Players consistently express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that progress is hindered by insufficient gold and gems, making it difficult to unlock heroes and level up skills. Many feel that the increased costs introduced in the last patch have exacerbated the grind, leading to a challenging experience that detracts from overall enjoyment.
- “There is a lot of grinding to make progress, and you don't get enough gold or gems to unlock all the heroes, much less level up a skill near max before it's done.”
- “You hit a difficulty wall early in the game, and it becomes very grindy to increase skills to pass levels.”
- “Last patch was great, but the prices of units were really raised, so the game became much more grindy.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches such as disappearing troops, unresponsive gameplay, and issues with character and equipment loss. Players also experience frustrating mechanics, like enemies with excessive range and unmanageable boss encounters that lead to game freezes. Overall, these stability issues significantly detract from the gaming experience.
- “Neat little game full of glitches (troops disappearing mid-battle and unable to use heroes' abilities all of a sudden) and erased my character/equipment that I paid real money for.”
- “It's an okay game, but what I don't like is that when the enemy has ridiculous range enough to hit the castle from the far right side... and then the only way to get 3 stars is to send the wave when it has 5 seconds or else you get 2 stars. To continue with my rant, you can't get past the desert stage 3 when the worm boss comes out; the game glitches and becomes unresponsive.”
- “He freezes all my guys and kills them instantly.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for severe performance issues, particularly when multiple units are on screen, leading to a drastic drop in frame rates to 5-10 fps, making gameplay nearly unmanageable.

- “The optimization is terrible; the game frequently stutters and crashes, especially during intense battles.”
- “Even on high-end hardware, the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, which ruins the overall experience.”
