    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their stunning visuals, detailed art style, and smooth animations, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience. However, some users have reported issues with lag and crashes, particularly when accessing certain features, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Despite these technical concerns, the game's aesthetic appeal and character designs are frequently highlighted as standout elements.

    • “The graphics are absolutely stunning.”
    • “Graphics are superb and there's enough variety between heroes, activities, and rewards to keep it interesting.”
    • “This game is amazing, good graphics, lots of challenges and you can upgrade your own hero.”
    • “The graphics are awful; the game looks nothing like the thumbnail at all, and the controls feel detached and fluffy, not immersive. If you like stickman shadow games, this is nothing special, just a cash grab with no storyline.”
    • “The character is so slow; he is moving really slowly. The avatars are also not up to the mark. The graphics can be better, but they are just decent. The blood splash, especially, is not so good.”
    • “Very poor graphics....”
  • gameplay151 mentions

    Overall, the gameplay is widely praised for its smooth controls, engaging mechanics, and enjoyable graphics, making it fun and accessible for players. However, some users express frustration with repetitive elements, the pay-to-win model for unlocking characters, and occasional technical issues like lag and disconnections. Despite these drawbacks, many find the gameplay rewarding and addictive, with a variety of challenges and upgrades that enhance the experience.

    • “The game is fun with easy controls, amazing graphics, and a challenging yet fair gameplay.”
    • “Overall gameplay is very fun and interesting thanks to the variety of enemy movement and types.”
    • “The gameplay is engaging and fun.”
    • “The game is extremely buggy with constant network interruptions, its mechanics are not well defined, and it's so monotonous making you repeat each level.”
    • “But clunky gameplay, not exciting at all.”
    • “The game's fun to play, but the lack of descriptions and details on all the various mechanics in the game lead to confusion and decisions which can ruin your efforts.”
  • monetization124 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads and the necessity to watch them for rewards or to progress. While some appreciate the option to view ads for bonuses, others find the frequency and length of ads intrusive, leading to a perception of the game as a "pay-to-win" model with significant microtransactions and locked content. Overall, players desire a more balanced approach that offers meaningful rewards without overwhelming them with advertisements.

    • “I personally love the characters and how smoothly they respond to my commands. Also, I love how there aren't ads that show up after every battle, which is one of the main things that I hate in a game. Only a few at the beginning for those who like to spend money.”
    • “It's really a good game and this game doesn't depend on pay to win or pay to enjoy. It has in-app purchases that we want, but we won't be needing it.”
    • “This game is the best game among all of the games I have played. There are no ads while playing, but it only needs ads on prizes for free, which I kinda accepted. I recommended this game to others; it is so fun that it is making others addicted to this game.”
    • “Good game but pay or see ads to win kind of game.”
    • “Too many ads, despite already having aggressive predatory microtransaction schemes.”
    • “You're forced to watch seven ads to complete daily quests; new characters are also unobtainable by any means other than paying.”
  • story121 mentions

    The game's story has received mixed feedback from users, with many praising its graphics and overall enjoyment but criticizing the lack of depth and engagement in the narrative. Several players noted that the storyline feels repetitive and lacks meaningful character interactions, suggesting that more plot elements and unlockable characters would enhance the experience. While some users appreciate the existing story, they express a desire for additional chapters and more immersive storytelling to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.

    • “The game is super addictive with awesome graphics and a great storyline.”
    • “Graphics are amazing, the story is really good, and very addictive!”
    • “It's very nice game and its storyline is very good 👍 keep it up.”
    • “Only reason to reduce 1 star out of 5 is the lack of story and interaction with the characters in the campaign mode.”
    • “I like the game, pretty decent with solid graphics, but a put-off is the lack of storyline; you just go from stage to stage slaughtering creatures with no reason for doing so. I suggest that a plot is added to this game to make it even better.”
    • “Game is awesome but lacks stages; the same stage comes in normal, then hard, then nightmare with only a difference in difficulty level, so the same repeating story again and again.”
  • stability49 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with users reporting frequent freezes, glitches, and network errors that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience problems with rewards not being credited, unresponsive controls, and the game crashing unexpectedly, leading to frustration and a diminished overall experience.

    • “The game is extremely buggy with constant network interruptions, its mechanics are not well defined, and it's so monotonous making you repeat each level.”
    • “This game is cool but it has a lot of glitches. I always get stuck in one place during boss fights, can't move, can't do damage, can't even take damage. Other times it says I have a bad connection and kicks me out, and I know I have a good connection because I pay for good Wi-Fi. Please fix this, until then... uninstall.”
    • “Good game, really hard to play when it crashes regularly and freezes due to not being able to keep a good connection to the servers.”
  • humor15 mentions

    The humor in the game is frequently highlighted by players, with many finding it genuinely amusing, particularly due to clever references and entertaining in-game moments. While some players appreciate the comedic elements, there are mixed feelings about the developers' monetization strategies, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the game is described as fun and funny, contributing positively to the gaming experience.

    • “The actual hilarious part though is how the issue gets fixed before I get an answer in the first place.”
    • “Ok this is actually good and it's funny because it has Devil May Cry references.”
    • “One of your ads made me laugh in a good way, so yeah here is your reward.”
    • “It's quite fun and nice to play, but how money-hungry the devs are is not funny.”
    • “The jokes fall flat and often feel forced, making the humor feel more like a chore than a delight.”
    • “I expected a lot of laughs, but the humor is stale and lacks creativity.”
  • grinding13 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While some appreciate the challenge and feel rewarded for their efforts, many express frustration over the high costs of upgrades, the necessity of grinding for resources, and the reliance on ads or real money for additional champions. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the grinding can be tedious and may hinder character progression.

    • “Having to watch ads to literally get anything is extremely annoying. Having only 2 champions and needing to pay real money to get the others is also frustrating. Implementing another way to get the other champions would be really nice; even if it's grindy, at least we will have a choice.”
    • “You'll waste your hard work grinding your account if you play this.”
    • “It's a fun game, but it's very hard to progress your character because there's not much to do; basically, you have to keep grinding.”
  • optimization10 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players report smooth performance and good graphics, others experience issues like lag, glitches, and unresponsive controls, particularly during intense gameplay with many enemies. Improvements are needed to enhance responsiveness and reduce slowdowns, especially for those with weaker connections. With better optimization, the game has the potential to elevate its performance significantly.

    • “Game runs smoothly on my Moto E4 in medium graphics.”
    • “It's the best game at the moment; it has wonderful graphics and runs smoothly.”
    • “Great experience with gameplay, smooth performance, full of action.”
    • “Needs a little optimization for people with bad connections.”
    • “Gameplay overall is good, but there is sudden slowness when there are too many enemies on screen. Better optimization is needed, and we should be able to dash whenever we want without having to wait for our normal attacks to finish. The buttons are not responsive; sometimes I press dash and just stand still, getting hit by enemies. 3 stars for now, but with better improvements, there's potential for a 5.”
    • “It's just a poorly optimized app.”
  • music8 mentions

    Overall, the music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the dark tone and find it fitting, others criticize it for being subpar and suggest improvements. Many users express a desire for more variety in the music across different maps, indicating that the current soundtrack does not fully meet their expectations. Despite these critiques, the game's overall experience is still positively received.

    • “It's the same type of game as this, except this really is much better, smoother, better music, better graphics, more depth on characters and long term play.”
    • “Well, the game is good; the music and dark tone are perfect. It's not a pay-to-win game, which is also a good point. The game needs improvement with the pace of action; it's kind of slow, but I waited for this game and it didn't disappoint me. Thanks for the game! 😁😁😁”
    • “Dwayne is five stars because I love this game so much! The songs are great, and you can't help but give five stars to the game. So accept that I like your game; it's cool.”

    • “Nice game but bad music.”
