While some players acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free-to-play model, the overwhelming presence of ads—often deemed intrusive and poorly timed—has led to a decline in enjoyment and even player retention. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the appropriateness of some ads, particularly for younger audiences, further complicating the game's reputation.

Many reviews highlight that the gameplay becomes tedious due to repetitive missions and the slow pace of expansion, making it difficult to enjoy the narrative.

- “It's kind of bold for a laggy, glitchy game to have a quest that legitimately says 'buy in-game currency with your hard-earned money and I'll give you a reward' when that 'reward' isn't worth the bare minimum $5 you want us to shell out so early in the game.”
- “No game with microtransactions should have a quest to use real currency to complete an in-game quest.”
