The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the visual style and artistic design, particularly in relation to its Warhammer roots. However, many users express dissatisfaction with the overall quality, citing issues such as pixelation, lag, and a lack of optimization, particularly on lower-end devices. Several reviewers also request the addition of graphics settings to improve performance and visual clarity.
“The graphics and sound effects are awesome.”
“Visually it's brilliant though, kudos on the graphics.”

“I'm also not a fan of the graphics style.”
“Needs more optimization; graphics could be smoother, also lag is a pain.”
“Good auto battler, only three stars because the graphics are beyond subpar, pixelated and grainy, no detail on characters. My high-end phone is wasted on this game; give me some high-end graphics and I will change to 5 stars.”

The stability of the game is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues that disrupt gameplay.

“I've collected all the shards needed and have completed everything you offer despite the ridiculous glitches in the game.”
“There is one type of game a lack of content and the game is very buggy, often just closing the app mid-game with no way to reconnect (very frustrating when games can take a half hour a piece) or having invisible people on the board.”
“Edit: after playing for some time, it appears that the game is poorly balanced, pretty buggy, and not frequently updated while it needs much work.”

“I wanted to like it, but the game is not optimized well.”
“The game suffers from significant performance issues that detract from the overall experience.”

Players find humor in unexpected game scenarios, such as a match where a player seemingly duplicated, leading to amusing and unpredictable moments during gameplay.
“I don't know if there is already a mod out there, but I just fought in a ranked match that was supposedly a 4-player game, which turned into a 3-player match. The funny thing is that one person actually 'duplicated'.”
