Overall, the consensus is that the game prioritizes profit over player enjoyment, making it difficult to recommend.

“Horribly riddled with microtransactions, and has an energy system.”

Players find grinding in the game to be a tedious and time-consuming process, particularly due to the limitations on daily quests, which are the primary farming method.

“Daily quests shouldn't have a limit or the limit should be higher, seeing that's the only good farming method.”
“Level grinding is a painfully long process.”
“You must spend literal weeks farming to level up a new hero you don't want, just to pass a single level.”
