The monetization in the game is heavily criticized for excessive, often forced, and very long ads that frequently disrupt gameplay, cause crashes, and drain battery. Many users find the ad-to-playtime ratio unreasonable and frustrating, with concerns about progress loss and poor ad implementation. Although ads can offer bonuses, the overwhelming presence of ads, high costs for ad removal, and intrusive ads push players away.
- “Actually fun to play, hardly any ads, and I didn't buy anything yet.”
- “New ads crash the game every time, it's a joke. As of January 30, 2026, this game will crash your device! Developers no longer respond. Do not download.”
- “Update: forced ads (game breaking sin for devs) have been added to an already ad-heavy title. Recommend staying clear of this game now.”
- “About 4 out of 10 ads crash the game and take me back to the startup screen, causing loss of all progress and energy.”

The gameplay is praised for its fun, fast-paced, and classic Metal Slug-style mechanics, offering an enjoyable old-school experience. However, frequent intrusive ads, lag issues, and occasional crashes negatively impact the overall gameplay enjoyment.
- “The game otherwise looks nice, Metal Slug vibe is great and gameplay is good.”
- “Great old school gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is amazing and it continues to be fun due to the fact that it is well made.”
- “Tried downloading this again after a few months but the adverts halfway through the levels spoil the gameplay. Don't waste your time, look for another version by a different developer as this is just a bad clone of an original classic.”
- “Issue with the game: when I try to log in with Google or Facebook it crashes, and when trying to play as a guest the game crashes after a few seconds of gameplay.”
- “Ads randomly pop up in the middle of gameplay.”

The story aspect lacks a forced narrative, which some users appreciate, but is hindered by frequent ads disrupting gameplay and annoying bugs like invisible walls blocking progress. The absence of offline mode and crashes during missions further detract from the experience. However, the mission completion and unlocking system is found to be addictive by some players.
- “Circles ‍♂️... 2 stars for no forced story line.”
- “Make some Google Play achievements like finishing each new chapter, and add limited weekly or monthly events like quests or minigames to keep the game from getting boring.”
- “Amazing game, the idea of completing missions and unlocking stuff has never been this addicting.”
- “Camp map between the missions is weird.”
- “No offline option (requires internet connection), you get prompted to watch an ad whenever you pick up a power-up (optional) as well as the store in the middle of a mission.”
- “Circles... 2 stars for no forced story line.”

The graphics are generally praised for their retro, nostalgic style reminiscent of classic games like Metal Slug, appealing to fans of old-school visuals. However, some users note issues with originality, citing copied art styles and mismatched character designs, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “Great game with retro graphics that take me back to my childhood games; the graphics are awesome.”
- “Nice graphics and much fun to play.”
- “Very cool and fun game with good graphics.”
- “Unfortunately, the game no longer loads past the opening graphic.”
- “Just a copy-paste of another game, Jackal Squadron, but instead of a tank, it's a character who doesn't even match the art style.”
- “They straight-up copied the art style of Metal Slug and even stole some of the sound effects; even the prisoners you rescue look and talk exactly like the ones in Metal Slug.”
stability

The game suffers from frequent freezing and crashes, especially during key moments like passing certain sections, opening chests, or playing ads. These stability issues significantly disrupt gameplay, leading to a frustrating and buggy experience.
- “Game freezes a lot and restarts.”
- “The game freezes every time I try to open a chest in the skirt respite between levels at the currency shop.”
- “It freezes on Inferno mode!”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The grinding in the game is repetitive and tedious, with power progression feeling incremental and slow. Players often need to grind excessively to advance past basic levels, and there is a lack of consistent upgrade options to keep the experience engaging.
- “After a point, getting more powerful is tediously incremental and it does not seem like there is anything left to do but grind the next stage, a process which gets samey very quickly.”
- “A lot of grinding just to get past basic levels and no real way to upgrade consistently.”
