The gameplay mechanics of the game are praised for their quality, with some users highlighting it as potentially one of their favorites. However, the experience is marred by a pay-to-win model that requires significant financial investment to progress, leading to frustration among players who seek a more balanced, free-to-play experience. Overall, while the core gameplay is solid, the monetization strategy detracts from its enjoyment.
“Pros: gameplay is perfect.”
“Gameplay without all this pay-to-win is great.”
“This game could have been one of my favorites due to its mechanics, but sadly you can't progress without wasting hundreds of euros. I could talk about the positive aspects of the game, and it has a fair amount of them, but it's not worth it. This game is not a free-to-play title; it's sadly just an imported cash grab with a pay-to-play model.”
“Does anyone know a similar game with those mechanics where you can progress while playing and not paying?”
“It's one of the most antisocial games I've ever played and seen. Sadly, because the gameplay without all this pay-to-win nonsense is great.”

The monetization model of the mobile app on Steam is heavily criticized for its reliance on in-game microtransactions, with players needing to spend exorbitant amounts—potentially over €1000—to achieve the highest VIP status. The DLC offered is essentially equivalent to in-app purchases, making it difficult for players who do not wish to spend money to progress in the game.
“The mobile app is being sold on Steam, and the DLC is essentially what in-app purchases would be.”
“Achieving the highest VIP status requires significant investment; to reach level 15, you need to buy 45,000 crystals, which costs around €1,000. Even with buffs, progressing without spending is nearly impossible.”
“The mobile app is being sold on Steam, and the 'DLC' is essentially just what in-app purchases would be.”
“To reach the highest VIP status, which you can only obtain through in-game microtransactions, you need to buy 45,000 crystals. This costs around €50 for just 1,500 crystals, and even with some buffs, you won't reach that VIP level without spending over €1,000. If you choose not to pay and just play, you can't progress at all.”
