Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of experiences, with some players finding the mechanics engaging and innovative, particularly praising the combination of arena play and deck-building elements. However, many express concerns about the lack of balance and cohesion between hero and summoning gameplay, leading to a disjointed experience.

- “Gameplay is boring, balance is wack, visuals look straight out of a Unity store pack, card packs earned at 2x the rate but would take 40 games normally to earn one, no 1v1 so better hope your teammate doesn't run it down mid, audio is broken, just a mess that's not worth your time.”
