The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing it as a "cash grab" that heavily relies on in-app purchases, making it feel pay-to-win.

While some users note occasional fun and good gameplay, the overwhelming sentiment highlights that the game's stability problems significantly detract from overall enjoyment.
“Seamless gameplay, much better functionality than FFXVANE, no glitches, etc.”
“It is a really stable platform with no glitches I can see. Playing this game nearly 2 weeks now and still fun, 4.5 out of 5.”
“Then there's the serious lag (has been getting worse as time goes on) during events and glitches and bugs left and right that ruin an event even if you were looking forward to getting matched up against a maxed player that single handedly demolishes your entire alliance's top players.”
“Downloaded the game it seemed fun then I bought a pack for $5. Everything was fine until the game prompted me to build a lab and start research. Now it is stuck in a loop; every time I load the game, it prompts me to do the same research on construction and then freezes. My username in the game is hatedxcowboy, and I can't even get to the menu tab to email support.”
“The game is filled with glitches and bugs, and the dev team's solution to fixing bugs is penalizing the very players who report the bugs to them.”
