monetization

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to the excessive reliance on microtransactions and a frustrating energy system that hampers progression. While some players appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, they often find that these offers are unreliable or yield minimal benefits, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes profit over player experience. Overall, the combination of high in-app purchase costs, frequent advertisements, and slow progression has left many users feeling dissatisfied and exploited.
- “The basis of the game is great, but if you want any chance of doing well, you better be willing to use the in-app purchases.”
- “Personally, I don't mind making in-app purchases, but they're mostly worthless unless you spend a lot of money.”
- “It's a great game, but there is a lot of in-app purchase.”
- “Shameless cash grab.”
- “It's just a cash grab scam.”
- “The only reason why I gave it 1 star is because 9 times out of 10 you literally waste all of whatever money you spend in the game on buying in-app purchases.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and repetitive, often feeling like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience. Many express frustration over the low rewards for their efforts, limited energy capacity, and the reliance on luck for obtaining rare monsters, which can lead to a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction. While some appreciate the grind in theory, the overwhelming amount of time required without significant progress or meaningful rewards has led to a decline in enjoyment for many players.
- “Evolving monsters can be incredibly time-consuming and tedious since you need rare components (other monsters) that even when you do run into them, I almost can never actually catch them.”
- “It feels like you're just grinding; you don't feel like you're making any progress because you have the same creatures the whole time and you're expected to kill 10 of the same creatures over and over. It's so repetitive, it's ridiculous.”
- “The issue is that there is no upgrade to the energy cap for your character, where you would normally start with 20 energy and upgrade to over 50 in most games. This one caps energy at a mere 5 with no upgrades, making grinding and leveling nearly impossible.”
