The gameplay is generally well-received, praised for its fun, simple yet deep mechanics, and balanced character interactions, making it engaging and addictive. However, some players find it slow and clunky, with issues like unresponsive controls and a heavy reliance on AI opponents in multiplayer. Additionally, the grind for character unlocks and the presence of ads detract from the overall experience.
- “Gameplay is fun, simple, yet deep.”
- “The gameplay is simple enough, but not too simple that it doesn't motivate me to keep playing, it's just right.”
- “The gameplay is easy to learn, hard to master.”
- “The gameplay is generally way too slow and clunky.”
- “I'd be fine with the slow, methodical gameplay if it didn't take five seconds to change directions or keep going in the wrong way completely.”
- “Pretty confident that the multiplayer is mostly against AI, as turning off Wi-Fi once in games causes no problems for gameplay.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players expressing a willingness to pay small amounts to remove ads or unlock characters, while others find the prices excessive and the premium pass unappealing. Many users appreciate the low frequency of ads, noting that the game is not pay-to-win, but some still desire a more balanced approach to monetization that allows for character unlocks through gameplay rather than solely through purchases. Overall, the game is praised for its fun mechanics and minimal ad interference, though there are calls for improvements in monetization strategies.
- “Best game in the universe ever made, the game isn't pay to win, it has no ads and the controls are so simple, it's the perfect game!”
- “Hi, this game is so fun! Unlocking characters and skills is a joy, the game has almost no ads and overall it's a good experience.”
- “It's simple and fun, no ads, it's crazy.”
- “I would have been willing to pay $3 to get rid of ads or $1 to purchase a character, but the prices are excessive.”
- “Pretty fun and skillful, but I don't really like that some characters you can't get due to money. I know you need to monetize your game, but it could be better if you could earn coins from battles, watch ads to get more, and use coins to buy characters and cosmetics while keeping some under specific unlocks—just none that cost money. Most of the fanbase won't spend $7 on characters.”
- “This game is fun, but it has many ads and annoying mechanics.”
