Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed, with long-time players loyal but many warning that progression is grindy and spending matters for competitive play.

Many players enjoy collecting and building teams of monsters, with strategic depth in turn-based battles and rune combinations, and say the game suits background play and casual idling. Long-time players praise the years of updates, collaborations and generous events. Many complaints centre on the grind for runes and monsters, low rates for the strongest 5-star units, and a steep gap between veterans and newcomers that makes competitive PvP hard to reach without spending. Some reviewers call the game pay-to-win and say violent runes and balance patches disappoint. Several recent reviews are short or about technical problems such as login failures, crashes and account security, and some are negative about account issues and customer support. Steam's totals are more positive than the most helpful reviews.

Praised

  • Team building and strategy

    Players enjoy collecting hundreds of monsters and finding effective team and rune combinations in turn-based battles.

    Many players
  • Long-running updates and events

    Long-time players value the steady stream of updates, collaborations and anniversary events that give free rewards.

    Many players
  • Fits background and casual play

    Players say the game works well as something to run in the background or play casually and idle through.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Grindy progression

    Players describe farming runes and monsters for hours with little reward and a steep time investment.

    Many players
  • Low rates and luck

    Reviewers say the chances to summon the strongest 5-star units are very low, and that luck decides too much.

    Many players
  • Pay-to-win and catch-up gap

    Players warn that veterans and paying players far outpace newcomers, making competitive PvP very hard without spending.

    Many players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy collecting monsters and long-term team building, and who can accept a slow, grindy pace or play mainly PvE.
Who should skip it
Should be skipped by players who want quick progression or competitive PvP without spending money, and by anyone put off by heavy monetisation.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours often complain about technical problems and login issues, while those with hundreds of hours focus on the late-game grind, rune balance and the gap to top players.
