The game's monetization is heavily ad-driven, with many users frustrated by the frequent, sometimes forced ads that disrupt gameplay, despite some appreciating the optional ads that provide rewards. While the game is praised for being free-to-play friendly and balanced without requiring purchases, the high volume of ads and expensive ad removal options ($27-$30) detract significantly from player enjoyment. Overall, excessive and intrusive advertising is the primary complaint overshadowing an otherwise well-received game.
- “I purchased the no ads experience; it's totally worth it.”
- “If there can be no ads, I think it's better.”
- “There are 3-6 ads for a single 20-30 second battle... the pay-to-play aspect is huge, literally chunking off entire swathes of content.”
- “Like the artwork, and the game is pretty much balanced, but the greediness of the publisher killed this game which should be full of potential. Ads once every few stages plus 20 ads per day that just give you enough for 2 premium summons, combined with using 2 kinds of premium currency—diamonds from ads and quests with limited usage, and rubies only from the cash shop. Honestly, whether this system or the ads system by itself is okay, but combining all three is problematic.”
- “Good game, but $27 for the ad-free pack is just a rip-off!”

grinding

The game features a noticeable grind, especially for relics and progression, which can feel slow and challenging to reach late-game content. While some players find the grind manageable and part of the experience, others feel it could benefit from better balance to reduce frustration. Overall, the grind is seen as a key but sometimes taxing element of the gameplay.
- “After spending about 50 hours grinding relics and money, I'm not even close to touching the late game events.”
- “I'm going to keep grinding it out and see if I can pass the wall, but some balance to the enemies and the unit cost/cooldown nerfs of later stages needs to be addressed.”
- “Frustrating farming for relics.”
stability

- “A few concerns are that the game freezes a lot, which is a bummer.”
- “Good lord, the freezes.”

The story aspect is appreciated for its engaging content and potential, though some users wish for more frequent updates and lore expansion. Connectivity issues after completing the story mode slightly hinder the experience, but overall, the game offers enjoyable and rewarding storytelling without intrusive ads or paywalls.
- “During the time this reviewer wrote this, the game has (and hopefully will keep) no unrewarded ads and features a story that encourages replay. It includes environmental effects for companions' elements (creatures that defend the base) and reviewable, detailed companion stats right away to see which companions are desirable. It's free-to-play and appears to be enjoyable without needing any in-app purchases, with generous probability for heroes. I want more!”
