The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ads, including forced video ads that disrupt gameplay and require players to watch them to progress. Many users report dissatisfaction with the "no ads" purchase option, claiming it does not effectively remove all ads, leading to frustration and a negative gaming experience. Overall, the monetization approach is viewed as predatory, detracting from the game's potential enjoyment.
“However, it is refreshing that there are no ads except the ones you choose to watch; it's the only thing going for this game.”
“I like the game and I'd give more stars if 'no ads' really meant no ads.”
“This game has been enjoyable yet feels very incomplete with unit purchasing errors and the purchasing of no ads not working while being pelted with ads; I don't recommend wasting any money.”
“It's designed from the ground up to make you watch ads, many of which lock the game, so you have to reboot it.”
“This game has amazing potential and could even be better than Gold and Goblins; it's gorgeous and has fun mechanics, but right now it's essentially window dressing for ads.”
“You can't play the game because they keep shoving ads in your face.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it slow and repetitive, often taking significantly longer to defeat enemies, which detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the game's mechanics and level design, the frequent ads during gameplay have been a major point of frustration, leading to complaints about the game's potential being overshadowed by its monetization strategy. Overall, players feel that the game lacks excitement and depth, with many comparing it unfavorably to similar titles.
“The gameplay is very simple and straightforward as presented in the ads.”
“Decent gameplay and nice level design.”
“I played this longer than I expected to, the concept and mechanics were clear and intuitive... but it just needs more.”
“I get ads are needed for revenue and I don't mind watching ads for rewards or bonus time, but ads during gameplay are a killer. This is a cheap rip-off of Gold and Goblins, which I've had for almost 2 years and never had to buy the no ads option or had ads during gameplay. Ads during gameplay are an automatic uninstall for me.”
“It's the first time I see a game having ads popping up during gameplay... uninstalled!!”
“Has some potential, but given the repetitive gameplay and lots of ads, it makes it impossible to enjoy.”

Players find that grinding in the game becomes increasingly tedious after reaching a certain point, particularly around village 15, where automation options become prohibitively expensive. While the game starts as a fun idle experience with appealing visuals, the enjoyment diminishes as the grind intensifies.
“After a few villages, it becomes a real slog (on village 15). You cannot automate anything anymore as it's too expensive, and it just becomes tedious.”
“But it becomes very tedious as you progress.”
