The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive, featuring intrusive ads and a heavy emphasis on in-game purchases that create a pay-to-win environment. Many players feel that the gameplay does not match the promotional material, leading to disappointment and frustration, while others describe the overall experience as shallow and lacking depth. Overall, the consensus is that the game prioritizes profit over player experience, making it a prime example of a cash grab in mobile gaming.
“The monetization system is fair and doesn't feel overly aggressive.”
“I appreciate that the game offers plenty of free content without forcing you to spend money.”
“The in-game purchases are optional and don't impact the overall gameplay experience.”
“Support blocks you if you annoy them, graphics are an eyesore, controls are bugged, events are there just for the cash grab, don't imagine you're going to have skill-based matchmaking in PvP, the screen is cluttered with exclamation marks for premium stuff.”
“Just quick cash grabs, no real depth or complexity; the games are just shallow and empty.”
“Starting downloading then realized it's an eyou game, so I stopped. These people just do basic cash grabs; all their games are basic with 2 classes, and each class has different abilities but does the same thing. There is no difference. Don't play these games; they're greedy and all pay-to-win.”
