Overall, players appreciate the game's monetization approach, noting the absence of intrusive ads and a lack of aggressive pay-to-win mechanics. Many reviewers express satisfaction with the affordable in-game purchases and the game's enjoyable content, contrasting it with typical mobile games that often rely heavily on ads and microtransactions. While some mention a few ads, the consensus is that the game prioritizes player experience over monetization.
“Fun game, no ads popping out.”
“Other are so nice and no ads so far.”
“But it's still fun, no ads problem (can use for the tiniest option), packs are very cheap.”
“The game was good and all but -2 stars for the 12 ads daily because it would make it really hard to grind daily as it's very time-consuming and you'll be kind of left out when you don't do it.”
“Don't understand when watching ads became a part of gameplay.”
“Bad game with microtransactions.”

While the game offers decent combat mechanics and unique shopping features, it has been compared unfavorably to other gacha games, leading to mixed feelings about its originality and long-term engagement.

“Very addicting, no intrusive ads and the combat mechanics are decent.”
“Awesome gameplay and fun to play too, the characters are based on anime and games.”
“However, the game mechanics do get grindy after a while.”
“Don't understand when watching ads become a part of gameplay.”
“The game is okay but the only thing that keeps me hating this game is when I click tabs, it keeps loading and loading and loading.. half of my gameplay is waiting for it to load.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their unique and appealing art style, with many users expressing enjoyment of the character designs and overall visual presentation. However, some players feel that while the graphics are impressive, the gameplay lacks originality compared to other titles in the genre.

“Love the graphics and the characters but it is the slowest progressing game ever.”
“Fun game, killer graphics, awesome story.”
“Very sad to uninstall the app. I love the artwork, but it is quite unplayable for me. I log into the game and can't do anything since I can't proceed with winning due to lack of experience, and the idle chest doesn't give much experience.”
“Love the graphics and the characters, but it is the slowest progressing game ever.”
“Plenty of better graphic games with half-naked girls, but this is the same concept with no loading times.”

The game's story is generally well-received, featuring a humorous and engaging narrative with beloved characters presented in a unique duck-themed twist. However, some players noted issues such as grammar errors and a lack of progression in the later stages, which can lead to boredom. Overall, while the storyline is entertaining and visually appealing, it may require improvements in pacing and clarity.
“And the storyline is great.”
“Lol, I love this, famous characters in duck version, good story, can't wait to see more duck.”
“Fun game, killer graphics, awesome story.”
“My characters are about 10 levels over the enemies and I cannot seem to progress any further in the story and the tower mode.”
“Some silly grammar errors appear throughout the whole story, but clearly it wasn't started in English.”
“Been playing the game for a month and for the first 1-2 weeks of the game it is good and addicting, but beyond that it gets boring, especially with the 12-hour idle resource system. It's basically useless, and you only get resources like gold and feathers on quests. Honestly, it's pay-to-win, but please bump that number up because it's impossible to level up any heroes.”

The game is criticized for its excessive grinding, with players feeling that progress becomes painfully slow and often requires waiting for rewards, leading to a pay-to-win environment. While it may offer initial enjoyment, the grind quickly turns tedious, leaving players feeling stuck and frustrated with unbalanced mechanics.
“Just another grindy game, probably heavily pay-to-win since you get stuck and have to wait weeks to progress again.”
“It was fun for maybe the first few days' worth of content, but soon becomes either extremely grindy or you don't have anything you can do as you are stuck at all levels and need to wait for your AFK rewards for days.”
“Everything is overpowered; how do you even beat this? The arena is unbalanced, almost impossible to do anything else than AFK and level up, and even after a week of grinding, you only make one stage of progress.”
