The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous reports of bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly for mobile users. Common problems include freezing, disappearing troops, chat malfunctions, and lag, which have led to a frustrating experience for many players. Despite the game's potential, the persistent technical issues and lack of timely fixes from developers have resulted in a negative impact on overall enjoyment.
“Game breaking bugs include: 100m troops disappearing in-transit (no combat occurred), lots of lag at random times, buttons not responding, game frequently freezes on startup, towns disappear when scrolling, and battle reports don't show up in the log (very frequently).”
“Too many bugs reoccur each season, which gets increasingly frustrating (e.g. explorer loot disappears/team chat malfunctions/game freezes and reloads etc...), team chat useless, no support functions to help teammates attack or defend... developers focus too much on new gimmicks, and don't/can't fix the many bugs.”
“Game is good but it's still too buggy and somehow unplayable.”

“I reached out to the report center several times about event missions I had clearly completed, and the rewards would have changed my gameplay for the better several times over, but the system seems to ignore complaints and suggestions, which makes this game an actual waste of time unless you pay hundreds to win.”

The monetization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players labeling it as "pay to win" and criticizing the high prices of in-game purchases.

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players report smooth performance with no lag, others experience significant performance issues, particularly during longer sessions, leading to frequent reloads and a need for better optimization and battery management.

“But at certain times, there seems to be a performance bug when you are playing the long game.”
“The reason for the 4 stars is because there desperately needs to be optimization.”
“Not a single feature implementation, and performance is still garbage.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for lacking depth and engagement, with players noting that missions primarily focus on increasing numbers rather than offering a compelling narrative. Many users express a desire for single-player campaigns or story missions to enhance gameplay, as the current system feels repetitive and heavily favors pay-to-win mechanics, leading to frustration and a sense of stagnation. Overall, the absence of a meaningful storyline detracts from the overall experience.
“Some singleplayer story or campaign missions away from the multiplayer world would go a long way in making the game playable.”
“Sure, there are missions in the game, but those just involve getting bigger numbers.”
“Some single-player story or campaign missions away from the multiplayer world would go a long way in making the game playable.”
“No real storyline.”

The humor in the game is often derived from absurd situations, such as being overwhelmed by an opponent with an absurdly large army while offline.

Overall, the humor is mixed with frustration over bugs and gameplay changes, creating a somewhat comedic yet critical atmosphere.
“The game was fun until a dunce with an enormous army decided that it would be funny to invade me with 10 million troops while I was offline and I could not fight back because my army did not even reach a million.”
“It is really funny but must be in a new game because it's still kind of glitchy.”
“Funny”
