The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun mechanics, strategic depth, and engaging variety of modes, making it addictive for many players. However, issues such as frequent crashes, unbalanced matchmaking, and a heavy reliance on pay-to-win mechanics detract from the overall experience.

- “The gameplay is surprisingly good for a mobile game and it hardly ever gets boring.”
- “The gameplay mechanics in this game are a disaster.”
