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.

Additionally, there are calls for improvements in multiplayer matchmaking and a reduction in ads, as these detract from the enjoyment of the story mode.

“I love the game and everything, beat the whole campaign story mode.”
“The game is amazing, the story mode is amazing and multiplayer!”

The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which disrupt gameplay and often lead to crashes. Many users feel misled by purchases intended to remove ads, as these often do not work as promised. While some appreciate the option to disable ads for free, the overall sentiment is that the game has become overly reliant on ads and microtransactions, detracting from the enjoyment and quality of the experience.
“Love this game, I like how you can get no ads session for free by watching one ad, and I don't really care about the pay-to-win aspect; the graphics and how classical this game is earn it an easy 5 stars.”
“It's amazing also there's like no ads, thank you Clone Armies for this experience.”
“My favorite mobile game ever, little to no ads and generally a fun game.”
“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 described as unique and fun, with interesting mechanics that encourage strategic thinking. However, many users report significant issues such as bugs, lag, and unbalanced difficulty, particularly in multiplayer modes, which detract from the overall experience. While some players 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 endlessly fun and there's so many tactics if only there were more cosmetics.”
“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 unfreezes 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.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and tedious, particularly after 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 current sandbox mode isn't really worth grinding 58 stars for.”
“After your random arsenal of clones is basically complete, the only way to get more clones is by grinding the multiplayer or simply paying.”
“The game was fun but when I re-downloaded it everything is just terrible; I'm just invincible. What made it fun was the cloning and grinding.”

Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the endless mode and multiplayer options that enhance replay value, others find the lack of content and limited game modes disappointing after completing the main missions. Suggestions for improvement include extending the campaign and making powerful units more accessible to maintain player engagement. Despite these concerns, many users still enjoy the game for its casual nature and creative elements, making it a decent choice for quick play 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.”
