Reviewers indicate that the game's replayability is limited, primarily due to a paywall that restricts frequent play. Players can only engage with the game a few times a week without incurring additional costs, which diminishes the overall replay value.

“Once you've experienced the main storyline, there's not much left to draw you back in for a second playthrough.”
