The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of forced ads and the option to watch ads for rewards. However, some users express frustration over recent updates that have increased ad frequency and introduced paywalls, making progression feel slow and sometimes requiring ad views to advance. Overall, while the game initially offered a fair balance between free play and optional monetization, recent changes have led to concerns about it becoming more of a cash grab.
- “The game is very fun, and I love the fact that there's no ads forced on you, just optional ones.”
- “Very little monetization, the gameplay is almost entirely skill-based, and the PvP runs super smooth with short wait times.”
- “Element of in-game purchase to enhance your gameplay; however, it's not needed at all. I have bought something in this game, and I find it fair and balanced with matchmaking, unlike other games which tend to be pay-to-win.”
- “With in-app purchases and often (due to glitches, not intended to be) unskippable ads, it's obvious the devs care about profit more than development.”
- “Game changed to a money-grabbing scheme and injected ads everywhere.”
- “You can't progress without watching ads; the gameplay is repetitive, the music is annoying, and there's a damn gold pass as the cherry on top.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun, engaging mechanics and charming visuals, with many players appreciating the strategic depth and variety of cards. However, there are significant concerns regarding balance, particularly with pay-to-win elements and matchmaking issues that can lead to frustrating experiences. While the core gameplay is addictive and well-designed, players express a desire for improvements in progression systems and the introduction of new game modes to enhance long-term engagement.
- “Pretty original, fun, constantly varying gameplay, plus a nice strategy element.”
- “The gameplay is amazing, the UI is intuitive, and the mechanics work great.”
- “Great gameplay, an even better community, and it truly feels like this game is cared for.”
- “My experience with the game is mixed because it's 30% gameplay and 70% annoying errors. The errors I've been getting: matchmaking failed with error: matchmaking fetch error: http /1.1 429 too many requests.”
- “There is little to no balancing and it favors the people who have money to spend, with spending money allowing you to get more powerful quicker and letting you use mechanics that were originally free.”
- “All I have to say is this game is absolutely trash. I just want to have fun, but because of these unbalanced weapons, the game gets ruined quickly. Plus, these spawn areas are extremely unfair because the round's win is completely about where you spawn. Really bad game, and I think the devs should focus on enhancing the gameplay instead of these new weapons and stuff.”

The game's story aspect is seen as underdeveloped, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative, particularly in offline mode, which they suggest should be transformed into a story-based campaign. Many users feel that the current quest system lacks depth and rewards, making the gameplay repetitive and less rewarding, while some highlight the potential for a richer storyline involving character unlocks and space travel themes. Overall, there is a strong call for more content and a cohesive story to enhance the gaming experience.
- “This app's story was truly incredible.”
- “I don't think a more awe-inspiring story has ever been told on a mobile phone.”
- “The game is pretty good; I picked 4 stars because there's like no events, so please add those and 2 vs 2. It would be awesome to add more cards, more levels, and storyline (maybe).”
- “The game was great at first, but then it starts to feel boring because it's the same, and the arena rewards are not that rewarding. You play 12 matches just to win the same prize over and over again, and there are no quest updates. When you reach a high level, the game starts to feel repetitive.”
- “This game is good, but I feel like they make way too many overpowered cards, and everything bounces way too much. There is no story; maybe there could be a story mode where the characters are dying and have to recruit all the skins and earn their trust by battling and defeating their leader.”
- “I absolutely love this game, but the most recent update ruined the quest system, making it impossible to actually complete them. They also lowered the rewards for doing them. I don't know when they added levels, but I hate it; this game was skill-based when I first played it a year or so ago, but now it has a few issues.”

- “Very buggy; nuke causes a crash (something about audio in the error message). The game says you have no signal sometimes with no way to reconnect when I had a perfect signal, forcing you to close the game and take a loss.”
