The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with many players reporting forced ads before and after gameplay, as well as during critical moments like revives.

“A very good game, not greedy, no ads if you don't want to watch them.”
“Super fun and no ads unless you want some power-ups.”
“No ads disable purchase.”

“I really like the Van Helsing-esque aesthetic, a theme unlike many rogue-likes.”
“Great game, great builds, excellent graphics for a phone app game, one of the best.”

The gameplay has been described as smooth and visually appealing, with many comparisons to the mechanics of "Archero," often highlighting a lack of innovation within the genre. While some players appreciate the dark theme and challenging elements, others criticize the slow pace, repetitive mechanics, and frequent ads, which detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game offers a decent time-killer experience but may not satisfy those seeking originality or depth.
“I love the dark theme with gameplay as smooth as (or maybe better) than Archero, and the design of every detail will make the player keep playing for hours if not for the limited energy, which is very common in every game of the same genre.”
“The aesthetic and the sounds are unique and so satisfying, and the gameplay is challenging but rewarding.”
“Great gameplay, sweet pace, nice action.”
“Apparently, reskinning the game without changing the mechanics is called 'genre' today.”
“The enemies attack and move way too fast for the limited amount of health you have, the maps are way too matching in colors to where there's blocked off points but yet I can barely see them because of the way the maps are colored, and I died in one of the boss battles after beating the boss because the shots did not disappear and hit me while I was on my last bit of health.”
“It's a literal copy-paste mechanically of Archero, did nothing innovative with the genre; as you play the first mission, you can literally point by point watch as every mechanic from the older game is mimicked.”

The game's story is widely criticized for being virtually non-existent, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative and character backstories. Reviewers note that the lack of content, such as quests and a meaningful plot, detracts from the overall experience, making it feel repetitive and uninspired. While some enjoy the gameplay mechanics, they feel that the absence of a compelling story limits the game's potential.
“I love this game. Even though this game is similar to Archero, the difficulty, story, items, and enemies are more enjoyable than Archero. Keep moving forward!”
“And maybe every stage has a story about the boss so the game won't feel like we are playing on an endless loop.”
“What story? The story doesn't exist.”
“But there is a lack of content: no daily login rewards, no quests, no storyline, and nothing.”
“The only thing that I would like to see is a backstory of the game and its heroes.”

“The next bug is after completing a run, the main menu freezes.”

“Would like to hear some music during the stages; just muted a little so it doesn't distract from the action.”
