The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads but expressing frustration over the heavy reliance on in-app purchases for character improvements and gameplay progression. While some users are willing to pay for a better experience, others feel that the costs are excessive and that the game is designed to push players towards spending money.

“No ads and the gameplay is awesome!”
“Lots of fun and a cool storyline, plus it's all free with no ads.”
“I have had some issues with in-game purchases, but the support team is quick to respond and always takes care of me.”
“I played the 2011 version and fell in love, so this one did improve on a lot, but it is still heavy with the microtransactions.”
“I understand this whole in-app purchase trend, but it sucks.”
“Such an awesome game, until you realize the game pretty much relies on in-game purchases with real money. This is a growing trend and is really ruining the mobile game market for it. I'd much rather spend 6-7 dollars on a full complete game than play this game for 'free'.”
