The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches and crashes that disrupt gameplay, particularly at higher levels. Many players express frustration over intrusive ads that appear mid-match, exacerbating the issues with control and performance. Overall, while the game has potential, its stability problems significantly detract from the user experience, leading to unplayability for many.
“It's a good concept but unfortunately I have to rate this 1 star, mainly due to the ads. One ad every two games is perfectly reasonable, I'll grant a little annoying since matches are only a minute or so long, but the fact that I have ads popping up right in the middle of a match is mildly infuriating. Not to mention that the controls are buggy at best; I've had it completely screw me over and stop working altogether, and my archers end up aimlessly running into a wall in the corner of the map.”
“Unplayable, this is a simple and fun game but too many ads make the game unenjoyable and it glitches so much that you can't even control your movements.”
“I love playing the game but every time I get to level 185 the game freezes. I have to delete it for my apps and reinstall. When are you going to fix this?”
