The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some users labeling it as a cash grab and criticizing its pay-to-win elements, particularly in the context of its mobile origins.

- “The best part about it is the in-game purchases are done tastefully and are basically to speed things up if you don't want to wait for timers or don't want to play a lot of hours to buy that special card pack with your next winner.”
- “Feels very cash grabby.”
- “Cabals: Card Blitz is a pay-to-win/pay-to-play mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a nasty, greedy cash grab from morally void mobile app developers.”
- “Then there's cash grab nastiness from mobile game peddlers like this one.”

The game's story is criticized for lacking a clear narrative, with players noting that it primarily serves as a backdrop for gameplay rather than an engaging experience. While it features a Lovecraftian setting, the absence of a compelling storyline detracts from the overall experience, making it more suitable for fans of progression and deck-building mechanics rather than those seeking a rich narrative.
- “Generally, I would recommend the game to anyone who likes progression games and light strategy of deck building, as well as all the fans of Lovecraftian settings.”
- “Lacks a clear storyline; PvP feels like a random guess as to who you are able to fight.”
- “Higher level quests require high-end cards, which can take ages to alchemize into more powerful creatures. You can, of course, skip this entirely by buying their in-game currency.”

The simplistic mobile port requires significant time investment, often necessitating additional lives for effective grinding.
- “A simplistic mobile port of a grindy auto card battler that is more interested in making you pay than play.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
