The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, addictive, and strategically engaging, particularly for fans of the Godzilla franchise. Players appreciate the variety of characters and mechanics, though many express frustration with issues like lag, unbalanced matchmaking, and frequent disconnections. While the core gameplay loop is enjoyable, concerns about repetitive elements and the impact of microtransactions on the experience are also noted.
- “A very fun Godzilla game, with a lot of characters from the kaiju history and a gameplay loop that's simple yet addictive.”
- “The gameplay is enjoyable and very fun.”
- “The core gameplay is ridiculously fun, especially if you're a big kaiju fan.”
- “I'm sure there is an admirable reason as to why it was put in place, but it completely ruins the gameplay.”
- “This gameplay was alright at first, but as you get further and further along in matchmaking it becomes abundantly clear that it is broken or that there are simply not enough concurrent players as you are constantly pitted against people with units that barely take a scratch from anything you send against them.”
- “The game used to be quite fun but after the recent update... it's just unplayable anymore, the developer should take more risks in developing this game rather than make it safe that apparently how it turned out now.. monster battle mechanic is pretty imbalanced to like not enough crowd control monster, and need proper buff and nerf of each monster from time to time rather than changing the cost of it during the game.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent glitches, crashes, and connection issues reported during matches. Many players experience frustrating freezes that hinder gameplay, often resulting in automatic losses or the inability to deploy units. While some acknowledge the game's potential and enjoyment, the overwhelming consensus is that persistent bugs and instability severely detract from the overall experience.
- “No glitches at all.”
- “The game definitely came a long way since it first launched. I have played since the pre-beta days, and I must say this is by far the busiest yet best bug-free game there is.”
- “I enjoy the game, and the only thing that bugs me is the quests that are buggy.”
- “Like others stated, too many connection issues occur during matches where the game freezes for both players and neither of us can summon units, so we're both stuck waiting for the match to countdown or one of us gives up.”
- “I really like this game a lot, but it makes it difficult to play when it's almost constantly freezing, crashing, or having an error when matching. A couple of times it freezes at the beginning of a match, and I end up losing either by doing nothing or having to restart the app again.”
- “Constant instability issues; 5 bars of 5G yet every time I go into battle, the game freezes, and it's an automatic loss in a high competitive arena environment. This is completely unacceptable!”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the high cost of microtransactions and the presence of a pay-to-win model that favors those who spend money. While some users appreciate the optional nature of ads and the lack of intrusive advertising, others report frequent crashes and issues with ad availability, which can hinder gameplay. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable content, the monetization strategies are seen as overly aggressive and frustrating by a significant portion of the player base.
- “Pretty good game for this type of game. Upgrades aren't too easy but not too hard to get. Playing against people is fun, and there are absolutely no ads at all.”
- “I really love the Godzilla franchise. There are in-app purchases, but they're not shoved down your throat. All in all, 7/10 fun game.”
- “No annoying microtransactions needed to play, though they are available if you want.”
- “Microtransactions are expensive for what you get, and there's an invisible distinction between free and paid premium currency; some shop items cannot be bought with free currency.”
- “Just an awful cash grab of a game with certain premium pieces being overpowered and missions not even tracking on events, and a ham-fisted battle pass worth nothing.”
- “Great core gameplay, but it's hard to look past the microtransactions and endless ads.”

The reviews highlight a significant demand for a story mode in the game, as players express frustration over the lack of narrative content and reliance on PvP matches. Many users report bugs related to missions and quests, which further detracts from the overall experience, emphasizing the need for improved gameplay mechanics and a more engaging storyline. Overall, while the game shows potential, the absence of a compelling story and the presence of technical issues are major points of contention among players.

- “It's a fun game, but it needs a campaign story to it.”
- “Great game! I wish there was an offline mode or story mode to stomp around in.”
- “Love the game 🎮, need a storyline and A.I.”
- “Really needs to be some kind of story mode.”
- “The game is fun, however you can only play PvP... no quests, no story mode, no raid battle to play, so when there's no people playing online you can't play anything.”

- “I love the visuals and music, and it is fun to collect various monsters.”
- “I have background music turned off, but it randomly comes on anyway, and sometimes the sound just cuts out.”
- “Just downloaded it, all I get is a black screen and garbage starting music that repeats every 3 seconds; you didn't have the brain power to make a looping song?”
