The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its unique mechanics and depth, particularly in PvP modes, while others criticize the clunky controls, poor collision mechanics, and a frustrating camera system. Many users feel that the combat system, which relies heavily on blocking and parrying, is poorly executed, leading to a disjointed experience. Overall, while the game has potential with its interesting mechanics and visuals, significant improvements are needed to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
- “The gameplay is awesome as well!”
- “The game has lovable characters, a plethora of skins and emotes you can unlock in-game or buy, and the gameplay is just so fun!”
- “Besides battle royale solo/team, free for all, it also has 1v1 tag match which I love - the mechanics are designed in a way so you can always do something, and winning requires thinking and adjusting your strategy in real time a lot more than in most other games.”
- “The collision mechanics are garbage at best. The controls are so confusing and unorthodox; a pebble the size of a dime stops you in your tracks instead of allowing you to run over it. The block and parry system is way too broken, and half the time your abilities are impossible to land. One reason is they can be blocked, which is absolutely stupid, and secondly, they are mostly skill-based, so if you use the lock-on system, you'll never land an ability if the enemy is moving at all.”
- “Best refund I ever had. This game's combat mechanics are so clunky and broken that it makes it stupidly unenjoyable to the point that I'm shocked Monto recommended it. He should have thrown that trashy game into the dumpster fire from which this game came.”
- “The gameplay design loop is bad, and the combat feels bad. The mechanics feel clunky, and it takes ages to find a game on the EU server.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both extensive and frustrating, often requiring significant time spent farming mobs, bosses, and resources to progress.

- “Farming mobs, killing bosses, finding chests and NPCs to upgrade all while death closes in on you.”
- “The battle royale mode is literally just farming mobs, which could be one of the most boring experiences in my life, and the tag team mode is unbalanced and has a very bad matchmaking system.”
- “95% farming, 5% dying.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the cosmetic-only microtransactions priced reasonably, others criticize the presence of ads and perceive the game as a cash grab. Overall, there is a call for better advertising to enhance the game's visibility, but the microtransaction model is seen as less intrusive compared to other titles.
- “There are microtransactions in this game, but they are 100% only cosmetics. For about 3.4 euros, you can buy one of the most expensive skins, which is quite generous compared to other games with microtransactions.”
- “On top of this, they have opted to already have microtransactions and not like a battle pass or anything. I'm not really opposed to this, honestly.”
- “Microtransactions tend to be the bane of my existence, but so far this title doesn't have too many.”
- “Reminds me strongly of some MOBA smartphone games with pay-to-win mechanics and plastered with ads.”

- “Buggy, laggy cash grab.”

The game's stability is criticized for significant delays in skill activation and a lack of responsive combat mechanics, leading to a perception of it being a "buggy unfinished mess." While there are no major crashes or severe technical issues like rubberbanding, players report various bugs and lag, suggesting that it may be best to wait for improvements before purchasing.
- “Also, chaining attacks or combos are non-existent in this game; skills activate 2 seconds after you press them. Blocking and dodging have the same delay. It's a buggy, unfinished mess that does not deserve to be out yet. Go buy Naraka; at least that will have a developer that knows a little more about combat and games.”
- “Buggy, laggy cash grab.”
- “It's a fun game; I would personally wait until it's on sale. It's still a bit buggy; however, you expect that from a new game.”
