The gameplay is characterized by complex mechanics and high playability, featuring a lane-based autobattler with constant progression and unique cooldown systems instead of traditional mana. While the game offers enjoyable experiences and a variety of units, it suffers from bugs, hidden mechanics, and a pay-to-win model that detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, players can find around 15 hours of free gameplay, though the grind and monetization strategies may deter long-term engagement.
“The game mechanics are quite complex and the playability is very high.”
“It's a lane-based autobattler combined with constant progression mechanics.”
“+ Great mechanics; the cooldown mechanic instead of mana is fantastic, not to mention the plethora of keywords and tons of different units.”
“The game plays okay but there are bugs that cause units to not take current damage or mechanics that don't work right or are bugged.”
“Half of the mechanics of the game are also hidden and not taught to you.”
“There are gameplay bugs as well, typos, and random things that are not translated.”

Players express frustration with the pervasive presence of popup ads and aggressive monetization strategies in free-to-play games, advocating for a one-time purchase model that eliminates pay-to-win elements and focuses solely on cosmetic items. Many users are willing to pay a reasonable price for a fair gaming experience without intrusive monetization tactics.
“The first developer to make this game for a set base price with zero monetization will be a very wealthy individual.”
“I'm not going to mention the tons of popup ads that suggest you the best deal to buy now nonsense that exists in every single free-to-play game.”
“Someone please make this game for a set price with zero pay-to-win and only cosmetic in-game purchases!”
“I would happily pay $20 for this game, stream it, and help promote it if it was fair and they didn't force monetization down players' throats.”

The humor in the game is noted for its cleverness, particularly in situations that highlight the absurdity of in-game purchases, such as the rapid appearance of exclusive packs after a player has just paid for one.
“It's funny for now, but just so you know, as soon as he paid his $5 for that super limited exclusive pack, another one instantly popped up.”
