The gameplay is generally described as fun and addictive, with some unique mechanics reminiscent of games like Clash Royale.

While the core mechanics and graphics are appreciated, the repetitive nature and reliance on random rewards can lead to a grindy experience.

- “Constantly asks for personal data, graphics are terrible, gameplay is terrible, controls are very rough, and you can never complete a level.”
- “Matchmaking is terrible, the rock-paper-scissors gameplay isn't explained whatsoever, pay to win, and in-game currency is hard to come across.”

- “It has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, everything is squandered by the amount of microtransactions in the game after every arena.”
- “This game looks amazing and when it works it plays amazing, but the cash grabbing gets so bad that in the first week I'm already fighting people at level 9 when I'm barely at level 5.”
