Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and frustrating, as progress is hindered by insufficient gold and gems to unlock heroes and level up skills. Many report hitting a difficulty wall early on, making it necessary to grind extensively to advance, especially after recent price increases for units. Overall, the consensus is that the grinding mechanics detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“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 monetization model is generally well-received, as it does not force players to watch ads, and in-app purchases are optional. While there are many ads, they offer rewards, which players appreciate, allowing them to engage with the game without spending money directly. Overall, the approach strikes a balance between ad presence and player enjoyment.
“In-app purchases are optional.”
“The game offers a fair monetization model that doesn't pressure players to spend money.”
“I appreciate that the monetization system allows for a balanced experience without forcing players to pay.”
“I never spent any money on the game, but I watched so many ads that I'm sure I paid a good amount of money that way.”
“Lots of ads but with rewards.”
“Games great, it's a great time passer and offers decent challenge; rewarded ads are always a plus for me as well.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches such as disappearing troops, unresponsive gameplay, and character data loss. Players have reported frustrating experiences with game mechanics, particularly during battles and boss encounters, which detracts from overall enjoyment.
“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.
“I had to uninstall it because of performance issues. When there are a certain number of units on the screen, the FPS drops to around 5-10, making it impossible to control the game during such lag.”
“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.”
