  • monetization1,104 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and the high cost of in-game purchases. While some users appreciate that ads are optional and can provide rewards, others report frequent crashes and glitches when attempting to watch ads, leading to a negative experience. Overall, the game is perceived as heavily leaning towards a pay-to-win model, with many players feeling pressured to watch numerous ads or spend money to progress effectively.

    • “The in-game purchases are rather expensive, but that massively decreases pay-to-win allowing a fair fight.”
    • “Super fun and addictive, leveling is done well, microtransactions aren't annoying, and battles are fun and challenging, checks the boxes for me.”
    • “No ads unless you want to watch them.”
    • “The built-in advertising is so glitchy that it oftentimes doesn't give you the reward it says it will after you've watched the ad, so frustrating not to mention the game freezes a lot.”
    • “But again we are running into the issue where you are forced to watch ads to play and progress...and then when you watch the ads the game crashes and the app closes and you need to start all over again and the game acts as if you had never watched the ad...fix this glitch or get rid of the ads for a more positive rating.”
    • “Pay-to-win BS, increasing lag, and buggy ads (that often fail to provide the promised rewards and even crash the game in the process) ruin what should be a fun game.”
  • gameplay416 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its fun mechanics and addictive nature, while others criticize it for being heavily reliant on RNG and pay-to-win elements. Connection issues and unbalanced matchmaking detract from the experience, leading to frustration among players, especially in competitive modes. Overall, while the core gameplay is engaging and offers unique mechanics, the presence of aggressive monetization and technical problems significantly impact player satisfaction.

    • “The gameplay itself is absolutely beautiful, so fun and so much variety for deck building.”
    • “Gameplay is very good.”
    • “The gameplay is horrible too, when you spawn your troops you have a small chance of actually getting what you wanted; it's too random.”
    • “Gameplay is totally random so the winner will always be who plays the most or spends the most.”
    • “Absolutely pathetic gameplay... all based on pure luck in the end and no skill will help you out whatsoever... complete waste of time.”
  • stability181 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, lag, and connection issues that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience crashes during matches, particularly after watching ads or during intense battles, leading to lost progress and frustration. While some users report occasional smooth gameplay, the overwhelming consensus is that the game is plagued by bugs and glitches, making it nearly unplayable for many.

    • “I love it! They don't put ads in your face unless you want a reward, and I had no glitches while I was playing. Nice.”
    • “No bugs when I play, no glitches!”
    • “It's very nice to play in your free time and it has no glitches; it's amazing.”
    • “Great game, but the constant 'connection issues' and lag so bad I lose a health or two before I even load into the game are ridiculous. Sometimes so bad it freezes everything and I have to hard restart my device.”
    • “The game freezes and kicks you out a lot.”
    • “I have been trying to play this game for the last several hours, but I can't even make it through the intro because it freezes after a few seconds.”
  • graphics165 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their smoothness, cuteness, and appealing art style, making it visually enjoyable for players. However, some users report issues with graphics not loading properly, causing gameplay difficulties, and express a desire for options to reduce graphic intensity to improve performance on lower-end devices. Overall, while the graphics are a highlight for many, there are concerns about performance and the game's similarity to other titles.

    • “The art style is amazing and gameplay is smooth!”
    • “Super cute graphics! Simple controls, tons of fun!!”

    • “After the most recent update, graphics don't load correctly, just text on my screen; a fun game soon to be uninstalled...”
    • “It's an okay game at first but then it's so boring and then you realize how trash the graphics are; my mom played a video game 25 years ago and it had better graphics.”
  • story120 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players expressing a desire for a dedicated story mode or campaign to enhance the gameplay experience. Users frequently mention that the quest system feels frustratingly tied to ads and in-game purchases, leading to a perception of a "pay-to-win" model that detracts from the overall enjoyment. While some players appreciate the fun mechanics and co-op features, the absence of a compelling narrative or single-player content leaves many feeling that the game lacks substance.

    • “Wouldn't mind seeing it have a story mode.”
    • “For a free-to-play game, this one is pretty amazing. There's no energy bar limiting how much you can play, there are daily quests, and you can continue grinding to just make gold and move up the ladder.”
    • “Yep.. straight up pay to win.. you don't even have the option for grinding since there isn't any story mode.. it's pure PvP or co-op, so after the 'tutorial' arena, you immediately face players who have a full deck of epic/legendary cards and have no chance to win.. 30 minutes of playing and already saw the whole mechanic of the game then uninstalled.”
    • “It's not a single player at all; for you to obtain upgrades, you have to play PvP or PvE... should have a story mode option or something... therefore I will not continue.. one star.”
    • “I wish they would make a story mode and add 50 levels to it every season or something where you do the traditional wave fighting for custom rewards or something but this game is actually so fun.”
  • grinding104 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring weeks or months of effort to achieve meaningful progress, especially for free-to-play players. Many users feel that the game heavily favors pay-to-win mechanics, making it difficult to compete without spending money, and that the grind often leads to frustration rather than satisfaction. While some players find enjoyment in the grind, the overall sentiment suggests that it detracts from the game's fun and competitive elements.

    • “It'll take you weeks of grinding quests before you get your first legendary.”
    • “Spent months grinding, buying the occasional battle pass just for them to continuously drop competitive advantages through pay-to-win features that render my efforts pointless.”
    • “After days and days of grinding (and watching hundreds of ads to earn extra cards and gold), you will just be left discontent and frustrated.”

    The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players reporting severe performance issues, including frequent crashes, long loading times, and lag during gameplay. Many users express frustration over the developers' apparent lack of interest in addressing these problems, which significantly detracts from the overall experience. While some players note occasional smooth performance, the consensus is that substantial improvements are urgently needed to enhance stability and playability.

    • “Game is incredible when it runs smoothly.”
    • “The game does have some performance issues, but it seems they're working on it.”
    • “Runs smoothly about 98% of the time, which is more than I can say for other apps.”

    • “Bad performance, it's eating RAM and hanging my 3GB RAM device and I'm not running any app except the game.”
  • humor27 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players finding it entertaining and fun, particularly in casual play and through emotes, while others express frustration over unbalanced mechanics and connection issues that detract from the experience. Many reviews highlight that the initial humor fades as players encounter paywalls and luck-based gameplay, leading to a sense of irony rather than genuine enjoyment. Overall, while some aspects are amusing, the game's flaws often overshadow the humor.

    • “It's been very, very funny. I've been playing for a while now; it's a little of a challenge as well, and that I like.”
    • “What a hilarious way of balancing the game.”
    • “It's really fun; the emotes are hilarious and there are barely any ads.”
    • “There are many unfunny mechanics when it comes to combat.”
    • “A boring limited boss rush substituted it... okay, this game is not funny anymore.”

  • music19 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its quality and fun, while others criticize its limited quantity, noting only two background tracks. Many users express frustration over the game's music overriding their own playlists, even when turned off in settings, and suggest the need for a more diverse soundtrack. Overall, while the music enhances the gaming experience for some, it also detracts from it for others due to technical issues and repetitiveness.

    • “Satisfying sound and music makes it more fun to play.”
    • “Very fun, very stress relieving. After I'm tired of ML, I play this game. It does not need as much brainpower as needed in ML. Really relaxing and fun, and the music is also childish and relaxing.”
    • “Music is good in quality, but a joke for quantity (only has two BGMs).”
    • “The most annoying part is the music that starts suddenly out of nowhere even with the sound options off.”
    • “Love the game, great job, but I cut the sound off because I tend to listen to music in the background, and it keeps saying it's off but keeps playing it.”
    • “If you are listening to music or an audiobook and click an ad after a game... be prepared for your ears to bleed.”
  • replayability9 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is viewed positively by many players, highlighting the variety of random merges and unit combinations that encourage experimentation. However, some users express concerns about diminishing replay value due to limited playable units and recent updates that have negatively impacted the experience.

    • “Very replayable due to the random merging of units and has lots of options to try out for different units and combinations.”
    • “The skill level of merging characters keeps you engaged, and for the moment, the replay value holds its own.”
    • “Very fun game and good replay value; keep it up.”
    • “So little reward and 0 replayability.”
    • “Only about 5 units are playable.”
    • “Please make mirror match an all-time optional game mode or at least make it more playable.”

    The atmosphere of the game is generally appreciated for its appeal, but it is marred by connection issues and a pervasive pay-to-win environment, which detracts from the overall experience for some players.

    • “It has a nice atmosphere.”
    • “The constant connection issues, combined with a heavy pay-to-win atmosphere, are making me reconsider my year-long commitment to this game.”
    • “The atmosphere feels overwhelmingly negative, with the constant pressure to spend money overshadowing any enjoyment I might have.”
