The gameplay of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying its nostalgic mechanics and addictive nature, while others find it lacking in depth and fun. Many appreciate the graphics and character designs, but some criticize the game for being overly focused on progression with minimal interactive gameplay. Overall, it seems to be a relaxing experience that appeals to fans of retro aesthetics, though it may not satisfy those seeking more engaging gameplay.
“I love this game, the nostalgia and mechanics are interesting.”
“Everything from the visuals to the gameplay is compact and enjoyable.”
“Unexpectedly good for a mobile game, very good graphics, sound effects, and overall good gameplay.”
“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.”
“There is no gameplay here to be seen.”
“Linda pixel art, gameplay razoável, existe sim um foco na estratégia em capítulos maiores.”

Overall, the monetization model of the game is a mixed bag; while many players appreciate the absence of ads and find in-app purchases non-essential for enjoyment, others criticize the presence of expensive microtransactions and label the game as a potential cash grab. Some users suggest that the game could benefit from optional ads for rewards, while others feel that the current model is toxic for the gaming community. Despite these concerns, the lack of ads is frequently highlighted as a positive aspect.
“Surprisingly, there are no ads in this game!”
“The in-app purchases are not necessary to have fun either.”
“Great game so far, only day 5 now so still early, but it does have potential; especially with no ads!!”

“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.”
“Cash grab for developers with a shiny retro vibe to fool people into wasting time and money.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring significant effort to obtain elite heroes and resources. Many express frustration with the inefficiency of leveling markets and the reliance on luck, suggesting that while the game is enjoyable, it demands a considerable amount of grinding typical of AFK arena-style games.
“I only got 2 elite heroes after 100 draws. I might be unlucky... Getting money is tedious: you have to connect multiple times (but not too many because you will not have the pizzas to activate the markets). Leveling markets doesn't seem efficient, and I have not yet been able to upgrade one market.”
“As a new player, there is grinding just like in any other AFK arena type game.”
“Like the game, but it needs a lot of grinding and luck.”

“The story is engaging and keeps you hooked from the start.”
“The character development is impressive, making you truly care about their journeys.”
“The plot twists are unexpected and add depth to the overall narrative.”
“$80 packs to unlock a quest experience thing... you must be joking.”
