The monetization model of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and the requirement to purchase premium features to access basic gameplay elements. Users report that nearly every action, such as placing units or accessing certain features, is gated behind ad views or a premium subscription, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some acknowledge the game's potential and fun aspects, the monetization strategy significantly detracts from the overall experience.
- “It also has no ads, only if you want to use premium features for a while.”
- “It runs smoothly and does not crash my phone, plus there are no ads.”
- “This game seemed so good until I actually played it. I have to pay for VIP in order to place down units or watch an ad for every single person I try to place down. It's a good game if you want to waste your time on ads and waste money.”
- “It's one thing to have a 30-second ad after battling, but it's another to watch an unskippable 1-minute ad just to place one person. I'm not spending $200 for premium. This is literally a cash grab.”
- “Terrible cash grab. The game looks okay on the outside, but even spawning troops requires you to watch an ad or buy premium.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed feedback from users, with many praising their quality and detail, particularly in character design and animations. However, a significant number of players report issues with lag and low frame rates, even on the lowest settings, which detracts from the overall experience. Optimization remains a common request, as players seek smoother gameplay without sacrificing visual fidelity.
- “The graphics, the maps, etc.. they're all amazing!”
- “I love how smart the NPCs are and the graphics are very good .”
- “This game is lovely, the graphics, the animations, the ragdoll is just terrific!”
- “The game is good, I love the AI and interactable maps, but the reason I gave it 2 stars is that even on the lowest graphics, I still experience lag that is as bad as McDonald's Wi-Fi. There should be a render distance option to minimize loading other parts and details of the map so it can run smoothly.”
- “It's too laggy when I try to set the graphics to very low, but it still lags and then kicks me out of the game. Can you please fix this? This is the best game I can find.”
- “The graphics are as low as they can be, and the game is overall pretty good, but it lags way too much when anything in the graphics area is changed.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a significant concern among users, with many reporting low frame rates, especially during large-scale battles and on mobile devices. While some updates have improved performance, issues such as lag, high polycounts, and specific map-related FPS drops persist, indicating that further optimization is necessary for a smoother experience. Users express a desire for better performance adjustments, particularly for lower-end devices, to fully enjoy the game's potential.
- “Great performance, good mechanics, and a solid sandbox with many characters and good maps.”
- “The game now works and performs a lot better, with great options for optimization. There is still a lot of potential, but overall it's a very awesome game. Good job!”
- “PC version is much better than this and is very well optimized for low-end PCs.”
- “After the optimization, it did get less FPS drops, but it still needs some fixing with the maps. If I look at a certain place on a map, it drains my FPS to like 5 or 8. Please fix those issues; if it gets much more optimized, I'll consider 5 stars.”
- “So much lag even on an 8GB RAM phone. It's a mid-range phone, and there are also no good controls and customization options. The optimization is lacking.”
- “Badly optimized; I barely get like 15 FPS because of the huge maps.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics, diverse maps, and character options, making it a standout in mobile gaming. However, many users report significant lag and performance issues, even on lower settings, suggesting the need for optimizations like adjustable render distance. Despite these concerns, players appreciate the overall fun and immersive experience the game offers.
- “Great, good performance, good mechanics, and a good sandbox with many characters and good maps.”
- “This game is good, the ads are a problem but overall the gameplay is great!”
- “Amazing game! It has good graphics, good game mechanics, and it's not that laggy.”
- “Just sell it for $2.99 instead of pretending there's any meaningful gameplay to be had without premium.”
- “This game is good and fun, I wish I had a high-end phone because the gameplay is so laggy.”
- “Best game ever, lots of scenarios to be made and the only game that has this type of gameplay in mobile history. The problem is you should add render distance configuration so when people look at certain places it won't lag, as I've seen the reviews include specifically lag and FPS issues.”
