- “This game has an interesting premise, but the graphics and gameplay seem okay. However, the audio irritated me so much that I only finished the tutorial phase.”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and slow, with progress in leveling up and gaining achievements feeling particularly drawn out. Despite its grindy nature, some players still express a level of enjoyment, indicating a mixed reception.
- “So, long story short, the game is not perfect; rather boring and grindy. I wouldn't recommend it... but somehow I quite liked it.”
- “One level up gives one stat point; grinding up the player rating advances very slowly. After 8 seasons, my bot starter ADC rose from 57 to 66. Also, grinding hero XP is taking very long.”
- “There is no 'farming' or 'last hits' stat in a MOBA game. What the actual hell???”
music

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the trance-techno soundtrack acceptable but ultimately unremarkable. However, many users have reported significant audio issues, including persistent electronic buzzing that detracts from the overall experience and interferes with other audio. Overall, while the music has potential, technical problems have left players frustrated and disappointed.
- “The trance-techno music combined with long periods of downtime, such as the transition between seasons, and the requirement to increase your 'fame' to go up in a skill division, make this a poor experience.”
- “This game has an interesting premise, but they seriously need to fix their audio. Right off the bat, I hear a nice catchy tune, but it's bugged with this strange electronic buzzing sound all the time. Even worse, it prevents me from listening to any other audio; otherwise, it's riddled with the same sound until I close the game. The recent update fixed the sound effects, but the music is still riddled with it. The driver I'm using is the most up-to-date one, and the fact that it affects audio outside the game gives me reason to believe that it isn't supposed to be there. The graphics and gameplay seem okay, but the audio irritated me so much that I only finished the tutorial phase, which did seem well thought out, but I haven't gotten into the real 'meat' of the game yet, so I can't really talk about the difficulty.”
- “The sounds in this game are bad; the background sounds are mediocre, and the background music is so bad.”
