The monetization of "Fated Souls 2" is criticized as a blatant cash grab, with a price point of around $5 deemed unrealistic given the game's numerous defects and reliance on low-quality, stock assets. Reviewers express frustration that such shovelware undermines the reputation of amateur developers and highlights the abundance of superior free games available on Steam.
“Fated Souls 2 has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of around $5 USD. It's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
“This kind of cash grab construction kit shovelware from bad actors like Andorlea gives amateur developers a bad name.”
“It's horribly basic, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, full of stock copy-pasted RPG Maker assets. No real game development has taken place here; this is just a cash grab, it's shovelware polluting Steam for profit.”
