The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive and predatory, with players reporting an overwhelming presence of ads and numerous microtransactions. Many feel that essential gameplay elements are locked behind paywalls, and the game heavily encourages spending to avoid constant ad interruptions. While there is a temporary ad-free trial, the overall sentiment is that the monetization model detracts significantly from the gaming experience, making it feel like a cash grab rather than a genuine effort to engage players.
- “Every aspect of this mobile game can be earned through microtransactions.”
- “This one does let you try ad-free for a week, but that will only encourage people to buy it more once the trial expires as now you are used to no ads.”
- “If you want to play, just try for 7 days; they give you a free no-ads benefit.”
- “The layout particularly bothers me, as it's cluttered and bombarded with ads for in-game purchases.”
- “Typical nostalgia bait, it's just a cash grab waiting to end. Played for 30 minutes and got so many offers to spend it's crazy. They charge you more than YouTube Premium to skip ads for a month, and they have like 5 or more game passes and tons of predatory transactions. The purpose of this game is clear: to copy and paste generic strategies for profit.”
- “Frankly, this game is death by a million microtransactions, and most rewards don't feel rewarding.”

- “The game is very hands-off, and most of the gameplay is just clicking a button when your fighters complete a task.”

The story in the game is criticized for being sparse and lacking depth, with players only receiving small snippets every 200 stages, which detracts from the overall experience. Many users express a desire for more engaging narrative content and interactive elements, as the repetitive mission structure and low legendary drop rates contribute to a feeling of stagnation. While some appreciate the graphics and gameplay, the thin storyline leaves much to be desired, making it feel less like an "afk game" and more like a grind.
- “Despite being an 'afk game', I'm very busy trying to navigate to almost every content, back and forth between missions, summoning, upgrading, etc. I feel very involved in the game despite not actively 'fighting'.”
- “Love the graphics, gameplay, and story.”
- “I wish there was more story; I came here to see my favorite characters after all, but you only get tidbits of story every 200 stages.”
- “Story’s thinner than wet tissue; sound’s recycled nostalgia.”
- “Grinding to complete quests becomes repetitive and boring.”
grinding
9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics in the game, describing it as tedious and often feeling pointless due to unbalanced matchmaking and pay-to-win elements. Many feel that progress is slow and unsatisfying, with repetitive tasks and a lack of meaningful rewards, leading to a perception of the game as a mere farming device rather than an engaging experience. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a significant drawback that detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “Turns out just a game where it's pay-to-win, frustrating grinding, progress feels like no progress, start out feeling you have gained only to be matched in unfair lobbies, super buffed opponents, no balance. Suggest finding better games to play.”
- “Grinding to complete quests becomes repetitive and boring.”
- “A player with lower power but a red color fighter team can easily defeat a higher-level player, which makes all the grinding, strategy, and resources feel pointless.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant issues such as overheating devices, FPS drops, and lag, particularly on certain models like the Poco X3 NFC. While a few users praise the game's smooth performance and visual appeal, the overall consensus indicates that it is poorly optimized, leading to a frustrating experience for many.
- “Game is beautifully optimized, the devs are absolutely amazing for that alone and the 7 day ad removal trial is a sweet bonus.”
- “Runs smoothly, is easy to navigate, and visually looks great.”
- “Game runs smoothly; the tutorial is a bit much, but hey, it's new. They do have ads, but after about ten minutes of play, they offer a 7-day free trial for no ads. Nice!”
- “I really really like this game, it's perfectly both AFK and online, and it can be played for hours, but there's a big problem with its software. My phone is a Poco X3 NFC, and this game is not optimized. When I'm playing, I can feel the sun's warmth on my hand, and in-game, I experience 'FPS drops' and 'lag' when watching gameplay or claiming items. I haven't seen any game this harmful for my phone.”
- “Enjoy the IP, enjoy the AFK, but this is not optimized enough if my phone is warming up like it is (it's not old).”
- “Poorly optimized, and summoning drops aren't good, which makes my device overheat. There's not much to do; KOF All Star was just better without a doubt.”
