The monetization strategy of the game is widely criticized as a cash grab, with many players feeling it relies heavily on pay-to-win mechanics and lacks originality. Users express a preference for ad-supported models that offer rewards, indicating a willingness to engage with advertisements if it enhances the gaming experience. Overall, the current approach is leading to a decline in the player base.
“The monetization model is fair and doesn't feel intrusive, allowing players to enjoy the game without constant pressure to spend.”
“I appreciate how the game offers plenty of free content while still providing optional purchases that enhance the experience.”
“The in-game store is well-designed, offering a variety of items that feel worth the investment without being necessary to progress.”
“It's a cash grab and pretty much a clone of a game I played a few years back.”
“Due to these changes to cash grab, the player base is dropping rapidly.”
“Good gameplay, but pay-to-win and a cash grab.”

The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent freezing issues that hinder gameplay, particularly during loading and co-op sessions. Some players have experienced persistent problems that prevent them from starting the game altogether, while others noted that connection issues can lead to being kicked out of matches. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the stability concerns significantly impact the user experience.
“The game freezes and gets stuck, and you can't even play the game. It won't let you play the first battle. I've installed it 4 times and have the same problem every time; it freezes and you can't play the battle, so therefore you can't even start the game. It's ridiculous.”
“I rate this game 4 stars because I don't like the loading bug that happens when you try to play co-op, where it freezes for a little bit to load. That kind of bothers me, but other than that, this is a very innovative idea compared to other games that tried to copy the Clash Royale type of genre.”
“Installed, opened, displays 'loading game data', it freezes for 5 minutes, uninstalled.”

The story aspect of the game has received criticism for lacking a dedicated campaign or narrative mode, leaving players feeling disappointed and unfulfilled. Many users express a desire for cooperative gameplay options that reward them with in-game currency, as they are not interested in PvP. Overall, the absence of a compelling story or meaningful progression has led to frustration among players.
“The story is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters and their journeys.”
“I love how the narrative unfolds with each mission, making every victory feel meaningful.”
“The plot twists are unexpected and add depth to the overall experience.”
“Only PvP available, really no story mode or campaign.”
“Had high expectations, but we don't even get any launch rewards. There are no accomplishment quests, so we can't earn daily gems. Gems only allow you to earn around 60, and one hero costs 3500 gems, which is extremely high. There's no option to reduce the timer on chests except by paying with gems. A debuff card in the shop costs 800k gold just for one single shard, which is beyond insane. My hero got stuck during fights, so the enemy kept winning. This happened multiple times, and I'm not happy. Plus, co-op is tough, and the rewards we get are lame.”
“Can you create something like a story or campaign?”

The game's optimization has received mixed feedback, with users reporting significant lag and performance issues, particularly on lower-end devices. Many players express frustration over slow and clunky gameplay, suggesting that improvements in optimization are necessary for a smoother experience. Despite these concerns, some players still appreciate the overall gameplay and strategy elements.
“Needs a bit more optimization, but it's a pretty darn good game.”
“I can't give more than 3 stars for some reasons: - the game has the same problem as all in this style that is only open 1 chest (over 3 hours to open) at a time, so you can't barely play each day - no fair matches (every rank advance usually is a pain) - bad optimization (I have a Mi 5X, it runs Pokémon Unite smoothly, but this game lags) ------ the game isn't bad, but besides the notorious pay-to-advance fast, I don't blame that; the game is just a new Clash Royale style on the market, but I liked the strategy feel indeed. Good luck!”
“Why the 3 stars... I mean I really like the gameplay and everything, but the performance... please focus on getting better performance in your game... most of the things are a bit slow and clunky.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat excessive, often requiring significant time investment or monetary spending to progress efficiently. Concerns about matchmaking and the prevalence of cheating, particularly in high ranks, further exacerbate the grind, making it challenging for new players to compete fairly. Despite these issues, many still consider the game enjoyable and worth playing.
“It is a bit grindy/pay to progress faster.”
“Blatant cheating already, check the top rank tables replays and watch them all win trade farming.”
“Okay for starters, the matchmaking needs to be improved. Allowing people at the same true level to battle is essential, as those who farm and drop down make it difficult for new players to face opponents with strong builds due to farming. Fix this and add more heroes and instant 5 stars, but it's still worth playing.”
