The monetization model of the game is heavily criticized, with many users noting that while optional ads are available, they often fail to function properly and do not significantly aid progression. Players feel pressured to either spend money or endure excessive ad watching to advance, leading to perceptions of a paywall and a cash grab. Overall, the experience is marred by technical issues with ads and a lack of effective free progression options.
- “This is probably 111% the most cash grab game, massive pay wall where progress comes to a screeching halt.”
- “You either pay or watch a million ads just to play the game.”
- “It's practically pay-to-win or watch an absurd amount of ads.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it monotonous and overly reliant on a pay-to-win model, leading to boredom after a certain level. While there are elements of strategy and enjoyable mechanics in certain genres like tower defense, many users feel that the overall experience lacks depth and becomes grind-heavy, making progression difficult without significant time investment or spending.
- “Game is awesome, really enjoyed it, but the reason for 4 stars is the challenges. They are fine in gameplay, but I would reconsider the cost of 100 challenge points (CP) later; it is too much if you want to play, and I'm not even talking about the full price, which is 200 CP right now.”
- “Great tower defense, and very diverse gameplay. 10/10, enjoyable.”
- “Monotonous gameplay, pay to win, and inflexible gameplay style.”
- “However, the game lacks deeper gameplay.”
- “There is actual gameplay and strategy that players can explore to some extent, and then it's back to idle game shenanigans. I enjoyed it until it became almost impossible to progress or summon new legendary dice without spending almost all day grinding.”

- “Grinding takes forever.”
- “Just like all 111% games, this game becomes grinding or pay to play quickly.”
- “There is actual gameplay and strategy that players can explore to some extent, and then it's back to idle game shenanigans. I enjoyed it until it became almost impossible to progress or summon new legendary dice without spending almost all day grinding.”
