monetization
1,918 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the heavy reliance on ads and in-app purchases. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game becomes a grind, pushing players towards spending money to progress effectively. Additionally, issues with ad functionality, such as crashes and unresponsive rewards, have further detracted from the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab rather than a balanced free-to-play model.
“Gameplay is super fun, there isn't a need to make in-app purchases, and the upgrade system is pretty great.”
“This is one of the few games that is fun and isn't obnoxious with monetization; while there is monetization, it only appears if you choose to watch the ads for extra loot.”
“I love the fact that in-app purchases are optional and the game is still completely playable and fun without buying anything.”
“Game used to be good, but they recently decided to be extremely shameless about pay-to-win. It's being introduced slowly as you first play the game so you don't see just how many pay-to-win packages there are, but there's essentially 3 battle passes, tons of packs, 2 VIP passes that auto-renew, 2 extra 'quest' passes, 'first' purchase bonuses, you're prompted to watch ads in almost any content you do, and much more.”
“The gameplay is decent but I've never seen progression more ruined by monetization in my life.”
“The game is fun, but when the home page is cluttered with around 20 different flashing buttons for in-game purchases along with watching so many ads... I get bored and annoyed before I even get to play the game.”
