The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitiveness, lack of challenge, and awkward mechanics, such as confusing resource terminology and clunky unit controls. While some players find it simple and easy to learn, others note that it feels poorly executed and slow-paced, with limited strategic depth. Despite these issues, a few users appreciate the challenge it presents and suggest it may still be worth trying for its price.
- “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.”
- “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.”
- “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 game 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 The outdated user interface and lack of resolution options further contribute to a sense of poor polish, leading players to feel that the game has not improved significantly over the years.
- “Oh, not to mention the giant tons of bugs, visual glitches, pixel artifacts all around the UI, and an ugly, outdated UI that is far worse than generic tower defense games and even Plants vs. Zombies (you know, a video game from 2009). The poorly designed encyclopedia only shows a single enemy by 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.'”
