The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many users labeling it a "cash grab" due to the overwhelming presence of microtransactions and high prices for in-game purchases. Players report frequent issues with ads, including crashes and failures to register rewards, leading to frustration and a perception that the game heavily favors those willing to spend money. While some acknowledge that ads are optional, the overall sentiment suggests that the game is designed to push players towards spending money to progress effectively, making it feel exploitative.
- “Just about every developer reply to reviews of this game stresses that 'in-game purchases are optional', and they often are in a game of this type.”
- “In-game purchases in our game are optional since all players have an opportunity to earn premium currency without spending real currency by completing daily activities or participating in in-game events.”
- “It's a fun game and microtransactions don't feel needed to get somewhere in this game as production is smooth and you're constantly rewarded for fights and chests you can get for free.”
- “It's a blatant cash grab just like hustle castle.”
- “The game started ok, but upgrading anything takes far too long, have to be logged in to the game for training to continue, far too many ads, and to have that as part of a daily mission, have to watch 5 or 6 ads.”
- “Basically, it's an interactive screensaver that really wants you to spend money and watch ads all the time.”

The gameplay of the game is generally enjoyable and features engaging mechanics, particularly for fans of the "American Dad" series, with a humorous storyline and solid graphics. However, many users express frustration with the steep learning curve, repetitive nature, and heavy reliance on pay-to-win mechanics, which can hinder progression and make the experience feel grindy. While some appreciate the fun and addictive elements, the overwhelming presence of microtransactions and the game's similarity to titles like "Fallout Shelter" and "Hustle Castle" lead to mixed reviews regarding its overall gameplay experience.
- “The gameplay is fun and there's a lot to do, especially in the beginning your 'shelter' (house) grows fast and steady and the mechanics are presented at a nice pace.”
- “Gameplay is awesome and very time consuming.”
- “I love the gameplay; it's really fun and I am a huge fan of the show. The fact that the main premise of the game is to make clones, which are Roger's personas, is genius. I definitely recommend it to anyone.”
- “Eventually you hit the paywall and gameplay slows unless you pay.”
- “Gameplay is boring and very repetitive.”
- “The game forces microtransactions on you, and uses game mechanics to sell you a 'character' that collects your resources, because the game can't store your resources directly in the storage room without you 'tapping the icon'.”

grinding
