  • monetization
    71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the prevalence of ads and microtransactions. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others find the forced ads intrusive and frustrating, leading to a negative impact on gameplay. Overall, the game is seen as having potential but is hindered by aggressive monetization practices that may deter players from fully enjoying the experience.

    • “The game's fun and has no ads you are forced to watch; instead, you use the ads for chests or other types of treasures.”
    • “No ads unless you activate one for bonus coins and such.”
    • “Enjoyable though it is held back by a very difficult upgrading system and the constant push of in-app purchases.”
    • “I wouldn't spend money on the game though as I don't think the developers patch the game and some features like watching ads for rewards are straight up not working at all.”
    • “Loaded with microtransactions and difficult to play unless you continually pay money.”
    • “This game has extremely predatory monetization practices, be aware... I fell into the trap and had to pull out after I spent $40 for this 'free' app.”
  • graphics
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the beautiful art style, smooth visuals, and nostalgic retro aesthetics. However, some users report issues such as lag, graphical glitches, and a desire for improved character sprites. Overall, while the graphics are often highlighted as a strong point, technical problems detract from the experience for some players.

    • “Its graphics are beautiful and the creativity put into the levels is clearly thought out.”
    • “The music is awesome, the combat is super satisfying, the graphics are off the charts, and the controls are very solid.”
    • “A fun and entertaining experience with an amazing pixel art style and extremely relaxing, along with a surprising amount of depth.”
    • “In general, I like the game, but as soon as I'm in for more than 5 minutes after the tutorial, the game's graphics keep messing up.”
    • “It just went completely black... I cannot see the graphics at all.”
    • “Graphics are very bad; I am thinking that I am playing a 2D video game.”
  • gameplay
    59 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is widely praised for its fun, easy-to-learn controls, and engaging mechanics, reminiscent of classic beat 'em ups. While many players appreciate the graphics and music, some express concerns about repetitive gameplay, pay-to-win elements, and performance issues on mobile devices. Overall, the game offers a satisfying experience, though it is marred by certain monetization practices and technical glitches.

    • “Great beat 'em up with easy to learn controls, awesome gameplay, graphics, and music.”
    • “The game flows well (in both graphics and gameplay) and the combos are pretty satisfying to pull off.”
    • “Amazing gameplay! This is the best side-scrolling fight game ever!”
    • “It also has a scummy pay-to-win mechanic where you can't advance unless you pay after a few levels.”
    • “Gameplay does get repetitive fast and there's not really a point in playing.”
    • “Also, there are several instances where severe FPS drops are encountered mid-gameplay.”
  • music
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its quality, with many users describing it as "amazing," "bangers," and reminiscent of classic retro soundtracks. However, several players have reported technical issues, such as overlapping tracks and music not playing at all, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these bugs, the soundtrack contributes positively to the game's charm and enjoyment.

    • “The music is awesome, the combat is super satisfying, the graphics are off the charts, and the controls are very solid.”
    • “Amazing mobile brawler, very creative control scheme, good visual designs and music!”
    • “The soundtrack is amazing and the gameplay awesome.”
    • “I was on my next mission, and music and sound effects completely went off.”
    • “Really fun beat 'em up game, not too grindy either, and pretty good for a free-to-play model without being too stingy. However, the game is really buggy; I've had multiple instances of the menu music not turning off and playing during missions, overlapping the theme, and even during the menu itself. Another issue is that the pause menu during missions is basically broken and always leads to a crash. Fix the bugs and a 5-star rating will be given.”
    • “Very poorly developed game... consumes too much battery, even more than PUBG. The game slows down after watching ads, and the music also overlaps. I see a lot of bugs; it doesn't look like the game was tested before launching.”
  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, with players appreciating its engaging narrative and character development. However, technical issues such as bugs and energy limitations hinder the overall experience, causing frustration when trying to progress through the story or complete missions.

    • “It's amazing with the gameplay and the story!”
    • “Great gameplay and story, love this game.”

  • optimization
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received significant criticism, particularly on mobile devices, with users reporting consistent lag, stuttering, and performance issues, especially on older or less powerful phones. While some players appreciate the one-handed control design, many find the overall experience hindered by poor optimization, leading to frustration and unplayability on certain devices. Overall, the game appears to struggle with performance across a range of hardware, indicating a need for better optimization.

    • “So far the controls work amazing, really cool they optimized it with one hand in mind.”
    • “There are very slight performance hiccups even on a SD845, but it's not much of an issue.”

    • “I will be uninstalling due to performance on my phone (>4 NPCs slow it down), will try on tablet.”
    • “For a 2D game, I was surprised when it was lagging and stuttering.”

  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the game enjoyable, especially for a free-to-play model, but opinions on grinding are mixed. While some appreciate the initial fun, many note that the game becomes increasingly grindy due to repetitive events and a burdensome upgrade system, leading to frustration with character evolution and ad interruptions. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a significant drawback that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Really fun beat 'em up game, not too grindy either, and pretty good for a free-to-play model without being too stingy.”
    • “It's a fun game at first, but then it becomes increasingly grindy as you have to evolve characters, and the events are so repetitive and boring.”
    • “Gesture controls sometimes get things wrong, and it seems like raising new characters is a huge grinding burden.”
    • “It starts off okay, but it really becomes grindy because of the upgrade system and star unlock pattern.”
  • stability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally enjoyable and well-received, but it suffers from significant stability issues, including persistent bugs that affect the menu and gameplay, such as overlapping music and crashes when accessing the pause menu. Players have reported slowdowns and glitches, particularly at higher levels, indicating a need for urgent fixes to enhance the overall experience.

    • “However, the game is really buggy; I've had multiple instances of the menu music not turning off and playing during missions, overlapping the theme, and the pause menu during missions is basically broken and always leads to a crash.”
    • “Love the game, but ever since last night, whenever I press my action buttons at higher levels, it slows down and acts buggy.”
    • “Best game, but it has too many glitches. Please fix it ASAP.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express a desire for enhanced replayability through more complex fighting mechanics and additional playable characters, particularly furries, in potential console versions of the game. Overall, the current replayability is seen as lacking, with hopes for improvements in future updates.

    • “If there is a console version, I really hope that the game has more complex fighting and that there are a bunch of ways for replayability at the end.”
    • “The only detractor I can really give it is that there should be more playable characters in the game.”
