The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the abundance of in-game rewards and the absence of forced ads, yet expressing frustration over the heavy reliance on "diamond" currency for progression. Many users report issues with ad availability, which can hinder free-to-play players, leading to suggestions for better balancing and compensation when ads fail to load. While some players are willing to spend money for buffs and ad removal, others criticize the game as a cash grab, particularly during events that incentivize spending.
“My experience after about a week: hit a wall for a few days and decided to buy a beginner pack for 10x power/gold and no ads.”
“There are two ways to fix this: one—try to load the ad, and if it fails, give the player the currency anyway since it's not their fault that nothing loads or is available, or two, balance the gameplay loop so diamonds aren't so important that they are basically a requirement to progress through the game by giving you extremely high multipliers.”
“This is the perfect example of a cash grab game, made for people who think being at the top of a leaderboard is worth spending money on.”
“Edit: the first event is about spending money, and getting half the amount you spent, in gems back after it's over; see total cash grab.”
“Manipulative in-app purchases.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the mechanics and finding it fun, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth. Issues such as reliance on ads for progression and a cluttered user interface detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration among free-to-play users. Improvements in game balance and performance could enhance the gameplay significantly.
“I love the mechanics of the game.”
“Enjoying the mechanics of it all so far.”
“Awesome gameplay”
“The idea is decent, but the gameplay just doesn't go anywhere.”
“No gameplay guide except for the overly elaborate HUD which almost completely covers the screen. It then goes straight into you being completely surrounded and attacked, and you can't move. Then some upgrades, and finally there's an opening, but you move slower than if you were standing still!”
“Boring gameplay, boring user interface, boring arena system, boring summon.”

The reviews indicate a significant dissatisfaction with the game's story, with many players noting the absence of a compelling narrative or quests, leading to repetitive gameplay. Critics emphasize the need for a more engaging storyline and diverse objectives beyond mere combat to enhance the overall experience. Overall, the lack of a meaningful story detracts from the game's potential appeal, particularly for fans of RPGs.
“If there was a story mode, this could become one of the top 5 popular games.”
“Good game so far; just add some story background and more power or items for the player.”
“Diablo-style fighting mixed with MapleStory aesthetics.”
“Not even a storyline or anything to make it interesting.”
“It's okay... just doing the same thing over and over. No storyline that is challenging enough for me. It needs more than just being stuck in one area to kill things repeatedly. It needs a storyline and more than just killing things. 0 stars for me, and I like playing RPG-type games or similar.”
“Boring game, no quest at all.”

Reviews on the grinding aspect of the game are mixed; while some players find it enjoyable and fitting for a grinding game, others express frustration with issues like unrecognized purchases and the limitations of AFK grinding. Overall, the experience seems to vary significantly based on individual preferences for grinding mechanics.
“Bought a growth package that does not show in my game account but I was charged for it. When trying to buy again, it says I already own one. AFK grinding should be more rewarding than power-saving mode since it's an idle game. Uninstalling.”
“After that, good luck grinding or spending cash.”
“It's fun so far, but it's a bit grindy, which is not a problem for me.”

“I expected a dynamic soundtrack, but the music feels flat and uninspired.”
