The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive and often unskippable ads that interrupt gameplay, with many players reporting having to watch multiple ads before even starting a match. While some players acknowledge the necessity of ads in a free-to-play model, they express frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads, which detract from the overall gaming experience. Additionally, the presence of microtransactions and a perceived pay-to-win structure further exacerbate concerns, leading many to wish for a one-time purchase option to remove ads entirely.
- “This game is really good, there's no ads and it's fun.”
- “Almost no ads and it's free, fun, and a very good game to enjoy without ads!”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun and engaging mechanics, combining elements from both Bloons TD 6 and the original Battles. However, many players express frustration with the slow progression and experience (XP) system, which can make unlocking upgrades feel tedious and grindy, particularly for non-paying players. Additionally, issues such as lag, desync, and frequent crashes detract from the overall experience, leading to a mixed reception regarding gameplay quality.

- “I lose most of my games because of eco lag, bloons cannot be sent because of lag... and it does affect gameplay really hard.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive time required to unlock upgrades and towers, often leading to a pay-to-win perception. While some updates have improved the experience by reducing grind times, many still find the system tedious and unbalanced, particularly for free-to-play users. Overall, while the game remains enjoyable, the grinding remains a significant barrier for many players.

- “It's great, but I grinded for ages for experience, and now they give tier 4 for no grinding. Please change, Ninja Kiwi.”
- “The game is nearly unplayable in its current state as of 1/2/22, it feels as if it would take you like a full 2 years of grinding nonstop to unlock all tier 5's.”
- “It's incredibly tedious to even get a tier three, taking roughly 15 or so games to unlock one tier three for a single tower.”
- “The experience points required to upgrade towers are still feeling very grindy, but are significantly better than they were.”
