    • “I really like the art style; I thought the game looks really interesting and it plays pretty good too.”
    • “So far so good, loving the colors and graphics.”
    • “Graphics are solid flashy 2D, but it all blurs together after the first hour or two.”

  • gameplay22 mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, engaging, and visually appealing, with many users highlighting its fluid mechanics and enjoyable combat. However, some criticisms arise regarding the presence of gambling mechanics, obfuscated systems, and a lack of character diversity, which detracts from the overall experience for certain players. Despite these issues, many find the gameplay to be a strong point of the game, with a mix of grinding and interesting features that keep players entertained.

    • “This game is a masterpiece; the gameplay is insane, it's fluid and visually pleasing. Some characters can attack at long range, which kinda reminds me of the RWBY movies, so it's awesome. I recommend it to anyone who is looking through the comments.”
    • “Great gameplay, great graphics.”
    • “But the gameplay is awesome; I really enjoyed playing it.”
    • “If you're looking to waste a couple of hours or waste some money on gambling mechanics, this is okay for a day or two. It has gambling because it's free-to-play, but instead of boxes, it's spheres. To describe the gameplay: it's actually just another grindy idle game, but with some pink.”
    • “The systems are intentionally designed to obfuscate mechanics and bully you into paying and/or watching 30-second long ads multiple times in a row.”
    • “This game is sexist; 10/10 for gameplay, 5/10 for the one-sided gender representation.”
  • story21 mentions

    • “The missions are too short.”

  • monetization18 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its intrusive ads and reliance on microtransactions, which many players feel detracts from the overall experience. While some users appreciate the game's depth and offline playability, the overwhelming presence of ads and the necessity to watch them for character upgrades or to access certain features are seen as exploitative. Overall, the monetization strategy appears to prioritize profit over player enjoyment, leading to mixed feelings among the community.

    • “Awesome game so far and the response by the developer regarding an issue I had with an in-game purchase was prompt, non-argumentative, and more than fair.”
    • “So very nice game, no ads and so adorable.”
    • “Great game but has many intrusive ads.”
    • “Good game for mobile play with interesting depth, but shamefully swarming with ads and microtransactions.”
    • “The systems are intentionally designed to obfuscate mechanics and bully you into paying and/or watching 30-second long ads multiple times in a row.”
  • grinding4 mentions

    The game is characterized by a significant amount of grinding, typical of idle and hack-and-slash genres, requiring players to invest considerable time to power up their heroes. While some players appreciate the grind as a means to progress without pay-to-win mechanics, others find it repetitive and reminiscent of other games. Overall, it offers a casual experience for those willing to invest time, but may not stand out in terms of innovation.

    • “If you're looking to waste a couple of hours or spend some money on gambling mechanics, this is okay for a day or two. It has gambling because it's free-to-play, but instead of boxes, it's spheres. To describe the gameplay: it's actually just another grindy idle game, but with some pink.”
    • “The game is pretty grindy like all 2D hack and slash games, so if you're bored one day and want to try something new, this game is worth checking out.”
    • “I can spend days, maybe weeks, powering up my heroes. It will take me a while depending on whether the game holds steady and doesn't crash or bug. I'm just farming for experience, money, and items, but I've been seeing the screen bugging.”

Overall, the soundtrack seems to be a point of contention, with calls for improvement despite the game's other positive aspects.

    • “Very very enjoyable, love the music; it's catchy.”
