The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the high frequency of ads and the inconsistent reward system associated with them. Many players report that watching ads often fails to yield the promised rewards, leading to frustration and a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some appreciate the lack of forced ads, the overall sentiment suggests that the ad system needs substantial improvement to enhance player experience.
“Enjoyable game, seems pretty well balanced with a good monetization strategy that is not too overbearing.”
“No ads and good reward system so you don't need to make in-app purchases to progress 10/10.”
“It's a pretty addicting game and no ads being forced into your face is a blessing.”
“Frequently you'll watch the ads and will either need to watch more than intended to get the reward or you'll simply never get the reward despite watching the ads 3 times or more.”
“Unfortunately the big issue is that the ad system in this game is atrocious - luckily you aren't hard blocked by it, but at least half of the time you watch the ads it fails to grant the reward.”
“I watched 10 ads to open chests but never got a single reward for it.”

The reviews indicate that the game is heavily grind-focused, particularly for free-to-play users, with many players expressing frustration over the slow progression and minimal rewards for their efforts. While some find the grinding aspect enjoyable and rewarding, a significant number feel it becomes tedious and frustrating, especially as they reach higher levels where progress often requires either extensive grinding or monetary investment. Overall, the consensus is that while the game has potential, its grind-heavy mechanics can detract from the overall experience.
“Very grindy if trying to play for free.”
“Progression is also slow, difficult, and grindy; having to replay previous levels to find materials and gems takes all the fun out of it for me, unfortunately.”
“Once you reach a certain point, it's impossible to progress without farming for days and days or just paying to win.”

“The gameplay is a grind without any skill-based mechanics.”
“The stamina mechanic is busted and drains the life from this game.”
