The gameplay is generally considered fun and engaging, but it is heavily marred by frequent and intrusive ads that interrupt the experience after nearly every short round. Players also report issues with lag due to the number of units on screen, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the core gameplay has potential, the execution suffers from these significant drawbacks.
- “I like the gameplay, but after each round, you're forced to watch an ad, and that got annoying very quickly. Each round is short.”
- “Not a bad idea, but the execution could be better. There are so many units on the board at once that it makes the actual gameplay super laggy, to the point of irritation. It's a good game, but it just needs some bugs to be fixed.”
- “Decent gameplay, though.”
- “The gameplay is fun, but the ads are annoying. You get an ad every round, and the rounds are really fast, so there's not a lot of gameplay. I don't recommend this game unless you can handle a ton of ads.”
- “Repetitive gameplay, completely ruined by a 30-second advert within 10 seconds of the level starting!”
- “Too many ads, decent gameplay though.”
