The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, competitive, and addictive, with engaging card mechanics that support various playstyles. However, players have noted issues such as connection problems, a lack of offline mode, and the need for more card options and upgrades to enhance depth. While the core mechanics show promise, some users feel the game is still rough around the edges and could benefit from better balancing and additional features.
“I've been playing nonstop for 2 days, here's the breakdown: pros are card mechanics support classic playstyles (agro, ramp, etc), hero mechanics are cool, quick matchmaking, and good scaling.”
“The gameplay is also great, nobody has a big advantage because of turn order because the second player starts with more gold.”
“The art is adorable and the gameplay is easy to understand. Thank you for making this game, Ninjakiwi - your community loves you!”
“For starters, I think the card collecting mechanic is terrible.”
“There is some promise of a good strategy game but it is blocked by connection issues and pay-to-win mechanics.”
“I am not a fan of the play mechanics... a little confusing.”

The game's story is criticized for being minimal and frustrating, with players facing unbalanced challenges and a lack of engaging single-player missions unless they pay extra. Many users report that the storyline is tedious and riddled with bugs, while the requirement for an internet connection limits offline play options. Overall, the narrative experience feels underdeveloped and lacks depth, leaving players wanting more.
“This game is awesome, but I find the AI in adventure mode is too difficult to beat. I can't even beat the first training mission; I was fighting Quincy with Quincy and had a MOAB down, but Quincy used 4 Storm of Arrows all in the same turn, destroying my MOAB and defeating me in the process.”
“Genuinely peak so far! I beat the story mode and I'm definitely going to try online, but I do feel it needs more features. I'm not sure why some of the PvE is locked behind paid access, but you can still get the hero for free, luckily.”
“The game has basically zero story or single-player missions without opening your wallet. The story that is there is unbelievably annoying; I got unlucky and for the entire storyline, opponents just deal 50 more damage. You can't reroll or change this without resetting the entire story.”
“All you do is play against bots in the story mode because there is no one to play against. There are like no heroes, the game is bland, and there's nothing really to do.”
“Gameplay is fun; however, the offline play has one 3-round 'story', and if you want more, it's $7 with no option to use in-game currency for it.”

The art style evokes nostalgia for fans of the franchise, and while the graphics are considered good, they are noted to be slightly inferior to those in BTD6. Players have expressed a desire for customizable graphic settings to enhance their experience further.
“I personally think the graphics are great, a little bright, but still great.”
“I love the graphics and everything; there's no problem with this game.”
“Good game with nice gameplay; the art style is nostalgic for some reason.”
“This game is so good, but can you add settings to adjust graphics in the battle?”

The monetization aspect of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the lack of pay-to-win elements and forced ads, others criticize it for heavy reliance on microtransactions, likening it to a cash grab. Overall, the presence of an active development team is noted positively, but concerns about monetization tactics persist.
“Very fun but has tons of microtransactions like Hearthstone or Legends of Runeterra.”
“Another cash grab monkey game.”
“Would be an awesome game, but the monetization tactics are horrible yet unsurprising.”
“Feels like a cash grab.”

“The cross-progression is buggy.”
“Very promising, fun gameplay, but it needs the option to reconnect to a game shortly after disconnecting; it is also very buggy.”

Overall, players find the game's optimization lacking, particularly in terms of battery consumption and balance issues among cards. While the gameplay is enjoyable, there are significant concerns regarding performance and progression that need addressing.
“The game is really fun so far, but the progression could be a little more balanced. It absolutely drains my phone battery, so optimization in that area would be appreciated.”
“There are definitely balance issues, as some of the non-basic cards are either underwhelming or overpowered. For example, the Jungle's Bounty Druid is too strong; it should heal less to maintain balance.”
“For the launch of a Ninja Kiwi game, it's actually pretty good, but there's room for improvement in optimization and balance.”
“Really fun so far, but the progression could be a little more balanced. It absolutely destroys my phone battery, so maybe it could be optimized there. There are definitely balance issues because quite a few of the non-basic cards are either underpowered or way too good. For the launch of a Ninja Kiwi game, it's actually pretty good.”
“The game itself is great and I'm happy it's finally out, but the optimization is pretty bad.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game, particularly the need to buy items solely to earn currency for crafting cards, to be a tedious and unappealing choice. While some enjoy the game overall, the farming required for crafting is often viewed as a frustrating experience.
“Buying something only to gain currency to craft cards is just such a weird choice, and I don't think many people will enjoy grinding the game like that.”
“I have played this game on Steam and I find it pretty good, even if I find the farming for crafting cards pretty tedious.”
