I really like this game and the graphics and concept, characters, and so many other things about it, but the one thing that makes me not like the game is that it has too many glitches. I get stuck under the map, controls don't work, and there are so many other problems. Please fix your game; I really want to like this game, but the glitches and other issues keep me away from it.”
“The graphics are nothing like the pictures shown for promoting the game.”

Honestly, the game in itself isn't that great or optimized enough to justify the price of every single thing in the game.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some enjoy the process of leveling up and acquiring skins, others feel it can be frustrating, especially when facing opponents who have invested more time or money into the game. The repetitive nature of grinding is compounded by a low player count, leading to frequent matches against the same opponents. Additionally, issues with progress not saving can further detract from the enjoyment of grinding.
“Expect to repeatedly lose to players who have been grinding XP and buying in-game cosmetics to enhance their accuracy, damage, etc. Feel free to grind your way uphill through players who have been playing since season 1, and player count is so low you will repeatedly fight the same human opponents.”
“Good game, but I lost 3000 diamonds I won yesterday and lots of relics. I spent all day farming, and now I have to do it all over again like my progress isn't saving even though I log in with my Google account. Fix that and I'll give another star or two.”
“Amazing game with great visuals and concept, but it's a bit grindy if you don't want to pay. However, it's not so annoying.”
