  • monetization
    260 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the overwhelming presence of microtransactions and the necessity to watch numerous ads to progress. Users report that the rewards from ads are minimal compared to the costs of in-game items, leading to a gameplay experience dominated by ad-watching rather than actual play. While some appreciate the option to earn currency through ads, the overall sentiment is that the game feels more like an advertisement simulator than a balanced gaming experience, often forcing players to choose between spending real money or investing excessive time in watching ads.

    • “The game itself is what it was years ago, it hasn't changed a bit; but there is way more microtransactions and you have to pay to play basically.”
    • “You have to watch a ridiculous amount of ads to get coins, everything in the shop costs way too much, and it's hard to get gems and coins.”
    • “It's hard to keep up profits in the beginning so just watch advertisements or actually purchase in-game currency.”

  • story
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players are calling for more diverse missions and a richer storyline to enhance gameplay and maintain interest.
