  • Initial gameplay is engaging and similar to the game shown in the ads, featuring shooting and strategic elements.
  • The game offers various game modes and an active alliance system that promotes teamwork and community interaction.
  • No forced advertisements within the game provide a smoother experience with frequent updates improving content.
  • The majority of gameplay is misleadingly different from the ads, focusing heavily on slow base building, resource management, and pay-to-win mechanics.
  • Progression becomes extremely slow without spending large sums of money, with excessive upgrade wait times and paywalls forcing microtransactions.
  • The game environment is often toxic, with bullying by stronger, paying players and poor customer support exacerbating frustration.
  • monetization
    3,275 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization is heavily criticized for aggressive, predatory in-app purchases and a pay-to-win model that pressures players into spending large sums to progress. While the game is free of forced advertisements, the frequent and costly microtransactions alongside slow, grind-heavy gameplay make advancement difficult without spending money. Additionally, many users report that the core gameplay shown in ads represents only a small fraction of the game, with the majority being a resource-management base building experience, leading to widespread complaints about misleading and deceptive advertising.

    • “The optional in-app purchases are truly optional; you can accomplish all the same things just by playing.”
    • “No ads at all and the game is amazing!”
    • “No ads, ever, and easy to make progress without paying for anything.”
    • “In-app purchases are misleading, and support is terrible.”
    • “It's a cash grab with lackluster mechanics.”
    • “The game is riddled with in-app purchases at every turn and second.”
  • gameplay
    1,163 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay blends a fun, action-packed shooting mini-game with a heavy emphasis on base-building and resource management, but the advertised shooter segments constitute only a small fraction of actual playtime. Many users find progression slow and repetitive, with frequent paywalls, time-gated upgrades, and a dominant pay-to-win system that detracts from enjoyment and fairness. Although initial gameplay can be engaging, the heavy grind and misleading advertising about gameplay content are common sources of frustration.

    • “Gameplay is engaging, not brain-dead, and it respects your time.”
    • “The mechanics, progression, and overall experience match the ads — rare win.”
    • “Good graphics, fun gameplay and decent mechanics.”
    • “After around two days of casual play I have no gameplay left because it's locked behind building tasks that are just "wait 4 hours." An absolutely ridiculous waste of a good concept.”
    • “The advertised gameplay exists for a short time, then those maps run out.”
    • “The gameplay shown in ads is a tiny fraction of what the game actually entails and are intentionally misleading.”
  • story
    353 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is widely criticized for being overly complex, poorly written, and heavily intertwined with tedious base-building and repetitive side quests that detract from the core gameplay. Many reviewers find the narrative forced, unengaging, and akin to filler content, with progression often locked behind paywalls or time-consuming upgrades. While some appreciate the initial storyline and characters, most feel the story stalls early and lacks meaningful development, making it a frustrating distraction rather than an enhancement to the gaming experience.

    • “From the very first encounter, it captivates players with its immersive graphics, dynamic gameplay mechanics, and a storyline that seamlessly intertwines strategy, action, and survival.”
    • “The graphics are stunning, and the storyline keeps you hooked.”
    • “Due to the character designs and post-apocalyptic setting, I actually found myself playing longer for the story; but like with all free-to-play games, the story stalls pretty early on and you're left doing a repetitive series of endless quests with very little to no narrative development.”
    • “The story is just silly, as you play as an unnamed 'rebellion' fighting the 'doom legion'. I would not be surprised if the story was also written by AI.”
    • “There is way too much story, and the screen is cluttered with distractions.”
  • graphics
    230 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    User feedback on graphics is mixed: many praise the game’s visuals as good, polished, and enjoyable for mobile devices, highlighting crisp, colorful, and charming art styles. However, numerous users criticize inconsistent or poor art quality, misleading advertising with graphics not matching in-game visuals, glitches, and performance issues, especially on lower-end devices. Overall, while the graphics are generally seen as decent or good, discrepancies between advertising and actual gameplay graphics and technical problems dampen the experience for some players.

    • “The team work is indescribable, the graphics are amazing, the whole game is astonishing!”
    • “From the very first encounter, it captivates players with its immersive graphics, dynamic gameplay mechanics, and a storyline that seamlessly intertwines strategy, action, and survival.”
    • “The graphics are stunning, and the storyline keeps you hooked.”
    • “From AI art to horrible graphics, to a lack of a settings button, this game is extremely repetitive and has no real incentive to play.”
    • “The graphics are much worse than what's shown and the game later turns into a weird guild/alliance manager; the core gameplay from the trailer is gone.”
    • “The graphics suck and there's barely any rendering on anyone.”
  • grinding
    211 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is overwhelmingly described as tedious, excessive, and a major barrier to progression, with many players feeling forced into repetitive resource farming, base building, and long wait times. The enjoyable gameplay shown in ads constitutes only a small portion, quickly giving way to grind-heavy mechanics that pressure players to spend money to avoid stagnation or pay-to-win scenarios. Overall, grinding dominates the experience, often leading to frustration, boredom, and premature quitting.

    • “This is because you have to grind extensively to upgrade your character just to be able to engage in combat—a process that quickly becomes tedious.”
    • “The game just becomes grinding out upgrades to your base so a week or a month later you can beat what you are stuck on, just to repeat that over and over.”
    • “After a while, it feels less like surviving and more like grinding.”
  • stability
    110 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is plagued by frequent and severe glitches, crashes, and bugs that disrupt gameplay, cause resource losses, and frustrate players. Customer support is largely unhelpful or unresponsive, and compensation for these issues is often inadequate. Despite some improvements, the stability remains a major concern, severely impacting the overall experience.

    • “It's actually working, no glitches.”
    • “I love these types of games; there are still parts that are developing, yet it isn't buggy in the slightest.”
    • “It's better to join a group or alliance when you can; their Discord is full of tips and tricks.”
    • “The game constantly glitches and steals from you. I have literal screenshots of them saying I used items at 10:58 pm my time when I was currently speaking to them at 10:34 pm.”
    • “The app keeps shutting down and kicking me offline, and since this is a time-based game, these glitches will cost you opportunities and resources that you have to spend even more time to get back.”
    • “There are a lot of glitches, lots of bugs, but no customer support, no response for long times and no solutions.”
  • music
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback: while some find it pleasant and fitting the game's ambiance, the majority criticize it as repetitive, annoying, and overly loud. A common frustration is the lack of any settings or options to mute or adjust music and sound effects, making it difficult for players who prefer to listen to their own audio simultaneously. Overall, the forced, unskippable music negatively impacts the gameplay experience for many users.

    • “The music is pleasant and not jarring.”
    • “The musics are good, the interface is easy to catch on, the ambiance perfectly fits with the characters.”
    • “The music makes this game play even better with its epic laid-back tune.”
    • “Game has very poor user interface, you cannot turn the music or sounds off, there's no menu, nothing, it just jumps you right into play as soon as you open it.”
    • “The music is depressingly bland, missing or terrible sound effects everywhere.”
    • “Un-installed within the first five minutes because it didn't give me an option to turn down or disable the very annoying music.”
  • humor
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often described as unintended and ironic, largely stemming from misleading ads and the disconnect between advertised content and actual gameplay. Players find amusement in the game's over-the-top or repetitive mechanics, alliance soap operas, and the absurdity of its marketing tactics, though this humor is sometimes overshadowed by frustration. Still, some users appreciate genuine comedic elements like certain characters and alliance interactions, making the experience funny in both deliberate and accidental ways.

    • “When you reach some level there is no gameplay at all; it's just click and collect pointless resources with some alliances grouping players which are nothing more than a soap opera of people thinking it's real life and politics, which is really funny.”
    • “The quote at the top is from a character in the game and I assume a mistranslation, but it is hilarious to hear the character randomly declare it.”
    • “My alliance group DTBB are the best that I've teamed up with and the group chats have a crazy sense of humor that makes me laugh every time I'm on.”
  • optimization
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from numerous optimization issues, including frequent lag, poor performance on various devices—especially Android—and resource-heavy graphics causing stutters and frame drops. Players report server lag, misleading ads, and pay-to-win mechanics exacerbating performance problems, detracting from overall enjoyment despite occasional smooth gameplay in certain areas. Continuous updates attempt to address these issues, but optimization remains a major pain point impacting user experience.

    • “The game looks good and runs smoothly.”
    • “Runs smoothly, no snags.”
    • “But they have very well optimized the game speed while developing your city.”
    • “The game is very poorly optimized; mind you that I have played this game continuously for 2 months!”
    • “Not optimized at all; game runs super poorly on my Pixel 8 Pro and drops frames every 20 seconds.”
    • “This game is poorly optimized for Android phones; when you get to frontline level 36, the game lags and does not allow you to complete it.”
  • emotional
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express significant frustration and emotional disappointment with the game, feeling that minimal interaction is required to win, making efforts feel pointless and hollow. The heavy time-gating, paywalls, and repetitive gameplay contribute to a sense of heartbreak and detachment, undermining any enjoyment or emotional engagement.

    • “After putting in so much time into this game, this is heart wrenching.”
    • “This leads to very emotional heartbreak when you give 1-2 minutes for the dig and other players just tap the dig and collect the reward in 0.01s.”
    • “The social environment can be an odd combination of wholesome and hostile simultaneously.”
    • “Also was too much boring story reading injected into this game.”
  • replayability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Replayability in this game is largely limited, with most users citing that key advertised features and special operations are either locked behind long wait times or not replayable at all. While initial gameplay may be enjoyable for a few hours, progression often becomes slow or pay-to-win, reducing the incentive to continue playing. Overall, the replay value is minimal once primary challenges or levels are completed.

    • “The mini games are re-playable now also!”
    • “I would give the game an extra star if the old stages were at least replayable, even without rewards.”
    • “This is a pretty good game; the ad was very truthful. You're basically building a base, raising an army of soldiers to your liking. I've found this game to be much more playable than a lot of similar games on the play store. At level 5, there is no big pressure to run off with a clan and do clan stuff; you can just play the game and level up. It's nice to have that option.”
    • “The advertised part of the game is locked behind HQ level, and will eventually take literal days to unlock the next set of levels, which have zero replayability as far as I've seen.”
    • “The ads are clearly deceptive, they represent 1% of the game and that 1% is not replayable.”
    • “Edit: since they answer with bull: what they feature in 'special operations' is only a badly implemented watered down limited non replayable version of what you see in the ad.”
  • character development
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is generally considered weak, with an initial engaging story that quickly stalls into repetitive, low-narrative gameplay typical of free-to-play titles. While character designs and voice acting receive some praise, overall development and depth are lacking, and other elements like music and animations are viewed as mediocre or tacky.

    • “Due to the character designs and post-apocalyptic setting, I actually found myself playing longer for the story.”
    • “Character design is great.”
    • “I hope it gets more difficult later in the game but the voice acting is solid, the animations are good, good character designs.”
    • “Due to the character designs and post-apocalyptic setting, I actually found myself playing longer for the story; but like with all free-to-play games, the story stalls pretty early on and you're left doing a repetitive series of endless quests with very little to no narrative development.”
    • “Game lags tremendously, is loot-driven and there is no true strategy or character development.”
    • “Lastly, the character design, voice overs, music, and sound effects are all tacky.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is widely criticized for being heavily pay-to-win, with intrusive monetization tactics and restrictive gameplay mechanics that hinder progression without spending money. This creates a frustrating and unbalanced environment, further worsened by a negative chat experience.

    • “The more I play, the more I hate the atmosphere.”
    • “Typical free-to-play, pay-to-win game with many anti-consumer and dark patterns: positioning real money purchase options before in-game options; limiting progression via arbitrary wait times, stamina, and similar mechanics; plethora of purchase options to bypass these limits; purchases that give heavy advantages, creating an atmosphere where the only way to be competitive is to spend as much or more than those you compete against.”
    • “The chat atmosphere is awful.”
