The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its fun mechanics and unique blend of MOBA and tower defense elements. However, concerns about monetization affecting game balance, repetitive mechanics, and a lack of depth in strategy have been noted, leading to a perception of the gameplay being simplistic or unbalanced. Overall, while the game offers engaging visuals and potential for enjoyment, it may not satisfy those seeking a more complex or varied gameplay 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.”
- “This game is so much fun; the gameplay is amazing and is just going to get better as time goes on.”
- “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. Consequently, the gameplay 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.”

- “Advantages: unique graphics and world.”

- “It freezes at the first screen, but that's probably because I don't have a powerful computer.”
- “It's a fun game; it's a mobile game and it has some glitches, but the gameplay's great and queue times are not that long.”

The game's optimization is criticized for being poor, leading to significant lag even on low graphics settings, with minimal visual difference between high and low settings. Additionally, the balance of content favors players who pay for performance, creating a pay-to-win environment that detracts from the overall experience.

- “I appreciate how the game encourages players to explore different optimization strategies, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.”
- “The balance between performance and strategy in optimization is well-crafted, providing a rewarding challenge for players.”
- “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, kinda 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.”
