Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this free autobattler, praising its build variety and depth, while criticising monetisation, server problems and a steep learning curve.

Most players enjoy the build variety: leaders and relics change each game, and banning items keeps matches fresh. Many praise the core loop as addictive and polished for a free game, and several describe it as a worthy successor to Dota Underlords. Players also like the humour, though some find the jokes cringey, and the art style is divisive. The main complaints are the monetisation: some players call the prices high and say some leaders are locked behind the battle pass or a grind, while others consider the store fair and cosmetic-focused. Many report lag, long queues and regional problems, and some newcomers find the early information overwhelming. Recent reviews more often mention connection issues and balance problems, while older helpful reviews focus more on the gameplay itself.

Praised

  • Build variety and depth

    Leaders, relics and item combinations make each match feel different, with room to learn new strategies over time.

    Many players
  • Addictive, polished gameplay loop

    Players describe short matches and a strong just-one-more-game pull, with good quality-of-life features like replays and build testing.

    Many players
  • Free to play with fair cosmetic monetisation

    Reviewers say the battle pass and shop mainly sell cosmetics and that free rewards are generous enough to play without paying.

    Some players
  • Humour and memes

    The jokes, voice lines and character designs are a major draw for many, though others find them too cringey.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Monetisation and locked leaders

    Players find prices high and say certain leaders are locked behind the battle pass or a long grind, limiting strategies.

    Many players
  • Server lag and connection problems

    Players report disconnects, lag and long queues, especially in some regions, and this problem appears more in recent reviews.

    Some players
  • Steep learning curve

    New players find the amount of information and combinations overwhelming, and the early tutorial is seen as too long or too cringey.

    Some players
  • Repetitive and balance issues

    Players say matches become repetitive as everyone converges on the same combos and a few leaders dominate.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits fans of autobattlers and Dota Underlords who want a free, deep game with a lot of build variety.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you dislike autobattlers, dislike the meme-heavy humour, or are put off by locked leaders and a grind-heavy free-to-play model.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mainly praise the balance and depth, while newer players more often raise the learning curve and the early tutorial.
