The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its engaging mechanics, smooth controls, and visually appealing graphics. While some find the gameplay enjoyable and easy to understand, others criticize it for being repetitive, lacking depth, and heavily leaning towards a pay-to-win model.

- “This game is more on pay to win type of gameplay. Especially when the new upgrade wheel... only pay-to-win players can afford to max upgrade their main lineups easily. For free-to-play players, it will take years to max all of their lineups, so more players are quitting. This game is not fun to play anymore.”
- “The gameplay is slow and I topped up to VIP2, and there is not much difference for the 2x speed.”

- “Gacha game with no farming.”
- “Returning, I learned there were skins and after grinding to the first requirement 'finish chapter 18-25', I find out that you have a choice: either reach the hero to 7 stars (a completely unreasonable goal if you know what it takes) or pay $40+ for a single skin.”
- “The game gets a little too grindy when playing long enough; however, the difficulty level is quite balanced for a mobile game.”

- “Would give it more stars, but the game keeps freezing up when I open it and just stays frozen. I can hear the game music, but nothing happens; it's just stuck. Even when I close the app, the music doesn't stop.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing significant lag and slow loading times, even on strong internet connections. While some appreciate the high frame rate options and smooth gameplay at times, there are frequent calls for better performance, particularly for low-end devices and the addition of lower resolution settings. Many users express frustration over the game's tendency to stutter and lag during key interactions, indicating that optimization remains a critical area for improvement.
- “Optimization is my most favorite part of every update of this idle MLBB game... because I really hate the click then hang on loading screen. I want to click and make it happen now, or else I might think this isn't even an idle adventure but an adventure that makes every player impatient because of the hanging loading screen problem!”
- “The features are being constantly improved and performance updates are common as well.”
- “Graphics, performance, mechanics all work so much better than MLBB on my low-end device and yet the game has such an insane depth to it!”
- “The game is badly optimized and runs really slow; there are deliberate walls made to suck your wallet dry bit by bit.”
- “Not a really optimized game. It's sad that I think they rushed this game for global release without properly optimizing it. I can't recommend this to anyone because of the sudden frame drops in-game and constant loading. I have a max pro M1 and 15 Mbps Wi-Fi, so I don't think I'm the issue. Fix this, and my rating will change.”
- “Your game is badly optimized. My device can run games with better graphics at decent frame rates, but I can't even run this game at 10 FPS. For example, my device can run your MLBB game above 45 FPS but can't even run this game at 10 FPS.”
