The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players reporting an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay and a reliance on in-app purchases to progress. Many users feel that the prices for removing ads and other in-game items are excessively high, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab rather than a balanced gaming experience. While some appreciate the option to skip ads, the overall sentiment is that the game prioritizes monetization over player enjoyment, resulting in frustration and dissatisfaction.
- “I went ahead and paid $10 for no ads, more paid because I like the game and I love not feeling bullied into paying for ad removal (excessive ads for nothing drive me away). Thanks for an awesome game.”
- “The only plus to this is the no ads purchase is not that expensive.”
- “No ads, unless you want 2x, which is positive.”
- “The entire existence of everything in this game is to make you spend money or watch ads, not for entertainment.”
- “You either have to pay or watch millions and millions of ads to progress.”
- “It's just ads everywhere, every 5-10 seconds.”

The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players noting that there is no clear narrative or character development, leaving them feeling disconnected from the gameplay. While some find the premise amusing, such as the humorous ad storyline, many express a desire for a more substantial plot and meaningful interactions within the game world. Overall, the absence of a compelling story detracts from the experience, making it feel more like a time-waster than a fully realized game.
- “Good game but it needs more story and game mechanics.”
- “Games are pretty cool, nice graphics but no achievements to gain or purpose/story to follow.”
- “I love the story shown in the ad, basically the equivalent of 'she dumped me, so I bulldozed her house.' Sadly, the game is lazy.”
- “+interesting idea +funny animation +customization of necromancer +rewards ~ there is no plot in the game (who is the necromancer, why do we kill those people, who are those people) -> kill live creatures, kill live creatures ~ it would be good to have interactions with other necromancers - no description of units, next units with the same tier and level can be weaker by power than start units, maybe there are some skills, but it is not shown.”

- “Very addictive, cute graphics and characters, easy gameplay, so much fun, love the upgrades and the game is awesome.”

- “Nothing has lagged as much as this app did; the graphics were very choppy and everything I did had a late response.”

While some players appreciate the spooky and catchy elements, many express frustration over the inability to adjust settings or listen to other music simultaneously, indicating poor optimization. Overall, the music adds a nice feel to the game, but its execution leaves much to be desired.
- “Spooky music!”

- “It's fine, catchy music.”
- “Nice graphics, but animations are jaggy, and repetitive music which is a very short loop and gets boring quite early.”

grinding
14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be frustrating, particularly due to a significant difficulty spike around wave 40 that makes progress feel tedious and unrewarding. Many feel that the game incentivizes spending money on items that accelerate advancement, rendering the grinding and ad-watching largely pointless. While some acknowledge the game is free and understand the need for monetization, the overall sentiment leans towards disappointment with the grinding experience.
- “Grind for hours, watch tons of ads, get nowhere... but then realize the items you have to pay for advance you so quickly there's no point to the grinding or ads.”
- “Game is good but... at wave 40 my level 11 skeleton tier 81, which is my strongest, becomes pure garbage and is one shot by those knights. There is a huge difficulty spike at wave 40, so grinding comes to a crawl past wave 35.”
- “Progressed fast and well, until wave 80 and it then became tedious, with little reward.”

The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players reporting consistently low frame rates (15-20 fps) even on high-performance devices, frequent crashes, and overheating issues.

While some note slight improvements, the general consensus is that significant optimization is still needed.
- “You should invest in performance instead of marketing.”
- “Considering I originally uninstalled it because it would heat my phone up to somewhere around 70 degrees, it's definitely optimized much better now.”
- “Broken and won't start; the P2P aspects aren't worth it with how buggy and unoptimized it is, along with the overheating and lack of device usage information.”
- “Horrible optimization; my phone can run Asphalt at 60fps, but this game crashes it.”
- “Poorly optimized; I can't access settings to turn off the music.”
humor

Players note that the presence of constant "optional" ads enhances the game's replayability by providing additional opportunities to engage with the content. However, the frequency of these ads may also detract from the overall experience for some users.
