The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for its excessive and intrusive ads, which often disrupt gameplay and force players to watch lengthy advertisements before and after rounds. Many users feel that the reliance on ads and microtransactions detracts from the overall experience, making progression difficult without spending money or watching numerous ads. The energy mechanic, which limits playtime and requires watching ads to replenish, has also been deemed frustrating and unnecessary by players.
“Edit: you can just make it a paid app, that is much better than hundreds of microtransactions.”
“Fantastic game concept but deep-fried with in-app purchases and marinated in a restrictive energy system.”
“It's so magnificent, and it barely has any ads.”
“Such a shame to see it full of microtransactions and ads (which as far as I can tell you can't even pay to avoid).”
“The game is fine, it's competent, if a little stale; however, the constant advertisements and videos you have to watch are a bit of a deal-breaker.”
“Great game destroyed by unskippable ads.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and fast-paced, with fun mechanics and good graphics, but it is heavily marred by an intrusive energy system that limits playtime and encourages ad viewing. Players have reported issues with bugs, crashes, and a convoluted skill tree that detracts from the overall experience. While some find the game educational and engaging, many express frustration over the monetization strategies and the need for improvements in user interface and offline play options.
“The graphics are great and the gameplay can be fast-paced.”
“Very fun time waster with tons of great modes to spice up the gameplay.”
“Wonderful game with great graphics and gameplay.”
“You are gated by the energy mechanic to force you to watch ads if you want to play more than a few times in one sitting.”
“The worst part is the skill tree to enhance your next game; you need points to upgrade the skills and then coins to use them, with a very low cap of use per day, which makes it redundant and not interesting to use at all. Probably one of the worst mechanics I've seen in a game as it makes rewards outside the playable area unpalatable.”
“Game is a worse ripoff of Plague Inc. plastered with a ton of ads and soulless cash grab mechanics like coins for base upgrades and energy to play.”

“Very disappointed the ad lied; this has no story at all and it lags like a game that was made in Unity.”
“In one mission, it gave my male patient menstrual irregularities as a symptom, and since the game isn't supposed to assign a female issue to a male patient, it wouldn't let me progress.”
