The monetization strategy of the game relies heavily on in-game advertisements, which some players find excessive and off-putting, though they acknowledge the developer's small scale and intent to improve the game.

Overall, the monetization approach is likened to that of other games, indicating a familiar but potentially overwhelming ad presence.
- “The monetization system is just like World of Tanks, so the developer didn't lie.”
- “I came back after a week or two and now there is a bunch of in-game ads, pretty off-putting - but I also understand it's a small developer who's trying to work his way to a better game.”
- “Barely works, but all the advertisements sure are working just fine.”
- “As for the advertisements, these are in-game to advertise Petr Simunek's other games. While it could be argued that these are excessive, they are static in the game and thus easier to implement reliably.”
