The gameplay is generally praised for being fun and addictive, with engaging card mechanics and quick matchmaking, though some players find it lacking depth and balance due to connection issues and pay-to-win elements. While the core mechanics are enjoyable and reminiscent of previous titles, concerns about card accessibility and the need for an internet connection for most features detract from the overall experience. Players appreciate the competitive nature and unique aspects of the game, but many express a desire for improvements in deck-building options and offline play.
“I've been playing nonstop for 2 days; the pros are that card mechanics support classic playstyles (agro, ramp, etc.), hero mechanics are cool, quick matchmaking, and good scaling.”
“I love how this game is completely different from BTD6 in gameplay, yet has similar monkeys and bloons along with some new cards.”
“The gameplay is also great; nobody has a big advantage because of turn order since the second player starts with more gold.”
“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 noting a lack of single-player missions unless they pay extra. Many find the existing storyline annoying and unbalanced, particularly due to opponents dealing excessive damage without the option to adjust difficulty. Overall, the narrative experience is described as bare-bones and lacking engaging content, leading to a disappointing gameplay experience.
“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 I had a MOAB down, but Quincy used four 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 game's optimization has received mixed feedback, with players noting significant battery drain and balance issues among card strengths. While the overall experience is enjoyable, there are calls for improvements in both performance and gameplay balance.
“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, and it absolutely destroys my phone battery. Maybe it could be optimized there. Also, 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 tedious and unappealing. While some enjoy the game overall, the farming required for crafting is often viewed as a frustrating chore.
“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.”
