Gameplay is generally criticized for its lack of variety and repetitive mechanics, leading to a sense of boredom over time. While the game features enjoyable story elements and solid mechanics, many players feel that the reliance on microtransactions detracts from the overall experience, making it feel unbalanced and frustrating. Despite some tactical opportunities in equal-strength scenarios, the gameplay often devolves into a cookie-cutter approach, diminishing the challenge and engagement.
- “The game has good mechanics and nice graphics.”
- “Premium classes: halberd and crossbow - it doesn't render the old classes useless, spices gameplay a bit.”
- “Recommend to all who like Shop Titans, but want way better combat mechanics.”
- “On the rare occasions when strength is equal, you can do some tactical gameplay, but after a while, most fights are the same, so it's not a challenge; you just repeat the cookie-cutter build.”
- “But you can kind of get what the game is about in 3-4 hours of gameplay, and it's free, but I recommend you don't even try it because you might pay for this gacha game and later realize that even by paying, it's not worth the investment or effort.”
- “I'm tired of microtransaction-heavy games giving bland, basic, and untuned gameplay, which forces you to buy stuff.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their quality, featuring a beautiful art style and nice cartoon visuals that enhance the medieval atmosphere. While the overall graphical design is well-received, some users noted that the PC interface could be improved for better usability.
- “The art style and graphical designs are of good quality.”
- “Awesome game, crossplay available, medieval atmosphere and nice cartoon graphics.”
- “A beautiful game with a stunning art style.”
- “The PC UI and graphics are exactly the same as mobile, so some UI elements could have been improved. For example, instead of clicking and dragging to move around town, you should just be able to move the mouse to the edge to navigate.”

- “The only downfall is that the gameplay is not really varied from what I've seen so far, but the storyline is enjoyable and the mechanics are wonderful.”

Reviews on optimization are mixed; while some users report no performance issues, others criticize the game for being poorly optimized to encourage additional spending, leading to a frustrating experience that feels unworthy of its price.
- “I haven't come across any performance issues.”
- “The game runs smoothly on my system, even at high settings.”
- “Optimization is top-notch; I can play for hours without any lag.”
- “It is optimized to be as crappy as possible to entice you to pay and pay and pay. What happened to the days when you got a ton of playability for $60 instead of this barely playable experience and them wanting $10 constantly?”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, particularly for those who play casually for just a few hours a day, as it often leads to being outmatched by increasingly difficult enemies. While the game is designed for mobile and has a solid grinding foundation, acquiring cosmetic items remains challenging, even for those willing to spend money, making the overall experience feel tedious.
- “If you don't plan to play PvP and just want to play 1-2 hours per day, I wouldn't recommend it because you will spend the majority of your time grinding; otherwise, you will be stat-checked really hard by increasingly difficult enemies.”
- “Except for the skin event (1 or 2 weeks time), playing for free, I don't think you'll get any skins. Even if you spend some money, it's still grindy, and you're just losing out on cosmetics (weapons and armor are in different chests).”
- “It is built for mobile, yes, but as a grinding-based game, it is not bad.”
