The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ads, with players reporting frequent interruptions during gameplay, including unskippable video ads and forced redirects to external websites. Many users feel that the overwhelming number of ads detracts significantly from the overall experience, making the game nearly unplayable and not worth the effort to progress. Despite some enjoyment of the game itself, the consensus is that the monetization approach needs substantial improvement to enhance player satisfaction.
“There are no ads, which makes for a seamless gaming experience.”
“The monetization model is fair and doesn't disrupt gameplay.”
“I appreciate that the game offers optional purchases without forcing them on players.”
“When I level up, an ad plays to a point, then goes to a black screen and I am forced to close and reopen, and that is more annoying than the ads themselves.”
“Absolutely trash game, literally restarts you back at level 1 no matter how high you make it in the game. Make one mistake and back to square 1. I was at level 49, then poof. Also, this game has way too many ads; you get an ad every time you level up.”
“The ads at every level have made it unplayable.”
