The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it as a "cash grab" due to the overwhelming presence of forced ads and pay-to-win mechanics. While some appreciate the option to watch ads voluntarily for bonuses, the excessive and intrusive nature of ads has led to frustration, diminishing the overall enjoyment of the game. Players are calling for a balance in in-game purchases and a reduction in ad frequency to improve the gaming experience.
“This game is a very good game; it's about luck and it's like chess but better, and the best part about it is no ads!”
“Decently fun concept and no ads forced down your throat.”
“No ads, having a great time 👍”
“Once the ads started becoming forced to watch instead of voluntary, it got nearly unplayable.”
“I get it, ads give you money, but I already watch ads to get bonuses in the game. When I have to sit through forced ads without any reward, it makes me not want to even open the game anymore.”
“As soon as you unlock a certain level, everything becomes pay-to-win. You have to watch long ads to claim rewards, and they can't be skipped reasonably.”

“Upon logging on, I am still greeted with the same buggy issues in both connection and gameplay.”
“Latest issue is the game glitches/flashes during gameplay and when switching screens.”
“Just bad, the tutorial is terrible and the gameplay is boring; it's so outdated, it's just a pathetic cash grab.”

The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes that severely impact gameplay. Issues such as freezing during matches, unresponsive buttons, and connection problems are prevalent, leading to frustrating experiences where players often lose due to these technical failures. While some improvements have been noted since launch, many players still find the game to be overly unstable and in need of further debugging.
“The package for achieving pro ranking is unclaimable, constant freezes and lockouts that end up costing you the game, and a very stale meta.”
“Horrifically buggy, if you can get a match, it will most likely freeze and force close, and when you re-open the app you have already lost, or it will put UI over the game in progress to guarantee you a loss.”
“This has got to be the most buggy release I have seen in a game, to the point you lose because of the game being buggy, refusing you to place your dice, making you die for lack of power. The lobbies take ages to get into, sometimes the app straight up refuses to start, and leveling up your dice could result in a soft lock.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of engaging content and frustrating mechanics, such as mandatory league matches tied to quests and unbalanced rewards. Players express dissatisfaction with bugs that hinder progress and the overwhelming presence of ads, which detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the game's potential and ongoing improvements, many feel that the quest system and reward structure need significant refinement to enhance player satisfaction.
“Edit: The game is much better, no longer has too many network problems. If only this game had more ways to get coins and gems. Also, another way to use the quest would be a token system where each match you win gives you one token, and you need a certain amount of tokens to get a random card from a select few that you choose from or that change each month like a gacha. I can tell the developers are working very hard, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this game develops.”
“This game is so good! Easy quests and easy gems make for a balanced game, but you might hate the pay-to-win aspect. I love it so much!”
“Now when you start playing, you will steamroll to class 9 no problem, but now it's rated. If you don't have maxed dice, you're going to sit in queue for several minutes at a time just to get beat by someone who has higher class dice. End of story.”
“I have contacted you with nothing done still after a week.... I completed a quest when a lot of accounts went into a restricted state, but the near impossible quest I completed did not register.”
“Now when you start playing, you will steamroll to class 9 no problem, but now it's rated, and if you don't have maxed dice, you're gonna sit in queue for several minutes at a time just to get beat by someone who just has higher class dice. End of story.”
“The game has so many bugs it's not even funny. Just a few: disconnects, auto placement, losing hearts when winning, etc. Also, it's really hard to farm diamonds after finishing the main quest. I hope there will be a better source than league or that league rewards themselves will be better.”

Overall, the graphics of the game are praised for their quality, animations, and accompanying soundtracks, creating an engaging experience. However, some users have noted issues with graphics lag and have requested options to adjust the quality settings. Despite these concerns, many players find the visuals to be a standout feature that enhances their enjoyment of the game.
“Nice graphics, animations, and sounds/music.”
“Nice graphics and sound.”
“It is once in a blue moon that you find a good mobile game, but this game is nothing short of a miracle. The graphics are perfect; not only does it have audio, it has banger background music that I will hum into the grave. It has no forced ads and is the perfect blend of strategy, skill, and the smallest amount of luck. All that combined makes a game I will play on my deathbed.”
“They won't address the graphics lag.”
“Decent game, but can you add a graphics option or quality option? It's kind of laggy.”
“It's a good game with promise, but it borrows graphics from the original dice game.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while it offers an engaging experience and is largely bug-free, many users report significant performance issues, particularly with lag during gameplay when multiple elements are on screen. Some players express hope for future improvements, but current battery drain and performance problems detract from the enjoyment.
“Not only does it provide an engaging gameplay experience, but it also stands out for its exceptional bug-free performance.”
“I expect that the game performance will eventually improve as fixes are implemented.”
“Needs to be optimized but the game is fun and strategic.”
“4 stars because it's a really fun game, but it has very bad performance issues. When there are more than 8 dice on the board, I can't even watch the match play out; instead, I get a frame-by-frame view of dice just vanishing off the board because it's so laggy.”
“Unoptimized”

“Kinda funny - I can hop right on to the original Random Dice and play just fine.”
