The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards and the ability to pay for an ad-free experience, others feel overwhelmed by the constant interruptions, especially during gameplay transitions. Overall, while the game is playable for free, the heavy reliance on ads has led to a significant number of players considering it a major drawback.
- “A pretty good survival game that has no paywall, and is ad-supported, unless you buy the game which will have no ads.”
- “Wow, you made such a great game! Unlike most games in this style on the app store, it isn't pay-to-win and has an actual storyline. The ads don't bother me; you need to make money somehow, and the in-app purchases are very cheap and seem well worth it.”
- “It's like a bird's eye view version of 'This War Is Mine.' I like that it isn't shoving in-app purchases down your throat, so all in all, it's a grand little game.”
- “Developers are charging a lot for a game that they need to constantly bombard with ads; it's highly likely because the game isn't worth purchasing, so they try to get money by other means.”
- “The audacity to treat people with these immoral ads is disgusting and disrespectful.”
- “It's just sad because the 'forced-view' ads are annoying; unlike in other games, you get something every time in exchange for viewing ads, because you also get something out of it, right?”

- “It has clunky gameplay mechanics, poor English translation, bad characters, unoriginal zombies that follow an on-rails path, a very basic inventory system, and basic weaponry.
