The game's optimization has been criticized for significant performance issues, particularly during the initial moments of each match, leading to noticeable lag. Additionally, players have reported ongoing performance problems throughout matches, which detract from the overall experience.
- “Other issues are performance problems, which give you a gigantic lag for the first 1-2 minutes of every match (it improves after that).”
- “Massive performance problems at the start of a match.”
- “The default Damascus map isn't really well done; the Roman soldiers end up as underpowered victims, and I haven't even talked about the performance problems in every match or the awful money system in the game, which totally unbalances the matches.”

- “I encountered numerous bugs that disrupted gameplay, such as characters getting stuck in the environment and inconsistent frame rates.”
monetization

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for heavily relying on microtransactions and weapon skins, resembling other hero-clone shooters and focusing on extracting as much money as possible from players for cosmetic changes.
- “For one thing, it's playing copycat with all the other hero-clone shooters out there, with microtransactions and weapon skins, and the standard routine of trying to suck up every penny for a pixel color change that it can.”
- “The monetization model feels overly aggressive, pushing players to spend money on features that should be part of the base game.”
- “It's frustrating to see so many essential items locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game without shelling out extra cash.”

Gameplay is criticized for its poor design, particularly in PvP arenas where players can quickly die, and essential mechanics force them to divert their attention to the ground. The lack of incentives and a monotonous camping loop further detract from the experience, making it feel unengaging and frustrating.
- “Now think about this for a moment: you're in a PvP arena where you can die in the blink of an eye from another player, and a core game mechanic requires you to keep looking at the ground and distracting yourself.”
- “Beyond that, the mechanics of getting ammo, health packs, etc. are also really poorly designed.”
- “The lack of incentives on top of a cold gameplay loop of camping is not a good start to a PvE/PvP game.”
