Steam reviews

What players say

Reviews from the last year are mixed: players enjoy the fast, addictive auto-battler loop, but many feel balance, bots and pay-to-win elements spoil it.

Many players enjoy the quick rounds and the wide range of hero builds, and say the loop is addictive, especially when luck and choices pay off. Some like the drafting and the comeback mechanics. Complaints focus on balance: a few builds and heroes are seen as nearly impossible to counter, and players report that a paid hero and paid rerolls give buyers an edge. Many players say matches feel like they are against bots, and some report a thin player base. Art and voice lines are often called poor, and some reviewers suspect reused assets. Several reviewers say the game was fun for a while but offers little progression. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, and Steam's overall totals are much more positive.

Praised

  • Addictive round loop

    Players find the fast drafting and fight rounds engaging and easy to pick up, with short sessions that are hard to stop.

    Many players
  • Many viable builds

    Players enjoy testing combinations of talents, artifacts and hero skills, and find many builds that can win.

    Some players
  • Free to play

    Reviewers value that the game costs nothing, making it a low-risk way to try an auto-battler.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Balance problems

    Players say some heroes and skill combinations are nearly impossible to counter, while other options are weak.

    Many players
  • Pay to win

    Reviewers say paid rerolls and locked heroes give paying players an advantage and make progress feel slow for others.

    Many players
  • Bots instead of players

    Reviewers feel matches are filled with bots, which makes ranked play feel empty and unsatisfying.

    Many players
  • Weak art and sound

    Players call the graphics, models and AI-generated voice lines poor, and some suspect reused or purchased assets.

    Many players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy auto-battlers and do not mind rough presentation and an unbalanced meta.
Who should skip it
Players who want fair matches against humans, polished visuals, or a game that does not push paid advantages.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more than 20 hours are more likely to complain about pay-to-win, repetitive progression and bots, while newer players more often praise the fast rounds and learning curve.
