The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its unique card mechanics and fast-paced action, which add variety and creativity to each match. However, some users have criticized the movement mechanics as clunky and slow, leading to frustration during gameplay. Overall, while the core mechanics and gunplay are generally well-received, issues with monetization and balance have detracted from the experience for some players.
- “The mix of hero shooter and card mechanics is something I didn't know I needed.”
- “The gameplay itself is fun, but I do feel like some weapons feel way stronger than others.”
- “Every match feels completely unique, thanks to the game’s innovative mechanics that constantly mix things up.”
- “The gameplay feels lackluster, with mechanics that fail to engage, and the system is riddled with issues that hinder the overall experience.”
- “The characters feel generic and forgettable, and the movement is clunky and awkward, which makes the gameplay feel off.”
- “Overall, I think if they rework the movement system (literally just increase the movement speed and add a slide mechanic) and at least make the 'ranked' mode first to 11 round wins or something like that, it could be a great game.”

The monetization in the game is extensive and aggressive, featuring numerous microtransactions, currencies, and a battle pass system primarily focused on cosmetic items. While many players appreciate that there is no pay-to-win element, the overwhelming presence of microtransactions and the complexity of the currency system have drawn criticism, with some labeling it as a cash grab. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some players finding the monetization acceptable given the free-to-play model, while others feel it detracts significantly from the gaming experience.
- “It can have up to 10,000 currencies for all I care since there is no pay-to-win and it's not present here at all, so the gameplay is not affected by monetization.”
- “While its monetization is extensive, it does not seem predatory or negatively impact gameplay.”
- “Monetization-wise, I don't feel forced to spend money, which is a plus.”
- “The monetization is almost criminal, but there's decent rewards for free-to-play if you can grind for them.”
- “This game has the worst monetization I have ever seen.”
- “It's honestly overwhelming and makes the whole experience feel more like a cash grab than a game.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game, with some finding it rewarding while others view it as excessively tedious, especially for unlocking characters and items. Many express frustration over the high costs and time required to progress, particularly in ranked matchmaking, which can feel unbalanced. Overall, while some appreciate the grind as a means to enhance satisfaction, others criticize it as a barrier to enjoyment, especially in a free-to-play context.
- “Not to mention that hero unlocks require paying or grinding as well.”
- “I don't ever write reviews but this game was a huge disappointment for me with its release. I spent over 100 hours in the beta; the movement and gunplay were fantastic. Now it feels slower than ever, and don't get me started on the 9 different currencies and the 20 different menus to navigate. The fact that other characters take over 20 hours to unlock just by grinding gold is astonishing. The beta was definitely a more polished and enjoyable experience overall.”
- “It's so uninspired, generic, and just a systematic game designed for farming engagement and microtransactions.”
