The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous players reporting frequent freezes, particularly during critical moments such as winning battles or defeating bosses. Many users have experienced glitches that require restarting the app, leading to frustration and a sense of unfairness in gameplay. While the game has potential, the persistent bugs and performance issues detract from the overall experience.
- “Just before we win, the game freezes with the opponent's HP at 1%.”
- “Game is good but is full of glitches. Whenever I win in the arena or in the boss level, the app always freezes and crashes. Sometimes I try to stay there just to check if it was because of the internet connection, but nothing happens. Then I have to restart the game, and if you check the history, it shows that you lost the last battle. If you die during a battle, they show you a video to 'resurrect,' and even if you choose to watch, you won't resurrect. So pathetic.”
- “On level 4-20, I have defeated the boss multiple times, but the character and boss freeze, making it impossible to finish the match without restarting.”

- “You can't get blue or green equipment in the normal story mode, so that basically forces players to buy equipment with microtransactions.”
