The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with interesting mechanics and good graphics; however, it suffers from significant balance issues, particularly due to pay-to-win elements and card randomization that can lead to frustrating experiences. Many players express dissatisfaction with the matchmaking system and the slow progression, which often requires spending money to advance effectively. Overall, while the core gameplay concept is appealing, it is marred by mechanics that favor those willing to invest financially, leading to a lack of fairness and enjoyment for free-to-play users.
“It's a cute little game and the gameplay concept is fun.”
“The gameplay is great.”
“The game is remarkable, good graphics, sound quality and gameplay.”
“Unfortunately, it's a pay-to-win game, and a greedy one at that. The gameplay and presentation are first-rate; it's an addictive game for sure. However, to advance, you need to spend money on gems, and it's not a small amount either—£93 for the top amount of gems. They have cheaper amounts you can buy, but you'll end up spending more than you realize, which is a shame as it's a fun game that could have been balanced, but developer greed has ruined it.”
“The gameplay is slow in the normal battles because it takes so long to get cards. Gameplay is a bit unfair as we start only with 2 mana slots and we usually get cards with the highest mana cost at first.”
“The card randomization in the context of the gameplay essentially changes the game from a strategy game to a luck-based game, and it definitely becomes less fun and more frustrating as you progress.”

“The graphics are great, the soundtrack, sound effects, and voice acting are spot on.”
“This game is really good.. first I ignored this game but when I downloaded it I thought that I was a fool that why I didn't download it earlier.. the graphics, screenplay, everything was just fab.. I loved the music of this game very much.. it was a nice experience for me.”
“Love the design and graphics, my favorite strategy game this year.”
“No changes in the game graphics, only new money minting schemes have been added.”

The monetization in this game is widely criticized as exploitative, with many players noting that in-game purchases are excessively priced and often necessary for progression. While some appreciate the lack of intrusive ads, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game feels like a cash grab, with reports of failed transactions and a frustratingly slow reward system. Overall, players express dissatisfaction with the balance between free play and the pressure to spend money.
“Every once in a while some good in-app purchases help to upgrade players.”
“There are in-game microtransactions, but I haven't spent a dime on the game and the castle system will pair you with a fair shot to win most of the time.”
“You start simple but you can easily win the game, and also you can upgrade cards; even in-game purchases are fair and cheap.”
“The in-game purchases are ridiculously expensive, but those seem to be the only real way to get gems and gold because no matter how many marches are played or chests opened, it's rare to get enough for updating characters.”
“Microtransactions are overpriced beyond satisfaction.”
“Game is designed to make you buy in-game purchases!”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and network issues that disrupt gameplay and lead to lost progress and rewards.

“The chests are buggy; sometimes when opening, the game freezes, causing lost loot.”
“While playing a match, and it is going well, suddenly the game freezes for no reason and shows a network error while my internet is completely fine. This happens very often.”
“Very poor experience; I don't know how this game is still on this planet. Always network problems and bugs, so many glitches.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its originality and quality, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. However, some players suggest updating the battle music to better match the game's tone, as the current track can feel depressing. Overall, the soundtrack, sound effects, and voice acting contribute positively to the game's appeal.
“The graphics are great, the soundtrack, sound effects, and voice acting are spot on.”
“Super cool! 😎 I like the background music, and the sound of each card is different.”
“The BGM and soundtrack are original.”
“The only thing I encourage you to do is to update the battle music because the current one has a depressing tone instead of a cheering tone.”
“I don't like the song when it's played during a loss; overall, it's just really good if you have two unions and one playing, but some people are not that smart.”

Players find humor in the game's absurdities, such as the exaggerated emphasis on in-app purchases and the unbalanced card system, which leads to comically frustrating experiences.

“They are trying so hard to push players to buy NFT cards and decks that it's funny as hell!”
“Spend gems to unlock the gift you receive for victory 🤣🤣🤣 the greed from these devs is seriously hilarious... such a shame because this could seriously be a top game.”
“Game loads like it's being played on a microwave, cards are hilariously unbalanced, in-app purchases are constantly flashed in your face, and when I tried to uninstall it, the game crashed my phone entirely.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively time-consuming and tedious, often requiring weeks of effort to achieve meaningful upgrades or progress. Many express frustration over the lack of control in character and team upgrades, compounded by long wait times for rewards unless they opt for microtransactions. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a barrier to enjoyment, with luck playing a significant role in success regardless of effort or investment.
“It will just take you a considerable amount of time and grinding to get something decent.”
“Been grinding up and down between castle 5 and 6 for a month or two now.”
“Perfect example of microtransactions ruining what would be a fun game, the fact you have to wait 3 hours minimum for any reward you get in the game unless you're willing to buy gems is incredibly tedious.”

Players express a desire for a more engaging story mode within the game, feeling that the current structure limits progression and rewards. Many reviewers suggest that incorporating missions, achievements, and a narrative-driven experience would enhance gameplay and provide a more satisfying sense of accomplishment. Overall, the lack of a compelling story element is seen as a significant shortcoming.
“A story type mode where cards and gold are more of a reward would be nice.”
“Hey, I love the game as it is, but why can't there be a little story mode so you can play against other people when you have a certain level or a certain amount of troops?”

“Everything is fine in the game, but one thing is missing: the game lacks missions or achievements; there should be these elements.”
“I wish there was some kind of story mode.”
