The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads, particularly after initial gameplay. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game increasingly pushes players towards mandatory ads or microtransactions to progress, leading to a grindy experience. Additionally, issues with ad functionality, such as freezing or failing to provide promised rewards, have further soured the experience for many users.
- “I did buy a package which came with no ads.”
- “I like this game not just because of we are aline we do quest and we can upgrade ourselves and it is not wifi or data game and no ads i hope every one love it too 👍👍👍😄”
- “There are no ads, and microtransactions aren't in your face.”
- “Was good until..... was really enjoying this game and then I hit level 10, now 75% of the ads I hit, which you use to get in-game currency, freeze the game when you get out of the ad and don't give the rewards, though I assume the devs still get the ad revenue from the click.”
- “I just had my 'oh.' moment and the game is just a cynical cash grab to me.”
- “The forced ads have ruined this game. I have had it for quite a long time and the money-hungry structure that it now has makes the game almost unplayable. I have spent money on it when it was a decent game, but now I have no interest in playing it and will probably uninstall. I highly recommend looking at other options.”

- “It's such a shame that the missions are so tediously difficult with many microtransactions involved.”
