The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the overwhelming frequency and malfunctioning of ads, which disrupt gameplay and hinder progress. Many players report that watching ads for rewards often fails to yield the promised benefits, leading to frustration and a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some users appreciate the option to remove ads, they note that this feature is often ineffective, and the reliance on ads for essential resources like research points detracts from the overall experience.
- “The attention to detail is amazing and I love this game, but there's this glitch with the microtransactions that basically doesn't give you what you're buying.”
- “There is almost no ads (except adding 10k), mostly this game is great you can play this game offline any time.”
- “Final recommendation: let the users make an account in-game. Now I understand that this is a marketing strategy, so that when users delete the game, they're going to have to purchase in-game purchases, but I think it'll be better to add this.”
- “This game is a cash grab.”
- “The ads mess with the game and make it unplayable after, meaning I have to restart and I do not get rewarded for watching said ad.”
- “It's extremely hard to make money in this game, forcing you to watch ads or buy money; either that or I'm just bad.”
