Players express a strong desire for a dedicated story mode in the game, highlighting its potential for deeper engagement and narrative development. Many reviews also point out significant issues with the mission system, including bugs that prevent mission completion and a lack of balance that makes it difficult for new players to progress. Overall, while the game is appreciated for its gameplay, the absence of a cohesive story and the malfunctioning mission features detract from the overall experience.
“The game is already amazing, but to make it more amazing, you guys should add a story mode like Dragon Ball Z, please and thank you.”
“It's a very nice game, but you should put a story mode.”
“It's great but needs a story mode.”
“But one really important thing you need to add is story mode.”
“I hope you see this and consider a story mode.”
“Perhaps an online mode, like a story mode or something... please update the game more, and not just add characters in all the updates.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive reliance on ads, which disrupt gameplay and frustrate users. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every action, making it difficult to enjoy the game or progress, especially for new players. While some appreciate the potential for in-game purchases, many feel that the ad frequency detracts significantly from the overall experience, leading to a consensus that the game is more of a cash grab than a balanced gaming experience.
“I appreciate that some in-game purchases are priced at just 0.01 cents, but it's frustrating that they can't be bought. I don't mind the low cost; I just wish I could actually purchase items.”
“You spend more time watching ads so these people can get money instead of actually playing.”
“Extremely ad heavy and trash in terms of new players' ability to progress and sometimes they outright don't let you use paid characters you bought. They also removed the only way for new players to progress, a lobby rule restricting power levels, so new players and others were on more even fields. Removed later presumably to increase grind, and since then ads have only gotten worse with time, so I highly recommend avoiding this trash.”
“A lot of ads, makes the game literally unplayable.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their quality and appeal, with many users highlighting the vibrant visuals and character variety. However, some players express concerns about the mixing of different graphic styles and suggest improvements to enhance the overall visual experience. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the gameplay, making it enjoyable for both solo and multiplayer sessions.
“It's an amazing app that I played before and enjoyed and still enjoy, with amazing graphics and a wide variety of characters.”
“The game is great, good graphics, and the best controls.”
“I love the graphics and the game and the characters.”
“And graphics 101: don't mix sprites and vector graphics, man.”
“Ball graphics, but not any graphics the sick 😷 owns.”
“I'm an old player; I left this game before when it was full of people and so much fun, but now it has become less enjoyable. I have a message for the game developer: please start working on the game again. I know there are many problems, but there's always a solution. It's sad to see a great game from so many years ending like this. Try to add more characters and more maps or add something new, I don't know, just get a new idea.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of positive and negative experiences. While many players appreciate the mechanics and new features, concerns about account progress loss, a lack of a proper leveling system, and "pay to win" elements detract from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, requests for offline mode and smoother gameplay indicate areas for improvement.
“Great game, I love the new features and gameplay. I just wish I could log in to my Google Play and get my daily items, but besides that, I loved the new update. Thanks!”
“I love the gameplay and I enjoyed all of this.”
“You have some very nice mechanics here, mate.”
“Bad gameplay”
“Hi there developers of Dragon Crystal Arena, I'm pretty impressed with how you made this game, but my one problem is the 'pay to win' mechanics, which in itself is a really bad move considering the fact that new players can't play properly due to the increase of people paying to win. This game was good back then, but you guys made it worse. A little suggestion: make a new kind of game mode for only new players so that they will have a chance to play properly and not get killed instantly. I myself had experienced this but still managed to become stronger. Please, this has gone too far. I don't want to say this, but Saiyan Arena Online was a better game in all categories. This game was good, but you guys ruined it; this was a poor move by the developers.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with players reporting frequent bugs that require multiple reinstalls and lead to data loss. Common complaints include glitches affecting gameplay, difficulties with character purchases, and intrusive ads that disrupt the experience. Overall, these stability problems have resulted in low ratings and a call for urgent fixes.
“This game is extremely buggy. I've had to reinstall the game 4 times because of a bug that wouldn't recognize my kill count and wouldn't let me use my character missions, resulting in 4 data wipes.”
“Fix your game! I love it a lot, but it's rated 2 stars because the ads break the game. When I'm trying to respawn, I have to watch an ad, and most of the time it freezes. Until that bug is fixed, it's staying at 2 stars.”
“Ok, the game is good, but it also needs to fix some glitches and add new features like new abilities and new ways to buy a character. It's a bit hard to buy a character when you start, and it also needs to fix the Google connection because it doesn't let my brother connect to play.”
