    The game is plagued by significant stability issues, with users frequently reporting bugs, server connection problems, and persistent black screens that hinder gameplay. Many players experience lag, freezing, and disconnections, rendering the game nearly unplayable at times. While some acknowledge its potential, the overwhelming consensus is that the game's current state is too unstable to enjoy.

    • “The game itself is cute but it's really buggy; it always says 'connecting to the server' just after a few minutes I started playing, and then the screen would just show a black screen, even though my internet connection is really good.”
    • “Unplayable, really buggy, keep getting 'can't connect to the server', 'wait for the server to respond' notifications. 1 star game, disappointed.”
    • “It's so buggy it becomes unplayable; can y'all fix your server issues because I really wanted to play.”
  • gameplay30 mentions

    The gameplay experience is significantly hindered by persistent server connection issues, leading to frequent interruptions and frustration for players. While some users appreciate the mechanics and find the gameplay enjoyable, many express dissatisfaction with the bugs and the overall stability of the servers, which detracts from the fun. Despite these challenges, there are positive notes regarding the game's design and potential for improvement.

    • “I'm optimistic and patiently waiting for improvements; for a fresh release, it's quite polished (visuals, mechanics, controls, tutorial).”
    • “Overall good design and gameplay; just please fix the bugs, thank you.”
    • “The game is much better now, and the devs are working much more to give the community a smoother gameplay.”
    • “I'd imagine it wouldn't be such a big issue, but there's a server check for every single action you do in a game and because of that this negligible issue handicaps almost every part of gameplay.”
    • “Not only is this game a crypto trading cesspool of NFTs, but the gameplay is incredibly lackluster and the servers are so bad that you'll have a pop-up saying you're reconnecting every five seconds.”
    • “The 'waiting for connection' is ridiculously annoying and totally hinders any sort of gameplay.”
  • monetization24 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism due to persistent issues with ads, which are essential for progression and rewards. Players report frequent crashes after watching ads, failure to receive promised rewards, and a general lack of available ads, leading to frustration and hindering gameplay. Many users feel that the monetization strategy is overly aggressive, particularly for free-to-play players, and express a desire for improvements to the ad system to enhance their experience.

    • “The game has a fair monetization system that doesn't rely heavily on ads.”
    • “I appreciate that there are no intrusive ads, making the gameplay experience much smoother.”
    • “The monetization model is well-balanced and doesn't disrupt the overall enjoyment of the game.”
    • “While fun, the loop gameplay is fine and fair with ads and payments, but it hinders your own progress too heavily for me to enjoy.”
    • “I love the game, one of the reasons why I gave it 5 stars, but please do something about the ads. I can't progress like others because the ads won't give me my reward.”
    • “The crypto you'll earn will go to the commander, and if you don't watch ads or pay for the app itself, you'll have your rank down in an instant.”
  • graphics23 mentions

    Overall, the graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality, character design, and artistic style, with many users describing them as nice, cute, and polished. However, several players report issues such as lag, graphic freezes, and the need for better optimization, particularly on high-end devices. Additionally, connectivity problems and server errors detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration despite the appealing visuals.

    • “Nice graphics and artwork, the music score is on point for the action of the game.”
    • “It's fun and enjoyable, graphics are great, gameplay is great also.”
    • “I hope this gets better graphics optimization.”
    • “I've been experiencing graphic freezes; the app only, my phone is still smooth. Also, the audio still plays even when I'm outside the app and have it open in the background.”
    • “Can you make settings at the loading screen so I can lower the graphic quality? I'm having a hard time entering the game because of high graphics; it makes the app force close.”
  • story17 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for being an alternate version of the main game, with many players experiencing significant technical issues that hinder their ability to progress. Frequent server disconnections and bugs, particularly during tutorial missions and daily quests, lead to frustration and softlocks, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the narrative. While the game has potential and appealing graphics, the execution is marred by these persistent problems, leaving players unable to fully engage with the story.

    • “It can be said that it's an alternate storyline to the main game.”
    • “Heroballz is one of the best and now they added crypto. I love this game, highly recommended... but why is it always stuck on a black screen after the story?”
    • “Don't combine the novice heroes before the quest or you can't progress or do anything.”
    • “The game is fun, but the connection is bad, plus it's the same game and story of Hero Ball Z; this is a cheap renaming.”
    • “Now it won't let me put more and advance in the story or open anything up.”
    • “I can't even pass the first or second mission; whatever it's trying to tell me since I already combined 2 tier 1 novices, now I can't even click anywhere. It's a very bad start to the game.”
  • music7 mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its quality and ability to enhance the addictive gameplay experience. However, some users have reported technical issues, such as the game freezing on a black screen while the music continues to play. Overall, while the music is a highlight, it is accompanied by mixed experiences regarding game stability.

    • “The music is very good and the game is very addictive in a good way.”
    • “Nice graphics and artwork, music score is on point for the action of the game.”
    • “Really nice music and addictive gameplay!”
    • “It launches to a black screen with music playing for a solid minute, then freezes.”
    • “While I was in the middle of the tutorial, my screen blacked out and during that blackout, the music is the only thing that's working. I tried to reset it, but the outcome is still the same.”
    • “It keeps saying 'failed server', and now after I restart the game, there is music but the screen is just blank.”
  • optimization7 mentions

    Overall, players have mixed feelings about the game's optimization, noting some initial performance issues and frame rate drops, but recent updates have improved stability and smoothness. While some users express hope for further enhancements, others appreciate the current quality of optimization.

    • “At least, do some optimizations, so the game becomes enjoyable and less annoying.”
    • “Fps is now dropping up to 1 fps; edit: developer has fixed the issue and now runs smoothly again.”
    • “Nice optimization”
    • “I hope this gets better graphics optimization.”
    • “There is a slight performance issue, but nothing else.”
    • “Update: still hoping for better game performance.”
  • humor4 mentions

    The humor in the game is noted to be entertaining, with some players finding it genuinely funny despite the presence of bugs and issues. However, the game's lack of originality, being described as a mere replica of another title, adds a layer of irony that some find amusing. Overall, while the humor can be appreciated, technical problems detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “If I could remove the one star I've given it, I would, as that's too high of a rating, especially when it's just an exact replica of Hero Ball Z. How you can just change the name and break the game is actually hilarious.”
    • “Seriously, I am laughing right now! 🤣”
    • “Very funny!”
  • grinding4 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some feel it isn't overly grindy, others are frustrated by the time-consuming nature of daily missions and frequent disconnections. The need to grind for resources, especially to progress or unlock permanent commanders, can be tedious, and many hope for improvements such as offline grinding options to alleviate the burden.

    • “If you don't spend money to get past the wall, you will face 2 to 3 days of grinding.”
    • “The game is easy, and I don't think it's that grindy, but every time you try to increase your stages completed, the game reloads repeatedly, which is really annoying. Plus, you often get disconnected.”
    • “Tedious daily missions to get hero stones only to invest in possibly getting a permanent commander.”

    Users express frustration with the emotional aspect of the game, highlighting a lack of agency during tutorials that restrict player interaction, which can detract from the overall experience.
