The monetization strategy of the game is primarily based on optional ads that provide in-game rewards, which players generally appreciate for not being intrusive. However, many users express frustration over the frequency of ads, noting that significant progress often requires watching multiple ads, leading to a perception of the game being overly reliant on ad views. While some players find the ad system fair and beneficial, others feel it detracts from gameplay, making it feel more like an ad-viewing simulator than a traditional game.
- “While there are in-app purchases, you do not need to use them.”
- “The monetization is not greedy, you only use ads for boosters, there is no forced ad.”
- “I like that there are no ads.”
- “I played this game for about a week; it's 98% ads, 2% gameplay, and 100% you can't do anything in a reasonable amount of time without paying.”
- “It's basically an ad-viewing simulator with no actual accomplishment or benefit to viewing the ads, because at the end of it, there still is no game.”
- “Amusing for about an hour before it becomes apparent they locked as many features behind paywalls or ads as possible.”

The music in the game has received mixed feedback from users; while some praise it as enjoyable and non-intrusive, others find it repetitive and reminiscent of tracks from other games, particularly noting similarities to the workshop theme from Neverwinter. Players express a desire for more variety in the soundtrack, suggesting that additional songs would enhance the overall experience.
- “Fantastic game, really rewarding, and also, whoever's in charge of the music is a genius and I love them.”
- “I love this game! It's extremely easy to learn how to play and not difficult at all. The music, unlike most mobile games, doesn't get annoying after a couple of seconds. Plus, with how many weapons you can unlock, this game will keep you trying to unlock all the weapons for a while; it's very addicting.”
- “I really like and enjoy this merger; it's casual and chill, with no forced ads. The music is really cool, and I would just like to know how the main theme (the music) is called or how I can get it.”
- “Excellent merge game, one of the best in my opinion, but upon opening the game, the music bugged me because it sounded so familiar until I realized that it was the workshop theme from Neverwinter. I'm not saying anyone stole it, just pointing out that they are the same.”
- “It's a fun, easy, addicting time-waster, but for the love of God, add new music please! The same song is so annoying over and over again; add at least two more songs.”
- “You do know that your soundtrack is a copyright infringement, right? From a game called Neverwinter.”

- “Now it continuously glitches out; where main components will not work.”
- “I can't stop playing. Please send help. After I forged the last weapon, I realized that if you have automerge on, it will try to merge the highest value weapon. Since the last one cannot be merged, it glitches and stops giving you gold. Please fix this.”
