The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, polished feel, and dynamic character designs, offering a casual yet engaging experience reminiscent of games like Overwatch. However, some players note issues with fluidity and responsiveness, suggesting that improvements are needed for a smoother experience. Despite a low player count affecting matchmaking, the core gameplay remains enjoyable and accessible, with a diverse roster of characters and a fast-paced, team-oriented approach.
- “Extremely polished, responsive, and snappy gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is really fun, characters are not hard to learn and you get a hang of them quickly.”
- “Overall, it's an early access game where the gameplay feels polished and I would expect it from a fully released game.”
- “The gameplay isn't fluid; it feels very stiff, nothing like that smooth Overwatch feel, not even close to Paladins.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it still needs some tightening up on responsiveness and skill hitbox.”
- “Overall, it's an early access game where the gameplay feels polished, and I would expect it from a fully released game.”

The game's monetization model is currently non-existent, which reviewers feel is a missed opportunity for funding necessary advertising to increase its player base. While players appreciate the lack of predatory practices and the availability of characters through gameplay, they emphasize that effective marketing is crucial for the game's success and visibility. Many believe that with better advertising, the game could attract more players and thrive in the competitive hero shooter market.
- “Still with a 0 monetization model, and such a tight gameplay experience, easy recommend for literally anyone.”
- “Nothing predatory in terms of monetization seems to be going on here either; lots of characters are handed right to you immediately and a couple are locked behind simply playing the game.”
- “Honestly, I kind of wish it had monetization if it meant they'd spend something on advertisement.”
- “Honestly kind of wish it had monetization if it meant they'd spend something on advertisement.”
- “This could all improve in the future, but the devs knew they had no playerbase since they had no advertisement, and still chose to launch without basic stuff like letting you play around in the training area while matchmaking to at least get somewhat familiar with the characters.”
- “Still with 0 monetization model, and such a tight gameplay experience, easy recommend for literally anyone.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the art style, character designs, and overall visual appeal, especially considering its small file size. However, some users note performance issues and a cluttered user interface that can detract from the experience. Overall, while the visuals are often described as beautiful and dynamic, there are concerns about optimization and clarity during gameplay.
- “For a 5 GB game, the graphics look outstanding, along with jiggle physics on elements.”
- “🎨 Incredible character art: stunning visuals showcase the artistic brilliance behind the game.”
- “Graphically, the game looks nice; the characters look charming, and the setting is dynamic enough to keep the maps interesting and allow for creativity in play style.”
- “It's obviously an early access game, as the balance, audio, and visuals are a work in progress.”
- “The game has one of the worst performances I have ever experienced with such mediocre graphics.”
- “UI/visuals can get kind of muddy and confusing at times because a lot of the characters have excessive visuals with their abilities.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting poor performance, frequent FPS drops, and bugs, particularly on high-end setups. While some users have experienced smooth gameplay on medium settings, the consensus is that optimization is a priority for the developers, who have indicated that a patch is forthcoming to address these issues. Overall, while the game shows potential, its current state is hampered by optimization challenges.
- “My only issue is the optimization of this game, but the developers have already shown that fixing the game is a priority, with optimization specifically being the focus of the next patch.”
- “Needs better optimization, but so far the roles all feel fun to play.”
- “The game has one of the worst performances I have ever experienced with such mid graphics.”
- “This game needs an optimization patch ASAP because there is no way this game should perform so badly with so little going on on the screen compared to other games.”
- “The only thing that keeps me away from it is the lack of optimization; the overall performance and FPS drops even when I play on a high-end setup still keep happening.”

Character development in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the character designs as generic and unoriginal, often likening them to AI-generated art. While some appreciate the overall aesthetics and gameplay mechanics, they note that the limited character roster and lack of personality depth hinder the experience. Improvements in voice acting and character balance are also suggested to enhance player engagement and satisfaction.
- “The game and its mechanics are amazing, the graphics are very optimizable, and the character designs are very well made.”
- “Huge fan of the character designs and gameplay.”
- “There are areas to clean up, like some of the character designs, and there is a limited cast of characters, but a lot of the problems can just be fixed very easily over time.”
- “Generic, bland, and boring character designs, horrible English voice acting that you can't even change without also changing the system language, wack character balance, ridiculous visual clutter even in bot games when stuff doesn't happen much; the list goes on.”
- “Character designs are unoriginal and boring.”
- “There are areas to clean up, like some of the character designs (like, why is Eveleen holding random flying pieces of gold in her hands?), and there is a limited cast of characters. I can see some of the characters could have a better showcasing of their personalities through their stances, among other issues I could mention, but a lot of the problems can just be fixed very easily over time, or could easily be fixed with the proper balance patch.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its energetic and engaging quality, enhancing the fast-paced gameplay. However, some players feel that the audio environment lacks depth, as the music often cuts out at key moments, suggesting a need for more immersive sound design. Overall, while the music is a highlight, there is room for improvement in the game's audio experience.
- “This game is frantic and fun; the gameplay scratches an itch that not a lot of PvP games have done for me recently. Give this fast, frenetic game a go; the music really slaps too.”
- “The art, music, graphics, character lore, and concept are great.”
- “The music kicks in at very specific points and then cuts out; honestly, the game could use some more soul in the environment's audio department.”

stability

100%
The game's stability is marred by several bugs and glitches, including issues with character balancing and custom lobbies, which can affect gameplay experience. Players also report high ping for those outside the active Asian server region, contributing to connectivity concerns. Overall, while the game shows promise, it requires significant improvements in stability to enhance user experience.
- “There are a few bugs and glitches that need to be fixed, as well as some balancing between the characters. I would go so far as to say this is better than Overwatch, but all I ask of the developers is to please get some more players into the game from other parts of the world. The ping is high for us players who are not from Asia, as it is the only very active server region.”
- “It's a little visually cluttered, and it's sometimes hard to tell when you are stunned. There are occasionally some silly glitches.”
- “Custom lobbies were a little buggy sometimes, with issues inviting players.”
