The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the visual quality and character designs, describing them as "good" or "awesome." However, several users report issues such as blurriness, lag, and freezing during gameplay, which detracts from the overall experience. While some believe the graphics have potential, they also call for improvements to enhance clarity and performance, especially in comparison to other popular MOBA games.
- “The graphics and heroes' skills were awesome, and the effects and the voiceover.”
- “Best and decent game, I love it, finding matches is so easy and the graphics are wonderful. Another reason I love the game is its low storage capacity; people having low storage could easily enjoy MOBA games.”
- “The game is awesome! The graphics, the control is so perfect but the FPS is so low, 30 FPS?”
- “The game is very slow, the graphics are blurry, the cursor to enable the hero to move doesn't seem to work - it has its own movement which made my hero move so slow and being killed.”
- “One of the badly executed MOBA alternatives to Mobile Legends; the graphics are substandard, the music is cliché.”
- “Graphics are not up to the mark if we compare with other MOBA games.”

- “It runs smoothly, it's fast-paced, the character designs are flawless, and the uniqueness with the skill diversity is amazing.”
- “After I downloaded the game and its resources, it suddenly stopped working. I could only play the tutorial, and it keeps logging me out or saying that there is no connection, even though I'm using Wi-Fi. Please improve your game; it wastes others' time, and I'll wait for better performance.”
- “The game is good, but I have to give it 1 star because when I play in ranked mode, it always says, 'Your current battle is not synchronized with the server, please restart the game,' which leads to me being reported for negative performance.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it often continues to play even when the game freezes or becomes unresponsive. Critics describe the soundtrack as clichéd and repetitive, lacking the excitement needed to enhance gameplay. Overall, while the music is present, it fails to elevate the gaming experience, and players express a desire for more variety and improvement.
- “Nice concept, superb heroes, but lacks thrilling music when playing. It's like something is not right.”
- “Please make some background music in the game; people are tired of hearing the same beat over and over again, even if it's ending.”

- “One of the badly executed MOBA alternatives to Mobile Legends. There is nothing about this game that makes it even distantly competitive in the genre. Heroes are typically a rip-off from the more popular games, which can be excused if it had better graphics. The graphics are substandard, and the music is cliché.”
- “The hero sound couldn't come out, just the music, although I already turned on the sound effects in the options.”
- “Please make some background music in the game. People are tired of hearing the same beat over and over again, even if it's ending.”

Players appreciate the game's potential, particularly its characters and story, but express a desire for deeper lore and backstories for more heroes beyond just one character, Harker. They suggest that enhancing the narrative elements and adding more quests could significantly improve engagement and gameplay experience. Overall, while the story aspect is seen as promising, it requires further development to fully captivate players.
- “This game has a lot of potential; the characters, story, UI, and graphics are impressive.”
- “It would be more interesting if we knew the characters' stories. I think so far there's only one character who has his story - Harker. It would be really nice to learn about the others' pasts too, but besides that, the characters are amazing and the graphics are great.”
- “Please release the upcoming hero and the lore/backstory for the heroes; thank you.”
- “This game has a lot of potential, but the story feels underdeveloped and lacks depth.”

The monetization aspect of the game is mixed; while it offers a fun experience without ads, players find it challenging to progress without spending money on in-game purchases, which can be frustrating. Some users report issues with the user interface and unfulfilled promises regarding purchased content, leading to perceptions of the game as a low-quality cash grab. Overall, while it is possible to play for free, doing so significantly hampers the experience.
- “The good thing: it's pretty fun to spend some 15-20 minutes, no ads. The bad things: you have to wait 60 seconds to respawn sometimes, gets pretty boring to play the same map over and over again. Nice hero selection, pretty hard to get though; you have to pay for a lot of stuff, although you can make it without too, just much harder.”
- “It has no ads like Heroes of Order and Chaos, and I am yet to run into unfair matchmaking.”
- “My second issue was that I was promised a hero with an in-app purchase, which I didn't receive.”
- “Cheap af, low-effort, low quality cash grab.”

grinding

- “The game is not well optimized with rewards, and there are no alternatives for farming gold or even active events.”
