The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players find the frequency of ads—often after every match or action—overwhelming and detrimental to the overall experience, with some stating that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Additionally, the subscription model to remove ads, priced at $7.99 per week, is viewed as exorbitant and unjustifiable, leading to frustration and uninstalls among users.
- “The game is amazing and has no ads. The fighting is cool to watch, and you can create custom teams. There are a few other modes, you can level up your characters, the ragdolling is funny, and overall it's a great game, so I would recommend it! 👍”
- “Great game; pretty balanced in terms of microtransactions. Ads can be annoying, but the fact that it's not pay-to-win as much as most games is great.”
- “I have just got this game and I have been enjoying every part of it, especially when I'm on the road, because it has no ads even when online there aren't many.”
- “A lot of ads and $7.99 a week to be rid of these ads isn't justifiable.”
- “I've sat through more time of ads than I have to play the actual game.”
- “It's ridiculous and it sucks because the game is actually fun, but you'll spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and impressive graphics, drawing comparisons to popular titles like Total War. However, many players express frustration with frequent crashes, lag, and excessive ads that disrupt the experience, alongside concerns about pay-to-win elements and the high cost of upgrades.

- “The gameplay is fun and the difficulty increase is a perfect gradation.”
- “Amazing graphics, good gameplay, and superb units.”
- “The gameplay is amazing, way better than Epic Battle Simulator 1.”
- “After two weeks of play, the game constantly crashes, runs at 1 frame per second, online mode won't let you place units due to the agonizing lag and unresponsive UI. It's pay-to-win, and it's salt on the wound when during online gameplay, after the unit placement mode is over, it works fine, as it did when first played, but the menu, placing units, and literally everything else is utterly broken.”
- “There was more ads than gameplay.”
- “Trash game that has ads every three minutes that you can't skip and just freeze, taking one to two minutes. Terrible gameplay too; everything dies so fast, there's no real strategy other than investing in hordes.”

- “Awesome game! I love the way it looks, and there's no glitches.”
- “I'm not 100% sure if it's the game or my phone, but after 3-6 battles it freezes. I like the game, but the upgrade prices are too high and the legendary characters are also too high-priced. Amazing game though.”

Players express a strong desire for a dedicated story mode in the game, highlighting that the current mission structure feels repetitive and lacks depth. Many reviewers suggest that adding a narrative element, character progression, and more diverse missions would significantly enhance the gaming experience. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the absence of a compelling storyline is a common point of criticism.
- “I would love it if you could create a story mode for the game where players can take on a character in first-person and work their way up to defeat the final epic boss, along with more bosses and epic levels.”
- “I wonder if you can add a training ground and a campaign, like a story mode, that would make the game much more enjoyable.”
- “My favorite part was the freeplay and story mode, as it allows for a more immersive experience.”
- “I would love it if you picked your mission, then went to the setup on a different screen, not in the menu.”
- “The best strategy game I ever played, but I do wish for a storyline and a free-roaming mode so people can fight and dig defensive positions.”
- “I love this game so much, but the creator should make a story mode where you can play as a character in first-person mode and create your own character to work your way up until you beat the final epic boss.”
grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and often necessary to progress, especially at higher levels where the difficulty spikes significantly. Many reviews highlight that grinding for gems and upgrades can feel overwhelming and repetitive, with some players feeling pressured to spend money to remain competitive. While the game starts off enjoyable, it tends to become frustrating due to the extensive time required to level up characters and acquire special units.
- “The game is fun at first, but after you reach level 70 and above, the campaign mode becomes very hard and impossible to defeat without buying upgrades and grinding for gems. It is also glitchy; for example, when you manage to kill an elephant, it will suddenly glitch the map and block your sight. Additionally, when you fight a large number of troops, the view suddenly tilts sideways, and onagers and mage towers break instantly when battled with each other. Please add more types of troops and bigger maps.”
- “Grinding for gems is already tedious enough; don't make us pay for units that were free back then.”
- “This game literally eats your money and takes a lot of grinding to get better units. The ads are so annoying that it makes you pay a lot of money per week, and it's not even worth it.”

Overall, players report that the game runs smoothly with decent graphics, but there is a strong desire for more substantial updates beyond just bug fixes and performance improvements.

- “Graphics are great and it runs smoothly!”
- “Very good performance.”
- “With all due respect, I'm waiting for a new update because today it's been all about 'bug fixes' and 'game performance improvement.' I deleted the game for a while, and I'm waiting for a new update with actual new warriors, troops, cavalry, ranged units, etc., as well as new epics and maps. This game is definitely one of the best, but I stopped playing for a while waiting for a new update. It's been months, or even a year, since this game had a cool update, that's all.”
- “The game is pretty good, but I wish we could stop getting bug fixes and get new characters again. Can we please stop getting bug fixes and performance updates and get some new characters, please?”
