The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with forced ads after every match, often leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Additionally, the game is perceived as heavily pay-to-win, with in-game purchases required to progress effectively, further alienating free-to-play users.
- “It's a very fun game to play and surprisingly there is literally no ads, so that's great and I recommend this game.”
- “Awesome, there are no ads and there are multiple game modes.”
- “Good no ads, recommended.”
- “The most disgusting pay-to-win shooter for Android that's full of ads. Unplayable unless you buy something with real money, as your damage and HP scales with points. I strongly discourage anyone from downloading this game who wants to play a fair and free shooter. Oh, and the pop-ups after every single round (3 mins) have a 30s+ ad that's unskippable. You have to watch it, and after every match, the game asks you to buy a pack (3x). These ads are 3s+ and skippable after, horrible experience.”
- “Game experience considerably decreases in the free version once you play for a while with the intention that developers specifically are pushing players to opt for in-app purchases by introducing the need for gun points for upgrades, etc.”
- “This game could be so much fun if it wasn't for the horrible pay-to-win mechanics and 30-second ads after every 3-minute match.”

- “Great game, good graphics, pretty simple gameplay, enjoyable.”
- “Even after having a stable connection, it does not complete the gameplay. The irony is that all it adds is playing without any disturbance; the only problem is with the battle. When I start a battle, after 20 to 30 seconds, it shows 'no internet, try again.'”
- “I enjoy the game when it decides to work, but most of the time during gameplay, it'll freeze and then I get an 'app isn't responding' message, so I close it and just try again. It would be an amazing game if it wasn't for that.”
- “The game is too easy and lacks challenging obstacles and diverse game modes. I like how you made more realistic camos for the weapons, but I think the auto-fire mechanic takes the challenge out of the game.”

Make it more like other FPS games where the aiming is more dynamic. Change the graphics, and if this is a logo of CS, make it more decent and fun. It feels like a 2009 game.”
