The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable and accessible, featuring smooth mechanics and a visually appealing art style. However, many players note that it lacks depth, with much of the action being automated and minimal player interaction required. While the game offers a satisfying progression system and daily missions, some users express frustration with the grind and slow progression, leading to mixed feelings about its long-term engagement.
“The gameplay is smooth and you have tons of missions to perform every day for great rewards and achievements that will give you more rewards and unlock new stuff for you.”
“Gameplay is really fun, but this fun lasts for 2 months.”
“Beautiful pixel art, smooth gameplay, fluid animations, a good game overall.”
“During gameplay, everything is automatic, from choosing your target to activating ultimates.”
“Gameplay is non-existent with no actual 'tapping' at all, so I'm not even sure why it is called Tap Force.”
“For a game that doesn't have any gameplay and is solely focused around progression, it's a bit weird to get time/resource-gated out of progression so fast.”

“Great idle RPG, amazing soundtrack would recommend 100 times over.”

The monetization model of the game is a mixed bag; while it features no ads and allows for enjoyable gameplay without mandatory spending, many players criticize the high cost of in-app purchases, labeling it a cash grab. Some users appreciate the availability of freebies and the option to progress without spending, but others express frustration over the steep prices for microtransactions, suggesting that the game could benefit from a more balanced approach to monetization. Overall, the absence of ads is a positive aspect, but the expensive in-game purchases have raised concerns among players.
“Surprisingly, there are no ads in this game!”
“The in-app purchases are not necessary to have fun either.”
“No ads, fun gameplay, can enjoy everything without spending any, and great value for purchase if you decide to.”
“Unable to recover my account and as a result have lost hundreds of dollars worth of in-game purchases.”
“Great graphics and feel but the game is just a massive cash grab... you get about 30 minutes of game time before you hit the wall, then the only way to level up is to pay or come back every day to get enough coins for about 3 levels... after doing the math, if you want to finish all the levels without paying it will take you almost 2 whole lifetimes.”
“Fun game, I'll change my review once you change to a more realistic and affordable game monetization model... because this kind of trend among Android game developers is toxic for all in the long run.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unfulfilling, especially as they progress past level 30, where the pace significantly slows down. Many reviews highlight the frustration of encountering paywalls and the inefficiency of grinding for resources, making it feel unrewarding, particularly for free-to-play users. While some players enjoy the grind initially, the overall sentiment leans towards it being a necessary but unenjoyable part of the experience.
“Incredibly tedious and unfun just repeating the same motions over and over for 30+ minutes.”
“That being said, once you hit player level 30+, the game slows to a grinding halt.”
“Additional side rewards are locked behind VIP levels, making it very free-to-play unfriendly as grinding becomes stale and slow.”

“It is fun; the story is good.”
“Nice little time killer; I wish the devs would add an option to keep going through the storyline without having to click every time, just let it go.”
“Super pay to win; I might even say pay to play at how hard it gets to progress really quickly. I've been playing for quite a while now, logging in daily, and it feels impossible to progress anymore even after doing all the quests and collecting all the rewards possible.”
“Nice little time killer, but I wish the developers would add an option to keep going through the storyline without having to click every time; just let it play out.”
