The gameplay is praised for its straightforward mechanics and strategic depth, making it accessible yet engaging for players. Users appreciate the seamless VR experience, variety in tactics, and balanced gameplay, though some note the high price and limited single-player content. Overall, the game is described as fun, easy to learn, and supported by an active development team.
- “Works flawlessly in VR for us and brilliant gameplay, no idea why it hasn't got more attention!”
- “Controls and gameplay are very straightforward, but plenty of variety in tactics on the field.”
- “Super fun game, solid gameplay, very balanced!”
- “The devs should look at those games and try to implement those mechanics where you manipulate the table rather than spin your body around the merry-go-round of nausea.”
- “The end result is that there was a single player in the hours worth of gameplay and that didn't lead to a multiplayer game.”
- “Now for the gameplay, each match consists of 3 rounds, the rounds begin with the option of both factions to build things like spikes and cannons and change their units. After that, the rounds start and you will slowly get points and be able to spawn units; however, you will also have the chance to use a special ability like a huge fireball coming down and crushing the enemy's army. The uses of the ability, however, are limited, just like the units are limited; you can only have, for example, 5 units of the same type in the field at the exact same time.”

- “Graphics first:”
- “(I only ran into one issue, which was frame stuttering. I went back and forth with the graphic options, but wasn't able to smooth it out. Hopefully, this is not something that will persist.)”

The story revolves around escalating tensions in heaven that lead to a tournament where mortals are pitted against each other in battles. Players engage in single-player missions with unique objectives, adding depth and replayability as they strive to achieve three-star ratings for each battle. The narrative serves as a backdrop for both single-player and multiplayer modes, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
- “There are loads of problems up in heaven; it almost escalates to full-out war. But they get an idea: 'Let's do a tournament and let the mortals fight.' That is where it all begins. The single-player battles consist of interesting objectives, like 'win the battle with at least 3 more towers than the enemy.' These objectives add fun and variety to the game, as you can earn 3 stars for every battle, making it enjoyable to strive for perfection in each mission.”

Overall, the game's optimization is praised for its stability and performance on standard setups, with no significant framerate issues reported. However, some users have experienced camera stuttering in VR mode, particularly with unsupported hardware, indicating that while the game performs well generally, there are still some optimization challenges in specific configurations.
- “This game is fantastic! The idea behind it is brilliant. I haven't tried it in VR yet, but don't let that push you away from this game. It's still a brilliant piece of work even when using keyboard and mouse on a normal screen. The gameplay is great, the graphics are cute, and there are no issues with framerate stability or performance. The developers are also fantastic and respond quickly.”
- “The biggest issue I've had in SteamVR mode is camera stuttering, but it may be because I'm using WMR (and it isn't 'supported' yet in the VR support section of this game, although everything works fine besides that).”
- “I only ran into one issue, which was frame stuttering. I went back and forth with the graphic options, but wasn't able to smooth it out. Hopefully, this is not something that will persist.”
