The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitiveness, lack of challenge, and awkward mechanics, such as confusing terminology and limited unit options. While some players find it simple and easy to learn, others note that it feels clunky and slow, with a poorly executed lane-defense system reminiscent of other titles in the genre. Despite these issues, a few reviewers suggest that the gameplay can still be enjoyable, especially considering its low price and minor bugs.
- “The gameplay is simple and easy to learn: recruit an army, defend the horizontal lanes, and protect the catapults.”
- “For the store price, I would say, give it a try, the bugs are minor, the gameplay is great, so go ahead and enjoy yourself; you can always refund if it's not to your liking.”
- “With a little more attention to detail and some added depth to the gameplay, it could have been a great addition to the tower defense genre.”
- “Oh how about zero resources, focus on spamming unlimited garbage units just for the sake of delaying enemies, the audacity of giving you limited units, being forced to use awkward and clunky catapults on each lane for main damage and the trash idea of confusing players by calling gold 'gold' on the unit selection screen but it's called 'score' during gameplay.”
- “The gameplay itself is repetitive and lacks any real challenge.”
- “It's a poorly put together lane-defense in the style of Plants vs. Zombies (not to make any direct comparisons, just so you know what we are talking about here). It's ugly as sin and has very slow gameplay.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, visual glitches, and pixel artifacts that detract from the overall experience. The outdated user interface and lack of resolution options further contribute to a perception of poor polish, leaving players disappointed even after years of updates.
- “Oh, not to mention the giant tons of bugs, visual glitches, and pixel artifacts all around the UI. The outdated UI is ugly and far worse than generic tower defense games, and even worse than Plants vs. Zombies (a game from 2009). The poorly designed encyclopedia only shows a single enemy when clicking the left or right arrow, and like in Plants vs. Zombies, there is only one resolution. You cannot change the window size, and playing in fullscreen looks awful, like it was some sort of crappy mobile port.”
- “I came back to it 7 years later in hope that 'hey, maybe that mess of a buggy early access game feels now like a polished good game, to say the least.'”
