The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the overwhelming number of ads and the heavy reliance on microtransactions, which they feel detracts from gameplay. While some appreciate the option to choose ads for rewards, others argue that the game is designed to encourage watching ads excessively, often leading to frustration and a sense of being forced to spend money to progress. Overall, the consensus leans towards viewing the monetization as a cash grab, with significant complaints about the high costs of in-game purchases and the impact on the gaming experience.
“I am usually not against microtransactions, but pay-to-win and absurd prices are too much.”
“Expensive in-game purchases.”
“Bought the no ads.”
“The game is programmed to force a loss to try and sell advertising and in-game purchases.”
“Over monetization and every aspect tries to have you watch ads for more stuff like gold and gems, just because it's a mobile game doesn't mean it should try to nickel and dime you.”
“1000% pay to win / cash grab they literally make OP pre-built decks that guarantee you able to go up to high rounds but the only way to get the decks is by dropping $10 per legendary card (most decks require you have at least 4 legendary cards).”

The gameplay is generally described as fun and easy to learn, with mechanics similar to other games like Rush Royale and Random Dice. However, players express frustration with matchmaking issues, particularly being paired with less experienced players or those using conflicting setups, leading to an unbalanced experience. Additionally, the game is criticized for its pay-to-win elements, lag issues, and repetitive mechanics, which detract from the overall enjoyment.
“The random tower upgrade mechanic is fun (frustrating at times, but overall fun).”
“Fun and easy to learn the mechanics.”
“It is really a fun game, especially in your free time. Easy game mechanics to follow, not too complicated.”
“Gameplay becomes very problematic when you are paired with players that either don't put in effort or are using setups that entirely conflict with yours.”
“Good game, but horrible mechanics. If you lose, you lose more points per loss and unfair matchmaking. You can be a new player and face someone who has all legendary towers. The only decent game mode is Attack Party, but that has a limit on how much you can play, and after your limit is up, you can watch ads to get one in your limit.”
“If I could rate 0, I would. It's such an unbalanced and rigged game. They match you with overpowered players, so you'll have no choice but to do microtransactions or pay for better gameplay. Nope, uninstalled it already.”

“Game is enjoyable enough, as well as up to date with graphics.”
“Well built random dice clone with the best graphics of the genre.”
“Great game play, great graphics!”
“Opening splash page is overkill compared to the graphics of the actual game and is non-sequitur to the game.”
“1 for 1 of random dice defense seems like they changed the visuals, that's it; it's just a cheap clone.”
“Poor graphics, boring.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be both addictive and fun, especially in the early stages. However, many express frustration with the excessive grind required in later levels, often feeling that it becomes tedious and unbalanced, particularly for free-to-play users who struggle to compete against paying players. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable gameplay, the grinding can lead to a sense of futility and dissatisfaction.
“A fun game at first, but you can clearly see it cheats after a few levels. Without spending money, it becomes beyond tedious.”
“So I spent 40 days grinding it out for nothing.”
“Free players literally don't stand a chance; you are looking at years of grinding to achieve a percentage point a whale will achieve 100 times the power in approximately 2 minutes.”

“My biggest complaint is that opening the game pauses any music/podcasts I'm listening to, which can get pretty annoying pretty fast.”
“The soundtrack and audio is awful and the gameplay is repetitive and just a blatant copy from many other games like Random Dice, just to name one.”

Overall, the game's optimization needs considerable improvement to enhance the user experience.

“It's poorly optimized; the UI is terrible, the unit design is a mess, and it's even more pay-to-win.”
“This game is for rich players because you need to pay to win. There are too many toxic players, and many use stickers to taunt competitors. The performance regarding graphics is poor, with some towers having too many effects that cause FPS drops and high device temperatures.”
