The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads and microtransactions. While some appreciate the optional nature of ads for rewards, others feel that the game heavily leans towards a pay-to-win structure, making progression difficult without spending real money. Overall, the consensus suggests that the monetization tactics can detract from the gameplay experience, with many labeling it a cash grab.
- “The game offers in-app purchases in a leisurely way, as you don't have to spend money in order to progress or enjoy the game, which I love about the in-app purchases.”
- “This is actually such a fun game; there aren't ads apart from the ones that give you rewards, and those ads are only 6 seconds long, so it's not that bad.”
- “Very fun, not pushy about in-app purchases either.”
- “Spent real money on this to then be hit with ads constantly to play the main campaign, uninstalling...”
- “Initially a cool concept and fun, but in no time at all it becomes an obvious cash grab scenario where you absolutely have to spend real money pretty much constantly if you want any chance of progressing or beating other players.”
- “The monetization system is questionable of course, it's pay-to-win and that is why I will not spend any money on it (I would happily have had the game as a premium title instead) and the game will get old quite fast for me because of that.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its smooth mechanics, strategic depth, and engaging core loop, making it enjoyable for both casual and dedicated players. However, many users express frustration with the heavy pay-to-win elements, unbalanced progression, and tedious grinding, particularly after reaching higher levels. While the graphics and overall design receive positive remarks, the monetization strategies and random loot mechanics detract from the overall experience for some players.
- “The core gameplay loop is great.”
- “Gameplay is smooth and it can be quite difficult at times for the right layout.”
- “I believe this is one of the few gems that deserve a 5-star because the core gameplay is fun and addictive.”
- “After hundreds of hours of gameplay, I barely reached troop level 11.”
- “Every upgrade you need to improve your army requires hours of waiting for a random chance that a unit you want would drop from a lootbox style of upgrade mechanics.”
- “However, when you get to about level 6 the grind just becomes tedious and strenuous, and the gameplay becomes less strategy and devolves into a giant rock-paper-scissors game.”

The reviews indicate that the game features significant grinding, particularly after reaching level 6, which many players find tedious and frustrating. While some enjoy the core gameplay and acknowledge that grinding can be manageable, the slow resource acquisition and high upgrade costs often lead to a pay-to-win perception, detracting from the overall enjoyment. Players express a desire for improvements to the grinding mechanics to enhance the experience without resorting to excessive time investment or monetary spending.
- “At first glance, it's great. However, after playing for a while, certain aspects become less enjoyable. Playtime is limited by waiting for wagons or pushing through, but you risk losing due to your rating. The upgrade costs escalate quickly while the income remains the same throughout the game. The good thing is that no grinding is needed; you just wait, wait, and wait.”
- “Thousands of hours of gameplay grinding to get unit shards and artifacts.”
- “However, when you get to about level 6 the grind just becomes tedious and strenuous, and the gameplay becomes less strategy and devolves into a giant rock-paper-scissors game.”
- “The grinding is not worth it; the gold we get from every win is very small compared to the price of upgrading units.”

The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with many players finding it amusing and entertaining, often describing it as "funny," "hilarious," and "cute." While some players note that the humor can wear thin over time, the game's funny animations, sound design, and quirky interactions contribute to a lighthearted experience that keeps many engaged. However, a few reviews mention that the humor doesn't fully compensate for gameplay frustrations, such as unbalanced mechanics and monetization issues.
- “I play a lot of phone games, I like to randomly download ones from ads or just anything from the store when I'm bored. Usually, I don't find anything good, but this is a very amusing game; it's violent but cute and funny at the same time, also the sound design?”
- “Nice game, love this type of games plus the humor. It said at some point 'Do you love Battle Legion?' I pressed yes and it said 'We love you too, here are 50 gems' lmao.”
- “So good I decided to support the developer... quick but still meaningful matches full of emotion and funny little interactions lol, I'm gonna make my friends play lol.”
- “In this way, it's not funny...”
- “The jokes fall flat and feel forced.”
- “I expected more clever humor, but it just didn't land.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for being minimal and primarily serving as a means to grind for player-versus-player (PvP) content, leading to a repetitive experience. Players express a desire for a dedicated story mode and more engaging narrative elements, as the current missions lack depth and replayability. While the game offers enjoyable mechanics and strategies, the absence of a compelling storyline detracts from its overall appeal.
- “Amazing game; however, it would be fun if you could add a storyline for players who want a break from PvP.”
- “One of the best games until you beat rank 5; then the story is over, only PvP left. Just enjoy until you beat rank 5, then uninstall.”
- “Amusing game, nice graphics and a fair number of units to use, but with auto battles and no story, it quickly becomes repetitive.”
- “One of the better free-to-play games I've seen so far, but there's not much content. The story is just a grind for cards for PvP, and gold is ridiculously scarce, making it difficult to upgrade more than 2-3 cards per day.”
- “Love to have some dialogue or story.”

- “Units are extremely buggy and inconsistent, which results in a frustrating experience.”

- “Also, the game has some sort of memory leak optimization issue.”
- “This game is painfully pay-to-win with a paywall that either wrecks your army or causes performance problems that will crash your phone.”
