The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism due to the excessive number of forced ads, which disrupt gameplay and frustrate players. While some users appreciate the option to pay a one-time fee to remove ads, many feel that the intrusive nature of the ads—often appearing during gameplay—detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the consensus is that the ad frequency is overwhelming and negatively impacts enjoyment, leading to a desire for more balanced monetization practices.
“The monetization is extremely reasonable--you can pay a one-time fee of a few dollars to get rid of ads forever.”
“Would love an option to pay to have no ads though.”
“It's a good game; I just wish there were no ads for free instead of buying it.”
“However, the forced ads are a huge no-no and docked 2 stars.”
“Spent more time watching forced ads than actually playing the game.”
“The game itself is decent but forced ads ruin the experience and annoy.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its mechanics and fluidity, while others criticize it for being unbalanced, buggy, and overly simplistic compared to similar games. Frequent ads during gameplay have been a significant turn-off for many players, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these issues, there is potential for improvement if the bugs are addressed and gameplay is refined.
“Now the good news is that the mechanics in the game are very good, and it gives this game potential providing the bugs are corrected.”
“Good, fluid gameplay.”
“I love the game, pretty good graphics, great gameplay, and I can play this game for hours.”
“However, there's no balance to the gameplay.”
“Very buggy gameplay, like it was untested.”
“I gave it 4 stars because the gameplay is too easy compared to other Archero-like games; it's very undertuned and easy to finish as I didn't die once and breezed through all the levels I played so far.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, including freezing issues and unresponsive powers. Many players express frustration over frequent crashes, particularly related to ads, which can reset progress. Despite these issues, some users appreciate the game's potential and the responsiveness of customer support.
“Very buggy gameplay, like it was untested.”
“Decent enough for a time waster, but ads get old very quickly, powers are buggy and can stop working at any given moment so you never know if your choices as you level in a stage actually do anything more noticeable when visual powers stop working obviously.”
“After I beat round 10, the screen goes black and freezes.”

“My only complaint thus far is the music when you beat a boss.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate that it doesn't require extensive grinding for gear and heroes, others feel that certain elements, like fusing equipment and loot drops, can be tedious and overly grindy. Suggestions for improvement include adding daily missions and increasing the frequency of loot drops, particularly at higher difficulty levels.
“I have completed everything other than grinding.”
“Only issue I see is that it does get a bit grindy.”
“Adding daily missions and challenges would help out (i.e. kill x amount of enemies, get x amount of gems). Loot drops and materials should be more frequent, especially at higher difficulties. Fusing equipment is very tedious and grindy.”
