The graphics in the game have received positive feedback for their smoothness and impressive 3D design, with many users noting significant enhancements in the updated version.

The gameplay is characterized by strategic depth, requiring players to employ various tactics, reminiscent of chess in unit positioning. While some find the mechanics engaging and the animations impressive, others criticize the game for its simplicity and reliance on familiar concepts from other titles like Hearthstone. Additionally, performance issues, particularly low FPS, detract from the overall experience.
- “The battlefield gameplay is really challenging - there are a lot of similarities with chess because the position of your units relative to each other can make a big difference.”
- “Spend some time learning the mechanics and you will get hooked.”
- “The mechanics seem to be on point and the animations are absolutely brilliant!”
- “The main problem is, I think, the theme: it is good not to see another RPG card game free to play but something fresh, not exploited, but I find the game simple and with repeated mechanics.”
- “And before anyone starts to say 'but it's early access,' I get it, but when the 'game foundation' and game mechanics are just taken from another game, I don't see how this game can even evolve into a real game.”
- “However, a big problem for this game is the FPS, which are awful during gameplay.”
story

Players express a desire for a more engaging story campaign, with some favoring a whimsical, pulp-inspired narrative over the current historical elements. While daily quests and rewards add some excitement, the integration of sci-fi elements feels forced and detracts from the overall storytelling experience.
- “I'm not a historical purist; in fact, I think I would enjoy the game more if it had a pulp storyline about 'Oh no, the Nazis are training a dinosaur army, so I guess we'll have to use these cool mad scientist weapons and magic to beat the Fuhrer's Teutonic T-rexes!'”
- “Would like to see that story campaign you're promising!”
- “Daily quests and rewards are pretty nice and it animates a bit the game.”
