The monetization strategy of the game primarily revolves around optional ads that players can choose to watch for bonuses, which many users appreciate as it allows for reasonable progression without mandatory spending. However, there are significant complaints about the frequency and length of ads, with some players feeling overwhelmed by the number of ads and frustrated by technical issues that prevent them from watching ads for rewards. Additionally, the seasonal ad removal pass has been criticized for not being a permanent solution, leading to dissatisfaction among players who feel pressured to spend money to avoid ads.
“Fantastic arcade game, obviously in-app purchases but great little action game!”
“It's pretty much just like 'Archero', which I had spent about $1500 on in-game purchases about 2 years ago, so it's absolutely fun and addicting.”
“No ads, just fun experience; you guys need to download this.”
“Don't buy the pass to remove the ads because it only removes the ads for the 'season' which is like 17 days long.”
“I highly disagree with the offer to remove ads only for the season, as it should be permanent.”
“Not only do you have ads, you have paid currency that costs a fortune.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising them as "great," "fabulous," and "smooth," often noting that they are superior to similar titles. However, several users criticize the lack of originality, describing the visuals as merely a "copy and paste" from other games, particularly "Archero," and some mention issues with clarity in distinguishing between friendly and enemy attacks. Overall, while the graphics are generally well-received, they are often seen as unremarkable due to their derivative nature.
“The graphics are fabulous and crisp.”
“I really enjoy the graphics and how things are laid out from stage to stage.”
“The graphics look amazing; gameplay is stepped up big time.”
“In-your-face purchase options, negligent developers who only care about ratings, buggy app that doesn't allow account switches or restarts, terrible graphics where you can't differentiate attack from enemies from friendlies, too little energy, quickly lost interest.”
“A hundred percent imposter of Archero, only graphic different.”
“Blatantly plagiarized from Archero, only thing different is the graphics.”

The gameplay is generally described as fun, addictive, and smooth, with solid controls and appealing graphics. However, many reviewers note that it heavily borrows mechanics from the game Archero, leading to criticisms of a lack of originality and some frustrating design choices, such as restricted visibility and difficulty spikes. While some players appreciate the familiar mechanics, others express a desire for new features and improvements to enhance the overall experience.
“Gameplay is fun and addictive.”
“The control is good, the gameplay is interesting, and it's fully playable offline.”
“Great graphics and the gameplay is fun.”
“Make the game harder if you want to slow down progression; don't make it harder to play the game by obstructing the player's view. The gameplay is restricted to half the screen; it's a bad way to go about it.”
“It's a pure clone of Archero, slightly better graphics but the mechanics are identical.”
“Gameplay not unique at all.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent freezing, lagging, and glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly in the main menu and during interactions like claiming rewards. Many players express frustration over the inability to switch accounts or restart the app, alongside issues with energy replenishment and graphics clarity. While some users appreciate the game's potential, the overwhelming feedback highlights significant stability problems that detract from the overall experience.
“The game runs smoothly without any glitches.”
“Everything feels stable and well-optimized.”
“I haven't encountered any crashes or bugs during my playthrough.”
“This is probably the only review I'm going to do, but every time I try to play the game, it keeps freezing in the main menu. It's fine when I'm actually playing it, but every time I try to do more than one thing in the main menu, it freezes, and it's kind of aggravating. It's a cool game otherwise; if y'all could give me some help on this issue, that would be cool. Edit: I have an Aristo2.”
“Game freezes after a couple of minutes; can't even get past the tutorial.”
“After finishing the dungeon, it always freezes on a black screen.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it can feel excessive and often leads to a paywall that hinders progress without spending money. While some find the gameplay loop enjoyable enough to tolerate the grind, many still feel that the balance is skewed towards requiring significant time investment or financial expenditure to advance. Overall, the consensus is that while the game is fun, the grinding can be a major drawback.
“Paywall comes quick... no chance of grinding unless you plan to do that for a year or so... lucky wheel huge rip off... in 5 months I got maybe two silver keys... never ever won... even spent on that and nothing... I'm tired of free games that are impossible to advance without paying... this is the new way of ripping you off indirectly.”
“Though warning to free-to-play players, you will need a lot of grinding.”
“Too much grinding.”
