The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to aggressive in-app purchases and the necessity to watch ads for meaningful rewards. While some appreciate the absence of forced ads and the option to progress without spending money, others criticize the high costs of microtransactions and the slow resource accumulation that often leads to a pay-to-win experience. Overall, players are divided on whether the monetization enhances or detracts from the gameplay experience.
- “Free to play and no ads, what's not to love about this game!”
- “Enjoyed it for a while, and not too aggressive with the in-app purchases (lots of opportunity, just not intrusive).”
- “Game offers in-app purchases in a leisurely way as you don't have to spend money in order to progress or enjoy the game, which I love about the in-app purchases.”
- “Total cash grab.”
- “Initially a cool concept and fun, but in no time at all it becomes an obvious cash grab scenario where you absolutely have to spend real money pretty much constantly if you want any chance of progressing or beating other players.”
- “The monetization system is questionable of course, it's pay-to-win and that is why I will not spend any money on it (I would happily have had the game as a premium title instead) and the game will get old quite fast for me because of that.”

The reviews indicate that the game features significant grinding, particularly after level 6, which many players find tedious and frustrating. While some enjoy the core gameplay and acknowledge that grinding can be manageable, others criticize the slow resource acquisition and the pay-to-win elements that exacerbate the grind. Overall, the consensus is that while the game has potential, the excessive grinding detracts from the enjoyment, especially for free-to-play users.
- “At first glance, it's great. However, after playing for a while, certain aspects become less enjoyable. Playtime is limited by waiting for wagons or pushing through, but you may end up losing due to ratings. The upgrade costs increase rapidly while the income remains the same throughout the game. The good thing is that no grinding is needed; you just wait, wait, and wait.”
- “However, when you get to about level 6, the grind just becomes tedious and strenuous, and the gameplay becomes less strategy and devolves into a giant rock-paper-scissors game.”
- “Grinding does not exist; you lose 3 to 4 times per win, so advancing without purchase is impossible.”
- “The grinding is not worthy; the gold we get from every win is very, very small compared to the price of upgrading units.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for being minimal and primarily serving as a means to grind for PvP cards, leading to a repetitive experience once players reach higher ranks. Many users express a desire for a dedicated story mode with engaging missions and dialogue to enhance gameplay variety and provide a break from competitive elements. While the game is praised for its fun mechanics and graphics, the lack of a substantial narrative leaves players wanting more depth and content.

- “Amusing game, nice graphics and a fair number of units to use, but with auto battles and no story, it quickly becomes repetitive.”
