The gameplay is generally described as fun and addictive, featuring engaging mechanics and a variety of strategic options. However, many players express frustration with numerous bugs, balancing issues, and a pay-to-win model that hampers progression and enjoyment. While the core gameplay loop is praised for its depth and smooth execution, the overall experience is often marred by technical problems and a lack of fairness in matchmaking.
- “Gameplay offers a surprising amount of depth and variety.”
- “The core gameplay loop and design concept is great so far, I'm liking it a lot!”
- “Fun and new gameplay, love it!”
- “The gameplay is similar to Hearthstone, but the rewards are so minuscule that you don't feel like there's any progression.”
- “Too many bugs and janky mechanics to be playable.”
- “Gameplay ends up getting repetitive because you either get a strong combo for the faction (only one or two each type) and win, or just lose because something randomly dumb happens and you waste 20 coins looking for a single usable card.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to the heavy reliance on microtransactions and the pay-to-win model, particularly at higher levels. While some appreciate the absence of forced ads and find the game somewhat free-to-play friendly, others criticize the slow progression and the need to purchase battle passes to remain competitive. Overall, the monetization approach appears to detract from the gameplay experience for a significant portion of the player base.
- “The game respects your time and money with no ads and reasonable prices on purchases.”
- “The game is fun and easy without all these giant microtransactions.”
- “Yes, there are pay-to-advance microtransactions that tarnish its image, but besides that, the core gameplay and design is a+.”
- “Having said that, I can't give it more than one star, as the game is a classic mobile cash grab.”
- “Forget about playing casually as you need to buy 2 battle passes every season to be able to get enough resources to properly compete and to skip ads.”
- “The real reason I'm rating so low is the disgusting monetization.”
stability

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent bugs, crashes, and glitches that hinder gameplay. While some players find the game enjoyable, the overwhelming presence of technical issues, such as freezing after wins and unresponsive menus, detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the slow response from support and the perception of prioritizing monetization over stability further exacerbate frustrations.
- “If you can get it to load, it's buggy as hell and closes out while it's trying to load something.”
- “Game is okay; some of the randomness is sometimes annoying, but worst of all is having ads and watching them and getting nothing because the game is buggy but counts as a watch, so no reward 80% of the time and can't try again because it's limited, making it toxic for anyone who wants that tiny boost.”
- “Buggy and crashes non-stop; can't even play the game. The update crashed so hard it crashed my phone. This isn't a game; it's a virus.”

Many users express frustration with the game's progression system, citing issues with gold acquisition and the time-gated nature of missions, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game is enjoyable, the balance between quest rewards and upgrade costs is seen as problematic, leading to calls for improvements in both storytelling and gameplay mechanics.
- “The game is pretty fun, problems being not enough quests to gain gold, or events.”
- “You can get all the content free by grinding quests or you can purchase the battle pass and get a huge head start on that but it is not pay to win.”

- “This level of greed is why Storybook Brawl died.”
