The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its engaging mechanics, character variety, and graphics. However, recent updates have led to significant issues, including slower gameplay speeds, bugs, and a shift towards more predatory monetization practices, which have frustrated long-time players.

“The last update (first real one after 6 months of no new content or even reruns of past events) broke the large majority of characters and basic game mechanics.”
“Had been a great game, but the most recent updates have gutted it and have put into place especially predatory monetization/gacha mechanics.”
“Gameplay is now slow, used to be 1.5x faster with that option available but now '1.5x' faster is just regular speed before the update and the actual speed now feels like 0.5x.”

“Good so far, been playing for a day and not stopped playing with no grinding, which is a surprise. Normally it's not so... edit, which I never do, even when the game is bad. This, however, is a game I have not stopped playing with no slowdown for days. Thanks, developers, which is a first for me. Nice one, cheers!”
“Tons to do and not too grindy.”
“Did a massive update that if you were a player who has played for years, all your hard work and farming is now useless.”
“However, quite grindy mid to end game and the frequency and diversity of events are lacking somewhat, so the game gets very repetitive after a while.”
