The grinding aspect of the game is a significant focus, with many players noting it as both a core mechanic and a potential source of frustration.

Overall, the game caters to those who appreciate grinding, but it may deter players who prefer quicker progression or dislike repetitive gameplay.

- “I really like it; it's easy to pick up and not too grindy.”
- “Most of my good memories are talking to my guildmates, not playing this game or grinding for literal hours for a few days straight when I'm pushing.”
- “Either sell your soul grinding for months or fork over hundreds of bucks - and still maybe not get it.”
- “This game is very, very grindy and if you are not ready for a year+ of grinding nonstop to reach halfway through the game, I would not recommend playing.”
- “The only real problem I have is the fact that there is an auto button which automatically fights for you, implying grinding.”

The gameplay of Bit Heroes is characterized by its nostalgic 8-bit style and engaging dungeon-crawling mechanics, offering a mix of fun and grind that appeals to casual players. While the game features interesting mechanics and a friendly community, it is marred by extreme pay-to-win elements, low drop rates, and a reliance on energy mechanics that can lead to repetitive and mindless gameplay. Overall, it provides a decent experience for those who enjoy simple RPG mechanics, but the monetization strategies may detract from the enjoyment for some players.
- “Bit Heroes is a surprisingly fun mix of old-school dungeon crawling and modern mobile RPG mechanics.”
- “The game shines with its nostalgic 8-bit style, humor, and lighthearted approach to classic RPG mechanics.”
- “Bit Heroes Quest is a charming retro-style RPG with addictive dungeon-crawling mechanics and pixel art.”
- “Throw in unexplained game mechanics, low drop rates, and compulsory equipment that can only be purchased with gems or real money.”
- “The gameplay loop is just waiting.”
- “The energy mechanic is also terrible; basically, every action you perform drains energy, which is recovered over time, and once you run out of energy, you literally have to wait a few hours to keep playing (or you could just buy more energy).”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the heavy reliance on microtransactions and a pay-to-win model that can hinder progression. While some appreciate the option to earn in-game currency through ads and find the game enjoyable without spending money, others feel that the aggressive monetization tactics and constant reminders of in-app purchases detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game is seen as a grind-heavy cash grab, particularly in its current state post-acquisition, with significant barriers for free-to-play players.

- “Extremely pay-to-win cash grab that is programmed to waste your time on purpose and does not respect your time if you are not paying.”
- “Game is locked behind a ton of monetization; the events are crammed with special limited-time offers and don't have their own place. A subscription system is required to get all the good stuff, and to play the game properly, you probably have to spend a good $100 a month.”
