Overall, the game's monetization approach is seen as exploitative, leading to dissatisfaction among both paying and non-paying players.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and often frustrating, particularly due to resource scarcity and the limitations imposed on free-to-play users. While some appreciate the potential for leveling up through grinding, many feel that the lack of alternative activities and the need for premium purchases to progress effectively detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the grind can feel rewarding for dedicated players, but it often leads to burnout and dissatisfaction, especially for those unwilling to spend money.
- “Game has its moments but you quickly run out of experience potions for heroes and they are tedious to get. They designed the new server event so that you literally cannot get the final reward without being VIP 2, as you cannot buy the packs to get enough points for the final reward. I counted how many points you can get without VIP.”
- “After about 1 day of play, it comes to a grinding halt on what you can do.”
- “Very grindy with little to no reward.”

The game suffers from significant optimization issues, including frequent freezes and long loading times that detract from the overall experience. While it features good graphics and engaging gameplay, players report that the performance is inconsistent, often leading to frustrating delays regardless of connection strength. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, it requires substantial improvements in optimization to enhance playability.
- “The game is fun to get lost in, but it needs some good optimization because I spend way too much time staring at a rendering/loading/buffering symbol more than I actually play the game. Depending on the connection, it can take 5 to 10 seconds, and other times it could be 2 minutes. Outside of that huge enjoyment killer, the game is pretty fun.”
- “Nice graphics, engaging RPG, and interesting stylized combat mode, but it still needs to be improved in terms of optimization and should consume less internet data. Otherwise, it's an amazing game.”
