The story mode of the game is generally well-received for its engaging narrative and challenging missions, but many players express frustration over its brevity and lack of replayability once completed. Users frequently request additional story levels, new characters, and improved rewards for completing missions, as they feel the current system leaves little to do after finishing the main campaign. Additionally, technical issues, such as glitches preventing access to sandbox mode after completing the story, detract from the overall experience.
“The story has great progression (unlike multiplayer, unfortunately) and the multiplayer is pretty good (even if it takes a bit).”
“I love the game and everything, beat the whole campaign story mode.”
“The storyline is great; it would be even better if they added another part of the story such as a part 2 where a new villain is born and another hero or the same person who defeated Frederico will have a fight.”
“The story mode doesn't feel like there is much to do once you're done; rewards feel hard to get and gameplay feels slow and lifeless.”
“After completing the story mode, getting capsules slows almost to a stop unless you play quick multiplayer all day.”
“The storyline is too short, in my opinion.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which disrupt gameplay and often lead to crashes. While some appreciate the option to disable ads for a fee, others feel misled by purchases that do not effectively remove ads. Overall, the game is criticized for its shift towards a more aggressive monetization strategy, making it feel pay-to-win and detracting from the overall experience.
“Love this game, I like how you can get a no ads session for free by watching one ad, and I don't really care about the pay-to-win aspect. The graphics and the classical feel of this game make it an easy 5 stars.”
“It's amazing that there's almost no ads. Thank you, Clone Armies, for this experience.”
“Very fun! I recommend it to friends, and it makes it even better that it has no ads at all.”
“The fact of the misleading 'interstitial ad removal' purchases not removing ads is enough to rate this game 1 star.”
“But... the game turned into a capitalism factory to make children waste their family money on it, it's a shame, there are ads every time everywhere, I am sick of it, you need to pay to remove the ads, and you can also get more cards with real money = more power.”
“This game was fun but the problem is if ads pop up in the multiplayer mode I always disconnect.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its unique mechanics and strategic elements, offering a fun and engaging experience. However, many players report significant issues such as bugs, lag, and unbalanced difficulty, particularly in multiplayer modes, which detract from the overall enjoyment. While some users appreciate the innovative concepts and graphics, others express frustration over ad interruptions and the need for better controls and matchmaking.
“This is a great game and I really like the unique gameplay.”
“Great game, innovative and addicting gameplay.”
“The gameplay is brilliant, the animation and graphics are brilliant and I love the idea.”
“The game sucks now; the screen doesn't even move on endless mode or when you're far from the clone machine. The clone machine is wasting our time and it's also bugging as well, like freezing the previous clones for a few seconds then unfreezing them. The new buttons didn't make the gameplay unique, the aim is uncontrollable, and the enemy is now harder to kill. Please make the aim straight. I hate the zooming part on the clone machine when it's about to clone. This game sucks now; I hate bugs.”
“Gameplay is horrible too; you may be a strategy game, but the fact that you have ads after every match is just awful. You're not worth watching a full ad after stressing out; we should feel rewarded and joyful, not annoyed after getting an ad.”
“The gameplay is boring and it's impossible to get past a level with a commando in it because they can just go up super close to you and they don't take any damage when you shoot them.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players expressing nostalgia for the older soundtracks, particularly from 2018, and a desire for their return.

“The music is so good!”
“I love the new update because of the new cloning effects and the new sound. This game is fun, but the reason why I gave it a 4 is because I prefer the old music.”
“The game is fine and fun to play, but please bring back the old music. I play the game with silent music, so please bring back the old 2018 music.”

Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the casual nature and multiplayer options that provide hours of fun, others feel that the lack of diverse game modes and limited campaign length significantly diminish replay value. Many users express a desire for additional content, such as an endless mode or more accessible upgrades, to enhance the experience after completing the main missions. Despite these concerns, the game is still seen as a solid choice for quick, enjoyable sessions.
“Glad to see the devs having a comeback, I like this unique, casual offline game with high replay value.”
“Finally a phone game with some replayability... the game is simple but perfect to kill time, which is the only time I'll play games on my phone.”
“Hours of fun and great replayability.”
“My problem is the replayability of the game, which slows to a standstill after completing all of the missions.”
“It is a very annoying downfall to an amazing game, and I don't see any problems with bringing back endless mode which expanded replayability enormously considering the fact that the game was smaller.”
“The controls are stiff, it is hard to get something good with the tokens, the enemy clones can aim while the clones I control can't, the enemy clones shoot farther than the clones I control, there aren't many levels, there is only one game mode with replay value, and the spinner thing in endless mode exits out even when I still have tokens to use.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and tedious, particularly after reaching the halfway point in the campaign, where enemy difficulty spikes and progress feels slow. Many express frustration with the need to grind for stars to unlock features like sandbox mode, suggesting that the game would benefit from quality-of-life improvements such as faster respawn options and a fast-forward mode for story levels. Overall, while the game has enjoyable elements, the grinding detracts significantly from the experience.
“The game is fun and pretty well made... until you get past the halfway point in the campaign, then the damage, positions, and level of the enemy just makes it all very tedious.”
“At times this feels extremely tedious having to wait until you get to use your clone effectively.”
“It was horrible, the gameplay is tedious and repetitive and the controls never worked.”

“Superb performance and graphics.”
“The controls are simplistic, the 2D graphics are surprisingly good, the game runs smoothly and the levels are challenging and fun.”
