The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive number of ads, which disrupt gameplay and obscure important features. Players express frustration over ads appearing after nearly every action, including deaths and menu navigation, and many request an option to pay for ad removal. While some acknowledge the need for monetization, the current implementation is seen as intrusive and detrimental to the overall gaming experience.
- “I love how there are no ads when you're in the middle of a fight with Frisk. The graphics are very good, but it is hard to get into the game because you need to earn XP. It's a good game.”
- “This is a mobile port of a game you can download on Game Dope called Sans vs. Frisk, and it has no ads. It's puzzling why you would port a game you can play on your computer to mobile and add ads to it; you just ruined it.”
- “The game is good enough that I would pay for an ad-free experience; however, there is no option to do so.”
- “The game is overrun with ads, typos, and various other issues.”
- “I'll have more time watching ads than actually playing. I open the game, ad, I enter the store, ad. It's especially horrible in the genocide mode; at random times there's an ad and you can't even have the option to turn them off with a payment.”
- “It's a great game, but this game spams ads as much as Sans spams his blasters. Plus, there is no way to remove them; even money can't remove them, so please add a 'remove ads' button and don't make it ridiculously expensive or I will uninstall this otherwise beautiful masterpiece of a game.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun mechanics, character variety, and engaging challenges, making it appealing to fans of Undertale. However, players frequently report significant issues with bugs, intrusive ads, and a lack of tutorials, which detract from the overall experience. While the graphics and controls receive positive feedback, many users express frustration over gameplay interruptions and the need for more character options and updates.
- “The gameplay is fun and challenging, and there's a lot of incentive to play for a long time.”
- “I love the gameplay designs and the attack options, it's incredible.”
- “This game is the best Undertale fan-game out there, from its unique gameplay and challenging difficulty, it makes for a nice pass-time and is a good game in general.”
- “I would have given this a 5 out of 5 if it wasn't for the absolutely insane ad problem; every 20 to 30 seconds of gameplay, I have an ad.”
- “The game is filled with glitches and bugs, and they aren't like small and rare bugs; they appear every few seconds of my gameplay.”
- “It's so annoying and horrible; the gameplay is decent but not worth it when I have to watch ads every time I fight.”

- “I would rate it a 5 star but the major problem is... the music is copyrighted!”
- “Yep it is, it has been ripped straight from Undertale's soundtrack.”
- “It's pretty good but the music is bad, I can't get the 'spear of justice' I read the instructions but I still couldn't get it, and I'm still waiting for the new characters to use.”

The game's stability has been widely criticized, with numerous users reporting excessive bugs and glitches that significantly impact gameplay. Common issues include character freezing, problems with the character creator, and frequent crashes, particularly in the latest version (1.6). While players appreciate the game's concept and design, the persistent technical problems detract from the overall experience, leading many to suggest that the current version feels unfinished and should be treated as a beta.
- “It's really challenging on hard mode in the last level, but the game is good with no glitches and almost no ads.”
- “The game runs smoothly without any crashes, making for a stable and enjoyable experience.”
- “I appreciate how stable the game is; I haven't encountered any bugs or performance issues.”
- “The game is filled with glitches and bugs, and they aren't like small and rare bugs; they appear every few seconds of my gameplay.”
- “It's definitely one of the best Undertale fangames out there, but there is one issue: I have loved it since 1.3, but the current version (1.6) is very, very, very buggy and unfinished. I feel like 1.6 should be an optional beta and the normal version should be 1.4.”
- “Good game, but can be buggy to the point of annoyance. My run has been screwed up so many times because my character will not move, or the times where my character will not attack whatsoever and just gets killed by Frisk.”

The reviews highlight a strong desire for a more developed story mode, with players expressing frustration over the current lack of narrative depth and character backstories. Many fans suggest incorporating various routes (like pacifist and genocide) and additional missions to enhance engagement, while also calling for the inclusion of alternate universe (AU) characters and their unique storylines. Overall, while the game is enjoyed for its gameplay, the consensus is that a richer story experience would significantly improve player satisfaction.
- “It would be five stars if the story was a little bit longer, but I know it's a fan game and fan games are short. It's just a little too short and a little hard to get a skin.”
- “To be honest, I never played Undertale, but I think this will be better than the real Undertale if it had more of a story. To anyone reading my review, it's an absolutely wonderful game.”
- “I'd suggest a story mode where you play as monsters with the human gaining levels as they kill more. It would also just be Undertale as a monster.”
- “Story-wise, it's confusing.”
- “Good graphics and all that, but it's just like Undertale without a story.”
- “It would be five stars if the story was a little bit longer, but I know it's a fan game and fan games are short; it's just a little too short.”
