The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on optional ads, which players can watch to gain resources and speed up progression. While some appreciate the lack of forced ads, many feel that the game becomes unplayable without frequently watching ads or making in-app purchases, leading to a grindy experience. The subscription model for ad removal is criticized for being expensive and not fully effective, as players still encounter ads for certain rewards even after subscribing.
“It's cool, no complaints. They don't spam you with ads; well, really there are no ads at all. The only way you watch an ad is if you want an extra reward, and they're only 30 seconds long. The game is a bit slow at first, but it gets more fun and a bit harder as you upgrade.”
“Seriously, no ads unless you want extra items. Good graphics and challenging gameplay.”
“No ads to disturb the game, also allowing AFK earnings.”
“You are essentially forced to spend more time watching ads than playing or spend money; it's nigh impossible to make any more progress playing.”
“The grind is so extreme that you would need hours to play, but in the end this is a game about watching ads.”
“It's impossible to progress without paying or watching tons of ads.”

The reviews highlight that the game is heavily grind-focused, with many players finding the grinding tedious and repetitive, especially after reaching higher levels. While some enjoy the grind as part of the gameplay experience, others feel it becomes excessively slow and often leads to a pay-to-win scenario. Overall, the game offers a mix of fun and frustration, with significant grinding required to progress, which can diminish the sense of accomplishment for players.
“Blows my mind that a game that's based solely on slow grinding to level up your character does not save your progress.”
“The game is enjoyable enough but after a couple of hours, it goes from grindy to basically demanding you pay for the upgrades to defeat enemies.”
“You don't progress and you spend so much time grinding it loses its fun and the rewards for the grind aren't worth the effort.”

“As soon as I reached level 10, the game starts to stutter when you go into that area. It is really annoying; otherwise, it's very addictive, but please fix the stuttering.”
