The gameplay of the game is generally described as fun and addictive, with engaging mechanics and appealing graphics. However, many users report significant issues such as frequent glitches, crashes, and a frustrating pay-to-win model that hampers progression for free-to-play players.

- “Gameplay is addictive with an expansive roster that makes you want to grind for all the best characters.”
- “However, the game is frequently glitchy, technical support is basically non-existent, and finding answers to even basic gameplay questions is impossible. Not only that, but the features constantly change or are added and removed with no way of knowing or an explanation. The game format is great, but the technical aspects make this a horrible app, and I do not recommend this game to anyone.”

The monetization strategy of this game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with players reporting excessive in-game purchases, high prices for microtransactions, and an overwhelming presence of ads.

- “This game is everything that is wrong with mobile games; it's a huge cash grab full of convoluted events and loot systems to trick you into spending thousands of dollars on a game that could have been made on the Sega Genesis.”

- “The game developers have made it increasingly difficult for people that can't afford to shell out hundreds of dollars for in-app purchases.”
