Gameplay is marked by repetitive elements and class imbalance, which may deter players who prefer variety. While there is hope for future content, the current experience may not satisfy everyone.
“The classes are still relatively unbalanced, and I hope that more content will come. However, if you don't like the repetitive gameplay mentioned above, you should keep your hands off the game.”

The monetization model has received criticism for its reliance on purchasing "buff credits" at a rate of $1 each, which only provide temporary in-game benefits lasting one hour, despite the game already costing $20. This approach has deterred some players from making additional purchases.
“I haven't bought it yet because I hate this kind of monetization (especially since the game itself costs $20). You buy 'buff credits' (in-game currency) for $1 per credit, and each buff costs 1 credit and only lasts 1 hour.”
“The monetization model is frustrating; paying $20 for the game and then being pushed to buy in-game currency feels exploitative.”
“It's disappointing to see a game with such a high upfront cost also rely on aggressive monetization tactics like selling temporary buffs.”
