The gameplay is generally smooth, but heavily criticized for its pay-to-win mechanics, which significantly impact player progression and balance. Many reviewers find the design choices, such as the jungle monster buff system and the lack of viable roles, to be poorly executed, leading to frustrating experiences and a lack of originality in character design. Overall, the game suffers from severe balance issues and broken mechanics that detract from the overall enjoyment.
“The gameplay runs pretty well.”
“The mechanics are just hella broken.”
“The pay-to-win system affects your gameplay at all times, since the stone active abilities (comparable to summoner spells from League of Legends) become much stronger the further you advance on a VIP ladder, making spending money on this game as you progress unavoidable lest you want to continue.”
“And finally, they made one of the worst gameplay designs that I have ever seen: instead of runes, they have a jungle monster, and you can't know what buff will be dropped out of him before this monster is slain; instead of Roshan, we have Zakar, who is extremely hard to beat and gives like 30 attack damage and 20 spell damage, so nobody even touches him; there are no junglers or roamers, but trio lanes are stupid, so even on the pro scene they go 2-1-2 laning each game; hero balance is horrible, I don't even want to talk about it, just trust me, I was silver in there before I left this game.”
“Every character I looked at - both visually and gameplay-wise - was a cheaply made version of an existing hero/champion in Dota/LoL.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, frequently freezing at critical points such as the "logging in" screen and the quit screen. Users report lag, bugs, and an overall lack of reliability, detracting from the gaming experience.
“It has only a couple of seconds install time, but then it just freezes at the 'logging in' screen for the EU server.”
“The game freezes at the quit screen.”
“Laggy, buggy, and pay-to-win.”

The game's graphics are generally considered acceptable, especially given its small file size of only 80 MB and quick installation time of under 10 seconds. While not exceptional, they are viewed as a positive aspect of the game.
“The graphics look okay considering it took me literally less than a second to install the game.”
“The graphics are not awful; I think it's one of the only pluses of the game.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect in games like Dota 2 and League of Legends, highlighting the significant time investment required to learn heroes, items, and game mechanics. This steep learning curve can be a barrier for newcomers, making the initial experience feel tedious.
“My biggest problem with Dota 2 and LoL was the amount of time spent early on learning the heroes, learning the items, and grinding knowledge, among other things.”
