The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to purchase a premium version to remove ads and unlock additional features, others feel that the frequency of ads detracts significantly from the overall experience. A common workaround suggested by players is to turn off Wi-Fi or use airplane mode to avoid ads altogether.
“I bought no ads so it's even better!!!”
“This game is awesome; it has no ads.”
“I love this game because there are no bugs, no ads, and it is fun to play.”
“This game is terrible. First off, the controls are bad, then when you die, you lose your superpowers, and the ads pop up every time you try to heal or go to another area. Why so many ads? At least calm it down with the ads; it's too much.”
“The only reason it is a 4 and not a 5-star review is because of the ads and when the characters speak to get close to us. Overall, it is one of my favorite MDickie games.”
“I would give it five stars, but it shows us crappy ads that are 30 seconds long.”

The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding the character designs, funny names, and hilarious dialogue to be standout features. Many reviews highlight the game's ability to create absurd and comedic scenarios, such as parodying well-known superheroes and incorporating unexpected elements that lead to laughter. Overall, the game is described as entertaining and addictive, with a strong emphasis on its comedic aspects, making it a fun experience for players.
“This is one of the most hilarious games I've ever played; the character names are also very funny, the brawl, story, but one peculiar thing about Super City, like other Mdickie games, is that it's addictive, very addictive.”
“The game is fun and extremely funny. You get to do all kinds of things, like even using the bathroom, which doesn't happen in many games. If only you could choose if you want to help someone out, this game would be a blast. Try it; it's amazing!”
“I love this game because it's funny and awesome, and there needs to be more maps. The ads need to be taken off, so I just put myself on airplane mode so ads don't have to distract me.”
“The humor in this game falls flat; it feels forced and unoriginal.”
“I expected some clever jokes, but instead, I was met with cringeworthy attempts at comedy.”
“The attempts at humor are so over-the-top that they become more annoying than funny.”

The game's story aspect has received mixed feedback, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative and additional missions. While some enjoy the freedom to create their own superhero scenarios, others find the lack of a cohesive storyline and meaningful quests disappointing. Suggestions for improvement include adding character backstories, more engaging missions, and a clearer progression to enhance the overall experience.
“If you are looking for a superhero fighting story game, Supercity is the one.”
“Decide where your loyalties lie and fight for control of every corner of Super City as your own unique story plays out.”
“This is the best superhero sim game on the whole Play Store. You should add some story in this, like Spider-Man, how he was a normal boy bitten by a spider, so you should add some backstory and main story where the whole city is controlled by villains and you are a normal boy who gets superpowers and has to save the world by teaming up with other superheroes.”
“The game is interesting but I think it would be better in 3D, if the city were bigger, more characters, aerial battles, characters having more than one power, a larger prison, an ocean, outer space, a sewer that spreads throughout the city, normal civilians, kids, arenas, characters with families, airplanes, an actual story mode, detailed rooftops, etc.”
“This game is actually stupid.... because there is no point to this game.... I lose every time and there is no storyline at all like, how and why did everyone turn into superheroes and what do I have to do? I can't understand what's my role.”
“The storyline is just too predictable; it will bore you within minutes, trust me.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the soundtrack and its adventurous vibe, while others find it annoying and request options to mute or change it. Many users express frustration over the lack of a master volume control, making it difficult to enjoy their own music alongside the game. Overall, while the music adds to the game's charm for some, it detracts from the experience for others who wish for more customization options.
“I like the music and the characters and the places; you can also be a hero or a villain.”
“Really really like this game! When I pick a strong hero, it will push far away when punched; it's really funny 😂😂😂😂 and the theme song is really cool😍😍. I wish I could rate it 100 stars! If anyone sees this, I recommend you download this game; you won't regret it 😎😎😎.”
“Great and fun to play, and great graphics and music.”
“The game is great overall but the problem is that you can't reduce the main sound. For example, if you want to play music while playing, you have to decrease your volume, but it's still a great game.”
“Fun game but there's no master volume, so if you like the sound then good for you, but if you want to mute it (listening to music, perhaps?) then you're out of luck!”
“Great game but the music is annoying; you guys should put an off button.”
