- “Game feels terribly clunky and its mechanics are beyond grindy.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users labeling it as a "cash grab" and expressing concerns about potential paywalls and aggressive monetization strategies. While some players appreciate the absence of ads and a non-pay-to-win structure, the overall sentiment suggests a lack of innovation and a focus on extracting money from players, leading to frustration and disappointment.

- “So far it's been good and not too aggressive with the monetization; time will tell how they develop and expand the game.”
- “No ads interruptions.”
- “Just another cash grab game, don't waste your time on it.”
- “Pretty low bar gacha, not very F2P friendly, nothing really new or interesting. I can foresee very hard paywalls based on needing to bring new heroes to break buffs or wipe mechanics. Selling things for $200? Yikes. Costs resources to remove gear. Basically, another whale tank soulless cash grab attracting people in with a known IP with no room for anything else.”
- “So sick of the excessive amount of ads for this game. It's Raid Shadow Legends all over again—nonstop advertising everywhere.”
grinding

Players consistently describe the grinding aspect of the game as tedious and overly time-consuming, often feeling stuck due to limited resources and energy. While some appreciate the graphics and free-to-play elements, many express frustration over the lack of auto-complete options for previously completed nodes and the overall clunky mechanics. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.
- “I've been farming gold stage 5 for two weeks and still don't have enough.”
- “The game started very good, intriguing, interesting, good story (sometimes the voice lines don't work), the progress is good to a certain point then you get stuck and can't progress anymore. It's a grinding game but you can't really grind; you get 300 energy which you can't even auto spend on nodes you've completed already with 3 stars. You need to watch the fights; no idea why the devs didn't add an auto-complete option for nodes you've already done. It's a waste of time to sit and watch the screen for 40 minutes.”
- “If you are not willing to pay, prepare to lose a lot of your time as you will spend most of the game grinding, hoping for better equipment to get past the 'wall' that obstructs your progress.”
