The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism due to the overwhelming frequency of ads, particularly during multiplayer sessions, which often result in players being disconnected from servers.

Overall, the consensus is that while the game is enjoyable, the excessive ads detract from its quality and playability.
“Easy to figure out controls (even if you skip the tutorial), daily quests, and no real need to do in-game purchases.”
“Broo, I swear, I recommend this game because first: there's no ads that pop up every 2 seconds, second: it's multiplayer and single player so it's basically offline, third, if you make an account you can save your data to the cloud and play on other devices with it.”
