The reviews indicate that the game is heavily focused on grinding, often leading to player frustration due to tedious and repetitive tasks required for leveling up and character acquisition. While some players enjoy the farming aspect, many find it excessively grindy and unrewarding, with complaints about poor summon rates and a lack of engaging content beyond grinding. Additionally, the game is criticized for its frequent crashes and monetization strategies that make it less friendly for free-to-play users.
“It only took me a week for the game to bore me to death... with leveling and combining heroes 24/7 manually (no auto-repeat farming feature)... just to get a 5-star will take so much time it's ridiculous. Other games have more than 10 features or things to do, but not this game. You just farm and upgrade heroes... and you won't get random heroes by combining heroes... that's a rip-off. Avoid at all costs, especially for free-to-play players, and it's buggy as hell, force-closing multiple times very frequently.”
“Horrible summon rates and crazy stupid grinding to get even a halfway decent character.”
“Game is grindy and unrewarding.”

“The best strategic game with beautiful graphics, sounds, characters, and everything... the server for this game is so laggy. Please fix it; it's frustrating. I can't sometimes play PvP due to constant connection timeouts. What kind of game is this? I've been waiting for a fixed version for years. I can't even transfer my account to Windows, iOS, or Steam. The performance is the worst ever, and there's always something downloading or uploading, which prevents me from playing the game.”
“Very bad optimization.”
