The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics, smooth controls, and addictive loop, making it enjoyable for both casual and dedicated players. However, some users note that it can become repetitive, particularly for free-to-play players, and express concerns about the impact of monetization on character accessibility and overall experience.

- “The gameplay is honestly so addicting, I practically have to tire myself out just to stop playing.”

- “The gameplay loop is simple but well executed; it is truly free to play, with a good variety of enemies, and late-game runs are genuinely challenging.”
- “The only problem is the gameplay; it feels empty and automated.”
- “The gameplay can get a bit repetitive, so I would support more gameplays and maybe a try-out dojo for trying out different skill sets.”
- “The main enemy isn't the mobs or any gameplay mechanics; it is the often frozen and unresponsive controls.”

My phone's RAM is 2GB, 🤔 before downloading it showed here that it's compatible for my device but whenever I try to open it, it's showing only some of the things from the game in line...
