The monetization model of the game has shifted significantly, with the removal of in-app purchases and ads, which some players appreciate for eliminating pay-to-win mechanics. However, this change has frustrated others who feel that the game has become overly grindy and less enjoyable without the option for microtransactions. While a Netflix subscription is required to play, many users express a preference for this model over traditional monetization strategies, valuing the absence of ads and microtransactions.
- “Having no ads and in-game purchases is my favorite part of playing Netflix mobile games. It helps that I have always had a Netflix subscription, and I don't see it as a subscription to just play mobile games.”
- “It's really fun, and there aren't any microtransactions as long as you have a Netflix account.”
- “Love the game and the no pay-to-play model, so there are no whales in the game that can spend credit card money, and no ads. I love it!”
- “Used to love Dungeon Boss, but now you're telling me you expect people to pay $7.99 a month to play a game that's already borderline unplayable without tons of in-app purchases?”
- “Requires you to have a Netflix account to log in, which costs at least $4 a month. The old app at least let you play for free and log in with Google or your own email. This feels like a very greedy way to remaster a game for monetization.”
- “I used to play the game a long time ago before Netflix brought it back, but now, with the promise of being able to play again without all the hassle of ads and microtransactions all but getting ripped away because the game won't start, it's highly frustrating.”
grinding

The reviews highlight a mixed perception of grinding in the game; while some players find it addictive and rewarding, others criticize it as tedious and monotonous, particularly due to the lack of hero variety and the time-consuming nature of resource farming. The removal of the energy system has made grinding more accessible, but the overall grindiness may deter those who prefer a less repetitive experience.
- “Mechanically fun, and a decent sequel to the original, but the lack of hero variety and the insane amount of tedious, boring, monotonous grinding you have to do for an ounce of progress drags the game down hard.”
- “But it has some problems mostly that once you have completed daily quests it just feels like grinding.”
- “Game seems polished in terms of graphics but seems very grindy.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the classic turn-based mechanics and hero variety, while others criticize the tedious grinding and lack of engaging content following Netflix's acquisition. Many feel that the removal of unique characters and mechanics has led to a bland experience, diminishing the fun factor and making progression feel slow and frustrating. Overall, while there are elements of enjoyment, the changes have left a significant portion of the player base dissatisfied.
- “Good hero variety, classic turn-based gameplay.”
- “Some of the characters are very well built and game mechanics allow a lot of hero combinations.”
- “It seems really fun, but they removed most of the mechanics that made this game fun.”
- “Netflix's purchase of this game, however, has removed a majority of the characters, mechanics, and variety that made this game unique.”
- “I like that energy/raid tickets and other game mechanics which prevented playing the game were removed, but the game feels so bland it makes me sad.”
- “Like other Netflix adaptations, the pay-to-win adaptation is done poorly, and there are still mechanics in place to slow progression, which makes it difficult to play the game without a significant time investment.”

The game's story is described as having engaging moments but ultimately suffers from a grind-heavy structure, requiring players to complete numerous matches to progress. While it introduces new heroes and a fresh story path, many maps are recycled from the original game, leading to a sense of repetitiveness. Additionally, technical issues, such as daily quests not resetting and a kill count glitch, detract from the overall experience.
- “At midnight when the game resets, it only takes about an hour to go through the new missions, but it has its moments.”
- “Overall maps of the game are exact copies from the original game but the only differences are the one or two new heroes and the new story path.”
- “Very grindy and addictive; got rid of the energy system so you can play it endlessly and no more microtransactions unlock the characters through story missions now.”
- “But it has some problems, mostly that once you have completed daily quests, it just feels like grinding.”
- “Speaking from a post-Netflix version first-time player, this game is basically all grind (e.g., you need to play 200 matches to upgrade a hero on the last storyline).”
- “Overall, the maps of the game are exact copies from the original game, but the only differences are the one or two new heroes and the new story path.”
