- “Ads don't feel intrusive, progression is smooth, and the gameplay loop is addictive.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over intrusive ads and technical issues that hinder gameplay, such as crashes when attempting to watch ads for rewards. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for extra rewards and find the game generally free-to-play friendly, others criticize the heavy reliance on ads and high costs for in-game purchases, labeling it a cash grab. Overall, the monetization strategy appears to detract from the gaming experience for a significant portion of the player base.
- “Your game sucks, it always crashes every time I watch an ad for rewards. Even after restarting the game and watching another ad, it still crashes.”
- “It has some potential to be decent, I guess, but the monetization is horrible (40$ for a 10 summon), ads galore.”
- “Honestly, this is nothing new compared to other games like Archero or Order Zero. The game makes you watch so many ads just for rewards, and to reach the endgame, you need to gacha for actual characters and equipment. You have to play for 21 days just to get 1 new character, so in conclusion, just play Archero or Order Zero; those other games are worth much more.”
