The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their stunning visuals, intricate art style, and attention to detail, making it visually appealing, especially for fans of the Warhammer universe. However, some players expressed disappointment with the lack of combat animations and occasional graphical bugs, suggesting that while the aesthetics are impressive, the gameplay mechanics could benefit from further development. Overall, the graphics are considered one of the game's strongest aspects, contributing significantly to the overall experience.
“The art style is gorgeous, the mini animations of various structures in the player's base (forge, mills, etc.) are intricate and well done.”
“Phenomenal graphics and artwork as I would have expected from Games Workshop.”
“A visually beautiful game, high quality artwork and a fantastical take on the base builder format.”
“Only wish there were better visuals for battles, because there are none other than your warlord/champion walking up to a mob and swinging at it once.”
“Graphics are subpar, splash art for monsters and armies are lazy.”
“The game is crashing non-stop since the update, chat box function hardly works with pop-up keyboard, keeps collapsing keyboard before you can type, no graphics in battles which is really disappointing for such a visually rich genre.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its graphics and fun mechanics, while others criticize it for being a repetitive, pay-to-win experience with minimal strategic depth. Some users appreciate the engaging events and smooth controls, but express frustration over balance issues and a lack of meaningful gameplay beyond basic resource management and button tapping. Overall, while the game has potential and a dedicated fanbase, it is often seen as a generic mobile title that fails to innovate within its genre.
“The gameplay is brilliant and has many different working parts that work together flawlessly.”
“Gameplay is fun, building up your base and getting new units, but ultimately a frustration to spend actual days waiting for high tier units to build, only to have them killed overnight by a player who dumps coin in and auto-wins.”
“Great graphics, gameplay, and a responsive admin staff.”
“There is no gameplay beyond tapping buttons to upgrade or attack things.”
“The gameplay is nothing to do with Warhammer, just the same mobile game rubbish in a different skin.”
“Absolutely terrible, cut and paste gameplay seen a million times before.”

The monetization model of the game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive and heavily reliant on microtransactions, with many players feeling it resembles a cash grab rather than a balanced gaming experience. While some users acknowledge that it is possible to play without spending money, the pressure to purchase in-game items and the prevalence of ads for expensive bundles create a frustrating environment, particularly for those who do not wish to engage in pay-to-win mechanics. Overall, the monetization strategy has detracted from the enjoyment of the game for many players, leading to disappointment and frustration.
“This game has a pretty good concept and a monetization model that's about what you expect.”
“Yes, it has in-game purchases, but you really don't need to buy them since you can win just by grinding a little, and the grinding becomes easier if you join an alliance.”
“The microtransactions are not over the top and give a great deal.”
“The major issue that I have is how aggressively the monetization is pushed on the players.”
“This isn't a game, this is an app designed to take all of your money and provide you with nothing, and everyone involved doesn't care enough about the work and it shows, terrible balance, borderline illegal monetization, and unchecked whales are allowed to curb stomp newer players into uninstalling.”
“A shameless cash grab game with a poorly pasted on theme designed to make you spend as much money as possible in order to play, unless you're happy waiting weeks for things to build.”

“Love the storyline too.”
“The voice acting is awesome and awesome story.”

The game is widely described as highly grindy, requiring significant time investment for upgrades and resources, which can become tedious, especially for players unwilling to spend on in-game purchases.

Overall, the grinding aspect is a defining feature, with mixed feelings about its impact on gameplay experience.
“Game is fun, decently forgiving, but very grindy.”
“Mostly a fun experience, until you realize that anyone with a wallet can erase a week's worth of grinding in an instant.”
“Game is designed with mechanics that make things tedious in order to incentivize you to hand over money.”
