The gameplay of the game is characterized by its charming art style and simple mechanics, making it accessible and enjoyable for casual players. However, many users find it becomes repetitive and monotonous over time, with some expressing frustration over unclear mechanics and poor AI. While the game has potential and features interesting concepts, it suffers from issues such as crashing and a lack of depth in gameplay, leading to mixed reviews overall.
- “The gameplay, sound, and art is great; there is, however, a slight crashing problem that I hope gets fixed in a few weeks, but aside from that, it's a great game.”
- “The visual style and setting are really interesting, and the gameplay is easy to get the hang of, building up the difficulty gradually, so there is always a challenge.”
- “Super fun and really great gameplay.”
- “Decent looking introductory sequence and right into the most underwhelming gameplay I've ever seen in whatever genre this is supposed to be.”
- “The gameplay is so bland that you don't even notice whether you will win or lose. Its development was rushed; you can tell by playing it. Bugs everywhere, hero, troops, level, stage, GUI, and it even crashes sometimes. The game is not balanced; the level of the enemy is based on your character level, not by how many times you march, and when your character is higher level than your troops, that can lead to a problem of level gap between your character and your troops that can make your life difficult.”
- “Graphics are well done, but gameplay is extremely boring and slow.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that while ads are not forced and can be avoided, they are often necessary for significant progression and obtaining boosts. Some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, but express frustration over the short duration of these benefits and the high cost of in-game purchases.

- “Best thing is: no ads if you don't want them.”
- “Decent time waster with so far no ads unless you choose to get a bonus in currency or damage, etc.”
- “Good game waster and no ads unless you want them.”
- “Yet it does seem to require in-game purchases to progress at a later stage in the game and seems to require hours of grinding to receive the required gear, whereas the purchase of the other gear does seem a tad in bad taste.”
- “Until you realize that there is no way in hell to advance if you don't either pay or watch ads to get more gems.”
- “The x2 buffs and auto not lasting very long and being locked behind watching ads really puts a damper on the gameplay; otherwise, it's a nice game with a very cool art style similar to Darkest Dungeon.”
