The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to its heavy reliance on ads and the in-game "diamond" currency for progression. Players express frustration over frequent ad failures, which hinder free-to-play users from advancing, leading to perceptions of the game as a cash grab that manipulates players into spending money for buffs and advantages. While some players have found value in purchasing ad removal or starter packs, the overall sentiment suggests that the monetization model is poorly balanced and overly reliant on ads and microtransactions.
“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 (also fixing the ads so they actually work would probably be a good idea, too).”
“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.”
“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.”
“Nothing to do, just watch 3 ads every 15 minutes to speed up leveling 30 times.”
“Manipulative in-app purchases.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality and style, with many users highlighting the appealing character designs and visual effects.

Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the game's enjoyment, but there are calls for more engaging content.
“Love the graphic style.”
“This is so promising, easy and simple, but the graphics are excellent and I enjoyed the game so much. I'm looking forward to an update in the near future.”
“I love the graphics and also the cute characters. I only have suggestions: why don't you try to add other classes, not just swordsman? But still a 5 stars because I enjoy it a lot.”
“PC-like graphics, but it feels like Limbo because you don't die...”
“Graphics are good, but the gameplay is boring.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the mechanics and finding it easy to follow, while others criticize it for being boring and lacking depth. Issues with ad loading and the reliance on in-game currency have also been highlighted as detrimental to the overall experience. Overall, while there are enjoyable elements, significant improvements are needed to enhance engagement and balance.
“I love the mechanics of the game.”
“Nice gameplay, easy to follow.”
“Awesome gameplay.”
“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 (also fixing the ads so they actually work would probably be a good idea, too).”
“If the simple gameplay loop of your game wilts for free-to-play players because something as simple as ads not working, then it may be time to rethink the current game design balance and how much 'support' you may be asking from your players.”
“The idea is decent, but the gameplay just doesn't go anywhere.”

The reviews indicate a significant dissatisfaction with the game's lack of a compelling storyline, with many players feeling that the absence of narrative elements makes the gameplay repetitive and unengaging. Users express a desire for quests and a more structured progression to enhance the overall experience, suggesting that the game would benefit greatly from a more developed story and varied objectives.
“Good game so far; just add some story background and include more power or items for the player.”
“Not even a storyline or anything to make it interesting.”
“It's okay, but I'm just doing the same thing over and over. There's no storyline that's 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 usually enjoy RPG-type games or similar.”
“No complaints really, it just seems lacking in storyline and stage progression.”

Reviews on grinding in the game are mixed; while some players find it enjoyable and fitting for fans of grind-heavy gameplay, others express frustration with issues like unrecognized purchases and the need for more effective AFK grinding options. Overall, the experience can be fun but may require a tolerance for repetitive tasks.
“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.”
“Fun so far... a bit grindy but not a problem at all.”

The music aspect of the game is largely criticized, with users noting a lack of engaging soundtracks and describing the overall experience as boring and unchallenging, particularly in an AFK context.
“Boring, no music; it's an AFK type game. Enemies deal no damage, so there's no challenge at all. It's just boring.”
“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making the gameplay feel monotonous.”
“I expected a dynamic soundtrack, but the music is forgettable and doesn't enhance the gaming experience.”
