The gameplay of "Tru or Die: Chiraq" is described as engaging and immersive, featuring solid core mechanics and innovative entrepreneurial elements that enhance player decision-making. However, many users criticize the game for its lack of NPCs, repetitive missions, and technical issues, leading to mixed feelings about its overall execution and value. While some players find the concept exciting and recommend trying it, others suggest waiting for updates to address its shortcomings.
“Tru or Die: Chiraq offers an engaging and immersive gameplay experience that shows a lot of potential.”
“The entrepreneurship system is incredibly well-implemented, allowing players to make real-world decisions that have tangible consequences on their gameplay.”
“The fluid and natural combat mechanics make every encounter feel intense and satisfying.”
“Bugs, bad graphics, multiplayer is buns, missions get boring, and NPCs are not frequent and lack mechanics.”
“Definitely a good concept, pretty fun, but I didn't see any NPCs besides the vendors and mission ones. The town was barren with no people or cars going around, mechanics are not quite there yet. I feel this game is worth maybe $15-$20, and in the state it's in right now I ended up refunding and am going to keep watching for updates, so for now I wouldn't recommend it especially for the price but if they make the game better I will come back and change that.”
“Game won't launch after I saved the game after 15 minutes of gameplay and I keep getting a memory error.”

“The game has a lot of potential for optimization, which could enhance the overall experience and gameplay.”
“The map isn't really that big at all contrary to what they say in the game description, interacting with things is wonky/broken, performance is meh for the fact that there's nothing really going on in the world (no traffic, peds, most NPCs don't move, etc.), questing is broken (you finish a quest and it doesn't tell you what to do or where to go next), grow plots are almost impossible to interact with when close together, and just an overall lack of content in my opinion for a 30 dollar game.”
