The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on microtransactions and ad views, reminiscent of mobile games, which detracts from the overall experience. Players can earn currency slowly for free, but the advantage gained through in-app purchases is significant, making it feel like a cash grab. The repetitive nature of ads and the necessity to watch them to progress further frustrate many users, leading to a dull gameplay experience.
“It's simple, it's free, it's low res, it's blatantly a port of a mobile game, complete with egregious premium currency microtransaction options (although PC is earnable incredibly slowly for free) and 'watch ads for a boost' mechanics, but like... yeah, I mean, it's alright.”
“Even for a free game, it's extremely dull and I can't even give it full credit for being free because it has microtransactions.”
“Sure, you can win without paying; it's not hard, but the sheer advantage you get from using in-app purchases is absurd.”
