grinding

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and often tedious, particularly after the initial excitement fades. Many reviews highlight that leveling up and farming for materials becomes a repetitive chore, with some feeling that updates have only increased the grind. While some enjoy the grind as part of the mobile gaming experience, others express frustration over slow progression and the need for significant time investment or spending money to advance.
- “The game is very grindy and repetitive after the initial hype (act 0 & 1) wear off.”
- “Unfortunately, aside from impressive visuals, the game has nothing to offer: there is almost nothing to do, I only saw 8-9 characters/enemies (they are the same) and the grinding is neverending.”
- “Great game, but becomes incredibly boring after a while; repetitive hunting for resources makes it tedious.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the viability of free-to-play options, while others criticize the aggressive push towards in-game purchases, particularly after updates that increase difficulty. Many users express concerns about the reliance on microtransactions for progression and character enhancement, labeling it as a potential cash grab despite the game's solid gameplay and visuals. Overall, while the game offers a good experience without ads, the monetization practices may deter some players.
- “The game is friendly for free-to-play players, although in-game purchases are available.”
- “So far, microtransactions are not an issue as they do not affect gameplay other than speeding up progression, which is good since I trust talented developers with financial matters.”
- “Seems like a lot of love and a lot of base content before microtransactions, though they are obvious.”
- “While this game is solid, it all points to games that turn into 'jobs' and a paywall with heavy monetization.”
- “The rewards are weak, and the monetization is aggressive.”
- “Unfortunately, they borrowed from Raid Shadow Legends in that summons are poor, and you don't get premium currency at a fast rate, forcing you into microtransactions to get summoning tickets.”

character development

Character development in the game is criticized for its flawed upgrade system, where newly recruited characters with highlighted traits can overshadow fully leveled champions, diminishing the value of player investment. While the character design and art style receive praise for their quality and appeal, the limited selection of heroes and lack of incentives for character progression detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the visual and audio elements are well-received, contributing to a promising aesthetic.
- “Everything from the gameplay to the visual and character designs is just insane.”
- “Until now, the game seems promising and fun in most aspects such as character design and art style, not to mention the graphics which look pretty solid.”
- “Cannot deny the quality of the visual and audio elements though, lovely character design.”
- “As the game is still improving, the character design and upgrades system is flawed. Recruiting characters with highlighted traits nullifies any champion you've maxed out or leveled up gear for, because when both are maxed to the same level, the champion with highlighted traits outshines any with even one instead of two highlighted traits.”
- “Furthermore, the limited selection of heroes and the lack of incentive for character development hinder the game's overall appeal.”
