Overall, the graphics of the game receive a mixed response from players. Many praise the visuals as "fantastic," "awesome," and "realistic," highlighting the smooth gameplay and detailed effects, particularly during intense moments.

- “Fantastic graphics.”
- “Great job with graphics, control, mech options.....everything!!!”
- “This is an amazing game graphics are very good i like to play this game”
- “The aesthetics just didn't do it for me.”
- “Clunky, interface from the 1990's, graphics from the 80's, sounds are annoying and cause teeth gnashing.”
- “Next to no customization, graphics are outdated and ugly, next to no selection and what is available is too expensive or level locked, and the design of the robot feels like they were done as an afterthought, not a main idea, which they are since they are essentially the main characters in the game. Just could be way better if the devs actually tried to look like they cared.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its fun, engaging mechanics and smooth, fast-paced action, making it addictive and enjoyable. While many users appreciate the graphics and fluid controls, some express concerns about balance issues, a lengthy tutorial, and the presence of pay-to-win elements. Suggestions for improvement include enhancing the upgrade system, adding more strategic elements, and refining the crafting mechanics.
- “Fun, engaging, and beautiful, the mechanics are awesome, and the game is definitely addictive.”
- “Smooth gameplay and fast-paced fighting make for quick and satisfying matches.”
- “Great graphics and gameplay.”
- “That means several years (literally) of watching ads and gameplay to make up for real money.”
- “A lot better than War Robots in gameplay and grind factor, but the component/blueprint crafting system is unbalanced. It takes 500k for a 3-day wait time to get 150 blueprints, and it should be repeatable to get weapons. In short, make it like War Robots' workshop system. Also, there is a random glitch with the servers where it switches country servers. Please fix the bug.”
- “The only drawback I see is the controller mechanics are a little wonky.”

The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, which players can choose to watch to speed up progress and upgrade their equipment.

- “Uninstalled again, forgot you have to wait hours to upgrade or pay double to get it now or watch 20 ads to get it.”
