The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as exploitative, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping, suggesting it is a cash grab rather than a genuine product. Users have noted the presence of fake reviews and suspicious account activity, indicating a lack of integrity in the game's marketing and sales approach.
“As always with asset flips, this is a minimum viable product intended as a cash grab.”
“The 'developers' here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism as well as a cash grab.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, and the accounts are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
