The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, featuring overpriced items, multiple battle passes, and excessive ads that detract from gameplay. Players express regret over spending money, citing issues with ad rewards and overall poor optimization, leading to a frustrating experience that feels unworthy of the investment.
“I recently made an in-app purchase, and it was a smooth experience.”
“The monetization model is fair and doesn't feel intrusive.”
“I appreciate that the game offers plenty of free content alongside optional purchases.”
“This game is a straight up cash grab, lacking any meaning to the game. Two battle passes, a bunch of other stuff that are overpriced, and one legendary weapon is $20 or something. I honestly regret spending $10 to remove ads. You spent all this time and resources to build a game; at least make it worth the money that you are charging.”
“Cash grab, buy a bonus to unlock buying a more expensive bigger bonus.”
“Cash grabbiest cash grab disguising itself as an idle.”

The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, primarily revolving around a simplistic premise of battling monsters. While players appreciate the generous rewards and monster designs, they note that the narrative feels absent and the English translation suffers from numerous errors. Additionally, the limited selection of main heroes and the absence of side quests detract from the overall experience.
“Story is non-existent.”
“The game doesn't really have a story outside of 'go to hell, kill monster.' The translation into English at least needs polishing, with lots of grammatical and spelling issues.”
“Should add more modes such as side quests and a more detailed tutorial.”

“I appreciate the effort put into the optimization, but there are still many areas that could be improved for smoother gameplay.”
“The optimization is decent, but I believe that refining the mechanics and inventory system would make a significant difference.”
“It's okay, but there are many things to improve on. The mechanics seem like they are designed for children. The game needs better optimization, battles, a better inventory system, diverse shops, and gacha.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game challenging due to the high gold requirements for upgrades and the slow accumulation of resources, which can be exacerbated by the presence of hackers. While the option to remove ads is appreciated, the waiting times for collecting gold and battle points can be frustrating, and the reliance on real money offers is viewed negatively.
“Farming gold is hard, as it is required in large amounts to upgrade. Real money offers are also disappointing. While the option to remove ads is good, I still have to wait 20 minutes to collect the next gold, battle points, or coupons to fight. I suspect there are hackers in this game, as I couldn't win against opponents with half my battle power.”
“The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious. It takes far too long to gather the resources needed for upgrades, making progress frustrating.”
“I find the grinding mechanics to be overly punishing. The time required to farm resources is excessive, and it detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
