The gameplay is easy to learn but offers significant depth, making it engaging for players.

- “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.”
