Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring excessive resource farming for crafting and progression.

Suggestions for improvement include making resource gathering more engaging and reducing the time spent on grinding to enhance gameplay enjoyment.
- “I love the fact it is not grindy like Heroes and Generals, although the persistence of Heroes is fantastic.”
- “It's pretty bland, with emphasis on grinding loot/map-spawning resources in order to produce vehicles (more grinding required to keep them supplied).”
- “The concept of having to craft weapons is interesting for a few hours, but then you realize you are grinding.”
- “It takes an average of 15-20 minutes of grinding for resources than playing the gun game.”

The monetization model of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it as a cash grab due to the prevalence of microtransactions and pay-to-win mechanics. Users express frustration over intrusive ads and the lack of meaningful content without additional payments, leading to a negative perception of the game's value. Overall, the consensus is that the monetization strategy detracts from the gameplay experience, with calls for a more player-friendly approach.
- “A hidden gem; if you removed microtransactions, added an anti-cheat, and improved the graphics, it would easily be an 8/10. For now, it's a 6/10, but still way better than the paid sequel.”
- “Soldner Secret Wars Community Edition (which plays just like the Battlefield series games) is a completely free game with no microtransactions or DLC! It runs much better than this game and is loaded with vehicles!”
- “Not bad; just remove microtransactions.”
- “Now the game is dead, goodbye to the starter packs and stuff like that. This game was a pure cash grab and the devs should be ashamed of publishing such a fraud of a game.”
- “Don't pay for any of this. The game is pretty much dead, was broken for a long time, and used the funds to create a new game they can exploit for microtransactions. I bet it sold a bunch of DLC during this winter sale, and sorry to anyone who can't get a refund.”
- “Bottom line is that this game is a cash grab, cheaply assembled in the Unreal Engine 4 with almost no effort made by the developers themselves. They bought all of their game content off the web.”
