The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches that disrupt gameplay, including freezing, unresponsive controls, and crashes that require app resets. Many players express frustration over the excessive number of ads, which exacerbate the instability, making the game nearly unplayable at higher levels. Overall, while the game has potential, its current state is marred by significant technical issues that detract from the experience.
“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, 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.”
“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?”
“This game glitches way too much and has way too many ads. I don't recommend this game at all, but it's fun in a bad way.”
