The monetization strategy of the game primarily relies on ads in the free version, which are generally considered non-intrusive and easy to skip, though some players report issues with ads causing game freezes or crashes.

- “Lots of interesting stat mechanics, and no in-app purchases!”
- “There is no pay-to-win or in-app purchases.”
- “The game could be interesting, but the intrusiveness of the ads is borderline unbearable, especially when they fail to load and crash the game.”
- “The free version spams ads much too often (every few loading screens), which means after every couple of battles or simply moving in and out of buildings and zones, the player is taken out of the game to an ad screen. I'm turned off buying it out of spite - obviously trying to make a buck over player experience.”
- “My only issue is that the ads made me lose quite a bit of playtime; I do plan on getting this game for pay-to-play, but a lot of my time has been reset due to every ad making me reload my last save.”

- “Great gameplay, classic turn-based RPG with great art style and tasteful humor.”
- “The gameplay itself has a pretty good old school Final Fantasy feel to it.”
- “I love this game, but even though the latest update fixed the bug in the small town, I still encountered it. It really makes me mad that I had 6 and a half hours of gameplay ruined because I couldn't continue.”
- “For when it freezes, it happened in 2 rooms, so I think that it was a timed thing because when it shows the loading screen with the heartbit logo after exiting a room, my gameplay will freeze.”
- “But it crashes every time the game tries to take me to the game store to buy the retail version, and I cannot progress further than 5 minutes of gameplay.”

- “Returned to this game and it's better than last time, but the game freezes after the developer logo displays and it happens at random intervals, so I might not even get a chance to save.”
- “Good game for phone with an amusing story; however, walking around in between towns, the game freezes or crashes after I finish a random encounter. The only button that works is the help in the top right.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be manageable and enjoyable, with some noting that it can be challenging if under-leveled or poorly equipped. While grinding is not mandatory, it can enhance the experience, especially for side quests and rewards; however, some users express frustration with hidden mechanics and the potential for losing significant progress due to ads or unexpected challenges.

- “Not grindy unless you want to.”
- “Graphics are nice, battles are not tedious, and are interspersed with mature humor.”
- “I just dislike how hidden the secrets are, like the achievement to defeat Richard, which I couldn't do since I managed to survive the waves of minions jumping from the ship with 2 party members alive (on my first playthrough). I would've just started over again, but I already spent about 60 hours with just my first 2 playthroughs combined. I wish I knew that I was supposed to lose so I wouldn't have to start all over again grinding enough just to beat 1 enemy.”
- “I understand that you advise to save regularly, but that doesn't mean I would save every single time I'm grinding... It made me give up on the game when, in one unique incident, I lost 3 hours worth of progress.”
- “The controls and the inventory system are annoying (unnecessarily), and after the second town I encountered (which had all new equipment to buy), I felt too much grinding was required... I only encountered one monster on the way there and suddenly I have to buy more expensive better things?”

- “The controls are terrible, fighting is unintuitive and the music sounds like it came from inside a fishbowl.”
- “Had to uninstall because the music and sounds cannot be muted until after the tutorial and, moreover, because doing so doesn't actually make the game quiet, as there is a very loud cricket that is unaffected by the volume settings.”
