Players note that grinding becomes more prominent in the late game, requiring repeated level replays to accumulate money for items and achievements, as well as to enhance their wild card deck.

The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on in-app purchases, particularly for wild cards, and it appears to be a direct port from its mobile/tablet version without adjustments for the Steam platform, leading to a perception of being overly focused on monetization.
“Hmm... this might be one of those games that started as a phone/tablet game with in-app purchases, and they want you to buy more wild cards.”
“I've seen one that is blatantly skewed towards in-app purchases, and they didn't change it for Steam.”
