Overall, the gameplay is described as fun and engaging, with a variety of mechanics and customization options that enhance the experience. However, many players express concerns about issues such as pay-to-win elements, poor matchmaking, and technical problems like lag and unresponsive controls, which detract from the overall enjoyment. While the graphics and core mechanics are praised, there is a strong desire for more game modes and better optimization to improve the gameplay experience.
“After 30 hours of gameplay, I'd say that this game is amazing.”
“The core gameplay is fun and a variety of easily obtainable weapons allows you to choose from many different play styles.”
“Amazing gameplay, very easy to progress and very fun.”
“The gameplay is very simple, which makes the game feel more luck-based than competitive, since your character auto-attacks except when you use skills.”
“Extremely pay to win, absolutely no matchmaking filter (so you get put up against whales 24/7), game mechanics are barely fleshed out, UI design (while visually fine) is clunky and unresponsive, controls are way too unpredictable and clunky to properly play the game, the optimization is terrible (the 'low graphics' option actually does nothing), and to top it off, no control over who you interact with (no report, block, mute, etc).”
“Stupid bots ruin the gameplay.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their vibrant and appealing design, with many users noting that they enhance the overall gameplay experience. However, there are significant concerns regarding performance issues, including lag and poor optimization, which detract from the enjoyment, especially on lower-end devices.

“It has stunning graphics and you can play with friends?!”
“Great graphics, great gameplay.”
“I like the game but I hope the graphics will be more optimized in the near future so the gameplay would be smoother on all devices.”
“I even lowered the game's graphic quality, but when both teams are on the same map and are head-to-head with the last boss, it keeps on lagging.”
“The game would be a 5-star game, but even on low graphics mode it runs terribly.”
“I enjoy the game but don't know why, the game seems too laggy; even setting the graphics to low is useless.”

The monetization strategy of the game is mixed, with players appreciating the optional ads for rewards but expressing frustration over technical issues, such as ads not registering properly and frequent crashes. While some users feel the game leans towards a cash grab due to slow progression and limited rewards for free players, others commend the lack of forced ads and the ability to support developers through in-app purchases. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as less aggressive than in many other games, though it still has significant room for improvement.
“The monetization aspect is lower than most games.”
“Monetization looks like what you'd expect, so get ready for 'gems full!' style notifications.”
“Battle pass monetization.”
“Ads don't work and/or cause the app to crash, which results in no rewards.”
“Way too many ads to milk the players and literally not a single good chest/reward for free players.”
“Very obvious game is a cash grab; unlocking weapons is fast but progression is very slow, especially when it comes to using elemental items to upgrade.”

The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, glitches, and lag issues that significantly impact gameplay. Common problems include unresponsive controls, freezing during loading screens, and inconsistent ad rewards, leading to frustration among players. While some acknowledge ongoing improvements from developers, many express disappointment over the persistent instability and performance issues.
“The progress bar on the right side glitches up and down by 10% increments, giving you no idea if you're truly winning or not.”
“So far it's good given that it's still getting improved by the developers, but my team and I just encountered a bug where the boss of a level glitches out to the next map, so we can't kill it and obviously we lost.”
“The game is good, but the reason my rating is so low is because there are still many glitches, and the bots are way overleveled.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with players noting a lack of engaging narrative and repetitive gameplay. Many feel that the missions are frustratingly difficult due to poor matchmaking and unbalanced bot allies, leading to a sense of stagnation and a reliance on pay-to-win mechanics. Suggestions for improvement include the addition of PvE story quests and daily rewards to enhance player engagement and progression.
“Still need more improvements, maybe add some story quests that are PvE only for grinding items, cards, etc. and add more events. Make it like balanced RPG games while matchmaking.”
“I think it would be nice to be rewarded at least a little bit for doing daily quests or something.”
“Add quests and daily logins.”
“No story and repetitive action.”
“Still need more improvements, maybe add some story quests that are PvE only for grinding items, cards, etc. and add more events. It feels unbalanced, especially when you get nothing when you lose and can't progress without spending money on bundles, which makes this game pay-to-win.”
“You will be given quests that you won't be able to finish because 1) they're not giving you the target boss that you need to kill, and 2) you can't win any battle because of the incompetent bots on your team.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting significant lag, unresponsive controls, and poor performance across devices, particularly on Android. Many users express frustration over the lack of effective graphics settings and overall clunky mechanics, leading to a subpar gaming experience. While some see potential in the game, the current optimization issues detract heavily from enjoyment.
“I like the game, but I hope the graphics will be more optimized in the near future so the gameplay would be smoother on all devices.”
“Need some optimization (a little laggy), but a promising game.”
“Awesome game, needs some improvement and optimization.”
“Extremely pay to win, absolutely no matchmaking filter (so you get put up against whales 24/7), game mechanics are barely fleshed out, UI design (while visually fine) is clunky and unresponsive, controls are way too unpredictable and clunky to properly play the game, the optimization is terrible (the 'low graphics' option actually does nothing), and to top it off, no control over who you interact with (no report, block, mute, etc).”
“Until the game is not that optimized, I'll rate this 1 star only.”
“Nice game but the game performance wasn't that good; it's so laggy that Androids cannot handle it. I'm hoping this poor performance could be fixed after all; I like the game, it's just the performance of it that ruins it.”

The grinding aspect of the game is described as both fun and excessively time-consuming, appealing to players who enjoy this style of gameplay. However, many users express frustration with the lack of balance in PvP matchmaking and the reliance on pay-to-win mechanics, which can hinder progress for non-paying players. Suggestions for improvement include adding more PvE content and story quests to diversify grinding opportunities.
“Still need more improvements, maybe add some story quests that are PvE only for grinding items, cards, etc. and add more events. Make it like balanced RPG games while matchmaking. I know you guys are trying to combine PvE and PvP at the same time, but it totally failed for me, especially when you get nothing when you lose and you can't progress. Instead, you will get stuck because you don't have other ways to gain gold, cards, etc. The only way to progress when you're stuck is to buy their bundles, which means this game is pay-to-win.”
“Upgrading runes and weapons takes too much grinding and time to even try and catch up with those who do pay.”
“Incredibly grindy and does not have good PvP matching.”
