The grinding aspect of the game is frequently criticized, with many players finding it tedious and time-consuming, often feeling forced to pay for faster progression. While some updates have made leveling slightly more manageable, the overall experience remains heavily grind-oriented, leading to a mix of frustration and enjoyment for those who appreciate such gameplay.
“Gets really grindy, really quickly.”
“I should've read reviews before downloading... this is a franchised version of 'We Are Warriors.' They make gameplay so tedious and slow that you are forced to pay for the game to be at a normal speed. There is no quick upgrade, so you're left to click, click, click. Even when you beat the current age, you still have to replay it again and again to save gold before you can pay to advance.”
“It's fun at first, but soon enough it gets incredibly grindy and takes too long.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating its intensity and strategic fit, while others express frustration over the absence of music and sound effects, indicating that it detracts from the overall experience. Several users report issues with audio not functioning properly, leading to a lack of engagement with the game's atmosphere. Overall, the consensus suggests that the inclusion of music could significantly enhance the gameplay experience.
“Very strategic and very intense; the music adds to the experience. I like it! It's like Stick War Legacy, but the skins are pay-to-win. It's just fun, you know?”
“The only thing it needs to be perfect is music.”
“The music really enhances the gameplay experience.”
“I have no music even though I put my volume to max and the in-game volume on as well. The second reason is because of the range difference; the stormtrooper with a gun or something when I was fighting the tank on area 5, I couldn't really hit it. I don't know why, but the splash damage literally reaches the back of the other soldier. It doesn't just splash with the front; it also does it in the back. It's not really fair. Hopefully, you fix it.”
“It makes me mad that it doesn't even have music or sound effects. I don't know if mine is broken, but my volumes are at max and I still couldn't hear a thing. Please fix it.”
“Just area damage is overpowered; music and sound don't work.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its misleading mission rewards and lack of transparency regarding in-game advertisements, leading to frustration among players. Additionally, the narrative is overshadowed by poor game design and numerous bugs, detracting from the overall experience.
“Lies and deception; some missions claim they'll reward you 40 purple gems, but you only receive 5 or 10. Additionally, the ad icons to get free gold almost never appear, leaving you uncertain if it's truly free or just free with an ad. I'm pretty sure this is against some countries' laws. Beyond that, it's a garbage, lazy game full of bugs, poorly coded, and with poor game design.”
“You complete daily missions to gain improved attack boosts, but then you take the exact same damage against the exact same troops.”
