The monetization strategy of the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding the ad system both optional and intrusive. While most ads are not forced and can be avoided by paying a reasonable fee to remove them, players express frustration over the frequency and necessity of watching ads to unlock chests and earn in-game currency. Overall, while some appreciate the ability to play ad-free for a small cost, others feel that the game manipulates players into watching ads, detracting from the overall experience.

- “It's an amazing game and no ads unless you watch a video, but it's a fun game and I would play it over and over.”
- “The game is worthless if you can't monetize it; ads need to be carefully thought out by developers to be rewarding, not punishing the player for not paying.”
- “Fun game, but the developers trick you into watching the ads by making you either spend hours trying to get enough coins to buy a new (expensive) character through grinding or watching an ad.”
- “The only thing holding this game back is the constant bombardment of ads.”
