The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising their high quality, vibrant art style, and attention to detail in character design. Players appreciate the smooth performance across various devices, noting that the visuals enhance the overall gaming experience. However, some reviews mention issues with gameplay mechanics and crashes, which detract from the otherwise impressive graphical presentation.
“The graphics are amazing, and so much more!”
“Absolutely beautiful graphics and gameplay.”
“The graphics and gameplay are amazing.”
“The game is okay, not a lot of heroes to go around. Graphics are okay, but they could have been much better. Their unique skills need their own special cinematic cutscene every time they are used, so they can stand out even more. Besides that, the game is kind of boring and simple like every other game out there.”
“Worst in-game graphics; it's blurry.”
“30 seconds in the game, forced to watch horrible gameplay and horrible graphics.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its smooth mechanics, engaging character designs, and enjoyable graphics. However, some players expressed disappointment with the repetitive and auto-play nature of the gameplay, as well as issues with bugs and crashes. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience with a variety of modes and progression systems, it also faces criticism for its lack of innovation and heavy monetization.
“Gameplay and progression feels smooth and satisfying, always unlocking new modes and giving you new things to do.”
“The gameplay is good, the art is great and new content just keeps coming.”
“Absolutely amazing game, nice graphics, nice gameplay, easy to understand and it's very simple in comparison with other similar games.”
“My experience of the game is okay; it has a lot of bugs that keep crashing when you try to load the game multiple times. It crashes when you're trying to play it for about half an hour. Other than that, if you guys could figure out what that is and why it's doing that, the game would be a whole lot better. The graphics, the gameplay, the layout are great. I would love to keep playing the game, but it's hard to play it when it keeps crashing. Fix it or I'm never playing again.”
“Gameplay feels grindy and stale.”
“Boring repetitive gameplay.”

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its interesting characters and engaging plot, while others criticize it as generic or lacking depth. Many users appreciate the graphics and gameplay, but feel that the storytelling could be improved, particularly in terms of providing more lore and character backstories.

“Fantastic story and characters.”
“Great game, love the story and the fact you all put so much detail into this. Great job.”
“Very unique character design, great story, been playing idle games since 2004; this is fresh and well done.”
“It is not a gratifying experience; there is basically no storyline, it just exists to make noises and flash pretty colors as you feed it money.”
“The only thing I would add is some kind of backstory when you first log in since you get thrown into this world without knowing much of anything.”
“It's just a shame there's no 'story' to the main part aside from a few lines, but I'm not going to terminate the game because of it.”

Overall, the character development in the game is highly praised, with many users highlighting the originality and quality of character designs, which stand out from typical mobile games. The graphics and animations are described as impressive, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience. However, some players noted a lack of variety in characters and a few designs that feel derivative of other popular games.
“The character design and worldbuilding are 10/10, some of the best I've seen among many idle clones I've played in this platform that fail to even imagine making, even better than some of the big companies' games.”
“Character designs are cool-looking, animations are smooth and appealing.”
“Very unique character design, great story; been playing idle games since 2004, this is fresh and well done.”
“Lazy auto gameplay, no cutscene for special moves, story puts you to sleep, a small handful of character designs are clearly inspired by Warframe, yet the rest are forgettable at best.”
“When all the character designs are so delicate, but being so small that you can only see a gesture of all the characters already loses half of the charms for me.”
“Trash idle game, battle and animation is clunky, character designs are poor, uninstall.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the heavy reliance on microtransactions and aggressive in-game purchase prompts, which some feel create a pay-to-win environment. While some users appreciate the absence of forced ads and find the in-game purchases optional, others argue that the game feels like a cash grab, particularly due to the presence of exclusive units behind paywalls and frequent sales events. Overall, the monetization is seen as aggressive, with a significant number of players expressing frustration over the high costs and perceived necessity to spend money to progress effectively.
“Seems like there is a better price structure to the in-game purchases.”
“Fun game has in-game purchases but don't see it as pay-to-win so far.”
“Most fair rewards of gacha game played yet, no ads, cool animations and changes as heroes level up, a lot to do 👌”
“I just dislike all the ads asking you to buy this and buy that to progress. It's basically pay to win.”
“Monetization in terms of value vs aggressiveness is towards the aggressive scale. I have spent some money but am also progressing organically.”
“Extremely predatory monetization tactics (sadly, to be expected from any mobile game nowadays), but the real dealbreaker is that certain units (the best ones, duh) are essentially behind a paywall.”

Overall, the game offers rewarding moments but suffers from a lack of free farming content and can become monotonous over time.
“The gacha system is fair, and the leveling process isn't overly grindy!”
“I appreciate how the game balances grinding with rewarding gameplay.”
“Grinding feels satisfying and is well-integrated into the overall experience.”
“It was interesting the first 50 times, but now it's tedious and repetitive.”
“Ended up grinding for 2 weeks just for the game to crash, not allowing me to log in.”
“Unless you're a whale, your progress will eventually slow down, and the grind to upgrade your heroes and gear becomes tedious.”
