The game lacks a significant story, focusing instead on quick, fast-paced missions that last 2-4 minutes each. While the gameplay is accessible, the mission selection process is cumbersome and could benefit from improved navigation options. Overall, players may find the experience enjoyable for short bursts, but it does not offer a compelling narrative.
- “The game has no story.”
- “At best, I could only give it an extremely hesitant 'try it for a few missions and see how you like it.'”
- “The main map from which you select missions feels a little clunky.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, requiring significant time investment. The lack of a minimap and issues with the windowed mode further complicate unit movement, making the grinding experience feel frustrating and cumbersome.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Beyond being tedious, the bottom of the screen is cut off when playing windowed, meaning playing windowed kind of breaks the game.”
- “This is all exacerbated by there not being a minimap, meaning you must move the camera to move units, which makes moving units across the map kind of tedious.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as excessively focused on cash grabs, with numerous microtransactions that lead to a "pay-to-win" model, detracting from the overall experience of what is marketed as a "free-to-play" game.
- “It's too much of a cash grab; it's a microtransaction-to-death game, as far too many 'free-to-play' games turn out to be 'pay-to-win'.”
