The gameplay is marred by a pervasive pay-to-win system that significantly impacts player progression and experience. Critics highlight poor design choices, such as the reliance on unpredictable jungle monsters for buffs and an unbalanced hero roster, leading to frustrating mechanics and a lack of strategic depth. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a derivative and flawed experience that fails to innovate or provide a fair competitive environment.
“The gameplay runs pretty well.”
“Every character I looked at - both visually and gameplay-wise - was a cheaply made version of an existing hero/champion in Dota/LoL.”
“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 unless 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 from 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 in 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 there before I left this game.”
“The mechanics are just hella broken.”

The game experiences significant stability issues, including freezing during the login process and at the quit screen, leading to a frustrating user experience. Players also report lag and bugs, contributing to an overall perception of instability.
“It has only a couple of seconds install time, but then it just freezes at the 'logging in' screen for the EU server.”
“Laggy, buggy, and pay-to-win.”

The game's graphics are considered decent, 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 overall experience.
“The graphics look okay considering it took me literally less than a second to install the game.”
“The game is competitive and can be downloaded in 10 seconds, and the graphics are not awful; I think that's the only plus of the game.”
“The graphics are underwhelming and feel outdated compared to other games released this year.”
“I expected more from the visuals; they seem rushed and lack detail.”
“The character models are poorly designed, making it hard to immerse myself in 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.”
