What players say

77% of 69,523 reviews are positive

Players praise the mix of MOBA combat, battle royale survival, crafting, and varied character builds. The most common complaint is a thin player population outside Asia, especially in North America and Europe, causing long queues, bots, and uneven matches; some players also report disconnects, stuttering, and penalties after server failures.
