The gameplay of this game is generally seen as fun and engaging, with a mix of quirky mechanics and appealing visuals. However, many players express concerns about its depth and balance, noting that it can feel repetitive and overly simplistic, particularly in competitive scenarios. While some appreciate the strategic elements and potential for skill-based play, others criticize the monetization aspects and the lack of meaningful unlocks, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “The core gameplay has real potential and is initially fun.”
- “The gameplay is simple and easy to learn, yet exciting with tons of possible drafts and combos.”
- “Minimax offers a slightly different style of gameplay than your traditional MOBA and relies more on knowledge, skill, and timing than RNG, though there is a very small bit of luck involved with which spells (called miracles) you draw to be able to cast later.”
- “However, you just get the feeling the gameplay is just a shell sucked dry by the attempt to monetize everything.”
- “But if you are looking for a deep strategic experience, I don't think this game would be for you since it cannot have depth; its main strategic element is on the pathing of units, and there is just one single lane with very few elements to make things varied, resulting in gameplay that turns quite repetitive, samey, and boring, with little to no innovation on most aspects of it.”
- “Now this game is presented with even more boring gameplay.”

The game's stability is inconsistent, with some users experiencing freezes, particularly on less powerful computers, and occasional glitches.

The game's optimization is criticized for being poor, leading to significant lag even on low graphics settings, with minimal visual differences between high and low settings. Additionally, the balance of content favors players who pay for performance enhancements, creating a pay-to-win environment that detracts from the overall experience.
- “The optimization mechanics in the game are incredibly well-designed, allowing players to fine-tune their strategies for maximum efficiency.”
- “I love how the game encourages players to explore different optimization paths, making each playthrough feel unique and rewarding.”
- “The balance between resource management and optimization keeps the gameplay engaging and challenging, ensuring that every decision counts.”
- “Novices are pitted against experienced players who have no life other than optimizations, making it mainly a grief-dependent game due to poor content balance.”
- “There is nothing wrong with paying for performance content, but when you cannot achieve that same content through regular gameplay, then it becomes pay-to-win.”
- “Great graphics and potential, kind of weird and confusing at first, but I can see it's working. However, it's badly optimized; even on very low graphics, it's lagging a lot. To be honest, I can't see a difference from very high to very low settings, probably because the zoom is too good but consumes a lot of graphics card resources, and that huge zoom isn't even needed.”
