★★★★★ "Eurocentric to the extreme. At least 75% of the questions are for European players, especially with questions about sports, the arts, royalty and history. American players will be reduced to guessing most of the time." - unpa nunpa

★★★★★ "Pay to play. Won’t even get into the look feel and play of the game since after about 10-15 minutes of the initial stages once in the tutorial you can no longer play unless you wait a long or start spending money. Don’t bother. I wish it weren’t so. Lov…" - SnakeEyez

Pay to play
Won’t even get into the look feel and play of the game since after about 10-15 minutes of the initial stages once in the tutorial you can no longer play unless you wait a long or start spending money. Don’t bother. I wish it weren’t so. Love the show, I was hoping to like it. Not possible when you can’t play much without paying.
Mandatory loot box opening
Game won’t let me proceed without opening a loot box. Opening the game opens me into the loot box interface and won’t let me proceed further. I dislike mandatory UX flows and just wanted to disable notifications. Since I can’t reach the main screen, I’ve deleted the game.
Bad update
Today’s update has made progress unbelievably slow. Very difficult to earn player XP, chaser XP, and case coins compared to yesterday. Energy makes it feel like a standard microtransaction heavy mobile game. The option to pay was always there, just never too badly in my face. Now it’s your standard pay to win.
Game does not load
The bar appears but stay at 10% and only stays there. I could even start the game
Too many ads
Don’t need an advertisement after every game
Eurocentric to the extreme
At least 75% of the questions are for European players, especially with questions about sports, the arts, royalty and history. American players will be reduced to guessing most of the time.

Mid game for non-UK players
It was an alright game to watch on TV but the app is definitely a money-grab (which is what I wanted to avoid when playing a game).)
And if you’re not from the UK or Europe you’ll have more than the intended amount of difficulty answering questions as most of them are related to things specific to British culture. I’ve never seen a cricket game in my entire life but I’m supposed to know who led some team back in 1964?
Once you unlock most/all of the regular characters you’ll just be competing for “pieces” to unlock cases to give you more “pieces” for characters you’ve already leveled up to the max.
Their new battle feature worked well at the start but then they intentionally made the computer players assisting you take longer than 5 seconds to answer questions so now unless you’re answering all the questions yourself you’ll lose. What’s the point of using the computer players on your team if they’re useless?
Also, every time you reach a new city it costs you exponentially more in game money to buy the cases they sell in the store. This leaves you to play more “chases” which uses more “energy” and since you don’t get enough to play 5 games in a day (to complete your daily goals) you need to spend real money to buy energy.
Like I said, it’s a money grab.
I communicated with the game developers about my multiple concerns. They responded by offering me an insultingly low amount of game energy credits and assured me of changes they’d be implementing “soon”. Well, not soon enough. 2/5 stars.

I just want a simple game
I didn’t come here to level up, collect, or whatever added game mechanics they put in here. I just want to play a full game of “The Chase” and it randomly picks whatever Chaser like the TV show does. Why make this difficult?
