The main drawbacks are stability and compatibility: frequent crashes, login/startup issues, and UI/rotation glitches on newer iPhones/iPads, plus overheating. Some players report mixed onboarding and moderation concerns like bullying and scams. Overall, the game’s cooperative play, active mods, and strong community remain its core appeal, but performance and onboarding friction limit accessibility for new and casual players.
