The gameplay is generally described as addictive and enjoyable, particularly for fans of auto battlers like Hearthstone Battlegrounds, though it has been criticized for its steep learning curve and some frustrating mechanics. While many players appreciate the strategic depth and unique features, recent updates have introduced lag issues and diminished some gameplay elements, leading to mixed feelings about its balance and innovation. Overall, the game offers a solid experience with intuitive mechanics, but it may require patience to fully appreciate its depth.
- “Quite addictive once you get used to the mechanics of the game.”
- “It's more balanced than most auto battlers, surprisingly clear on its mechanics, and quick to boot.”
- “Fun and exciting gameplay.”
- “Has some issues with lag as the matches go on, but otherwise very solid and dynamic gameplay with several factions and relatively easy pivots.”
- “Let alone that somehow with the new update they not only ruined many gameplay elements - they also took a game that could run at over 100 fps down to running at a consistent 15-5 at times with extreme server lag.”
- “I started the 'tutorial' which was the equivalent of being thrown into a river to learn how to swim... the UI was not intuitive, a few mechanics weren't really obvious (and there was no popup text to tell me what it meant) and I had a bug pop up within the short period of time I spent to learn it.”

The reviews indicate that the game lacks a compelling story, with players noting it primarily serves as a strategic auto-battler similar to others in the genre, such as Storybook Brawl. While it offers engaging mechanics and gameplay, it does not innovate on narrative elements, leading some to recommend competing titles for a more enriched experience. Overall, the focus remains on gameplay rather than storytelling.
- “There are already integrated guilds and you can finish quests against friends.”
- “There are competitors out there like Storybook Brawl which have some interesting mechanics and differences from Battlegrounds which push the genre forward.”
- “Not fixing bugs on top of really bad mechanics, play Storybook Brawl instead.”
- “☑ No story.”
- “Scratches the HS:BG itch, but I just wish they innovated more on the core gameplay like Storybook Brawl did.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent bugs, server unreliability, and issues such as freezes, crashes, and lag. Many players find the experience frustrating due to these technical problems, which significantly impact gameplay. While there are options to report bugs, the overall consensus is that the game remains a "buggy, imbalanced mess."
- “However, I have one big problem with this game right now: the servers are utterly unreliable and sometimes it is beyond frustrating to even finish a game given how frequent freezes, crashes, and extreme lags are.”
- “A couple of things: a lot of bugs where it black screens, freezes on you, and it straight up doesn't respond.”
- “Buggy client can lead to crashes while playing, units can randomly disappear, lots of framerate issues, and pretty rough MMR gain (+99 for 1st, +19 for 4th, -80 for 5th).”

- “If future updates come out with quality of life changes to performance and matchmaking rating gains, I might play it again.”
- “However, when compared to other games within the autobattler genre, this game doesn't stand out at all compared to the rest of the pack, and includes performance issues.”
- “Awful performance, and the game is literally just an auto chess/TFT/Hearthstone battler with boring units.”
- “Performance issues make this game a chore to play sometimes.”
- “Very little interesting ideas/archetypes, but performance issues, poor MMR gains, and pay-to-win mechanics prevent me from investing more time into the game.”

- “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it prioritizes profit over player experience.”
