The reviews highlight a significant issue with grinding in the game, with many players finding it excessively tedious and time-consuming, particularly in resource gathering and city building.

- “Needlessly grindy, zero protection from getting attacked by higher levels, actually encourages you to attack lower-leveled players, insanely small ability to heal, and you will be told over and over to put money into this pay-to-win scam.”

The atmosphere of the game is praised for its beauty and design, which enhances player investment. While it draws favorable comparisons to a similar PC game, there are suggestions for improvement in troop building mechanics to enhance gameplay pacing and excitement. Overall, the atmosphere contributes positively to the gaming experience.
- “Just the kind of atmosphere, design, and beauty of it makes me feel invested.”
- “The atmosphere of the game is reminiscent of the PC game of a similar name, which is great.

The ability to recruit different types of troops from various buildings is fantastic, and increasing the construction spots could enhance the early game and add excitement in the mid and late game.”
- “The atmosphere of the game almost but not fully resembles the PC game of the almost same name. While it's great, there could be improvements in the construction spots for troop buildings, allowing us to place more than one building for each type of troop.
