The gameplay is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its nostalgic turn-based mechanics and tactical depth reminiscent of classic games. However, concerns about paywalls, repetitive elements, and a lack of clear explanations for game mechanics detract from the overall experience. While the graphics and combat mechanics are praised, the pay-to-win model and slow progression can hinder long-term enjoyment.

The monetization aspect of the game is mixed, with some players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to play for free, while others criticize the predatory nature of in-app purchases that can enhance gameplay. Many users express a preference for ad-based rewards over spending real money, noting that while microtransactions are optional, they can significantly impact progression. Overall, the game offers a balance of free play and monetization, but opinions vary on its fairness and accessibility.

“Being a free-to-play game with no ads, you will have to invest your money or your time to unlock content.”
“Fun game that has in-app purchases that definitely help you move along faster, but if you're willing to grind, they aren't necessary to an enjoyable experience.”
“Extremely predatory monetization.”
“In-app purchases are always a turnoff.”

The game's story is described as linear and lacking depth, with many players finding it underwhelming and overly reliant on microtransactions for progression. While some appreciate the character-driven elements and unique gameplay, others express frustration with the repetitive nature of quests and the need for more engaging content. Overall, the narrative fails to captivate, leaving players wanting more in terms of story development and quest variety.
“This game features unique gameplay elements and follows a linear story.”
“What makes it more exciting are the artifacts and it's a story-driven game.”
“Nice story and music as well as lovely characters.”
“It is okay as an idle clicker, but don't get hung up on progressing in the main storyline - finishing that takes zero skill but lots of cash.”
“Main story is very meh, fighting is okay, but PvP is undoable at higher levels - always getting opponents with 'paid for' units.”
“Really disappointing, has promise but only really has one-time fight story mode and duels.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, with many noting that it becomes slow and painful quickly. While some appreciate the strategic elements and the ability for free players to progress, the limited replayable stages and the need for extensive grinding—often leading to pay-to-win scenarios—detract from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the game starts strong but risks losing players due to its grind-heavy nature.
“The game introduces too many units too soon, and stage replay for material farming would be nice.”
“However, it starts out as a good strategy game that rewards good planning but slowly becomes a grindy and unsatisfying experience.”
“In turn, unless you want to pay real money or spend months grinding, there are much better games available.”
“The campaign was too easy and then impossible without a lot of grinding.”
