The game's story is criticized for being forgettable and extremely short, consisting of only about ten missions, which limits player engagement with the narrative. While the missions themselves are described as fun and solid, the overall plot lacks depth and additional activities, leaving players wanting more. Despite these shortcomings, the game offers a fast-paced experience reminiscent of titles like GTA and Hotline Miami, appealing to those who enjoy action-driven gameplay.
“Do missions, earn money, become a rich criminal, and own the city.”
“As for the story, it isn't much; you're helped by Felix, one of your few friends in the city, to stay alive in the fight against the Legion. You'll meet a few other contacts, but not much else to say.”
“It’s the best of GTA and a drop of Hotline Miami, which ends up being this fun, fast-paced drive around killing and doing missions to progress through the game and story.”
“The main story is too short!”
“As for the story, it isn't much; you're helped by Felix, one of your few friends in the city, to stay alive in the fight against the Legion, but not much else happens.”

The game features an interesting art style and a great aesthetic, but many users have noted that the graphics appear washed out and blurred, making smaller text difficult to read, particularly on higher resolution monitors. Limited graphical settings may contribute to these issues.

“I noticed the graphics seemed pretty washed out and blurred, to the point where most of the smaller text is nearly unreadable. Maybe this is because I play on a UWQHD monitor; I don't know. But with the limited settings this game provides, I wasn't able to fix the problem.”

The gameplay is considered to be of questionable value for its low price, with users noting that the shooting mechanics feel unusual or awkward.
“The shooting mechanics are... weird.”
“But as for the gameplay, for the low price of 10 reais, or probably 5 US dollars, is the price justifiable?”
