The gameplay of the game is characterized by its unique and innovative mechanics, particularly the marble-like and pinball-style elements that many players find engaging and addictive. However, a significant portion of the content is reported to be bugged, and some users note that the gameplay can become monotonous and repetitive over time, especially with the presence of pay-to-win mechanics that may hinder free-to-play players. Overall, while the graphics and core gameplay are praised, there are calls for improvements in balance and content variety to enhance the overall experience.
“The gameplay is genuinely fun, with unique gameplay and decent content.”
“Gameplay is fun, but it isn't used in PvP, which is really the late game of the game.”
“The gameplay is original and really addictive.”
“Gameplay was a little monotonous and repetitive.”
“Don't be fooled by early gameplay; it gets repetitive extremely fast and progress grinds to a halt to encourage you to make in-game transactions. If you want to be successful in the game, bring money.”
“The gameplay and such interest me, but the crashing part just makes everything a major turn off.”

The game's story is widely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players noting that it feels non-existent or poorly developed. While some enjoy the gameplay and quest mechanics, they express a desire for a more compelling narrative and character backstories to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, numerous technical issues, particularly with the tutorial and mission progression, further detract from the storytelling aspect, leaving players frustrated and disengaged.
“The game is overall great, just would like to see epic hero promo packs for the older SS heroes too please, not just the old ones, fix the guild war bugs, and it would be nice to see a reviving option with diamonds in the campaign mode, it would make clearing harder missions a little bit easier, also maybe you should install a difficulty level on every mode of the game, like the field of glory.”
“It's easy to control but the story of this game is very addictive.”
“Make us know more about our favorite characters by giving us story-based missions/campaigns.”
“There is no story.”
“Game lacks any kind of story so can't give it a 5 rating but it's great for passing time.”
“An RPG without a plot is just like a cake with only flour.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players labeling it as a "cash grab" due to high prices for in-app purchases and the presence of paywalls for essential characters and upgrades. While some users appreciate the absence of forced ads and the ability to play for free, they express frustration over the game's reliance on microtransactions and the perceived imbalance between paying and non-paying players. Overall, the sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the monetization strategy, highlighting a trend towards excessive costs and limited accessibility for free-to-play users.
“Extremely fun, endless side quests and games, plus did I mention 'no ads ever'.”
“Great game, offers in-game purchases (which are kinda expensive) but you can complete the whole campaign without them.”
“While they do still supply in-app purchases, they give you a lot of stuff all the time for free when you complete missions and objectives, so you almost don't need to buy gems or anything which is really nice.”
“Aside from being a major cash grab and having a terrible business platform, they didn't learn from other major RPGs like WoW that having too many different in-game currencies is unnecessarily redundant and confusing.”
“The latest update is an abhorrent cash grab, with loved features being removed and previously accessible characters being blocked behind a paywall.”
“This game is absolutely atrocious with paywall stamina and overly priced in-app purchases.”

The reviews highlight that "grinding" is a significant aspect of the game, with many players noting it can be excessive and often feels like a necessary evil to progress, especially for free-to-play users. While some enjoy the grinding as a way to engage with the game, others find it tedious and feel it creates a pay-to-win environment, where spending money can significantly reduce the time spent grinding. Overall, the experience of grinding varies widely among players, with some appreciating the challenge and others feeling overwhelmed by the demands it places on their time.
“No grinding, and it's so easy to get a new S-rank hero every 2-3 days during your first week of play.”
“After many hours of grinding and some spare change I have invested in the game, I would say that this game is not for everyone.”
“No story, just grinding. They would just release new heroes making the last released hero useless, full of ripped-off heroes from other games. Also, the devs don't fix the bugs like the color bugs that are always happening in guild wars.”
“Do not play: this game is a money sink specifically designed to create a pay-wall that you must pass by either spending dozens of hours grinding across multiple weeks or by simply paying your way past.”

Character development in the game is highlighted by its imaginative and high-quality character designs, which many players find appealing and addictive. However, there are criticisms regarding the limited diversity and depth of character progression, with some players expressing a desire for more free-to-play heroes and better farming mechanics for upgrades. Overall, while the visuals are praised, the gameplay experience could benefit from enhanced character development options.
“I love the character designs.”
“Beautiful character design.”
“Unique character designs and superb graphics.”
“Not that great... idea copied from Strike Force but character development and diversity is very limited and characters are too 3D bubble cartoon style. Definitely prefer a more comic book style character.”
“Same as last time.... the game really needs more free-to-play heroes.... and also a better way to farm for relic tokens because they are the most important aspect of character development. It takes weeks and even months to farm for a single weapon to go up one level.... then at 4 stars it takes two weapons to go up one star.”
“Used to really like the characters but ever since the new updates came out, the character designs are just really, really awful.”
