“Great graphics and overall concept.”
“The graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth.”
“Very impressed, brilliant graphics and very addictive gameplay.”
“Unless you absolutely love the WW2 theme, which graphics-wise is decent, there's not much to this game.”

The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with smooth mechanics and appealing graphics. However, many players express frustration with balance issues, particularly regarding the prevalence of certain overpowered units and the impact of pay-to-win elements on matchmaking. While the game offers a dynamic experience, it often leads to tedious matches where strategy is overshadowed by card levels and unit spamming.
“The gameplay is fast and fairly intense.”
“Great game, while it's still in its early stages from what I can tell, gameplay is great, very few bugs, pretty well balanced (matchmaking could use some tweaks), all in all an awesome game.”
“Amazing gameplay, tiny bit pay-to-win but not bad, matchmaking could be more balanced.”
“Waste of time. You'll just get katyusha spammed to oblivion with no way to stop them. I played 10 2v2 matches and all the enemy players do is spam katyushas and mechanics to repair them. If they take damage once, the enemy team does that, you're literally spending all your points on artillery or bombs just to stop them. Every game I played, I had the enemy team have upwards to 6 katyushas while my teammate and I were spending all our points on abilities to stop them. We couldn't even deploy our own troops.”
“Descent gameplay, but everything takes forever to get and they keep pairing you with stronger players so you lose constantly.”
“Very unfortunate about this as I like this game, but these game makers do nothing against cheaters and say that there is nothing wrong with their program, software, or gameplay.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to play without spending money, while others criticize it as a "pay-to-win" model that heavily relies on microtransactions for upgrades. Many users express a desire for more balanced monetization options, such as the ability to watch ads for rewards, while others feel that the game is a cash grab with limited content. Overall, the integration of ads is seen as either beneficial or detrimental, depending on individual player experiences.
“You don't have to pay to win (all comes down to tactics and player selections), no ads... is a great feature as well!”
“The way the devs make their money is a win-win too: there are zero popup ads and no ads to watch for benefits.”
“In-app purchases are available and reasonable.”
“Just another cash grab app with no content.”
“Pretty much a pay to win knock off of much better games like Clash Royale. You get matched with people with upgraded units which instantly decides who's going to win the match before it even can start, and after you lose you get bombarded with pop-up ads shoving 'deals' in your face promoting pay to win. It's just a waste of time and hard drive space.”
“Unfortunately, I feel like this game is a cash grab.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent freezing and crashing reported during battles and matches, leading to frustrating losses. Many players have noted that these issues have worsened after recent updates, resulting in a buggy experience that detracts from overall enjoyment. While some players still find the game fun, the persistent glitches and connection problems are major drawbacks that need urgent attention.
“There are no glitches or interruptions from ads.”
“The game runs smoothly without any crashes.”
“I appreciate the consistent performance; it never lags.”
“When in a battle, the game freezes and shows the WiFi image in red, letting your opponent win by destroying all your buildings, and you lose points when it's over.”
“This game freezes way too much, and you can't win if your side of the board is frozen.”
“You lose connection or it freezes, and it costs you to lose a match that you are playing.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and time-consuming, often feeling like a chore designed to encourage spending money. While some enjoy the casual gameplay and the thrill of grinding for cash, many express frustration with matchmaking issues and the perceived pay-to-win mechanics that hinder progress without financial investment. Overall, the grinding can be fun but is marred by a lack of balance and rewarding progression systems.
“It used to be fun, but due to the developers' inability to fix matchmaking, I have grown tired of grinding through players who are up to 1500 points higher rank than me.”
“This company is more about trying to get your money than letting you enjoy the grind. There's no buffer in this game, and as soon as you build any sort of economic income, unless you pay, you're going to get attacked. Grinding is no fun as it's taken as soon as you get anything good.”
“Fun gameplay, which quickly becomes tedious as it is yet another time sink designed to frustrate you in an attempt to get you to spend ungodly amounts of money.”

The game's story aspect is generally appreciated, particularly its World War II theme, but many players express a desire for a more developed narrative and longer missions. While the early missions are described as fun and engaging, there are calls for a dedicated story mode and the ability to replay missions for better progression. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the lack of a substantial storyline detracts from the experience for some users.
“It is an amazing game; it is the story of World War heroes. Its rating is good. My friend installed the game and enjoyed it!”
“I love the story about WWII, and this game is awesome.”
“It's good; I love it and wish there was a story mode, though.”
“That was a very, very bad game. Don't download it... I have tier (level) nine but the missions are the same and the graphics are unchanged... please don't waste your time.”
“I would, however, like to see a storyline or a match that will last longer than 3 minutes; but overall, great game, well done creators!”
“The missions are repetitive and lack variety, making the gameplay feel stale and unengaging.”

The game's optimization has received criticism for laggy menus, particularly the guild list, and an outdated user interface, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite having semi-realistic graphics and unique gameplay elements, players report performance issues that seem disproportionate to the graphical quality, leading to frequent hangs even on capable devices. Overall, there is a strong call for improvements in both UI and game performance.
“I like that it varies the performance of each player and allows for strategic play.”
“Really cool game but the menu is not that optimized neither is the game itself.”
“Even though I would like to see some optimization, the game itself has somewhat semi-realistic graphics and has a lot of unique units and support skills.”
“Game performance issues and graphics are too heavy for the game, although the graphics are not of high quality to warrant such heaviness.”
“The game is hanging a lot; my phone has 4GB RAM and plenty of empty space, with a brilliant processor. Please, please, please improve the game UI and main menu performance.”
“Even though I would like to see some optimization, the guild list is extremely laggy and the UI looks kind of outdated. For the most part, it's just visuals in the menu; the game itself has somewhat semi-realistic graphics and a lot of unique units and support skills.”

“If I'm spending money, I want better visuals and premium tunes; the gameplay is pretty good, but I hope for updates.”
“The in-game music can be turned off in settings for those who are really focused on gameplay.”
