Gameplay in Alpha League is characterized by its fast-paced, strategic nature, enhanced by unique characters and roguelike mechanics that ensure each match feels fresh and unpredictable. While many players appreciate the engaging and addictive gameplay, some express concerns over recent balance changes that have diminished strategic depth and creativity. Overall, the game offers a solid foundation for tactical play, though there is a desire for more heroes and improved tutorials to enhance the experience further.
- “The fast-paced gameplay is engaging, and the unique characters make it stand out.”
- “Alpha League brings a fresh take to the auto chess genre by combining deep strategic gameplay with impressive world-building.”
- “The gameplay is quick, strategic, and keeps you engaged.”
- “Unfortunately, the last major patch (2.0 and 2.01) reworked the 'trait' system, which was intended to fix some of the character/card balancing issues and deviation from the economy-based gameplay. Instead, it nullified the need for card economy, build creativity, and character choice.”
- “The balancing is terrible; the latest patch only made the game significantly worse mechanically, and none of it is anything even approaching 'good' - but funny?”
- “Used to be a solid game with some flaws, but it's now ruined with an awful core mechanic that removes all semblance of strategy in favor of spamming level-ups without any care whatsoever about anything else.”

The graphics of Alpha League have received mixed reviews, with many players praising the significant improvements in visuals and UI since its launch, describing them as stunning and immersive. However, some users still find the base graphics unappealing and criticize the use of low-quality assets, leading to a divided opinion on the overall graphical quality. Overall, while the game has made notable strides in graphics and UI, opinions vary widely, with some players enjoying the enhancements and others feeling disappointed.
- “The stunning graphics and fluid animations make the game world come to life, and the roguelike mechanics add an exciting layer of unpredictability.”
- “The graphics in Alpha League are incredible!”
- “The stunning visuals and fluid animations make every match a joy to play.”
- “For how bad some of the base graphics are, it's hard to want to spend money, especially considering how much they are asking for some things.”
- “- graphically unappealing with terrible UI/tooltips.”
- “Honestly, the gameplay mechanics and idea aren't bad; hero-based teamfight tactics can be fun, but it's just so hard to play when it looks that bad. Even if it's using free assets, there are so many better free assets that could have been used. This looks absolutely heinous. Also, there's a gacha selling skins, which is wild considering that the game looks horrendous because it's most likely using like 90% free assets. Selling skins in that state is crazy and makes me lose hope that they will improve the graphics anytime soon.”

The humor in Alpha League is a standout feature, with players finding it hilariously entertaining when approached as a lighthearted experience rather than a competitive one.

- “Alpha League is the perfect game to play with one or more friends after several hours of playing some other, significantly better game, when you need something you can stop thinking about and start laughing at.”
- “At the tail end of your next gaming session, I urge you to load this game up with a friend or two who's willing to take a chance on something silly, pick any character, and start laughing your ass off at this total cluster of mechanics while the godawful voice lines written by an AI from 2008 play over your complete flailing inability to understand what's going on.”
