The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising the graphics while others criticize the lack of depth and variety, noting a bland experience with limited mechanics and a stagnant multiplayer environment. Players express disappointment over the absence of special abilities and diverse game modes, as the current offering primarily revolves around a basic deathmatch format that can become repetitive.
“Gameplay is pretty good.”
“Also, while the gameplay is pretty good, the game mode now at launch is just a classic deathmatch with no twist on it.”
“I'd love to have seen some more teamwork and objective-based gameplay, because 1 on 1 deathmatch gets stale pretty quick.”
“The gameplay and mechanics are so-so; there are no special abilities like flying, no climbing, no vehicles, and no buildables.”
“I won't touch on most of the actual gameplay because I only had the two starting heroes and couldn't play much because of a bug I'll explain next.”
“I'd love to have seen some more teamwork and objective-based gameplay, because 1 on 1 deathmatch gets stale pretty quickly.”

“I found the soundtrack to be uninspired and forgettable, which detracted from the overall experience.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, especially at lower levels where experience points required per level start low but increase substantially, making progression feel tedious without the presence of other players to engage with.
“It takes a few hundred experience points per level at low levels, increasing as you progress, so it can feel quite grindy if you don't have people to play against.”
“The grinding required to level up becomes tedious after a while, especially when the experience points needed keep increasing.”
“Without a solid group to play with, the grind feels endless and can really detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
