The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players enjoying the fun mechanics and unique blend of battle royale and MOBA elements, while others criticize issues such as long matchmaking times, clunky controls, and balance problems. Players appreciate the easy-to-pick-up nature of the game, but express frustration over bugs, slow item routing, and the need for more depth and complexity in gameplay. Overall, while the core mechanics are seen as enjoyable, significant improvements are needed in various areas to enhance the overall experience.
- “The champions are all fun to play, the gameplay is ridiculously easy to pick up but difficult to master.”
- “Fantastic aesthetic, fun gameplay, lots of genre ideas combined very elegantly.”
- “The gameplay is fun, innovative and rewarding.”
- “I have zero hours of gameplay as all of my playtime has been spent waiting for matches.”
- “The routing is pitiful, making items is painfully slow, the interface is somehow even less beginner-friendly than ERBS, which I didn't believe possible until now. The combat is clunky, the map is too big and boring, the inventory is too small for how poor the routing for items is, health and mana regen so slowly that I think the game is just not telling me how the mechanic works, because there is no way they intend for it to be that slow and useless.”
- “The developers change the core gameplay design every few months, meaning at any point this game can implode on itself because these developers seem incompetent.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and frustrating, often leading to a tedious experience as they farm for resources and gear. While some appreciate the depth it adds to gameplay, many feel that the balance between farming and action is skewed, making matches feel slow and drawn out. Overall, the grind is seen as a significant barrier to enjoyment, particularly for those looking to unlock characters or progress without spending real money.
- “Clearing a whole forest of boars, consuming multiple potions that you crafted, and still not getting the item that you were farming for is just infuriating.”
- “The amount of randomness in drops, bugs, overpowered characters/items, and brainless farming materials just makes the game feel long and boring; every time I play, I feel like I am in a math class.”
- “The grinding to unlock is pretty intense, but it's all part of the charm of a game like this.”

The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, crashes, and server problems that disrupt gameplay and party systems. While some improvements have been made since launch, many players still experience character freezing, matchmaking difficulties, and a poorly designed interface, leading to a recommendation to wait for further fixes before diving in. Overall, the game's stability remains a major concern, impacting the overall experience.
- “Huge major glitches/exploits need to be fixed for this game to be worth your time.”
- “There are times in the match where the character completely freezes while your teammates are able to move.”
- “It's not a beta; it can hardly even be called an alpha, so buggy is everything about matchmaking, queuing, party invites, etc. Trying to play with friends, everyone will have to restart constantly to fix random bugs like party invites not working, or sometimes you straight up don't connect to the game.”

The monetization strategy of the game primarily revolves around cosmetic purchases, with three currencies: gold (earned through gameplay), crowns (for cosmetics), and gems (real money). While players can unlock all champions through in-game currency, there are concerns about the game's lack of advertising and ongoing issues, leading some to perceive it as a potential cash grab. Overall, players feel that improved advertising could enhance the game's visibility and player base, addressing matchmaking issues.
- “The game is absolutely fantastic but there is no advertising, despite regular updates.”
- “The monetization is 100% cosmetic.”
- “Monetization consists of 3 currencies: gold - earned by playing, crowns - used for cosmetics, and gems - paid.”
- “They haven't really fixed or worked on any grievances the community has had for over a year and instead just keep shoving more monetization into the game, which seems to be the standard Korean developer practice when you're running out of ideas and passion for your project.”
- “All of the red flags you'd expect from a bad, lazy cash grab.”
- “Characters are all costly to get and require real cash, painting the game in just a cash grabbing light.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of engaging narrative and reliance on repetitive quests for currency, which can lead to a frustrating experience. Players feel that the progression system is overly reliant on grinding for gold, making it difficult to unlock characters without spending real money. Additionally, the initial gameplay experience with bots is described as dull and unchallenging, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “Kids, sit down, I'm going to tell you a story.”
- “People complain about not being able to buy characters for free, but if you play long enough, you are constantly gaining gold through missions, daily logins, and your battle pass.”
- “These quests are along the lines of this:”
- “The issue is the only way to get currency isn't by playing the game; it's by playing a mini-game to complete quests outside of the matches to get gold.”
- “Gating currency behind quests only causes a weird kind of bottleneck of power - you either buy diamonds or suffer painfully waiting for 18k GP at 60-80 GP a pop.”
- “Now let's say you complete 3 quests a match; that's 86 matches for one champion. 9 champions x 86 matches = 774 matches or 2322 quests with no way to reduce that other than to pay for diamonds.”
