    • “No ads.”
    • “Ads break and permanently lock the game into a loading screen, forcing you to uninstall the game and lose all your progress and purchases.”

  • gameplay6 mentions

    The gameplay is easy to learn but offers significant depth, making it engaging for players. However, the ad-to-gameplay ratio is criticized, as players often feel incentivized to watch ads for better rewards.

    • “Even though it's easy to learn, there is more depth to the gameplay than first appears.”

    • “Great for quick gameplay.”
    • “Play to watch ads ratio is way off; 15 seconds of gameplay and 30 seconds for each ad. This wouldn't be bad, but would you rather get 10k for your win or 40k if you watch an ad?”
    • “Stupid game. Those specific hero-like mechanics, such as medic, sniper, and bot, need to recharge to purchase with cash and diamonds, while only common heroes like shooter and summon types just need gold coins.”
