The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing it for being overly simplistic, repetitive, and heavily reliant on pay-to-win mechanics.

- “I really enjoy the gameplay.”
- “The combo system is creative, and something new and fun for the genre, which sees many same ol same old mechanics.”

- “But in terms of actual gameplay, you aren't doing anything.”
- “It's just a bunch of cluttered screens and boring idle tapping gameplay.”

The monetization in this game has been widely criticized as aggressive and predatory, with many players labeling it a blatant cash grab. While some users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads and the ability to progress without spending, the overwhelming presence of high-priced microtransactions and paywalls has left a negative impression, leading to disappointment among fans of the franchise. Overall, the game's monetization practices are seen as a significant detractor from the overall experience.

- “There is monetization, but you can go quite far without spending anything.”
- “Very fun, so far the microtransactions aren't egregious.”

- “It's just another cash grab, poorly handled IP that could have been great.”

The game's story has been widely criticized for being lackluster and unengaging, with many players finding it boring and formulaic.

- “I love the Street Fighter lore, the storylines, and characters... all my kind of joyous, cheezball action.”
- “The game is very generous with events and login bonuses, the character selection is huge, the summoning is fun, the story is engaging, and the game modes are very rewarding.”
- “Story is fun, climbing the towers and overcoming the challenges are exhilarating and getting high-tier characters from either upgrading or rolling is an exciting feeling.”
- “However, there wasn't much of a story, and it was kind of boring after the first week.”
- “The gameplay is quite compelling, and requires you to use your brain, but this game has no story to speak of (at least not a good one).”
- “Story is lackluster; if you don't spend money, you hit a very real progression wall about 5 or 6 chapters into the story.”

grinding

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and unfulfilling, with many players expressing frustration over low character pull rates and the inability to repeat stages for resources. While some enjoy the initial gameplay and the user interface, the overall sentiment leans towards the grind being excessive, often leading to a pay-to-win scenario that detracts from the experience. Players report feeling stuck and unmotivated to continue due to the lack of meaningful rewards for their efforts.
- “What I love the most is that the UI is easy to pick up, and the learning process is not tedious like many in this genre.”
- “Tedious, play forever and you may never get the characters you want. One of the characters I did not get was Michelangelo the turtle. I didn't get any of the turtles no matter how many tickets I turned in; all it gave me was upgrading material. Waste of time, and the characters are all arranged badly.”
- “Grinding to get tickets to pull characters that have a horrendous pull rate is just habitual.”
- “Meh, was fun at first, but then just constantly being walled. Can't even repeat things to get resources. Pay-to-win in the end, so not worth the trouble in even grinding when you can't even do that just to get demolished by a pay-to-win player. Very poor execution and money-grabbing game.”

The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while many players praise its smooth performance, great graphics, and engaging gameplay, others highlight significant flaws such as mis-translated skills, aggressive monetization tactics, and a lack of compensation for initial issues. Overall, the experience varies widely among users, with some enjoying the seamless operation and others frustrated by the game's monetization and balance problems.
- “Great game that has all of the RPG MMORPG and auto-play experience. Couldn't ask for more with this one. Build your team and elemental groups of mass power and performance. Easy to understand and tutorial guidance!”
- “The game runs smoothly.”
- “Fun, runs smoothly on my device, rewards are fair, gameplay is simple yet engaging.”
- “The game has many flaws with the first event after launch, going paid only for the very first banner is a greedy move. The game had mis-translated skills which made one character perform lower than everyone initially thought, and no compensation was given or reset for the materials used. The game spams you with top-up purchases, and a few purchases are the same items but have different saving values (100% vs 170% for the same items). This is not a good experience.”
- “The optimization in this game is severely lacking, leading to frustrating gameplay. The performance issues make it difficult to enjoy the experience fully.”
- “There are significant optimization problems that hinder the overall enjoyment of the game. It feels like the developers rushed the launch without addressing critical performance issues.”
