game back again.”
“Try adding a storyline to make the game better.”
