The monetization strategy of the game primarily revolves around ads, which players find to be a double-edged sword; while many appreciate the ability to earn coins through watching ads, a significant number express frustration over the frequency and duration of these ads, often describing them as intrusive and time-consuming. Some players suggest that the option to pay for an ad-free experience would enhance their enjoyment, while others note that the rewards for watching ads can be substantial, making the ads somewhat tolerable. Overall, the consensus is that while the monetization through ads is effective in providing resources, it detracts from the overall gameplay experience for many users.
“Wow, this is the best shooting and fighting game I've ever seen, and the best part is that there are no ads unless you want them.”
“This game is so good; you can play online or offline with no ads bothering you.”
“No ads, nice graphics.”
“I lost millions of gold from watching ads and grinding.”
“Gameplay wise, this game is 3 stars worst, however there's just so much missed opportunities for a better game, first, it randomly kicks you off at the middle of your 5th 'online' match, and second, it tries to manipulate people to watch their ads, if that's the case, then this is more jam-packed with ads than 'Kick the Buddy', but if it's not the case, there's an amount of ads that still is tolerable but annoying to some, and now at the end of a match it softlocks you forcing you to reopen the game.”
“Too many ads and the ads are very time-consuming.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun mechanics, addictive nature, and solid customization options, though some players express concerns about balance, lag, and a lack of variety in maps and game modes. While many enjoy the smooth controls and rewarding experience, issues such as high in-game prices, frequent ads, and occasional crashes detract from the overall enjoyment. Suggestions for improvement include adding more maps, enhancing graphics, and refining controls to elevate the gameplay experience further.
“Great gameplay, and the mechs customization is also pretty good with secondary weapons, equipment, mechs archetype, etc. The rewards are also pretty generous and it is far from pay to win.”
“This is truly one of the best games I have played on mobile. With all the modes, you will never get bored, and the gameplay and controls are simple. I would recommend this game to people that like arcade and action games.”
“Great gameplay, charming graphics, and generous prices make for an almost perfect game!”
“Gameplay-wise, this game is 3 stars at best; however, there are so many missed opportunities for a better game. First, it randomly kicks you off in the middle of your 5th 'online' match, and second, it tries to manipulate people into watching ads. If that's the case, then this is more jam-packed with ads than 'Kick the Buddy.' Even if it's not the case, the amount of ads is still tolerable but annoying to some. Now, at the end of a match, it softlocks you, forcing you to reopen the game.”
“Not every function is bound to a button, and sometimes the left thumbstick can do more than one function at the same time (move player and navigate buttons in HUD), interrupting your intended gameplay at times.”
“The reason why I gave this game a 3-star rating is because the gameplay and controls are hard to use, and there are no tutorials to teach us how to play at all.”

“Love the game, but at mission 52 in the campaign, the game crashes all the time. Please try to fix it!”

“Great, until I'm getting one-shot killed by mechs I can't possibly compete with without either grinding or paying up.”
“It is a pretty good game, but things get so expensive (especially units, their price should have just increased by 1000 coins additively instead of exponentially) to the point where it becomes pay-to-win or infinite grinding.”
