- “It's a fun game; you can create your own units, but I don't really know how it works, haha, but the gameplay is very fun.”
- “While I would recommend this game because of its simple gameplay and somewhat entertaining battles, it's not exactly in my top 10 favorites, nor even close, to be honest.”
- “The gameplay is okay; however, once I finally made a unit, the game no longer worked for me.”

- “Not to say the achievements are just simple tasks without a proper challenge. I unlocked them all with 9.5 hours of gameplay, and I wasn't even hunting for them most of the time!”
