The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant visuals, detailed character designs, and charming art style, contributing to an overall appealing aesthetic. While some players appreciate the fun animations and smooth gameplay, a few express concerns about the default zoom settings and the art style not appealing to everyone.

- “The graphics, animations, artwork, and character design are all gorgeous!”

The monetization in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it reasonable for a free-to-play model, allowing for cosmetic purchases and character access without mandatory spending. However, many criticize it as overly aggressive and greedy, with in-app purchases permeating the experience and requiring significant grinding or real money to unlock additional characters. Overall, while some appreciate the option to earn certain items for free, the general sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the monetization practices.
- “The in-app purchases aren't all that bad either; you can get re-colors for your characters without paying money, so you don't even need to buy skins.”
- “Leaving a positive review because monetization is decent for a free-to-play game like this.”
- “This is a really fun game that, at the end of the day, is free to play and no one is forcing microtransactions on you. You can pay money for cosmetics and to access characters faster, and yeah, there's a battle pass, but how else do you expect them to make money to keep the game going?”
- “Every corner you turn, there’s an in-app purchase waiting to drain your wallet.”
- “The monetization is abysmal: you start with 1 fighter, the rest need to be purchased from the shop, cannot unlock through normal gameplay.”
- “The monetization for this game is honestly a little bit embarrassing where you either grind for weeks on end to get characters or have to buy them with real money.”

The storyline of Battle Crush is generally considered lackluster, with players noting that it fails to engage them beyond the initial missions. While the game features dynamic gameplay and impressive graphics, the focus on grinding for character unlocks and an overwhelming number of notifications detracts from any narrative depth. Overall, players feel that the story does not provide a compelling experience, making it a secondary aspect of the game.
- “Drawing parallels with other games in its genre, Battle Crush shines with its dynamic gameplay and detailed graphics, yet falls short in crafting an engaging storyline.”
- “(Maybe there's something different there as I haven't read the entire story, just the summarized point.)”
- “So, about the storyline… well, don’t get too excited.”
- “The nonstop notifications and hundreds of notifications and 'rewards' and missions is really unnecessary and brain-numbing.”
- “As for the character unlocking, it's not bad in terms of how long it takes with the beginner missions, but the fact that I had to go out of my way to figure out what the purple gems were for by needing to buy the soul fragments was very strange.”

Character development in the game is highlighted by its vibrant and creative character designs, particularly those inspired by mythology with a modern twist. However, some players feel that certain characters, like Hades, lack depth in their visual representation, suggesting that redesigns could better reflect their personalities and traits. Additionally, there is a desire for more gameplay variety through alternative styles and designs for characters, which could enhance the overall experience.
- “The art style is beautiful and fun, and most of the character designs are creative and varied.”
- “Vibrant graphics and well-executed character design.”
- “The graphics, animations, artwork, and character design are all gorgeous!”
- “I think it would add a bit more variety if characters had at least one alternative gameplay style, which could be represented by an alternate weapon, stance, and/or maybe even differences in character design. For example, Poseidon's main gameplay could be represented by her default style and dual tridents, while the alternate one could be represented by one long trident and maybe pigtails.”
- “My focus is on Hades' character design. He doesn't show his loneliness as all that openness and spiky armor takes away from his unique portrayal as a god. He's supposed to be an introverted individual, yet his design is too open in clothing. His skeletal motif works for the god of the underworld, but the shapes portray an individual who mostly keeps to himself in body type. However, his clothing makes him look too much like a tyrant rather than what is described. I would recommend redesigning him with a clean hood and small gifts on it to better portray his solitude and attitude.”
- “UI, camera, character design... all just worse.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the punchy sound effects and intensity of the background music, others find it repetitive and overly cartoonish, leading to annoyance and the need to mute it. Overall, the music appeals to a niche audience, with some enjoying its style while others criticize its lack of variety.
- “The sound effects are punchy enough to make you feel every hit, and the background music ramps up the intensity without being too distracting.”
- “The music's so my style lol.”
- “Music is nice, visuals are nice.”
- “Annoying music and sounds with a very cartoon-like vibe for 10-year-olds.”
- “Please, the music... for some reason is annoying. I had to mute the music because it was too much.”
- “The music is repetitive and loops constantly.”

The humor in the game is characterized by its chaotic and frenetic nature, blending dark comedy with unpredictable moments that arise from gameplay mechanics. Players find both the game's charm and the amusingly negative reviews entertaining, highlighting a mix of cute characters and skill-based challenges that contribute to its comedic appeal. Overall, the humor is a significant draw, enhancing the fun experience.
- “Maybe it's the chaotic fun, the dark humor, or just our masochistic tendencies.”
- “It's got cute characters, simple and fun combat, and unpredictable hilarious moments created by jumping, falling ground, and stamina mechanics.”
- “These negative reviews are so funny; literally half of them are skill issues. The game is not pay-to-win, and paying $30 for all characters (which you can also unlock with in-game currency) is not much.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, especially after initial rewards, as they must accumulate gold to purchase heroes. However, some argue that the inclusion of Battlepass levels providing gold mitigates the grind, making it less burdensome than perceived. The presence of bots farming rewards also contributes to the overall experience, but the necessity to either grind or spend real money for heroes remains a common concern.
- “Once you got the first few beginner mission rewards, you're grinding your soul away trying to get enough gold to buy a hero (or calixer, as they call it).”
- “It's a cool fast-paced casual game, my only issue is that you will need to buy the heroes just like League, either with real money (aka Riot Points or gems) or by grinding for the in-game currency.”
- “Already filled with bots that are farming rewards.”

The optimization of the game is criticized for its clunky performance, with frequent issues such as skills failing to activate correctly, activating multiple times, or missing targets despite being within range. Overall, players find the gameplay experience to be significantly hindered by these optimization problems.
- “Clunky performance; sometimes skills don't activate properly, sometimes they activate twice, sometimes they are cancelled, and sometimes they magically miss even though the enemy is clearly inside the hitbox (server issues? I don't know).”
- “The gameplay and optimization are too poor.”
