The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the prevalence of microtransactions, which some view as a cash grab. While the game is technically free-to-play and allows for easy progression without spending money, the presence of microtransactions and ads can be annoying and detract from the overall experience. Players note that despite the monetization issues, it is possible to enjoy the game without engaging in purchases, although the graphics and gameplay mechanics leave much to be desired.
“Microtransactions are voluntary, and considering it's a free-to-play game, I can understand why they were added.”

“There are a ton of microtransactions; however, you really don't need them if you don't want them.”

“Instead we have this technically free-to-play game that has some great game mechanics, held back with poor graphics, annoying cash grab microtransactions, and fields of bots.”
“The graphics are like 1995, there's barely any customization, you can't even play multiplayer as it's all just bots and trying to get a high score from what I can gather, and the game never told me what these silver and gold coins are for or how to get them... but alas on the main menu they have ads for paintball gear to buy in real life.”
