The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads and in-app purchases. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game currency and find the game enjoyable without spending money, others criticize the forced ads and high prices for removing them, labeling the monetization as predatory. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience, the monetization strategy appears to detract from the gameplay for a significant number of players.

- “This game rocks! A lot of fun and in-app purchases are not required.”
- “I love the game and all the great challenges and stuff like that, especially since there are no ads and you don't need to pay for no ads. That's what I love about it mostly! 10/10 great game! ”

- “This game encourages too much the microtransactions.”
- “Uninstalled after I saw the tons and tons of microtransactions; I don't remember the game even being that good honestly.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of bugs, glitches, and crashes, particularly in multiplayer and specific modes like nightmare mode. Players experience issues such as character freezing, game freezing during matches, and problems with in-game transactions, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While many appreciate the game's fun elements, the persistent technical issues have led to frustration and a call for updates to address these problems.
- “Such an amazing game and leveling system! The graphics are incredible, with no glitches or anything that I can tell. The fun part is that the higher the level, the harder it gets. If you're like me and hate losing, you'll get frustrated and play it over and over until you win. Great job! Please update it again and don't forget the amazing game you guys have created and the players who've been here since day one, as well as the new 2020 players.”
- “This game is the best! I haven't found any glitches, but I would love some updates like new characters, new weapons, and more chests with new powers. You should definitely download it; it's very fun! If you play online, you can improve your skills before playing by yourself. I would give it a 4, but I think they're planning a big update to add more skins and powers.”
- “The game is pretty buggy (lost a black strongbox because the game froze, prone to crashes in multiplayer, and broken nightmare online).”
- “I really loved this game from the bottom of my heart, but the recent updates have made the game buggy and I am not able to play this game on my phone.”
- “The developers stopped updating it; the multiplayer is super buggy to the point where sometimes it's impossible to finish the game.”
grinding

The reviews indicate that the game features a significant amount of grinding, which can be both enjoyable and tedious for players. Many users express frustration with low drop rates and repetitive missions, particularly at higher levels, while others appreciate the grind as a means to enhance their characters and enjoy multiplayer gameplay. Overall, the grinding aspect is a double-edged sword, providing a sense of progression but also leading to potential burnout due to its repetitive nature.
- “And as a free-to-play player for over 5 years, I still have trouble obtaining keys and cores even though I am level 97. The luck needed to obtain powerful weapons is ridiculous, so I have to rely on grinding faction warfare.”
- “You never seem to get really good drops from grinding. The only way to really earn XP is from the events.”
- “The pay-to-win aspect sucks. Sure, you can get black boxes and keys by grinding, but I don't have a million hours to spare. I played for years, and it took like 6 months of grinding to get a character able to handle nightmare mode without being able to open a black box.”
