The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, freezes, and crashes that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience issues such as black screens, disappearing trucks, and unresponsive controls, often leading to lost progress and frustration. While the game has potential and is praised for its graphics and gameplay, the persistent bugs detract from the overall experience, prompting calls for urgent fixes from developers.

“I'm hoping that the game developers and programmers will fix it soon and make the game easy and bug-free to play.”
“Very well put together, runs great on low-end devices as well.”
“However, once you get to a certain spot, it freezes and the screen gets all pixelated, and it will no longer work.”
“The game is great except for the fact that it always glitches between levels 11 and 15, causing you to have to restart from scratch.”
“Lost my progress twice due to glitches.”

The game's story aspect is often overshadowed by numerous technical issues, including frequent crashes and glitches that disrupt mission completion. While players appreciate the variety of missions and realistic graphics, many express frustration over repetitive tasks and the lack of progression due to these bugs. Overall, the potential for a compelling narrative is hindered by the need for significant improvements in stability and mission variety.
“This game is very interesting and very good for all people who like truck games. There are many missions, many things you can do, and realistic graphics. It offers a realistic feel and various things and maps you can explore. This game is the best game in the world; I like it very much.”
“I love this game! The graphics are like ETS2, 10/10 for details and physics. However, there are some problems: first, fix the sudden day-night shift; second, improve the interior camera view; third, allow for customizable buttons; fourth, add more missions and long journeys; and fifth, include car crash sounds.”
“Awesome game but more places and more mission story mode needed.”
“I love this game concept... but there are so many glitches. Why do we return to base every time we complete a mission? It's so annoying. Another glitch is when we exit from the truck during a job, the game will exit and we need to restart the game and that job.”
“Bruh, fix your game. It keeps crashing. Every time I enter the game, I expect at least 3 or 4 crashes during a mission. I wouldn't mind, but it doesn't auto-save, and both my friend and I have lost a lot of progress and have to do it again. This really made me quit the game for several months because of how annoying it was.”
“The game is good, but one thing I will play: I can't finish my mission because in the middle of the game it will vanish. What's wrong with that?”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to watch ads for rewards. However, many users have reported issues with in-app purchases, including game crashes and loss of progress, leading to frustrations about the overall value of spending money in the game. While some players find the pricing for trucks and upgrades reasonable, others feel it leans towards a cash grab, especially when combined with technical issues.
“Most appreciative thing: no ads issue and also offline game.”
“No ads, pretty good graphics, the trucks cost a pretty penny but it makes you work for them.”
“One of the best truck simulator games! The map is so beautiful, just need a cloud save system for safety in-game purchases!”
“What a waste of time! You just wanted to earn views from ads. After your truck was damaged, it's over. Pretty clever with the black screen 🤬 after paying for repairs, nothing changed.”
“This game is a total scam. For weeks now, my screen is black and my truck is totally damaged for no apparent reason. I bought cash to purchase a 200k truck and now I can't use it. I reached level 20 and now my money and hard work are wasted. Please be aware of this scam; the developers are scamming people after they make in-game purchases, turning the whole screen black and decommissioning your truck for no reason.”
“So this is basically a cash grab where you have to first pay to even start the game.”
