- “The monetization options are fair and provide a good balance between free and paid content.”

Gameplay is hindered by a lack of detailed fighter stats and damage impact, leading to a trial-and-error approach that many find tedious and unengaging. While some paid quality-of-life features like autoplay and ad removal are considered affordable and beneficial, they do not compensate for the overall strategic shortcomings.
- “Some of the paid quality of life offers (autoplay, no ads, etc.) are really cheap and worth getting, but the overall lack of fighter stats and their damage impact on the enemy - or effectiveness - makes it nearly impossible to plan any strategy. It all just comes down to trial-and-error gameplay, which feels lengthy and boring.”
