The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a heavy reliance on ads, particularly for rewards, which can detract from gameplay. While some appreciate the choice-based ad system that allows for rewards without forced interruptions, others criticize the excessive number of ads and high costs of in-game purchases, labeling it a cash grab. Overall, players feel that the monetization approach can lead to a frustrating experience, especially for free-to-play users who may find themselves watching more ads than actually playing.
- “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 facing pay-to-win dynamics, which can lead to an unbalanced experience. Additionally, technical issues such as lag and crashes detract from the overall enjoyment, despite the game's potential for casual play.
- “The random tower upgrade mechanic is fun (frustrating at times, but overall fun).”
- “Fun and easy to learn the mechanics.”
- “Perfect game to just chill out on, no ads, seamless online gameplay, very easy to understand.”
- “But 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 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.”
