The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of coherence and progression, with players frequently encountering bugs that hinder mission completion and create frustrating gameplay experiences. Many users report issues with mission requirements that do not align with their current progress, leading to a sense of being stuck and unable to advance. Overall, the narrative structure feels stale and lacks engaging elements, making it less appealing for players.
“I quite enjoy the game; however, on level 3, the last quest to complete is 200k of trash, but it is impossible to get that. I can't even use diamonds to pass it, so now I'm just stuck, which isn't great.”
“On stage 2, on the last mission to complete 2 farmers market orders, but I've been doing that for 3 days now, and progression is still at 0. It's a wall keeping me from moving forward.”
“In tier 2, they forgot the code to increase truck capacity, the sorter machine constantly jammed up waiting for helicopters, and the quests often don't take account of what you have already accomplished.”
“Game is a bit stale and boring; not enough diversity or a real storyline or enough interactive properties to keep the game engaging. It's not worth the storage space, and I give up. It's not really worth anyone's time, and definitely don't ever spend real money on these money suckers. That's why I do the reviews and play the games, so you don't have to waste time or real money.”
“I'm on 37/40 missions but will not be able to unlock level 3 due to the impossible mission.”
“On stage 2, on the last mission to complete 2 farmers market orders, but I've been doing that for 3 days now and progression is still at 0. It's a wall keeping me from moving forward.”
