The game's story aspect has received significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the lack of engaging narrative content and the requirement to complete ranked PvP matches to unlock story missions. Users feel that the storyline is minimal and often uninteresting, leading to a repetitive and grind-heavy experience that detracts from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the consensus is that the game prioritizes PvP over a compelling single-player story, leaving many players disappointed and seeking more traditional RPG elements.
- “Graphics are well done, the storyline looks good from what I've unlocked so far, and battle mechanics are well done mostly.”
- “I really like this game like the previous Summoners War, it's just that it is lacking when it comes to the story of the game and also I miss those things that you can hunt monsters through dungeons as well as runes...this is more on PvP. Hope you can add more twist to the content, as of now I enjoy the game and hope the developer will be more active on creating events and new monsters.”
- “I love it just as much and look forward to the storyline and challenges ahead.”
- “The fact that you have to play multiplayer ranked matches to unlock story missions is ridiculous. I just want to play the story; I don't want to sit there playing ranked multiplayer matches to earn a certain rank to unlock story missions. This really makes me not want to play this game.”
- “Boring, repetitive grinding, forced PvP, and a lame story with no real adventure or way to use your monsters for anything fun.”
- “The game is pretty good, but this game is missing the storyline. There are no storylines in this game, and this makes the game get easily boring over time.”

The game's stability is severely compromised, with users reporting frequent freezes, lags, and crashes during gameplay, particularly in battles and matchmaking.

Despite its potential and enjoyable mechanics, the persistent technical problems hinder the overall experience, prompting calls for urgent fixes from the developers.
- “I like it so far; it looks and runs great on my phone. You get a lot of free gems for pulls, and recently even more so with login events. I have a pretty good selection now, and I've hardly spent any money. Prices do seem to be a bit over the top in the shop, but there are offers that don't seem as bad.”
- “The game looks great and runs smoothly, providing a stable experience overall.”
- “Great game with many new features and mechanics, but sadly there have been persistent lags recently, causing me to lose barrier challenges. I can't make proper counter plays, and sometimes it freezes, allowing the enemy to make moves while I just watch. This really ruins the whole match. I hope you do something about it fast, as this game's rating dropped from 4.3 to 3.7 in a week.”
- “I don't think I've ever been more frustrated with a game. I've lost so many easy matches because this game freezes during a battle, rendering me unable to use any ability while the match continues to play on. I've tried three different devices, and it's all the same.”
- “Game freezes during battle and lets opponents win, destroying any advancement you gained. You will just watch as you lose the battle because your controls are locked up by the game, and you will not get the rewards either.”

- “The game is incredibly grindy if you don't spend any money.”
- “Boring, grindy, unbalanced, and did I mention boring... if you don't get mostly epics and legendary cards you basically just sit because it's impossible to win against some legendary cards without one's of your own.”
