The gameplay mechanics of the game are praised as perfect and potentially enjoyable, but players express frustration over the pay-to-win model that hinders progression without significant financial investment. Many feel that the game is more of a cash grab than a true free-to-play experience, leading to a negative perception despite the solid gameplay foundation.
“Pros: gameplay is perfect.”
“Gameplay without all this paywall is great.”
“This game could, from the mechanics, be one of my favorite games.”
“This game could, from the mechanics, be one of my favorite games, but sadly you can't progress without wasting hundreds of euros. I could even talk about the positive aspects of that game, and it has a good amount of them, but it's not worth it. This game is not a free-to-play title; it's sadly nothing more than an imported cash grab pay-to-play model.”
“One of the most antisocial games I've ever played and seen... sadly... because the gameplay without all this pay-to-win is great.”
“Pay-to-win game; you must have at least one DLC for easier gameplay.”

The monetization model of the mobile app sold on Steam heavily relies on in-game microtransactions, with players needing to spend exorbitant amounts—potentially over €1,000—to achieve the highest VIP status. The DLC offered mirrors typical in-app purchases, and without significant financial investment, players find it nearly impossible to progress in the game.
“The mobile app is being sold on Steam, and the 'DLC' is essentially what in-app purchases would be.”
“The highest VIP status, which you can achieve through in-game microtransactions, is level 15. To reach this level, you need to buy 45,000 crystals, which costs around 1,500 of those, equating to 50€. Without any buffs on paid crystals, which are not that great, you won't reach that VIP level without spending over 1,000€. Even with buffs, you are still looking at over 500€, and if you want to play without paying, you can't progress.”
