The game has transitioned from a mobile port with microtransactions to a model that eliminates in-app purchases, yet retains a currency system involving gems and coins.

- “Incredibly fun, it is structured like a free-to-play game but with no microtransactions in sight; you just earn the currencies in-game.”
- “This is probably a mobile port, but the controller support is great and no in-app purchases that I have seen.”
- “The only real problem I have is that it apparently was originally a mobile port, and has a currency system based around microtransactions.”

- “Now I want it to be crystal clear that I hate a vast majority of mobile games, mobile game design, microtransactions, and really - anything associated with mobile game culture.”
