The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the presence of in-app purchases despite the game being a premium title. While some appreciate the absence of ads and find the gameplay enjoyable, others criticize the high cost of additional content and features, feeling that it detracts from the overall experience and resembles a cash grab. Overall, players desire more unlockable content through gameplay rather than relying solely on expensive in-app purchases.
“Is actually pretty fun, the only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 stars is that even though it's a premium game, it still includes in-app purchases.”
“I would be better if you could unlock content by reaching higher ranks, not just by in-app purchases (which are expensive compared to the app price).”
“Fun - in-app purchases are pricey.”
“This game is a big money grab; after buying the app, there are 8 add-ons via in-app purchases which add small features. Bundled at a 40% discount, they still cost around $18!”
“Paid for the game and there are still in-app purchases, which is lame, especially at those prices.”
“More in-app purchases after you purchase the game to get the full experience!”
