The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its unique mechanics, strategic depth, and engaging card interactions, while others criticize it for being simplified compared to its predecessor and having limited gameplay modes. Many appreciate the tutorial and balanced starter decks that help new players, but some express frustration over connection issues and the need for more diverse gameplay options. Overall, while the core mechanics are seen as fun and addictive, there are calls for improvements in balance and additional content to enhance the experience.
- “A fun and addicting strategy card game that challenges you to improve your deck and gameplay to earn rewards and move up levels and placement tiers.”
- “Very addictive game, easy and intuitive gameplay, but with a lot of strategy involved.”
- “The large range of card types, different factions, and the unique nature of the gameplay ensures a varied and interesting experience with no two player-made decks being the same.”
- “Doubt the developers care anymore, sad, I loved this game for its unique gameplay and mechanics and it's been ruined. I read up on the game devs and apparently this kind of poor behavior is common.”
- “It takes the universe that the original March of War crafted, and then dumbs down the gameplay to Rise of Mythos (or any other card-based game similar to it) levels.”
- “Gameplay wise, there are still boring 'exploits' where players just don't play their turns and let the timer go in hope you surrender, but with an easy in-game report system, these guys don't stand long without bans and the devs are working on this matter to find the best way to end this.”

Overall, while the graphics may not be groundbreaking, they are generally considered adequate for the gameplay experience, especially on lower-end PCs.
- “Yes, a card game with great animation graphics!”
- “It contains various levels and bonuses; excellent graphics and melodious music make this game a special treat.”
- “The graphics are extremely well done with lots of content and relative animations.”
- “The visuals quickly become stale and the audio just becomes repetitive.”
- “Unappealing graphics, very simple mechanics, unbalanced cards, unappealing (WW2) setting, short matches...”
- “Graphic: 1/5”

The game's story mode is noted as lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging single-player experience that explores the "Mow: Face Off" narrative. While the gameplay is enjoyable, it is criticized for being limited and not particularly rewarding, suggesting that additional quests or story elements could enhance player interest and engagement. Overall, the storyline aspect feels underdeveloped, leaving players wanting more.
- “Let me tell you a story.”
- “While the game is pleasantly easy to learn, mastery is a different story.”
- “This is the spin-off of mow which is also f2p...the game has connection issues in last few months, seems improved in the latest update...the domination tactic is unique but if they add more room to play, the gameplay will be more strategic.”
- “Make a decent storyline mode for single player (for players who are interested in learning more about MOW: Face Off story!).”
- “This is the spin-off of MOW which is also free-to-play. The game has connection issues in the last few months, which seem improved in the latest update. The domination tactic is unique, but if they add more room to play, the gameplay will be more strategic. Only three lanes are very limited; the game will end too fast, and you really need to get very good cards in the very limited grid. By the way, the game itself is enjoyable but not really rewarding. Maybe they can add more quests or something for players to get more interest to continue. It's 3/5 for me.”
- “Obviously, it takes Hearthstone as a role model, unlocking sides (such as Alliance or Republic) by battle. Packs can be bought with gold or gems (real money), with five cards per pack, and quests for a major gold boost.”

The music in the game is generally described as pleasant and easy to listen to, enhancing the overall experience, though some users noted a limited variety with only a few tracks on repeat. While the graphics and gameplay received praise, the soundtrack's repetitiveness and potential bugs detracted from its overall appeal, leading to mixed reviews. Overall, the music is considered decent but could benefit from more variety and depth.
- “It contains various levels and bonuses; excellent graphics and melodious music make this game a special treat.”
- “The game also runs very smoothly, the art is nice, and I like the soundtrack as well.”
- “Music is good and easy on the ears, but there may be a lack of quantity in terms of songs.”
- “Music seems to consist of 3 tracks played on repeat with a 10-minute silence before repeating the loop; however, this could be a bug or a personal problem I had, so keep that in mind.”
- “I was skeptical at first; the graphics, music, and interface are so-so - but the strategic gameplay is really good - and this is only early access.”
- “Music: 2/5”

The game's stability has been a significant concern, with users reporting frequent crashes and bugs, particularly during loading and gameplay. While some improvements have been noted since launch, issues like a buggy achievement system and performance problems at higher resolutions persist, leaving players frustrated. Overall, the game is seen as having potential but is hindered by its current instability.
- “Runs great in a tiny window, although at 800x600, achievements do cover the button to close the battle stats after a match.”
- “Decent game, but very slow to load and pretty buggy - prone to crashing quite a bit.”
- “The one Steam achievement is buggy (a dev confirmed this), so achievement hunters, back to bed with you guys.”
- “Buggy game with interesting ideas that has been destroyed by the devs. Is there a company interested in bailing this company out and/or just buying their IP?”
grinding

Grinding is a significant aspect of the game, particularly for players looking to build competitive decks without purchasing cards. While the process can be repetitive and frustrating due to a lack of player activity in PvP matches, daily objectives and login bonuses help alleviate some of the grind. Overall, players find the grind to be addictive and fun, with hopes for future updates to enhance the experience.
- “To craft a competitive deck will require a little grinding if you choose not to purchase cards outright.”
- “It's pretty simple, grindy, and the player base is dead; I couldn't find a single PvP match, so I had to play PvE all the time.”
- “Purchasing packs of cards can require lots of grinding and may yield frustratingly poor results, and the game does not yet have a large player base, so PvP can get a bit slow at times.”

- “A smart and funny trading card game!”

The monetization model is well-balanced, allowing players to build strong decks without spending money, as new card packs can be easily obtained through gameplay. While in-game purchases are available, the game is praised for not being a cash grab or pay-to-win, making it one of the best free-to-play options on Steam.

- “I appreciate that the game offers cosmetic items for purchase, allowing players to support the developers without impacting gameplay balance.”
- “The monetization system feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending money.”
- “I feel pressured to spend real money to keep up with other players, which ruins the experience.”
