The monetization strategy for "climb" raises concerns, as it is currently free but expected to incorporate microtransactions if it progresses beyond early access. Given its poor reception and quality, many doubt the game's future viability and fear it may never fully launch.
- “It's free for now, but the developer intends to charge for this via microtransactions if it ever leaves early access.”
- “It's free for now, but the developer intends to charge for this via microtransactions if it ever leaves early access... but considering the poor public reception, it's likely this will not be one of the 25% of games that ever gets finished and leaves early access.”
- “Climb is a badly made, abandoned early access attempt at making a low-quality PvP arena game where you are supposed to get to the top of a series of low poly platforms and then wait and see if the developer infests the game with microtransactions before they abandon it.”
