The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising its graphics and anime-inspired mechanics, while others criticize its controls and overall execution as clunky and difficult to manage. Many players express frustration with the autoplay feature and the game's reliance on gacha mechanics, which can hinder enjoyment and strategy.

- “The gameplay mechanics are smooth, the graphics are stunning, and the attention to detail in recreating the anime's excitement is exceptional.”
- “Amazing gameplay and amazing graphics ”
- “Given the current mechanics, it's quite hard to control the gameplay and use the controls to actually play the game, and thus you leave it on autoplay.”
- “The gacha mechanics are stinky, the gameplay sucks, the control is just unbearable. Dribbling and passing are hard to control to the point I'm giving up on playing. It doesn't matter how good the animation and art are if I can't even control the player!”
- “Gameplay is so complicated and quick I can't even see what is happening on the field, let alone enjoy the animations and game.”

- “I love the game so much, but there are some things you need to improve to make it even better: improve the graphics and add better features for the controls, make the game more realistic. Most of the tackles don't go through, extend the time for a match, improve players' movements with the ball, and fix all lagging during the match.”
- “Very much lag and the graphics are poor; this lag deserves 1 star. I don't know why I'm experiencing this lag when I'm not doing anything to cause it.”
- “I've played this game before on PS4 and it's a real look-alike, but it just needs a graphic boost and better in-game rewards.”

grinding
10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively time-consuming and frustrating, particularly due to the lack of features like skip or speed-up options for repeated stages. Many express dissatisfaction with the game's reliance on pay-to-win mechanics and the inadequate rewards for free-to-play users, making resource farming feel tedious and unbalanced. Overall, the grinding experience detracts from the enjoyment, as players feel compelled to replay content without meaningful progression.
- “Overall a fun game but takes too long to farm things early on, which makes picking it up and putting it down non-existent due to the length of games and farming.”
- “When you're grinding, you have to keep repeating the same stages you already completed as if you're playing them for the first time; there's no skip button or speed up button.”
- “This game is a pay-to-win game, the daily reward is not good for free-to-play players, and the grinding takes too long.”
monetization
7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn criticism for being overly aggressive, with players feeling that the gacha system resets with new character drops, leading to wasted resources. Additionally, users report frequent issues with ad loading and excessive advertisements, which detracts from the overall experience and suggests a focus on profit over player satisfaction.
- “Also, unlike other games that keep your gacha counter, it actually resets when a new character drops, and you end up wasting all that gold you spent on the previous character. Definitely a cash grab.”
- “A good game, but sadly it's managed by a cash grab greedy company.”
- “This game is so good, but there are too many ads.”

- “In the beginning of any respected game, you would be swimming in gifts, rewards, and resources, but not here.”

Players find humor in the game's unexpected moments, particularly in the absurdity of skilled characters failing to perform basic actions, such as a talented player repeatedly struggling to get past a block. This blend of frustration and comedy adds a lighthearted element to the gameplay experience.
