The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Recent updates have intensified this issue, forcing players to watch ads for basic actions and rewards, leading to a perception of the game as a "cash grab." While some players appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the frequency and intrusiveness of ads have made the experience increasingly unenjoyable for many.
“Other than watching ads to heal and get rewards, there are no intrusive ads.”
“The monetization model is fair and doesn't pressure players to spend money.”
“I appreciate that the game offers plenty of free content without forcing purchases.”
“After the latest update, however, you are now forced to watch ads when changing screens, collecting bonuses, and even after watching ads!!”
“The recent update has put a constant banner ad at the bottom screwing with the aspect ratio, and forced ads whenever you switch between menus... months of work, some real money purchases, and a really great game, ruined by greed.... disappointed is a ridiculous understatement.... uninstalling now.”
“It's not a bad game, but quite boring and it has too many ads that start without even asking you to watch them, which is super annoying.”

The gameplay is a mixed bag, with many users noting that it is heavily overshadowed by ads, often comprising 90% of the experience. While some find the strategy elements enjoyable and reminiscent of classic titles like Heroes of Might and Magic, others criticize the reliance on ads for essential mechanics and the overall imbalance in progression. Additionally, there are calls for improvements in graphics and soundtracks to enhance the overall experience.
“Enjoyable strategy gameplay.”
“The gameplay is simple but solid, and fun for fans of the HOMM series.”
“Love this game, gameplay is nice and smooth.”
“I don't really mind that the game is 90% ads, 10% gameplay - well, I suppose I could use a few dozen % more gameplay, but anyway - but not even the ads load every time. It just tells you to come back after a minute and hours later, still the same message... you're doing it wrong, guys. The game has potential, but it's too annoying to do even daily quests or the 3-hour boosts that require ads to be completed, so... nope.”
“Gameplay basically depends on the ads to revive your army.”
“Same gameplay, mechanics, dungeons, units, resources, enemies, spells, graphics, and even levels 5-11 are copied 1:1.”

The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking depth and engagement, with players expressing frustration over the high costs and paywalls that hinder progress. While there is potential for a more compelling narrative, the current quest system and reliance on ads detract from the overall experience, leaving users eager for improvements in both storytelling and gameplay mechanics.
“Let's see how it unwraps further down the story line.”
“Game has potential but lacks a story and you hit a paywall on day 2 or 3 where you'll then have to grind for hours and days to inch forward.”
“I don't really mind that the game is 90% ads, 10% gameplay - well, I suppose I could use a few dozen % more gameplay, but anyway - but not even the ads load every time, it just tells you to come back after a minute and hours later, still the same message... you're doing it wrong guys... game has potential, but it's too annoying to do even daily quests or the 3-hour boosts that require ads to be completed, so... nope.”
“This game is pretty much Might & Magic Hero Quest for mobile, but to get past obstacles or advance you have to pay for it or wait forever to pay that toll.”
