The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, crashing, and various glitches during gameplay.

Despite its engaging gameplay, the persistent technical issues detract from the overall experience, prompting calls for urgent fixes from the developers.

- “The game runs great and it's very easy to learn and get a hold of, but there is also lots and lots to do.”
- “Great game, very addictive when it wasn't freezing up. It has caused me to lose a lot of games when it freezes; it's only the screen that does this, the game keeps going and I have no control over what happens. Please fix the issues.”
- “I used to love this game, but now it has become full of glitches. I can't play a single match before the game either glitches out or closes by itself. I have even put graphics on the lowest setting and I can attest to the fact I have a strong connection, but the game has randomly become glitchy to the point of being unplayable. Please fix it.”
- “The game freezes every time a mega punch is activated and/or freezes for the duration of the fight. I have played this game for over a year, and since the last update, it crashes all the time during mega punches and dodging opponents. I have lost a lot so far; I am about to uninstall even though I have money tied up in it. No sense playing if it just causes me to lose all the time and drop so far in ranking.”

The reviews highlight a significant divide in player experiences regarding grinding in the game. Many users find the grinding tedious and frustrating, often feeling that progress is heavily gated by paywalls, making it difficult for free-to-play players to advance.

- “This app was extremely entertaining and fun all the way up until the point grinding became obsolete and was replaced with a paywall that one cannot advance beyond without investing some amount of money.”
