The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players feeling that quests are overly reliant on in-game purchases and often lead to frustrating dead ends. Players report being stuck on missions due to low spawn rates for required items or pets, and the overall quest structure is seen as tedious and poorly designed, lacking clear guidance and variety. Additionally, technical issues such as bugs and lag further detract from the experience, leaving many users feeling that the game is more of a cash grab than a well-crafted narrative adventure.
- “The game is fun at first, doing quests and leveling up with shopping, but when I reached level 8, I did a quest to serve 3 orders wearing red, and it was never marked complete.”
- “After a few quests, the game begins to lack luster but still has plenty of potential.”
- “I love this game but I am stuck on the 6th level; the chef quest has no way to complete it, and I also wish there was a restart option.”
- “This game lacks any sort of storyline and it lags.”
- “The game is boring because it takes forever to get to a certain level to have certain quests available.”
- “After playing this game, I'm writing this review. I do not recommend this game at all; it's just a cash grab app. You're not going to enjoy it; all you'll do is level up and the quests are annoying. You'll get a little bit of money, but the shop items cost too much. Quickly, you'll lose interest. This is complete garbage.”
