- “Very disappointing how what used to be a neat and streamlined mobile game has now, in just one update, bloated into a totally unrecognizable mess... completely unnecessary and redundant obstruction layers abound with a million items that do the same thing, new creatures added, which have identical gameplay mechanics with the existing ones, and the old ones were nerfed beyond recognition.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to make in-game purchases without feeling pressured to do so.

- “Of course, there is the option to make in-game purchases to speed up progress, but I have not hit a paywall or anything like that yet.”

- “It feels very cash grab/gamble.”
- “The actual gameplay is a blast, but once you get to a certain point you are unable to progress unless you pump hundreds of dollars into microtransactions.”
- “Everything good about this game was pulled directly from the original... everything bad is this developer's blatant cash grab.”

The reviews highlight that the game involves significant grinding, particularly at lower levels, which many players find tedious and frustrating. While some appreciate the challenge and rewards from grinding, others criticize the slow progression, unbalanced difficulty, and the need for excessive farming to unlock and upgrade characters. Overall, the grinding aspect is a double-edged sword, offering both a sense of achievement for some and a source of annoyance for others, especially for free-to-play users.
- “The combinations take a bit of playthrough to figure out, but it's not tedious.”
- “Very grindy, there are lots of cool characters to unlock but it takes way too long to unlock them and when you do they are so underpowered that it is best to just stick to your initial team.”
- “Game progression is really slow.. grinding for material to upgrade is way too redundant.”
- “It's a great concept, but it's heavily pay-to-win and even pay-to-play unless you don't mind grinding for weeks to progress.”
stability

The stability of the game has been a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, crashes, and freezing during gameplay, particularly during boss fights and updates. Many players have experienced lost progress and resources due to these issues, leading to frustration and disappointment. While some users note improvements after updates, the overall sentiment indicates that stability remains a critical area needing attention from the developers.
- “I love this game, but I've got two major issues: occasionally (mainly during boss fights) everything pixelates and glitches, eventually crashing.”
- “What really sucks is the game glitches quite a bit, 2-3 times an hour in my experience, which causes me to lose matches and ranks, especially when I am about to deal the final blow to win.”
- “Game glitches during several modes at the moment, causing it to minimize and restart after beginning battles. There's no contact support option in-game, just an unhelpful help center. I've been playing almost two years now and am feeling very disappointed; I hope issues get fixed soon and they add a support ticket option in-game.”
