The story in the game is described as minimal and somewhat lackluster, primarily revolving around a quest to retrieve stolen eggs and loot after freeing a wizard. While the classic Angry Birds narrative is present, many players find the gameplay grindy, requiring repetitive mission replays to progress, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, some reviewers appreciate the RPG elements and consider it one of the better mobile RPGs available, though they desire more depth and additional content.
- “I enjoy a good story, if the gameplay is not too grindy.”
- “You will find yourself on a quest to get back eggs and loot stolen from the birds after you free the wizard.”
- “What follows is rather a long series of levels consisting of little to no story and acceptable turn-based combat.”
- “The storyline is classic Angry Birds.”
- “Just to beat the next mission to progress in the game, you have to replay previous missions multiple times just to get enough money to buy better stuff to go further.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting the prevalence of in-app purchases and excessive ads, particularly pop-up ads between levels. While spending money is not mandatory to enjoy the game, players feel that it significantly enhances the experience, especially for accessing better classes and items. Overall, the aggressive monetization tactics detract from the gameplay experience, leading to frustration among users.
- “I gave this 4 stars because it's a fun game that can be played well after the main gameplay is finished, but you can easily spend some serious cash with in-app purchases if you choose to; it's not mandatory to play.”
- “Still, we were able to work together and never used in-app purchases.”
- “Just wish Rovio would ease up on all the in-app purchases.”
- “The only downside is that there are ads everywhere, especially popup ads that appear in between levels.”
- “My only problems with it are that the game has a lot of in-game purchases, and unless you are fine with less class variety, you almost have to pay money to get better classes.”
- “A good game, but the ads are very excessive; it crashes frequently and the most interesting parts of the game (item sets, a few of the classes, etc.) cost so many gold coins that you won't get them unless you spend a lot of real money or spam friends on Facebook.”

The gameplay is characterized by a linear structure that limits creativity, particularly in boss battles where specific character combinations are required for success, undermining character progression. While the mechanics are generally solid and easy to understand, some players find the gameplay grindy and marred by technical issues like crashes. Overall, the game offers a fun and addictive experience, especially with its vibrant characters and unique attack systems, but it may not sustain long-term engagement due to its limitations and free-to-play model.
- “As previously stated, the game's mechanics are relatively simple and easy to grasp, and the colorful Angry Birds characters add a fun, lively atmosphere to the game.”
- “Mechanics are very solid, with the class system defining what attacks each character can do, and a unique 'special attack' system that I've not seen in my very limited view of RPGs.”
- “The gameplay is very solid, the graphics are great, and the game itself is fun and addictive.”
- “Linear gameplay: at times there are only certain combos of characters that can defeat an enemy, which stunts any type of creativity for many boss battles as you're required to use what 'works' instead of bringing your best characters forward, defeating the purpose of character progression.”
- “I think the free-to-play model is just too much… the mechanics are all okay in isolation, but for this kind of game I don’t want to put in the time for such a limited payoff.”
- “But it has had crashing problems lately, which ruin gameplay.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some find it manageable and well-balanced for crafting resources, others feel it can become excessively tedious, especially when trying to obtain premium items or upgrades without spending real money. The necessity of grinding for health potions and equipment is noted, but it's not always essential for progression. Additionally, the reliance on social features for currency and character strength can create an uneven experience for those not using Facebook friends.
- “I enjoy a good story, as long as the gameplay isn't too grindy.”
- “The grinding in this game feels rewarding and keeps me engaged.”
- “I appreciate how the grind leads to meaningful progression and character development.”
- “The brokenness is real in this game. Furthermore, to make the anvil/cauldron not broken, you need to get the golden and diamond versions. You know what they cost? Lucky coins. You know how to get lucky coins? Either farming, which takes an extremely long time, or buy them... with cash... which is not even worth it. Battles become nearly impossible.”
- “If you don't use Facebook friends, you get a lot less of the game's best currency. There are many areas of the game you cannot access without spending a lot of money, and you'll basically never afford all of the class, crafting, and item upgrades (literally years of daily grinding doing it without money or Facebook).”
- “It works really well, despite making the game feel a bit grindy if you want lots of health potions (banana smoothies) or the best equipment, but that's not necessary to move forward in the game.”
